2/16 more disturbing than the other la story:

\_ Yeah. And the California politicians are trying to get
handguns out of the hands of private citizens so THESE
bozos can protect us (!?). "Uh, I dunno, I just shot him."
Apparently one needs a gun not only to protect oneself
from the criminals, but from the police as well. -- ilyas
\_ Thank you for another impecably reasoned post, ilyas! You
\_ Thank you for another impeccably reasoned post, ilyas! You
are an inspiration, an example for the rest of of us
\_ It's 'impeccably,' my illiterate, cowardly friend.
At any rate, feel free to trust the police and the
government if you wish. I am sure they have your best
interests at heart. -- ilyas
motd slobs to aspire to! Thank you! -- ilyas' #2 fan
\_ This is all libertarian propoganda from the anti-police LA media.
You don't seriously believe the LA Times can get a story like this
right, do you? --long time LA resident and LA Times reader
\_ ignore paolo. he knows nothing about anything, yet
jumps at any chance to display his ignorance.
\_ It says that you *DELIBERATELY CHOOSE* not to live in a
crime-free, corruption-free, pollution-free, traffic-jam-
free ecotopia like the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area!
So you must be brain-dead and you deserve every bad thing
you get, you yuppie-scum, urban-sprawling, single-
occupant-vehicle-driving Southern Californian, you!
\_ traffic-jam-free? Has the Bay Area changed that much
since I was at Cal? -emin
\_ That was sarcasm and deserved paolo bashing.
\_ wow paolo, you almost managed to eke out a tiny and entirely
personal attack which completely ignored my point about the
trash that is the LA Times. Come back when you have mastered
something beyond the "sticks and stones".
\_ I wouldn't trust the police if I were you. The police is not
your friend. -- !sky
\_ Sky? Is that you? I thought you were in Europe with the
guys you met in prison?
\_ the fact that you choose to live in LA speaks alot about
yourself. -paolo
\_ It does? What does it say? --dim (also LA resident)
\_ It says paolo is the kind of person who says "alot".
\_ But whatever its faults, the LA Times still beats out the
SF Comical. The only time I was ever thankful for the
Chron/Ex combination was during the two summers I lived in
New Mexico and my only choice of paper was the *Albuquerque
Journal* (which consisted entirely of AP/Reuters pieces and
"local color" articles -- "This Sunday: 10,000 More Things
You Can Do With Chili Peppers!")
and other lesser places. Other local pieces focus
\_ I cancelled my Comical subscription years ago. They
dump a free one on my door every time the delivery
guy changes and the paper never gets any paper. It
isn't much different from the Albuquerque Journal.
The Comical is AP/Reuters pieces shredded to fit
and local color articles about how SF is the
greatest city in the world (according to local
pollsters :-) ) and much better than NYC, SJ, LA,
and other lesser places.
\_ but they're right on that one.
Other local pieces focus
on the politcally correct and evils of the center
and right wing. I'd rather read about chili peppers.
At least that would be informative. Does the AJ
deliver out here? :-) |
