Parking Fee Changes in Santa Barbara Undergo Deep Review by Finance Committee
Classic. “Deep review” by anything at the City if SB = stalling by tax-payer funded Lego figures that don’t know how to do their jobs. Make a call boys and girls. Then live with it. That’s how real life works. SB City is off the rails…
Suspected DUI Driver Found with Ghost Gun Upon Arrest
If convicted of a felony, no person can obtain a firearm permit, at least in CA. Ghost kits are also illegal. If we were more committed to convicting criminals and locking them up we would be better off. Unfortunately Newsome and company are giving criminals a free pass to avoid jail, and right back into society to commit more crimes. "Reality" good grief.

I am a nut for owning a firearm nor mentioned 'well -regulated militia"? Never said anything about owning military style rifles either? sacjon you are correct - the criminals do obtain the guns illegally. "purchasing in a store"? Not going to happen with the current laws. Stealing from whomever? Again criminal, not legal. It's all about boasting until you witness someone breaking into your house and taking from you, and I a not talking about money or meaningless items. Take a moment to think about that. Civilized Society, wake up.
Op-Ed: SB County Advances on Literacy Reform but California Teachers Union Tanks Statewide Bill
The CTA California Teachers Union is extremely powerful and their interests sadly do not align with meeting the need of our most vulnerable students. If we all focused on student need and test scores we would be able to give these students the interventions they need to be successful. So sad to me how politics and organizations that ought to put vulnerable students needs first simply don't. Speaking out and educating the public on policies that benefit vulnerable students is worthwhile. How have we ever normalized that over half our students can't read proficiently and sadly math is actually worse. The public needs to be engaged because those that fall through the cracks wind up in the criminal justice system because we failed them in their early years. Sad but true.

"Laws do not deter criminals" Absurd. Just drop this stupid line of reasoning, along with your anti-tyranny fantasies. Laws deter many people from committing crimes every day because the vast majority of people prefer not to break them, and until someone breaks a law they are not a criminal. Many of our worst mass murders were committed by someone who did not have a violent criminal record. And if someone does break the law, even violent crimes like domestic abuse, in many cases they can still legally obtain a gun with the full blessing of red-state legislators who kiss the NRA's butt. Many states don't even have laws to prevent these ghost guns and anyone can buy a kit on the internet to make one. We are so far away from having nationwide sensible gun laws that it's literally absurd to complain about it. "Tyranny". Sheezus
Nigerian Educator Dr Leo Igwe: Critical Thinking and Why it Matters in Africa
@coatlique13 Thank you for the kind words. The whole world (including the US) needs more people like Dr Leo Igwe. We all need to ask good questions and consider how we know something is true.

So why have laws?
Suspected DUI Driver Found with Ghost Gun Upon Arrest
Laws do not deter criminals, but guns will often deter a criminal. The second amendment to the Constitution was put in place to protect we citizens from a tyrannical government who will turn 'their' guns on we the citizens of the United States.

I see you follow the usual gun nut guidance to ignore the "well-regulated militia" phrase. Willful ignorance is rampant among firearms fanatics.

Yup, and you don't need military style rifles to ward off an intruder, unless you're planning to take down a pack of ninjas. You're also missing the point about those "illegal users." Most of the time, they obtain those guns that they "illegally use" from lawful sources: purchasing in a store, stealing from a store/home, etc. ANON's point is valid and true, yet sadly unattainable in this country: "more guns mean more deaths, usually for the owners and those around them" Time to reduce the number of guns in circulation and put some common sense rules in place for law abiding citizens.
Frequent Helicopter Circling
When I worked at the airport and they had helicopters out to inspect and repair power lines/poles, there would be at least two noise complaints called in for every one minute the helicopter was in the air. Which is ironic because they were repairing the power infrastructure for the people that were complaining.

I have been around firearms by entire life, and only see issues with those who use them illegally or obtain them illegally. Lawful owners have the right so own them. Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Unless you plan to change the US constitution, ain't going to happen. Thank god.
Assault Near Upper State Street
ANON - that's because, once again, COAST is not telling the truth. Words matter.
Suspected DUI Driver Found with Ghost Gun Upon Arrest
I've been around all kinds of firearms for over 50 years. I know enough not to be infatuated with them. Too many people fetishize them and use them as a power trip for fragile egos. Any objective look at the statistics of gun ownership and prevalence shows that more guns mean more deaths, usually for the owners and those around them. It's time to eliminate them from civilized society.
After a State Audit, County Will Tweak Cannabis Licensing

He is a criminal not a gun worshiper. Become educated about what you don't understand. Spend some time at a shooting sports range. One of the happiest most secure places on earth.

Hi John, is there a way to private message you? Thanks!

On a related note, looks like the Biden Administration is reclassifying cannabis as a drug! Progress is great. I wonder how/if this will affect the local market, but more importantly how it will affect people currently locked up on drug charges!
Real Estate Broker Sentenced for Embezzlement, Faces $2 Million in Fines and Restitution
"Realtors" is a copyrighted name intended to give professional status to a job that is basically designed so the "agent" is around when money changes hands and convinces the parties that s/he deserves an unreasonable payoff for bringing them together. Real estate agents (and escrow officers and title insurance as well) and car dealers and stock brokers and such offer no real service but have wormed into positions to control access and flow. The job is filled with "personalities" but not with honest workers who charge a fee commensurate with the work and costs involved.

That's only because you gun worshippers won't let us pass any meaningful laws to prevent this without breaking down in tears.
