Unless he is from out of town, someone must recoginize this man and his dog.  Time to report him.  I was wondering why it takes so long for survellience photos to be made public.  This is not the first case that was months ago.  Does anyone know the process of getting them published?

Who was the truck registered to?

~~ My daughters 2 best friends were hit while walking in a crosswalk next to the library in front of their highschool last week.

The young man suffered multiple injuries (thank gawd he will recover 100%) as he took the direct hit, the young lady was nicked in the back by the rear view mirror and has alot of lower back pain, These were teenagers, and some idiot in a truck HIT them, and left them laying there...

I just cant fathom hitting ANYONE, and not rushing to their side to provide immediate medical care, and call 911 ...amazing!

Thank goodness that a witness got a partial plate and pretty good description of the vehicle, it will be a good day when this coward is brought to justice, as well as the one in the article above!

Dang.  Another scoop from the "Breaking News Team".  The accident happened 3 months ago and now this is "breaking"?

Apparently the police have hit a dead end with the investigation and are now asking for the public's help.

I  can not imagine driving off after hitting someone. I'll never forget riding my bike down the street and a lady backing out of her own driveway knocking me down and then speeding off in horror. Her own driveway. I had learned by then to be wary of  drivers in "cages" and had slowed down otherwise worse that a few cuts and bruises would have occur ed.

 I hope someone recognizes this person and does the right thing.

The press release from the BPD is dated today.  BNT could not have included it in their blog any sooner than they did.   Nancy asks a valid question.   Who was the truck registered to?

From the looks of him, you can probably find him somewhere between Airport Dr. and Chester Ave.

Whats that suppose to mean??

the 'dale is always getting bagged-on  ~~ i would rather live in my beautiful oildale home than on Ming Avenue/New Stine Area !

ITS A know FACT MOST LOSERS AND DRUGYS COME FROM OILDALE

Oildale has to be the dirtiest placein bakersfield

godson must not have ever been to the midwest...most of the midwest looks exactly like Oildale

btw...there are some parts of the southeast side of Bako that makes Oildale look like a COUNTRY CLUB full of tweekers

At least in oildale you can walk down the street and not get shot in the head by a roach gangbanger on crack!

Godson....your a loser did you come from oildale?

Godson,  Your wrong your mouth is the dirtiest place in Bakersfield!

At least in Oildale you can walk down the street with no shoes and no teeth!

One of the cool things about Oildale is the open streets and low traffic volume.  Well, except for Airport Drive during rush hour.

I moved here from the neighborhood of California and Stockdale Highway...imagine the difference.  We have Vonss, 2 RiteAids and a wide assortment of fast food.  Not to mention 2 Mexican restaurants several coffee shops several bars, low crime rate in spite of it's rep, and again....very little traffic.

And easy access to Meth!  YOU are in Heaven!

not quite heaven, but the tweekers are entertaining at times.

i went from a town with only 2 stoplights (too small)  to living off of California and Stockdale (hey Nancy, maybe we were once neighbors over there too!), and ended up in NOR.  it's suits me just right for me right now.  haters can bug off

LOL..good comeback msenilyh.

As for easy access to meth?  I could have gotten that from my neighbor in park Stockdale.  They seemed to have been doing a thriving business.

I like the 'dale...

I used to love going to the fast food joint at Roberts and No. Chester and ordering the "Heart Clogging Burger and Fries".

And shopping for my wife on special occasions was always so easy in the 'dale. Her birthday, Christmas, or our anniversary. I just pulled into the donut place at Roberts and Airport and bought her one of the cool rugs or flags displayed in the parking lot. You can't go wrong buying your Mrs. a Dale Earnhart flag, an Elvis Presley throw rug, or a nice tapestry of a unicorn.

lol@ the rugs and tapestries

"blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused"

Ah yes, TWO donut shops. 4 independant fast food burger joints. Several Mexican drive ins, 2 Subways, Sonic where all the cools cars are on Fri nites, Wendys, Taco Bell, Weiner Schnitzel, McDonalds, KFC.  Just across the freeway is another Taco Bell, Burger King, Quiznos, Starbucks and Jack.   What else do you want?  How many arteries can we clog?

Wait, why is it that I, a conservative hater, am the one with the positive statements?

Nancy, you forgot the tatoo place on North Chester....

Sorry Check, I don't do tats so they aren't on my shopping tour.

Dont forget Trouts!  Where the whole bar combined equals one set of rotten teeth!

Dodger, careful with the stereotypes.  Trouts is the last of the country nightclubs and isn't isn the same class as say, The Longbranch or Rockets and Sprockets which by the way, sounded a lot better when it was The Skylark.

