If you get shot in the leg, twice, but won’t cooperate with police about why you got shot, where you were when you got shot, or who shot you, you have bigger problems than being shot? That’s not good: 31st Av/California St NE: Officers responded to North Memorial Hospital in early morning hours to gunshot [...]
This sounds like a case of “just following orders” but clearly the order need to be changed. A family who’s house was destroyed this week in the fires near San Diego, California is being charged by AT&T for the loss of their satellite dish receiver.

I noticed an up-tick in Sureno 13 Google search referrals after the Gang Activity in Longfellow Park post went live.
