Current Headlines: Police Files In Huntington Beach, CA
From My Local Newspaper…
All I can say is… You’ve Got to Be Kidding Me!

Fighting in a movie theater over a cell phone? That’s just insane!
Calling the police about a guy who wants to take you out? Don’t you think you should just ask your fiance to take care of the issue?
I thought we lived in a free country… since when doesn’t somebody “belong” on a public street? And, how can somebody see if a man is “sensually looking” from that far away? This area is our most affluent area in the city.. go figure. People are so ignorant.
The Taylor Drive story about the elderly gentleman… that’s in my neighborhood…. “aawwwhhh…” I can’t wait to ask my neighbor about it!
I’m dying to see what the $52 dollar bill looked like!
Thank God the Throw Up Goddess has a mommy to clean up her mess!
-AND, from PAGE TWO:

Sorry that it’s a bit blurry. In case you can’t read it…
Kukui Drive: A resident said a man was groping himself and making “rapper moves” on the 10200 block at 3 p.m. Sunday. The resident was concerned because children were playing nearby.
THAT IS HILARIOUS! Was it Michael Jackson?
Do you have funny local police files, too?

The $52 bill is hilarious! How stupid can you be to try to pass off a non-existant denomination of money!
We don’t have anything that funny in our police files because we live in such a small community. The bright side is that there’s less crime.

It’s hard to believe people call in with stuff like that and then they print it in the paper. Holy cow!

I had to laugh! I’ve never read that section of the paper, but now I’m going to. I wonder if I’ll see some similar stuff?
Our movie theater has completely banned the use of cell phones. If they see one on, you are thrown out. I’m all for it!

Weird but interesting… I have never read, or seen an American newspaper before. So, in light of my ignorance, can you tell me what 10200 (insert whatever number) ‘block’ means? I saw that in a few of those file snippets.

ps. we wouldn’t get away with saying such discriminatory statements as that person said, about someone looking like they didn’t belong in a certain area. That was outrageous!
Definitely was time for the new president, based on that comment alone… (even if I don’t agree with many of his policies).

That’s too funny and kind of sad. I save some of the stupid things in our newspaper, especially from the police blotter. I had a friend who moved away and wanted to keep up with the home town news. I gave her all of the “special” stories she had been missing. There are some that are funny to read but it’s embarrassing that they happened in my hometown.

Amanda… I am totally appalled by the racist statement. That’s why I highlighted it! What was that woman thinking saying something like that?

Lol. This is why I don’t read the paper. I just get the headlines from the locals on Yahoo. What a world, what a world.
