Two 19 year old youths have been stabbed in Anaheim in the past few days. One was innocent and the other was supposedly a gang member. Both appear to have been attacked by gang members.
Anaheim’s Latino population blew up this summer when police shot a young man who was fleeing from them. They said he had a weapon but none was found. He appeared to reach into his waistband but perhaps he was pulling up his trousers? Continue reading

After getting thoroughly beat up (quite undeservedly in our opinion) by his City Council over the last few months, Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait is beginning his re-election campaign a bit early it seems with a significant Fundraiser this week. It was also a surprise to see Lucille Kring‘s name on the Host Committee given the hand grenade she left in his lunchbox last week when she stiffed his Assistant out of a raise paycheck.

A message from the City of Anaheim:
Anaheim Fire & Rescue encourages residents to replace the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms this weekend when we set our clocks forward one hour on Sunday, March 10 for Daylight Saving Time.

From The Voice of OC:
During questioning by Orange County Transportation Authority directors Thursday morning, Anaheim City Councilwoman Kris Murray acknowledged what insiders have been saying for months about the city’s planned streetcar project: A major reason for the transit line is to allow expansion of the Disneyland Resort. West Katella Avenue and West Ball Road Ball, which border the park, are “beyond capacity,” Kris Murray said. “If we’re ever going to see a third gate at Disneyland,” she said, “we need to get cars off the road.”

A white girl with impeccable Spanish spoke up. “Bueno, yo pienso que los ilegales no tienen derecho,” she said, “porque nuestros papás pagan impuestos.”
Translation: Illegals have no right to be here because our parents pay taxes. Continue reading
