    • Why do you put his name in quotes? Do you think it’s not really his name? Why?

      Of course he went to jail. Did you even read the article? It says he did.

      Look, the constant crying about CA is exhausting. Nothing is forcing you folks to live here. Why torment yourself AND pay ridiculous prices for housing, etc? If I hated a place so much that all my comments were about how bad it was, guess what I would do? Move.
