Take a look at one of our downtown police spy cams – just like the one that captured the Kelly Thomas killing at the Fullerton Transportation Center. This one is located on the south side of Amerige Avenue almost exactly where Veth Mam was assaulted and arrested for no reason by Kenton Hampton about two […]

FFFF Welcomes Cynthia Ward’s “THINK for Yourself” Blog To Our Blogroll
When I first met Cynthia Ward, we were engaged in a harsh disagreement over a particular county clerk who was posturing himself as a candidate for OC Supervisor. Things got ugly, as they do. But after the dust settled, both Cynthia and I realized that we actually had more in common than not. So we […]
Going Into Labor, Part 2a – The Solution; There Ought To Be A Law
Identifying a problem is the first step on the path to fixing it. Sort of like a drunk needs to admit his addiction to booze. In my last post I described the inherent dysfunction of allowing government workers to unionize, and in effect, place their own collective interests ahead of delivering the services they were hired […]
Long Time Fullerton Resident Baxter Knocks It Out of Park!
Want to see and hear what a real local hero has to say about Kelly Thomas and the FPOA Blueshirts? Check it out: I don’t know about you, but I think if we had a few more Baxters and a few fewer Florys we would have had a whole helluva lot less trouble around here […]
Unity Versus Justice
I spent a long time listening to the comments at our City Council meeting on August 7 on getting an RFP from OCSD. There were some good remarks pro and con.

Here’s the comment: #4 by Anonymous on July 27, 2012 Who gave the (2) policemen Medals of Honor ???? Read the following from a Fullerton […]
A New Era of Responsibility and Accountability
As it streamed into my one-room cabin out on Screech Owl Road, last night’s Fullerton City Council meeting was a joy to watch. After three or four decades of watching nattering imbeciles following the direction of staff like stringed mannequins, we finally got to see a rare treat: a Fullerton council that is decisive, in […]
Judge Says No to “Top Secret” Tony Rackauckas (with update)
UPDATE: Stop the presses. It seems as if I were a tad premature in my post. According to the OC Register, the judge gave the DA the right to come after a specific request is made by the Fullerton City Council: The judge said the D.A.’s motion is a tad premature because with the City […]
Release The Phone Call!
At last Tuesday’s council meeting, freshly minted councilman Travis Kiger let it be known that he had received a request from the public to hear the phone call made from the Slidebar that summoned the cops that eventually beat Kelly Thomas to death. The nature of the call has been the topic of much speculation […]
