If you had a dog in your family for 9 years and a policeman shot it when it was doing nothing wrong, what would you do? Do you think the cheif of police has any buisness shooting animals? He was trying to send a message to the community, I think he sent  the wrong message...The sad thing is he might get away with this! PG&E, bad cops when do we or how do we stick up for ourselves? Wake Up Bakersfield!

On Sept. 8,2009 maricopa police chief Glen Fertheim shot Steve and Lisa Milne's dog in their back yard in cold blood. The couple heard gun shots in their yard and quickly went to see what was going on, they noticed the chief standing over their beloved family pet for 9 years. Lisa asked the chief why he did that and he replied "it was a pitbull, what do you expect?" The family was sad that the person who was suppost to protect them just shot their dog. Btw, the dog was a pitbull mix and was so old she had few teeth and had never harmed a fly. The chief of police is still on active duty and has received no dicipline for his actions. What do people do about this and do cops have the right to do as they please and answer to no one? In my opinion this makes all of our police look bad, in my opinion the BPD, TaftPD or the K.C.S.D should step in and take care of their own! And if I were Glen the chief I would resign and tuck my tail between my legs and run back to the L.A.P.D where I came from! WAKE UP Bakersfield!

My wife and I went to the fair on saturday night for a date, I wanted to be a tough guy and win my wife a stuffed animal. I went to the booth where you pop the balloons with the dart and I bought $10.00 worth. I popped balloons with all of my darts and the guy handed me a small stuffed animal. Well, being the ego maniac I am I said what do I have to do to win the big one? He said buy $20 more, pop all the balloons and you win! So I did, my mistake was handing the guy a $100 dollar bill to buy the 2nd set of darts. I picked out a big stuffed "stewie" doll and he handed me a doll similar to the one I got the first time. I said "what the hell, you said I get the big one!" He then said"oh you mean the super jumbo, buy $20 more and you get that one." I was sooo mad, and then quickly remembered my anger management classes and walked away. Beware of the unshowered carnival workers...Wake UP Bakersfield!

the sherriff says they have seized almost a billion dollars of marijuana this year in kern county alone, why dont we get off our high horse and start taxing it? we cut schooling for our kids, we build more prisons...to be honest taxing this stuff would probably cut crime down and really help our economy. people say pot is bad and that its a "gateway" drug, i tried cigarettes first. WAKE UP BAKERSFIELD!