As for Trouts, people of all walks of life go there on the weekends.  Except me that is.

I've seen Mate hanging out at the Buckhorn !

--virgil

The Buckhorn isn't in Oildale,  It's in the 01 zip.  The Dale starts at the bridge.

He's the one I saw ( i'm sure of it )  looking underneath the edge of the pool table, and that of the bar, too.  I really couldn't say why, but it was a curious sight .

--virgil

You need to stay out of bars like that virgil, being a family man and all.  Save the booze money for groceries.

Are you saying the Cottonwood area, Real road area and most of E. Bakersfield are nicer than Oildale? You must be doin' crack.

Nancy, since virgil doesn't actually live here in town he wouldn't know the Buckhorn is located on 34th St.

And virgil, what do you know about the game of pool?

However, I'm sure you are an expert at pocket pool...

I would have to disagree with the real rd. area being bad. Other than that cottonwood and oildale to me are like the same. Ghetto!

In oildale you don't get shot at, you get stabbed instead by the peckerwood gangs that are high on meth.

I don't know how bad Oildale is now or if it has gotten better, but last time i was on that side of town my friend got robbed and then stabbed by some teens near a fast food joint, but then again that was about 5 years ago.

But also i have to admit that there are some areas in oildale that are really, really nice, so i couldn't say all of oildale is ghetto because its actually not.

 I lived by North High for years it was really nice. I have friends and family that still live there. They have nice places and decent neighbors.

I wouldn't want to walk down by Plymouth dr area any evening.

Not out of fear it's because seeing some of the ghost white, skinny, little, scab covered, shaky, screwed up, pukes carrying 2 in blades are so pathetic  I might laugh myself to death.

Every neighborhood has it's trash. But people who group everyone in an area as "bad" because of a few creeps is as lame brain as it gets.

All you haters and fight pickers need to go blow it out your.....

what the hell? this is too funny!

i invite EVERYONE to visit oildale tomorrow night, bring your baby goblins !  come over to Day Road and McCray area, $300,000 homes ~~~~~~~~~ OR  up north of Merle Haggard/7th Standard Road by the Water District, OR over by Highland Elementary School in the BEAUTIFUL homes there .... LORD ! People!

i have lived in over 10 areas of Bako-ville, some wonderful (at the time,and top-notch) and some low life scum, some High-Living Areas...i have NOW lived in a nice section of Oildale for 5 years, and (yes, i have been robbed once by a stoopid ass tweaker, grabbed good stuff from my garage) but i have NEVER EVER feared for my life here ! Ever, IF something weird and freaky were to happen to someone 'here' , it is because of being somewhere STUPID at a dumbass time, for a weird reason!  LIKE IN ANY AREA OF TOWN  !!!!!!!!!!!!

i HATE tweakers, more than anyone!  and i have not ever 'seen' a bunch of tweakers hanging around to STAB anyone! LOL

dumb! 

Okay, I have to speak on this matter or the current discussion. The wonderful part of Bakersfield, is the diverse areas that make up this wonderful place we call HOME! Yes, there are bad areas in Bakersfield, although they're not generally one area. There are drugs in every part of this town....From east, west, north and south. It just depends what kind of drugs you can get in the different areas. Yes oildale is popular for meth, although southwest is popular for cocaine, E, and G (a similar drug to E). This all depends on how my\uch you want to spend.

My theory to this my neighborhood is better than yours is very much undisputable. There are peices of crap in every neighborhood. In these neighborhoods are people that were created by our creator. He made these people and regardless of their mistakes in life or the size of their pocket book, he does not judge. He does not call the people he created roaches.

So before you start calling people roaches LANABUFORD, maybe you should consider the demeaning manner that you judge everyone. This is for everyone that judges.

LANABUFORD and you are a mother....WOW!! I hope that your child doesn't marry a roach!! KARMA's a BITCH!!

Sitbackandlisten,    I called someone a roach?  so you think that calling someone a roach is worse then calling someones 14 yr old daughter a tramp or  whore? Get real!     Go preach your crap to someone else.  BTW one of my girls did get with a roach.... I think I still have some of his little bug guts on the bottom of my shoe! 

 So sitback, how much do you spend on your trashy drugs each week?

You sound like an expert.

People make THEMSELVES what they are.

Trashy ROACHES live in every State, city and neighborhood we all know that.

Your argument for not judging flew out your cardboard window when you attacked another blogger.

You sound pretty grumpy.

I think it's time you go to one of  your well known neighborhoods and get your drug fix then sit and rock yourself in a cold corner.
