apparently he was shot in the back. news to me also is the fact that on a normal day, vallejo has only six officers on shift. i used to live in vallejo, without pulling up census data, i would assume there to be roughly 140,000 to 150,000 people living in that city. do the math. vallejo went bankrupt not too long ago also, which probably laid off some police/fire personell. sucks all the way around jack.

Seen way to much of parents, many on drugs, who cheer this sort of existence on for their kids.

Gotta have a license to drive a car, but breeding? Nothing. Not that anything will change that, but it stands that there are way too many people having kids that have no ability or interest in raising them. So the prison system ends up being Daddy.
