Month: March 2018

This week, we’ve got a lot on our collective plate to talk about. We’re discussing the Santa Cruz correctional officer arrested for sexual assault on an inmate, an 11 hour standoff in Watsonville, sexual predator arrested at downtown library, more ROR failure from our local courts, county probation keeps feeding us more criminal behavior, true love, car thieves arrested on Ocean, tweeker mail thief busted, Moron Beach, I wonder where he got those syringes, home rager in Watsonville, Santa Cruz forgets to march, gun buy back in Santa Cruz, Downtown Commission wants new rules downtown, the Happy Story of the Week, and more!

This week, I’m bring you an atmospheric river of news, views, and attitude. We’ve got the Darwin award winner who lives to see another day, the city council talks about public safety, giant tree falls on Felton elementary school, less than ideal, guns in Davenport, bums at CVS, identity thief busted, Red Cross trailer stolen, Santa Cruz woman embezzles local non-profit, new (old) jail opens (re-opens), spinning wheel comes down, the Weekly Seen, the Happy Story of the Week, and more!

It’s been a wet week and it’s about to get even wetter! This week, we’re back to talking about the Hobonip, we had multiple shots fired a block from Santa Cruz High School, we had a crazy scene at the UnSafeway, Satan worshipper arrested again, ICE comes to Capitola (but skips Santa Cruz for now), hit and run fatality in Boulder Creek, how’s that prison reform working for you?, throwing stones, broken Arrow, SCHS walkout, the Weekly Seen, it’s a 3 dog night, the Happy Story of the Week, Hugh’s Views, and we say adieu to DMS.

We’re taking a week off this week from complaining about the idiocy of the Hobonip, mostly because it was a pretty violent week even by Santa Cruz standards. We had a guy shot in the head outside a local fabric store, we had another shooting in Boulder Creek, a local gang member was arrested with a loaded gun, where’s ICE when you need them, a decomposed body was found near Soquel High School, fallen tree blocks both lanes of Highway 17 at rush hour, get a bike light next time, more Breaking Bad locally, details about new project across from Dream Inn, Sunset Inn razed, 501 Cedar getting a facelift, January crime statistics for the city of Santa Cruz, The Happy Story of the Week, Santa Cruz Music Festival downtown this weekend, and more!

In the latest Weekly Dump, Camp Coonerty dies a slow, miserable death, Creeper home invasion attempt on Carbonera, woman stabbed in Live Oak, drive by shooting in front of Dominican Hospital, bum stabs another in the back in line at homeless shelter, breaking bad in Santa Cruz, woman assaulted and robbed on Pacific Avenue, Aptos driver robbed, man gets wrapped at Taco Bell, bum fight at Bay Photo, Hugh’s News, meet the violent inmates getting released from prison, we have the worst quality of life in the country, and probably more good news!
