Bad son
I am very sorry this happened to your grandparents, although I do wonder why hasn't anyone in the family tried to solve this issue? Elder abuse is so very rampant and needs to be addressed, you are right.— August 10, 2014 9:43 p.m.
No trolley dancing here, folks
The other day I had a conversation and one person said that in San Diego you'll have to have money to live. I asked so how do the many folks who just make minimum wage get by and the person answered that they turn to crime... It somehow makes sense for a person to get on a trolley without a pass if they are in need to go to a job interview, job or meeting with their social worker or whatever... My parents were part of the world war two generation growing up in Europe and I recall often how my mother told me of her night time excursions to roam the fields of farms nearby to steal potatoes. I am not condoning theft but I do understand that people do things as they see it for survival. Some more some less. The potato example may not be good here, given my parents were "guilty" of agreeing with a dictator, but many did repent after and tried their entire life to change the wrong... I want to think that many criminals are the same.— July 15, 2014 9:58 a.m.
No trolley dancing here, folks
I like to see that there are compassionate people out here. Yes, I trust that to be the case if someone has to eat or spend money on a trolley they might consider their chances of getting caught and ride without ticket. Maybe one thing could be that if they are on public assistance or getting help to reintegrate and getting jobs that the city will give them a pass, at least until they found work, or give a discounted rate. The trolley fare is actually not high in my opinion. I lived in Europe for many years and in comparison the fare is fair, but low income should get help with it. I can see transportation being a vital issue to finding work, it is hard as it is here in San Diego to get around on public transport only...— July 15, 2014 9:52 a.m.
