Speed wasn't a factor? Exactly why was the Mustang trying to pass if not to go faster? Obviously the driver was tailgating and tried to whip around the car to pass, but misjudged when it was safe to cut back into the lane. They ought to be charged with reckless driving, people seriously need to learn to slow down. I don't know how the police can say speed wasn't an issue...

From West to East? Go figure... From rich to poor.

I don't know exactly how far out that place is but I would have figured West Valley's dominos would have been able to deliever there, I use to live pretty far out and they would deliver to me.

"It takes six nuisance complaints in a year or three in six months to shut down an apartment complex. "

Yeah, so keep reporting those crimes Wane, and soon you could have yourself looking for a new place to live. Your current place was only your first choice right?

I totally agree with the idea that it should be the city paying to cover up the tags. If not that, at least don't have the audacity to fine the citizen who is the victim in all of it. It's pretty horrible in my opinion to just kind of shift the problem like this onto people.

Wait a sec... I just noticed something slightly amusing. Notice the "Idiots" with the pointing arrow tagged on the fence? Kudos to the camera guy...

I recognize that wood gazebo, lattice-work behind the fence. This house is directly northeast to my grandfather's home before he passed away. He had a constant problem for the last decade of gang members tagging his fence which sat along a small avenue that leads to the intersection this house sits on.

The problem is that both areas are basically big open spaces, and scream, "Paint me" to any of the thugs. My grandfather would just leave it be until it filled with a bunch of color and nothing that would be painted on it could even be read, and it would stop. You can't do this now of course without it being an eye sore and also being fined by the city. I notice the new owners frequently white wash it every couple of months.

Umm, did YOU not read the article? They're being criticized for not encouraging the students to use it or make them more aware of it, and for opting to use their own internal protocol for it.

Well, it kind of speaks for itself when the headline is "Fewer murders, gunshot victims and shots fired calls"... It's funny how asserting that "It's normally higher!" is somehow something to feel good about.

I still don't see it as right to encourage kids to snitch out their peers for money. It's even worse when they're convinced that it is for "safety" or "for their own good" or something. Hitler youth anyone?

Besides that, we shouldn't be encouraging the kids to put themselves at risk. So let's say Jose sees Kevin selling coke to Steve. Jose rats Kevin out, and gets his CrimeStopper reward; then he shows up at school with some new shoes or a new cell phone or something. Steve and Kevin have already worked out, "Who could have seen us and snitched," and oh guess what, it's Jose and his nice new shoes. Do you really think there won't be repercussions for that? Do you people really want your kids to have to start thinking like confidential informants?

Snitches get stitches. So I don't want my kid to be a snitch. Why don't you do your fucking job and not endanger the kids. To me it's disgusting to even think about using them for this, putting them at risk, when its the adults job to be keeping them safe. Then to hide behind the idea of, "Well, they want to report it, because they feel safer," while in the same breath acknowledging the fact that we're just tempting them with the cash reward. We all know that half of these kids wouldn't dare to put themselves at risk if it weren't for the temptation of money.

Kudos to Davis for not involving our kids in this crap and providing safer, more appropriate means for the students to report crimes. I think it's sick to use the kids as little informants under the guise of making it "safer" for them. All you're doing is convincing children to put themselves at risk for money.
