Stepson falls close to Wilson's tree

Charles La Bella honored by trial lawyers
I worked with trial lawyers most of my adult life as a private investigator specializing in homicide, which tended to be the most difficult trials and attracted the best litigators, defense and prosecution. I worked for dozens of them through the years, men and women, and came to know many more. The trial lawyers are like the surgeons in medicine, the special breed. High stakes work with potential catastrophic outcomes. Clients could lose everything including their lives. I also worked with many doctors on the death penalty cases, we always hired at least 2 of them. These doctors tended to be professional witnesses not always having active practices because if they were good they had to be on the road a lot. Just a note to comment above about ethical representation. Between the attorneys and the doctors there was no contest here. I would trust the lawyers much more. Ethics mattered because if they really crossed the line they could lose their ticket to practice. Doctors were practically invulnerable there so they didn't always worry about ethics that much, as long as the check cashed. I'm not alleging they were criminal doctors. They were just much less attentive to ethics because most of them had no ethical training in medical school. Attorneys did. Just one of those urban legends that is not true. Lawyers were much more worried about being brought up before the bar and getting disbarred because they had opponents watching who wouldn't stand to be cheated. Medicine isn't like that. Just my personal experience, I'n not claiming that is how the whole world operates. But it was clear to me.— March 19, 2018 10 p.m.
Airbnb forcing you out?
the capitalist system and modern technology will solve most problems? Anybody remember the Civil War? The steam engine was taking over the world and we still had 4 million people in chains. That was the planters solution to not having enough money. Worked out great for them. Not so much for the slaves.— March 7, 2018 2:39 p.m.
Clean up after your dog!
I guess if you have enough money you can pay to have everything done for you. Ok if you can afford it.— March 7, 2018 2:32 p.m.
Trash talk (and arrest) in Cardiff
I assume I am not the only one that suspects a mental health issue here. Hoarding is a definite symptom and actionable because it does create health hazards. The City or County can act in those circumstances and yes, they need evidence. If the people complaining are telling the truth, it would appear that evidence is simply pointing your cell phone with the camera function engaged. We just had one taken away after months. Maximum sentences for the mentally ill isn't the solution. Medical care by competent professionals should at least be attempted before we put her in the stocks.— February 23, 2018 3:33 p.m.
Pacific Beach's high crime problem
Let's be honest with ourselves. The aging baby boomers want everything to be just so. I suspect the average age in some of these zip codes is quite young, in fact I buy my groceries in PB and I know there are a lot of youngsters walking the streets and cruising the beach area. I did when I was in my 20's and full of whatever people in their 20's are full of. That is not to say these acts are of no consequence, they matter because someone got hurt some how or way and that always matters. Does it require a drag net law enforcement response to keep the barbarians at the gates? Hardly. Some of this stuff will only go away with time and age. When PB stops being the place to go for entertainment and companionship for that age group this stuff will go with it . I suspect some of this is also related to homelessness. Desperate people tend to do desperate things. There is a homeless issue that is visible in PB and that is relatively new. It used to be small enough to not see it. Not any more. When you can outlaw youth you can make this go away by statute. That doesn't mean we can't encourage responsible behavior and insist that merchants behave in a manner consistent with the public good. When bartenders send customers out the door stumbling drunk, there's a problem that needs to be addressed. Boozed up 20 somethings will never disappear though. It is the nature of the beast. Make it easy to get sober rides home and reasonable response times to crimes of violence. Get help to the people that need it and we have resources for. Then live your lives. We've got a good thing going here in San Diego. Let's not turn it into an old people's retirement community that rolls up the side walks at sunset. If that's your deal I recommend Florida. We do things differently here.— February 12, 2018 11:06 p.m.
Reefer mathematics in San Ysidro
I just got tax dosed in Pt Loma at the Golden whatever. To get the county card they make it hard, in fact it is kind of like asking someone on crutches to run the hurdles. Some of us with the medical cards really need the stuff. I"m a vet with PTSD and this is the only medication I've used that works long term and doesn't hook you. I'm now paying a lot more in taxes and have to make multiple trips and applications to get a card saying I'm disabled. Maybe the county could lend a hand to those of us who are really need this stuff and have physical disabilities that make travel tough. We definitely need more Republicans on the County Board of Supervisors. Thanks for thinking of us guys. And gals. I actually called mine a month a go and never heard back. I guess he's too busy to help a constituent. I am a registered voter though, and I'll remember in November. You guys just raised taxes on poor people in medical distress. Way to go.— January 30, 2018 8:33 p.m.
PG&E funds Atkins Torrey Pines golf blowout
Atkins supported a bill to restrict college kids free speech rights for a foreign country. Why would we be surprised she supports a billion dollar utility against the interests of her constituents? She's California's hillary, apparently.— January 21, 2018 7:07 p.m.
Do you really aspire to live in Rancho Santa Fe?
I'm not sure what makes this community any different from La Jolla or any other overpriced real estate in any location. The wealthy have been isolating themselves from the not so rich since we started losing our body hair. Maybe it is difficult to look someone in the eye that you just made life much harder for.— January 8, 2018 12:59 p.m.
