Police Officer Shootings
Joshb who really needs a brain? Aren't you the one siding with the government that's over taxing everyone and sending young man and women over seas to die for government interest? Aren't you the one siding with cops who use their job title to be above the law that they enforce? If you don't think the government is making money off the prison system you need to smoke a spliff and not that crack you are use to!! In prison they make furniture , computers , even equipment for the military. Why you think amerikkka is always selling weapons and not buying them , it's because they got a cheap work force in prison. Do you really think the government would stop crime if they wanted to? That's like saying they are going to lower taxes soon. The government isn't going to stop anything they are profiting from. Who's acting like the prison are filled with pot smokers? Just because my name is SPLIFFADAMZ don't get it twisted!! You have to excuse me for shyting on the government that you love so much. But since the amerikkkan government has been in place , people have become more confuse and scared to stand up to authority. Just like when bush muscled his way into office and the amerikkkan people did nothing. You are for legalized pot? I'm not , because cigarettes and alcohol are legal and look how many people die from those two each year. SDaniels I don't know or even care what joshb color is. But since you were wondering about what i said in my blog , i'll clear it up for ya. We are all off the same race , which is the human race. Only the uneducated and simple minded uses color as a way to keep us separate which happens to be our government. The amerikkkan government has treated every culture like shyt no matter what the color of your skin is. So what ever happens to you and your ethnic culture , happens to us all. So your ancestors are my ancestors and mine are your ours , since we are all part of the human race. Amerikkka enslaved whites just like they enslave every other color of people. Don't forget indenture servitude. lallaw i feel ya saying that alot of people are in prison because of their choices , but racism dose play a heavy roll on alot of people choices. I'm not saying that you can't get a job because of the color of your skin , but people in amerikkka look at each other different because of the color of skin which makes it harder to live here. This kind of mentality can create more crime , because people got to eat.— April 27, 2009 11:41 a.m.

SDaniels - The only problem i have is when people side with the oppressor when they are being oppressed by the oppressor. People think cops never do wrong , but forget being a cop is really just a job. What needs to be look at is the person in the uniform and we to understand that a job title doesn't excuse you from bad behavior. Also people need to understand that the police are the governments military , use to keep the citizen here in line. If you are good or bad the government still would love to have every one lock away and used for cheap labor. That's why the prison industry is a billion dollar industry. That's why amerikkka has over a million people behind bars , and mostly for non violent crimes. If i'm firing on people to much , i got to blame my ethics teacher all we did was debate in her class on everything. I'm color blind so don't see everything in black and white , but unlike some people i've realized that if it wasn't for racism there would be no amerikkka.— April 24, 2009 10:51 a.m.

Norv Turner's dinner in Los Angeles
I'm pretty sure the fans are fed up. Fed up of being fake. Did ESPN say anything about the companies in SD that were buying the remaining tickets then GIVING them away so that the home games wouldn't be black out here in SD last year!! I'm pretty sure ESPN didn't give that info. You say loyalty is a 2 way street i believe that , but SD is only loyal when they are winning!! I remember when seau was playing for the chargers and he said in a interview that playing in SD was like playing in a away game. So where's the loyalty at? The only reason the chargers have had high attendance , is because they have been going to the play-off these past few seasons. You say lions fans were 30th in attendance last year , but they ain't talking about the team moving anywhere any time soon like the chargers are doing and they still playing on turkey day this year. The chargers need a new stadium , because Jack Murphy isn't handicap friendly and people have been protesting them on the issue. The sports industry is all about money and all that money they spend on getting the best players they have to make that back. The chargers got on of the best RB and TE in the league and if that can't sell out home games. Then why stay in a city with half azz support?— April 24, 2009 9:38 a.m.
Norv Turner's dinner in Los Angeles
Noboby cares about the sorry azz chargers in SD unless they are winning!! If the chargers were a winning franchise these bandwagon fans in SD would support them. But since the chargers are a losing franchise then bandwagon SD don't really care about them. The fans of the detroit lions still supported their team even though they didn't win a game last season. But here in SD there were no charger fans until they beat the colts and found out they could make the play-offs. Then after they got their azz spank by the steelers the fake bandwagon fans disappeared. If I was spanos i would move my team to a city that comes to the games and supports the team all the time , not only when they are winning. SD HOME TO THE FAKE BANDWAGON CHARGER FAN!!!!— April 22, 2009 10:36 a.m.

Poff i feel ya. The bird rock bandits did got off easy but , they only got off easy because they were white. Everyone knows white amerikkka doesn't want to be associated with street gang activity , they want that tag to be on everyone non white!!! Sad but , that's how stereotypes are used and people stay confused in this country!!!!— April 22, 2009 9:57 a.m.

Any black man that calls another black man a racist after knowing what blacks went through here in amerikkka is a idiot. So calling Al Sharpton a racist , joshb you are not even worth listen to because you are an azz kisser of the government that brought your ancestors over here and has treated them like shyt up until the day i wrote this blog. For any one that don't like the way i spell amerikkka , don't hate on me. It's not my fault that's how amerikkka was founded and they have been practicing racism since day one!!!!!— April 22, 2009 9:39 a.m.

I guess you people don't really understand what a gang is. Any group of people with a logo and/or colors that control a small area can be consider a gang. So technically speaking every nation , state , city and town is a gang!! So is not the amerikkkan government a gang? Amerikkka has colors red , white and blue. Amerikkka has a flag with stars and stripes! Amerikkkan has its own national anthem that everyone pledges allegiance to!! Amerikkka even uses the bald eagle as a animal logo and controls a land mass area. Amerikkka's got dummies in the military who go out to other countries and kill women and children to protect the amerikkkan interest!! Amerikkka has a police force to keep the cowards over here in line. Amerikkka deals with the drug trade and slave trade , just ask mexico!!! And lets not forget amerikkka has a population of idiots who vote on keeping the amerikkkan gang alive and running!!! But the amerikkkan population don't think or look at amerikkka as being a gang , because they are to busy supporting the set. When i hear shaved head and tattoos it sounds more like military to me you know army , navy , air force or marines. Oblocal07 what do you know about clairemont?? Your blog name is OBLOCALO7 , dosen't that mean you are in ocean beach and not in clairemont? Before you talk about who knows what about any part of the city , ask yourself what part of the city do you represent? Besides who cares if there are gangs in clairemont , them gangs in clairemont ain't kickin up any dust any where else in the city!! They just stay in clairemont and hide their. I never seen a clairemont gangsta in southeast where the blood and crips play!! Or even in the logan and sherman area where other latinos gangs are. I never seen a clairemont gangsta in national city where their are more gang members then police. But then again you are only a ocean beach local , you don't even represent the clairemont area that you trying to speak on!!! You say i'm jumping to conclusions? They never caught the shooter , so how the hell do you know it was a gang member that shot dude? If the person that was shot was in a gang , don't you think they would have said it in the article. You say gang violence is huge in that area , when did this start? There has been gangs in SD since the early 80s , only now in 2009 i'm hearing about clairemont so when they start banging out there? You need to stop lying to kick it , you and i both know you don't know who got shot. Stop trying to act like you know whats happen in the streets when you just hide out in ocean beach area OBLOCALO7!!!— April 22, 2009 9:24 a.m.

In the article they didn't say anything about the shooter being a gang member or that this shooting happening in a area where gang activity is high. So why the title games gangs play? Oh wait i know why because they said the shooter was a latino male with a shaved head and tattoos. I guess every latino with a shaved head and tattos is a gang member. You people are a bunch of stupid azz racist dorks!!!!!— April 20, 2009 9:59 a.m.
