Life is different Behind the Orange Curtain. Kind of like winding the clock back a few generations.

someone should edit the title of this thread and say 'warning, graphic imagery, may be disturbing, as far as embedding actual pics into this thread vs. being able to click on a link by choice if someone wants to see said pics. I know the topic thread is stated, but it's a news story in the general forum, so it's not customary to post disturbing imagery, in my experience on CD.

Oc and sd are basically the midwest by the sea.

I won't watch the video, but I've heard it described.
I always thought police were meant to serve and protect.
Who were they protecting?

The inmates of Auschwitz, of course! I mean OC.

Cops in orange county can now get away with murder. The verdict was unjust by a HORRIBLE jury. Hopefully the feds can do something about those thug cops. The Thomas family will not give up. Justice was not served.

Good job guy was resisting arrest and was taken into custody without this drug crazed homeless psycho harming any members of the public ? Good job Fullerton Pd.

Why doesn't anyone here take any of the Thomas type people into their own homes if they are so concerned? Because everyone knows Thomas would rob you blind and assault you and your family. People like this need to be in jail or an institution not on the streets. His own family thought he was dangerous and an order of protection against him. So let me know your addresses so I can send all the Thomas types of the OC to your homes

You still don't beat anyone to death.... I Don't know why that is so hard to comprehend.

And you have no idea what it is like to have a serious bi-polar, paranoid schizophrenic in your family... Give it a rest.

Wow, you are completely a cold SOB for lack of a better word. I grew up in Fullerton and hearing the news 2000 miles away and seeing this video absolutely sickens me. How you can equate murder and savage beating with an invitation to take addresses for entry into someone's home is beyond me. Yes, he should have been in an institution if he was not on his meds, but not in a closed casket with his head beaten beyond recognition by the police. Not only does this savage murder sicken me, but your callous comment does as well. The police need to follow the law, not abuse their power for sport. You sound like a biker; just wait until the police abuse their discretion because you don't "fit" the mold of a BMW driving suburban dad (while this might not happen in Phoenix, it sure would in Villa Park or Turtle Rock) and you end up like Kelly Thomas. Thomas was ill, he would not rob, but needed help, and not in the form of a stun gun.
