  • It seems as though your fans are afraid to write about this subject. Who the hell hangs out in South Santa Ana? Not you.

    • Over ninety percent of blog readers never comment.

      I don't have many reasons to go to south Santa Ana as I live in the northeast part of the city.

  • Omg! I barely found out that my friend Paul Anthony was killed by these Losers. Anthony was a good person and didnt deserve this. I know he loved his daughter very much and was proud of her. NOW this young girl doesnt have her Father. This murderer got away with this he should have gotten the death penalty....
