Man suffers fall on Chula Vista trolley platform
suc·cumb (sə-kŭm′) To submit to an overpowering force or yield to an overwhelming desire; give up or give in. To die. succumb (səˈkʌm) vb 1. to give way in face of the overwhelming force (of) or desire (for) 2. to be fatally overwhelmed (by disease, old age, etc); die (of) suc•cumb (səˈkʌm) v.i. 1. to give way to superior force; yield. 2. to yield to disease, wounds, old age, etc.; die. The first definition means to be overwhelmed by force, the second, to die. In this instance, the person was not overwhelmed by force. He fell and hit his head, rendering him unconscious. He did not succumb to his head injury. "Try to find out" is the correct construct, "try and find out" is incorrect. One is either trying or doing. A very simple way of remembering this rule is to use the construct in the past tense: "tried to find out" vs. "tried and find out."— February 4, 2014 4:10 a.m.
Lerach raising Alvarez cash as Tierney runs Faulconer bid

CityBeat reporter deems Dumanis claim "not credible"
But there should be further punishment than just losing her office via an election loss.— January 28, 2014 9:42 a.m.
D.A. Dumanis donor was cocaine felon
Or maybe the campaign cash makes sure that no one looks too closely. Buying influence in this city has become a going business, it seems.— January 28, 2014 9:39 a.m.
Car dealer Marc Chase led swinging, violent lifestyle, suit claims
Not sure what this has to do with money being illegally funneled into a bunch of local campaigns, except to show that we truly have become New Jersey/Las Vegas West. Fun and interesting. Irrelevant, and embarrassing. Most of all terribly sad, and probably avoidable, had not so many Republicans held the reins in San Diego for so many years. It was just a matter of time, with the greed and corruption crowd in power, before this city would be overrun by these types of characters. Miss Bob Filner yet?— January 28, 2014 9:31 a.m.
CityBeat reporter deems Dumanis claim "not credible"
This is exactly the comment I made, and the story I referred to, in your other article attached to the Landsdowne question. Old Bonnie tried to act slick and say she was keeping her distance because it was an independent PAC, what a crock, she had to have known where those thousands of dollars that came pouring in came from. I said that it just goes to show the level of corruption in this city that a third tier progressive rag had to point this out in order to start a FEDERAL investigation, because surely there wasn't going to be a CITY investigation, old Bonnie wasn't going to do it, was she? She could eat her cake and pretend she didn't eat it. Like they say, All fun and games until the police show up. I will say Maass could have inquired about the green card, people do everyday when they are trying to get someone deported. Your Dorian Hargrove or Matt Potter would have gone the extra step, I imagine. Or maybe not, reporters aren't what they used to be.— January 28, 2014 9:07 a.m.
Former SDPD detective wanted Chief Lansdowne out
Pinched this from an NBC7 article: "Dave Maas investigated contributions made by Jose Susumo Azano Matsura to San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis in an article for San Diego City Beat in 2012. It's been reported that this article alerted federal investigators to the case." Just goes to show the absurd level of corruption in this city that a third tier progressive rag had to question contributions to the District Attorney's bid for Mayor, rather than the DA herself, who now conveniently claims that she wanted to keep her distance from the PAC. Really? She wasn't the tiniest bit curious a PAC would appear at the last minute to dump thousands of dollars into her losing campaign? By the way, who should be investigating these PACs and their contributors, if not the DA's office? Because well clearly she wasn't going to, was she?— January 24, 2014 4:57 p.m.

The only person they even suggested may have been involved in a quid pro quo was Bob Filner, but if they had anything on him they wouldn't have stopped the investigation until they had him in handcuffs. The fact that they are arresting people at this point is because they are at the end of the trail, in my opinion. Nah, you can bet not one politician is going down.— January 24, 2014 4:53 p.m.

Yep, and if you look at his Facebook page, you will see pics of them posted as children together, his whole FB friends page is replete with Inzunzas. Anyway, that wasn't my point. The point is, no politician is going down for this. So apart from the entertainment value, what's the difference?— January 24, 2014 12:08 p.m.
