Neighbors Comment on Can't-Miss Stories of the Week

Read what your neighbors had to say about a distress call hoax and the tragic shooting of two Santa Cruz police officers.

 

Distress Calls From Family on Sinking Boat May Have Been a Hoax

Bret G. Goodman wrote, "Have given this much thought and as a sailor with a 28 ft boat myself , who does not have multiple gps devices on board or some kind of personal beacon device or chart plotter, not to mention life raft or inflatable !"

 

Friend Shares Memories of Man Killed in Motorcycle Accident

Roger Tonna said, "Moses was a character, and simply a great guy. I knew him for many years, and always he had such warm and friendly personality to him. 
God Bless Mosses!!"

 

Gun Buyback Nets Hundreds of Firearms

Donald Lee wrote, "Participating in a gun buy back because you believe that the criminals have too many guns is like having yourself castrated because you believe that the neighbors have too many kids."

 

Facebook to Keep Graffiti in Tunnel Between Campuses

Alan Dale Brown wrote, "This artist did some really nice work, in an unobtrusive location; I can understand Facebook's decision. Most graffiti is nothing like that; there are few things I hate more than tagging. The electric chair is a bit extreme ... but that's my visceral reaction to most graffiti. It can ruin a neighborhood, and cost a lot of money to repair."

 

Sam wrote, "Sad case. Not following procedures can get you killed in this business. Rap sheets are run prior to suspect contact to alert officers to violent pasts. Allowing him to leave their view was the fatal mistake. Nothing can be changed now, only a lesson learned for all who still wear a badge."

 

Red Light Camera Violation Process Explained

E Talv wrote, "Is there any actual evidence that accidents have been reduced since 2005 on those intersections? How much money has been made? It's just a revenue generator for the city!"

So why do you keep voting for bigger Government? Seems the consumers have solved the problemRead More without "It's" help.
Lou Covey, The Local Motive March 31, 2013 at 12:43 pm
This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing foodRead More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food.... why the secret if it is so safe??? I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about. Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
