Another career criminal headed back to prison....

Another $36,000 a year...

What about the rest of the gang members?  What happened to them?

And I like the part about them being "gang members", rather than "suspected gang members".

popeye, do you happen to know about the gang member database that the police and sheriff use every day? It has documented gang members and their associates, so they aren't always "suspected" gang members.

You have shown your ignorance, once again.

Well let's see here...I am neither a police officer nor a sheriff.  I don't work in any form of law enforcement.  (Really it would be a pay cut for me if I did so.) So, no, I did not know about the database.  But, since I have this handy little contraption, I am now informed about the CAL/GANG database, if that is what you are referring to.  Can't access it of course, but I know about it now.

As for the comment I made earlier, I was simply amused at the statement. That is all.  No muss, no fuss, no radical transcendental theory as to the reasoning.  Just funny.

So, since the definition of ignorance is lack of knowledge or information, I guess I'm not ignorant to that fact any longer.

BTW, know where I can pick up an ALRQ-45??

I know where, but youll have to get from a suspected gang member. J/K

See popeye, you learned something today. Maybe next time you won't make a stupid comment without knowing what you are talking about. But I doubt it.

So you would take a pay cut being in LE huh? I'm not surprised with that at all. That is assuming you even work.

But can you retire at age 50 and still make over $100k a year, for the rest of your life, and stay home and blog to your hearts content? 

WOW, denigrating sarcasm, they teach you that at the academy? Or is it the old-fartism? Maybe you need some more Metimucil??

There is a lot more for me to learn, but I do know a whole hell of lot to begin with. (For example: Tested 140+ IQ,  1480 SAT in 1986 (800'd the vocab section), 97.5 on the ASVAB, 95% at Military Aviation Electronics School, oh yeah, took the California Correctional Officer test that they gave you 2 hours to finish...done in less than 45 minutes and scored high 90's on it, didn't make it due to my eyesight at the time...so yeah, I'm smart!!!)  

With one caveat, I have to have an interest in it.  Now give me a minute (not a literal term), if it interests me, I can find out almost everything about a subject. 

Yes I do work. At a real job, With a real paycheck. A rather large paycheck, thank you very much. And don't get me started on my inheritance, $100k will (key word "will", not "now") be couch change.

As I said before, it was funny to me.  I guess being an LE, you have lost any sense of humor that you may have had before you became one. Therefore anything that would remotely be funny to one is an "ignorant stupid comment" to you.

So my final remark to you would be.....

LAUGH AND HAVE FUN, AIN'T THAT WHAT'S RETIREMENT'S FOR?????? 

Don't bank too much on that inheritance, PopeyesWorld. With that attitude your parents might leave everything to the dog. Seems like you feel the need to prove yourself ... what's up with all the stats?

There were two guys in my senior class who scored 1600 on the SAT and had virtually no social skills.  One went on to MIT and the other I didn't keep in touch with. But one thing I know for certain is that they wouldn't be blogging about their test scores!!

OB has a sense of humor; read some of his responses to Timec.

Many of those who try to become corrections officers do so because the PD, Sheriff's Dept., or CHP doesn't want them.

I'm with JBS on this one. OB has a sense of humor and keeps me laughing darn near daily. Two and three times at that.

I am so sick of all these friggin gang members...why don't they lock them all up in one central prison with all the weapons that have been confiscated from them and let them go at it.  Thirty nine years old...I am 39 and surely cannot see myself acting so flipping seventh grade!!!  This punk should go down because he is probably someone's mentor...maybe the little jerks who beat the old man.....

Stats? hmmmm. My daughter had an IQ of 145+ ....................in the 3rd grade, she's 42 now with 3 degrees and is a stay at home mom.

My brothers IQ went off the charts. He also had a photographic memory. Nobody knew what to do with him - even the mentally gifted classes were boring to him. He taught himself music, played the piano, the flute, and three saxophones. All those smarts and he didn't have sense enough to stay away from drugs and alcohol. He's dead.

There are smarts and then there is common sense. For some reason the two do not seem to mesh.

Witters-I totally agree with your last sentence.  Common sense and smarts don't 'mesh'.  I know some very intelligent people with NO common sense at all!!

Witters, I had a neighbor named Warren in San Diego who could score 150 on an IQ test, but he was, er, eccentric. He would occasionally wear panty hose with his shorts, and once had the police called on him for walking down the street one afternoon talking to a meat cleaver.  

Then, of course, there's Poindexter, whose IQ was 222. I once told my girlfriend that we were going to name our son Poindexter. Her reply: "Oh no we're not!"

Mr. Sage used to live up in that neck of the woods.One morning, after he moved back in with me( Oleander-Beale Park area),he heard a mocking bird and was startled ...used to hearing gun shots,not birds.

Whew, all kinds of stuff, lol.

lana: Exactly, thank you very much, no more need be said!!!! Insulting is not funny.  Old-fartism is!

vanity:  Thank goodness there's no dog, lol.  He threw the money and job thing out there first, lol. As for the stats, it's to let OB know I'm not some numb-skull, ghetto bum.  I know about those smart one's that aren't social, but I am VERY social, lol. 

jbs:  Yep, I see him and timec go at it. He is funny at times when he's not insulting.  As for Corrections, at the time they were hiring, their vision was the only one I could pass, then it got changed where I couldn't pass.  Now, it has changed back to where I could get in.  I was interested in the others at the time...damn eyes, lol.

witters:  My daughter was the same in school.  She'd 18 now going into the Navy. Want's to see the world, then school.  Very sorry to hear about your brother.  I agree with you about smarts and common sense.  Lucky I got both...for the most part.  

meandpete:  I thought the very same thing about the battle royale in one prison a long time ago...the problem is, they would all chicken out because there's no element of surprise, lol. Also, gotta love the system that gives prisoners more rights than the regular citizen.

 I guess I will defend OB .....he is a pretty funny guy......no I change my mind ...he is a j***!

Popeye be sure to eat your spinach when dealing with OB...he plays rough...

Oh come on timec, I'm a lover, not a fighter....
