After fierce bidding by several competing management groups, the powers within the USMC have announced that Shawn Walker has been granted a 10 year lease on Camp Pendleton Paintball Park. Shawn Walker, former head of Pacific Paintball (NPPL), managed to take over the day to day operations of the park just as Pacific Paintball was filing for bankruptcy. Accusations flew between both sides that misappropriations of funds exceeding $100,000.00 took place and included a claim that Shawn Walker hacked the field website for use under his direction.
Insiders report that the Marine Corps delayed issuing a ruling so they could further review the proposals submitted. Word has it that Giant Paintball had secured a serious amount of funding from several banks but Shawn Walker’s proposal ultimately won the approval of the Marines due to his plan to create the “disneyland of paintball parks” and his existing relationship with the Corps.

So does this mean we get to add Shawn Walker to the enormous list of people that waste tax payers money since it is on government land?

What a fucking joke this guy is. No shame. He’s pathetic. Anyone that is protecting him is a dumb ass. Walker needs to get a life. I hope this guy goes bankrupt again and begs for money

I’m very suprised the pro teams who live in or travel to San Diego are willing to support him by practicing at his field.

He’s probably giving them a discount to sucker them in for a favor in return. That is how he is. He lures people into imaginary dreams of affordable fun then changes his mind. That is how he thinks.
Yes, this guy likes paintball.
Does he like you (the people)? Yes, he does.
You know what else he likes, despite everything else good in paintball, money. When it comes to money, you’ll be forgotten. He’s a snake. Anybody that supports this guy has got to be either very stupid or just asking for it. I don’t care if anyone backs this guy up. Just remember one thing.
He isn’t hated for no reason. It’s hard to prove the facts, but when people tell you to stay away, you stay away.
