Tough to be a drunk in El Cajon
It's already illegal to sell to minors. As far as "alcoholics", what is the precise legal definition and standard of proof used to determine who's an "alcoholic"? This sounds a little bit like the people calling for psychiatric evaluations to buy guns, so they can then say that wanting a gun is a mental illness that should preclude you from buying one. I'm VERY leery of anything that lets government decide what otherwise-legal product can or should be sold to whom and when. A competent adult should be free to buy any legal product any time, anywhere. If someone gets drunk and commits a crime, arrest them. If someone is "too drunk" to buy more booze, and bar or store owner now can (and will, in our litigious society) decline to sell them more. But now we're going to identify individuals who aren't allowed to buy alcohol even if they're perfectly coherent right now? What else can or should be denied to them? Can we say they aren't allowed to buy a car? A pack of cigarettes? McDonalds? Maybe tomorrow you're "too fat" to be allowed to eat anything other than a salad. Beware the law of unintended consequences... the powers you cheer and applaud today WILL be used against you tomorrow.— December 11, 2015 11:13 a.m.
Check 'n Go checks out of North Park
To use a pawn shop, you have to own something worth pawning and be prepared to accept a fraction of it's value.— December 9, 2015 12:30 p.m.
Developer's traffic study challenged
It's REALLY tough for me to see how 26 more houses off of a street that services hundreds could make any real difference. And even if you get delayed by another minute, don't worry, the traffic on the 8 will still be waiting for you. Now, if this was 260 houses, I could see the point. But this is much ado about nothing. However, so long as we're in a "severe drought" where we're supposed to be showering with buckets and letting our yards die, there should be no building permits being issued for new construction. Secure new water supplies first, then accommodate newcomers.— December 8, 2015 8:16 a.m.
San Diego deputies "obviously intoxicated"
What happens when someone with Parkinson's or ALS is told they can't buy booze? Lawsuit?!?!— December 8, 2015 8:05 a.m.
Emergency memo warns of library security breaches
We should be requiring patrons to show a library card to enter. There is no value in allowing drunk, crazy, stinking bums into a library.— December 4, 2015 8:12 a.m.
Why you guys spray-painting that house?
What did that idiot think was going to happen? If I see taggers or other miscreants, I call the police. They're paid to deal with lowlives. I'm not.— December 4, 2015 8:10 a.m.
14% alcohol in a can? That's Loko
Good Lord. Don't like that crap? Don't drink it. Problem solved. Someone else does? Let them drink it and worry about the consequences.— December 4, 2015 8:08 a.m.
MiraCosta's Oceanside campus hit with racist graffiti
If there are job openings for whiners, these kids are a shoo-in for the spot. Seriously, crying over the chalk scribblings of some moron???— December 3, 2015 2:42 p.m.
City moves closer to plastic bag ban
This isn't about "the environment", this is about collecting all of those dimes and handing them out to unions and contributors. When plastic bags are banned, I'll just get a big box of brand-new ones from Arizona or something and keep on using them. Gotta have something to pick up dog poop with!— December 2, 2015 9:55 a.m.
Mexican-Americanized is close enough
Your writers can write f-u-c-k in the articles but that can't even be quoted in the comments? Lame.— December 1, 2015 8:08 a.m.
