What made me think of this incident? Read this article and see
how corporations are literally controlling your lives:

This is just another example of how your country is ****ing itself up
the ass.

And why is it that a private company is paid to patrol a public beach?

The news story I just saw said that the beach he was hired to patrol
is a PRIVATE beach. *The lifeguard company is well within it's rights
to limit the employees' range (and liability) to the private beach.

Now, firing hte guy is another story.

That depends on the applicable state laws...

Some states establish an overriding "duty-to-care"
for trained lifesavers which requires those trained
and qualified to render aid to do so... The employer
can not nullify those requirements via any contract
entered into by offering a person employment...
