  • "Escapee from Santa Ana mental health facility back in custody"......... Hmmmmmm

    Thanks Admin for releasing the real name and picture behind the "mateo" anonym.

    I hope that he gets well and will get an access to a computer so he can keep us posted on his Don Quixote of La OCCUPY novela.

    Same as Cervantes Teo always looks back on his conduct in the battle with pride: he believes that he is taking part in an event that will shape the course of the left-liberal-progressive history.

  • Well you know it wasn't a Benavides supporter, the crazy ones live in Orange Park Acres, Long Beach and Irvine!

    Have you seen these obsesive maniacs?
    Those homes deserve a welfare check from the authorities (and in the Orange Hills case the TAX COLLECTOR)!!!
