Man standing in line Fires Gun Outside Hill Top Mall in Richmond California

Shopping malls all over the country are being flooded with people trying to get their last minute Christmas shopping done. Some people are not in the happy Christmas spirit. In Richmond California on December 23rd at the Hill Top Mall hundreds of people were lined up to buy the limited-edition Nike Air Jordan Retro Concord shoes. Some 24 year old idiot for reasons not yet known decided to fire a gun that was in his pocket. I’m wondering what in the world would posse someone to do something so crazy, is this shoe worth risking lives for. I don’t think so! Well now this 24 year old idiot will spend Christmas in jail eating a government cheese sandwich, that’s what he gets for being so darn stupid.

OAKLAND COULD BE THE FIRST CITY TO MARIJUANA GROWING OPERATIONS




I have been saying they need to legalize Marijuana for years. All the illegal Marijuana operations that have been raided and all that Marijuana being burned, It does not make since, that billions of dollars is going up in smoke. On July 12, 2010 police raided a Marijuana growing operation in San Francisco and Richmond California. This bust is said to have a street value of  about $350,000.


This country is hurting  financially I think Oakland has the right idea.
If Oakland’s council votes this through this would mean jobs, that are so badly needed. I don’t think the illegal pot growers should benefit anymore, it’s about time to legalize Marijuana just like they did alcohol 1933. I think the powers to be, the Government need to get the stick out of their A.. and legalize Marijuana.

CHRISTMAS IN RICHMOND

CHRISTMAS IN RICHMOND

Richmond is a city that always gets a bad rap, because of all the violence.  Burgundie Spears changed that at Christmas time. A graduate of Howard University in Washington D.C., she came up with the idea “Christmas in Richmond” this is the fourth year. Richmond residents receive clothing, meals and gifts on Christmas Day. It doesn’t stop there, twenty five families were adopted, they will have meals and gifts donated to them. That’s not all Meals on Wheels will be dropping off meals to seniors. I think Burgundie Spears had a great idea, for helping out the City of Richmond. It takes  just one person with a good idea to help people in need around the holidays. Let all of us, that have a little more then others learn from Ms. Spears and continue helping people all year round.

GANG KILLINGS ON THE RISE IN SMALL TOWN

GANG KILLINGS ON THE RISE IN SMALL TOWN It’s a shame that a town the size of Salinas Ca. with a population of 90,000 or more has 20 killings already and the year isn’t over. What are these gangs trying to beat? There record of 25 killings in 2008? Salinas needs to come up with several ways to slow down these gangs, before there up there with Richmond Ca., Oakland Ca. and Compton Ca. in homicides do to gang violence. This gang violence is out hand, I feel that if it gets worse businesses are going leave. Then what? http://www.thecalifornian.com/article/20090806/NEWS01/908060305/1002/NEWS01/Salinas-led-state-in-percentage-of-gang-linked-killings http://www.thecalifornian.com/article/20090807/NEWS01/908070304/1002/Slayings-continue-in-Salinas--teenager-is-city-s-21st-homicide-victim-of-the-year http://www.thecalifornian.com/article/20090807/NEWS01/908070302/1002/Arraignment-delayed-for-Salinas-homicide-suspects Lynn
