  • So another child killed blocks from councilman Benavides house. But, all we hear is about a vibrant downtown. I wonder if she was one of his KIDSWERKS patrons.

    No woner Emily took the kids and moved to Orange!

    Maybe his campaign should change it's slogan to VIOLENT SANTA ANA.

  • Thammmmm i use to kikit with her and talk to her in freshman year at school now shes gone...just cant believ it RIP janet who ever did this is gana pay.

  • Most of the blame is our mayor he's the one in charge of that city council click ...tried of hearing he's not in charge, but yet he's over at hectors Mariscos over on Main Street promoting a drug infused bar...strait B/S....and as for David benavides he's an awesome council member....stop be a hater..

    • Are you serious? The Mayor is opposed by the entire Council. If you want to blame someone you must look at the Council. They fired Chief Walters. The crime situation in our city is on them now.

    • For you information David Benavides goes to Mariscos Hectors. So you hater running you mouth come meet me and the mayor at Hector's

  • Well, I'll give you this CC, Pablo "David" Benavides is probably a better councilmember then he was a Husband or a Father. Have you taken a look at this guy parading around with young women at the bars, while his kids are at home eating Macaroni and Cheese?

    If that's what you mean by awesome.......

  • Hey carpet muncher you sound like a broken record that belongs to the mayor, go play that crap on his turntable...

  • Say what you will about Mayor Pulido Cc. But I can promise you he never served as "wingman" to an accused rapist and kidnapper. I wonder what Carlos and David were really doing in Washington DC alone together, while their families were at home eating mac and cheese., maybe they were eating hot dogs, who knows.

    Either way, this broken record plays and plays but nobody is listening to the words: Benavides was a bad husband and father, he is now running around with twenty something women, what does that say about his character? maybe we should ask CBUS or Antonio Villagrossa, the three seem like triplets.
