Who Buys and Who Sells at San Diego Farmers' Markets
I used to go to the OB Farmer's Market every week, until I had a couple of experiences of coming home to find old or rotten fruit hidden at the bottom of a bag, with a couple of fresh pieces on top, to fool prospective buyers. Now, I just save my money and go to Stump's. It's much more convenient and cheaper, too!— July 13, 2012 10:48 p.m.

I have a major problem with the fact that this Gardner filth, who had a propensity for violence and abused drugs and alcohol, whose mother was fully aware of his SEXUAL OFFENDER status, allowed him to binge on substances while living in her home without notifiying the authorities of his whereabouts.By doing so may have kept Chelsea safe at least. I read elsewhere that he and his MATERNAL aunt were involved in a sexual relationship, weeks before he killed Amber. These are sick, white trash people.— July 6, 2012 10:52 a.m.

Oh I COMPLETELY agree. Escondido PD pulled Gardner over with an OPEN container, driving the girlfriend's car w/ her young son in tow, while stalking young females. How is THAT not a crime???? I've also read that he was pulled over up in Temecula in his own car and he matched the description of a creep that threatened another girl with a gun. WHERE did he get the gun? (I believe he lived with his Grandmother up in Riverside for a while.)— June 30, 2012 10:10 p.m.

Maybe not everyone can be warned, but they can still be protected. Why not castrate someone who has exhibited this type of uncontrollable behavior? Either surgically or chemically. Why can't they be monitored electronically? The technology exists. The same thing with Domestic Violence offenders. If someone is convicted of a serious injury on another person, they should have to wear a GPS device of some sort. And they should have to pay for it themselves, too.— June 30, 2012 5:25 p.m.
Creation of a Monster, John Gardner
I grew up in a house that was literally around the corner from where Amber was abducted. I went to High School with Carrie, her mother. I can't even find the words to express how much this tragedy has haunted me. It still does. I feel that both Gardner's mother and girlfriend were accomplices and should have been charged. AND that the judge should have thrown out the plea bargain.— June 30, 2012 5:17 p.m.
