    California, U.S. enslaved by corruption

    February 20th, 2012, 2:40 pm by Betty Talbert, letters editor

    LAGUNA BEACH, Dave Connell: Steve Greenhut's article, “Harris' Injustice Department” on pension reform discloses that California's Attorney General, Kamala Harris, is apparently almost as corrupt as President Barack Obama's U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder. Actually, we should not be surprised since it appears that wherever the Democrats/unions are in power, corruption runs rampant.

    From a president who ignores our Constitution, to a Congress enacting ever more laws restricting freedom, to unions controlling too many politicians and judges, to Legislatures not requiring identification of voters; we are letting our country slide into the deep do-do of socialism.

    For example: Whether it's Greenhut's exposure of California's AG changing the wording on the people's Initiatives to suit her union masters, or Obama's voter fraud organizations like ACORN, or the union-controlled judge in Wisconsin allowing obviously fake ballots signed by names like Mickey Mouse to be counted so the unions can get more votes to recall Wisconsin's brave Gov. Walker who dared to oppose union control of that state; we the people are being engulfed and enslaved by corruption. Regular patriotic freedom loving citizens must awake and start fighting back at the ballot box and with support of the people's Initiatives. [See more letters on Justice]

    Shooting of Sgt. Loggins: allow the deputy his privacy

    February 17th, 2012, 12:45 pm by Kyle Infante

    YORBA LINDA, Michael Granek: I disagree with Tony Saavedra's reasoning for releasing the deputy's name in the shooting of Manuel Loggins [“Name of deputy who shot Marine not released,” Local, Feb. 16].

    You don't know what you are talking about. You are a journalist, not a police officer. You have the luxury of doing your job, while sitting at your computer, drinking your coffee and leisurely doing your work. You will never know what it is like to make a split-second decision that might mean life or death for you or someone else.

    The deputy involved was dealing with someone who wasn't in a normal state of mind. He heard children in the car screaming. Loggins failed to comply with any of the deputy's commands. Neither of us knows the fine details, but for some reason, the deputy felt he had to stop Loggins, possibly from harming the children.

    How do you know that the deputy involved isn't wracked with guilt over this whole incident? Perhaps he did what he felt was best at the moment, but feels remorse for having to take the life of another human being. Yes, officers are trained for this, and they have the authority to do this, but it doesn't mean they take joy in taking someone's life.
