Jerry Brown’s Horse Race
But remember, almost 6 million people voted in favor of it; that was something like almost 75% in favor of it. == And they all voted for it being based on SERIOUS and VIOLENT felony crimes. Not stealing a slice of pizza or stealing $100 of video tapes from WalMart, both of which were charged, and convicted of, as third strikes resulting in 25-life. There is simply NO REASON to be putting people in the joint for 25-life over that kind of minor bullshit. Especially when the cost is $50K per year-of which 90% of that $50K goes to the prison guard compensation. I have no problem putting VIOLENT offenders away for 25-life. But the law is and always has been abused.— February 16, 2012 1:28 a.m.
Jerry Brown’s Horse Race
But are people considering that he is the one who passed the determinate sentencing laws when he was governor before that ultimately broke our State == 3 strikes is what broke the system, that was 1994, not Clown's work. And the $200K per year prsiosn guard comp, which Gray Davis did.— February 15, 2012 7:52 p.m.
V.A. Inspector General Says Problems at Call Center Risk Veterans’ Lives
what are the responders' qualifications? == All gov jobs are given out on nepotism and cronyism, how else do you explain $75K janitor/secretary/street cleaner jobs. I am sure these call center people comp at least $50K-$70K in total comp. / / who oversees the folks who answer the phones? == Idiots. Once again nepotism and cronyism controls who is promoted.— February 15, 2012 7:51 p.m.
Carlsbad Attorney Admits Taking Clients’ Funds for Personal Use
Guestspeaker, we all know the case and the sentencing date-it has been posted repeatedly. Aren't you the one who claimed that dork state bar judge Richard Honn was a great judge??? Please. Honn has the brain power of a chimp, as do most of the "state bar court" judges. BTW-state bar court is not a court-it is nothing more than an administrative arm of the state bar and the judges there are pathetic rubber stamps of 90% of what the state bar wants them to do. BTW- it would be nice if you stopped cutting and pasting all the state bar court info and just typed up some of your OWN comments, original comments, that give YOUR opinion and insight, not what the SBC has posted all over their web page.— February 14, 2012 10:52 p.m.
Memory of Amber DuBois Celebrated Three Years After
I look at my life and all the problems in it and they don't add up to 1/1,000th of the pain this family has suffered.— February 14, 2012 3:58 p.m.
Fed H-1B Visa Probes May Help American Engineers
Excellent reply Don. Making money is the American way of life, and greed is not in and of itself bad, not at all, but when the country starts getting destroyed by a playing field that is not above board, level or fair as a result of greed gone wold then that is where the problem starts, and sooner or later will end- and not in a good way.— February 13, 2012 7:27 p.m.
Occupy Makes Democratic Convention Showing
The OWS/OSD are the other side of the Tea Party coin. These two groups I admire GREATLY. Both groups are fighting the same battle. Cronyism. They (OWS/TP)are the ones sticking up for the average American and are sick and tired of the crony deals the gov has been handing out the last 30 years to special interest groups. Yes, many people will say I am nuts- and that OWS/TP (one or the other) are fruitcakes, but they both basically want the same thing, to stop the cronyism in gov.— February 13, 2012 5:35 p.m.

Hikers stumble upon marijuana plantation in Cuyamaca State Park
. I am the ex-husband of Luwain Ng, the woman who was victimized by the family court lawyer Patricia Gregory == Wow, that is a wild twist in this sad sorry story. I feel BAD for your Ex-Luwain Ng, she got royally screwed, and then that low life Gregory had the nerve to say Ng ruined HER LIFE (Gregory)?????? What nerve. I hope the judge takes Gregory's lack of remorse into consideration at her sentencing (I know the judge will). Well, I have a feeling Gregory is going to go to prison. Might be "local prison" (county jail), but that is actually worse than regular prison. I hope your Ex is fully compensated by the State Bar Recovery Fund.— February 12, 2012 10:44 p.m.
