Historic value of O.B. kit home debated
If only they would do that. You’re right, everyone wins! The trouble is NONE of these people will do it. They are not interested in spending their own money. But they have no problem dictating, suggesting, or labeling a dilapidated structure, owned by a private person, as some type of historical artifact. It’s total BS.— November 8, 2017 6:43 a.m.
Fled from cops, crashed, died, girlfriend survived
Is it unreasonable to expect Flores to stop his motorcycle to a lawful action by police. No, in this case Sanchez and her attorney want you to believe they had a right to drive through a red light, drive for miles at high speed through residential, and freeway roadways all the while ignoring the cops red lights and sirens. Driving and using public roadways is a privilege, not a right! Pulling over to a lawful stop when police officers display a red light is a requirement of the privilege. Besides killing himself, Flores endangered and then injured his girlfriend. What this story doesn't tell us is why Flores was fleeing the police. Was he wanted for another crime? Was he licensed? Did he carry insurance? Or was it worse? There is no doubt he was an arrogant ass who believed he was indestructible and could outrun the police on his crotch rocket? Did he even care about the safety of his passenger? Of course not. Had he cared for his girlfriend he would not have jeopardized her safety, nor put others at risk too. Some may argue the cops should have discontinued the pursuit. That's a false argument which would only lead to chaos. If we are unwilling to enforce our laws where does it stop? Finally, I suspect Sanchez is looking for the deep pocket payday. I have no doubt her attorney thinks this way too. Taking no responsibility for her own choices in life, she wants the taxpayers to make her whole and support her. I pray a jury will not penalize the taxpayers for the arrogant and irresponsible actions of a thug.— November 8, 2017 5:35 a.m.
Historic value of O.B. kit home debated
Sad when marketing material, not design, events, ownership nor condition is used to determine historical significance. And in this example, a "kit" home. Whatever happened to private property rights? If organizations such as SOHO, the City or whomever believe there is some justifiable historical significance then they should buy it, paying fair market value for the property and maintain it in perpetuity. Instead, these self titled elites dictate what others can do or not do while having no skin in the game themselves. The arrogance is overwhelming. I am all for preserving true historical structures, monuments and artifacts. This is especially true considering today's "politically correct mentalities"of revision to history, but considering there are many examples of craftsman type bungalows, in much better and restored condition in Ocean Beach this one should go. Remember it's true kit nature was destroyed years ago so it really just an aged deteriorating shell.— November 8, 2017 4:50 a.m.
Dead dad's Social Security benefits bilked
Ponzi: Thanks for the info. The story is unclear about where Perez's father died. For example, let's say he died in Mexico, then I can understand how this would have been purposely perpetrated by Perez. If that was/is the case then a year and a day sentence is much to lenient. Any clarification Don?— November 8, 2017 4:08 a.m.
Dead dad's Social Security benefits bilked
I thought Social Security checks were direct deposit now-a-days. In addition you’d think their would be some sort of coordination between the County, who issues death certificates and the Federal government who pays the benefit. How hard could it be to share a SSN between them and prevent fraud? Then again, a crook is crook, even when stealing your deceased father’s benefit. Any word on the number of years involved in this swindle?— November 7, 2017 2:12 p.m.
El Cajon councilman allegedly framed by dirty tricks
So this idiot wants us to believe he leaves his home WiFi wide open and unprotected so anyone can do anything with his IP address. He also suggests as a city councilman anyone has access to his city computer and or his city account. I’m not sure which is worse, his total incompetence when it comes to securing his home, or if true, the city of El Cajon not securing his internet access.— November 6, 2017 6:49 p.m.
Dad embezzled $275,000 from Disney ship
The Disney Wonder is registered in the Bahamas 🇧🇸. In the case of a crime occurring in International waters: “Once a ship is 24 miles from any coastline, it's on the high seas (or international waters). With the exception of certain rights within the contiguous zone, the law of that ship is the law of the country whose flag it's flying. So, a ship registered in the [Bahamas] that's 25 miles off the coast of California isn't subject to U.S. law; it's subject to the laws of the [Bahamas].” It worth noting many crimes go unprosecuted for this very reason, murkiness and jurisdictional conflicts. Maybe Gomes is smarter than we realize.— October 31, 2017 5:04 p.m.
Dad embezzled $275,000 from Disney ship
I’d say it gives a new meaning to the phrase Apple-of-my-eye.— October 31, 2017 4:51 p.m.
Dad embezzled $275,000 from Disney ship
As young man in the early 80s I inherited 2000 shares of Apple which were not all that valuable. Today they would be worth over $2.5M ....now that’s to weep over. I understand your pain.— October 31, 2017 12:51 p.m.
Dad embezzled $275,000 from Disney ship
No, he was Daffy to think he could get away it. Daffy’s cousin Donald, snitched him off to Walt and the crew.— October 31, 2017 9:18 a.m.
