This report isn't accurate. The truth is he locked himself in on purpose. It was a full moon and he knew he would smell the prostitutes over on Tahoe circle once he turned into the wolfman. Nothing wrong with being cautious. The last time ol' wolfey had a date it didn't turn out so hot!

BRAVO, DO IT AGAIN! He simply means to not drive drunk. That is it. Those of 21 years or older are welcome to drink and drive, BUT they must learn to drink reasonably. Don't you want to read (or even add) blogs to the next police log/blotter? Of course you do. This is serious stuff. Let's make sure TP does not have the opportunity to write 'a suspected drunken driver..' in their next publication. (I wrote this late, but hopefully drinkers will read this and follow) Lori
...
written by fortheunderdog , August 01, 2008
Lori,

Persons 21 yrs of age or older should not be welcomed to drink and drive even if they drink reasonably. There should always be a designated driver. People who think they're drinking reasonably might be slight of stature. Two drinks just might take them over their limit. People who drink responibly, reasonably, might think they are but continue to drink.

Also, the police blogs will not mention names of persons DUI. The police listings are not actually police listings. They are penned by Press staff who read police dispatcher logs on incidents that occurred during a given time. The Press staff puts the info in their own words.

To All Concerned,

On July 31st, in the Voice Archives (Mad About Neighbors), maybenotdumBcommenT voiced her opinion of our commenting on the Police Blotter/Logs to Decker in a most negative way. I was not shocked to see that maybenotdumBcommenT would stoop to such a low and responded to Decker.

I, for one, will no longer indulge maybenotdumBcommenT with any responses. I will, however, respond to defend myself to whomever she is writing if that writing sullies my reputation.

As always, you can handle this whichever way you see fit.

OK, fortheunderdog, it was kind of stupid for me to say that they are 'welcomed to drink'. I am not at all saying that there is anothing wrong with a 'designated driver', which is highly encouraged. You have to realize people with friends and whoever else may be tempted to have booze if alcohol is present and others are drinking. IF they do drink (I know I won't and others may not drink as well) they need to do it responsibly. Reread my letter to the editor for fourth of July in the TP this year. Take church for instance. For those who go to communion, a sip of wine may be done. I do not see police arresting people who drive after drinking wine at communion.

I am a victim (as you may already know), & I am trying to understand the drinkers mind. To me, understanding them is the best way bring sober drivers to the roads. Please fortheunderdog, understand what I am trying to do.

LAM,I do understand your concern, I lost my husband along with two other pedestrains at a crosswalk 4 years ago in NY, drunk driver!! Right in the daylight!

If only that person had decided to be responsible, drink and STAY AT HOME!!!!

I do understand the need to get the information out of there, you, LAM, are stronger than I in that regard!!

written by Annie Snyder , August 02, 2008
LAM, I am sorry that you were victimized. Was it by a drunk driver? Anyone who drinks is capable of drinking and driving. Understanding a drunk will not help bring sober drivers to the road. Most drunks will not reason out that concequence. By drunks, I mean alcoholics. People who are tipsy may be able to get home safe, but there is no guaranty. Plus, your reactions are impared. If another drunk causes an accident, the tipsy person may not be able to react in time and become a victim of the person who is more drunk. Both parties will be booked on a DUI. In my opinion a drunk is lucky to get a DUI and NOT an accident. A sip of wine is not a drink. If a designated driver takes a sip of someone's drink they are at no risk of a DUI.
Drunks don't think like normal people. If you are normal you will not understand them.

written by LAM , August 02, 2008
Amy, Thank You so Much for understanding my words (let's just hope FTUD does). I am very sorry what happened to your husband and to the pedestrians. Of course, a designated driver is a definite way to bring sober drivers to the roads, but you need to understand a drinker's mind. Things get tough when that person is with drinking friends and alcohol is present. They need to think of the future before downing a bottle of wine. Sip (which is done in church), designate a driver, get a cab, or stay home.
...
written by amy , August 02, 2008
Thank you LAM,
I am sure futd understood you, just kidding along with you and he is on your side, too.

Three good advice you just gave:
1...designate a driver,
2...get a cab,
3...or stay home.

Thanks, it couldn't be clearer. An alcoholic will have to dry out to regain full capacity in making good conscious choices. Prior to that, they only think of the "next" drink. No amount of reasoning, pleading or bargaining would make any difference, the alcholic will have to want to get help for oneself. Have treated too many alcoholic patients, they heal so slowly as compared to the healthier ones. Their bodies are not able to keep up the demand of healing while repairing the damages ravaged by alcohol. Depends on the severity.

It's okay fortheunderdog. It will not happen overnight, but as time goes on sober drivers will be on our roads. It will become odd and unusual for a drunken person to hit the roads (if it isn't already!) So Much disrespect for that driver will automatically come. Knowledge of the grim results an accident caused from a drunken driver must hit sober minds first. Maturity, and even fear, will teach people to remain sober behind the wheel (resulting in sipping, cab calling, or designated driver). Let's see Police blotter of 02 August 2008 if it isn't out already! Have a good day all! smilies/wink.gif

written by fortheunderdog , August 02, 2008

LAM,

Vehicle makers were, at one time, thinking of installing a breathalyzer in their cars, making the driver take a test to make sure they're sober enough to drive. The problem was making sure it was the driver blowing into the machine and not someone else so that idea kind of went out the window. It was a good thought by the automakers at the time. Maybe waaaaay in the future the steering wheel, or whatever is used then, will be able to detect alcohol content by screening moisture from the skin of your hands. smilies/wink.gif

I prefer to stay on equal ground. If you have a problem you should try to work it out. That is what I am doing with this whole thing. Our neighbors and I could have gone to an attorney and tried to force the undesirables out but this is a step in the positiveness direction I like to try.

This has taken more time then I thought to keep track of the comings and goings of cars, mostly at a certain house and working with my other neighbors. We have a lot to get done.

You start innuendos amy. That is just as bad, you badger and pick and go on and on showing you don't approve of what others say. It is the same thing. Count your comments then count mine. It is like you disapprove of everyone who doesn't agree with you and you partner TRN.

I will continue to state my opinions and I will fight for and against those that are bullies. I do it myself a lot of the times but I never get mad and say I'm never talking to you again and turn tail and run. Be my guest and run little girl Just don't cry about it. It's life. I'm older then you and know more then you, especially about life and death. I also know we all experience it differently. Believe me, I'm not your worst nightmare on here. Your many many over stated comments makes you a target. Dave H. gets it. I have at times. You are no better then me. We are equals, if only you understood that.

Btw, on the instigation of fights, that is your right to put it in that context but I call it my opinion. If I had said anything out of turn Cheri would have yanked it.

mndc, I am trying to use a nice voice here, so don't get upset. We all have opinions....strong ones. A lot of times you are very agressive in your wording. Most of us are stating opinions or playing, then you come in sounding mad. The way you word things is very, in your face. When people are mean to me I have to decide if I want to subject myself to their abusive comments or interact with people who are fun for me. I can have a difference of opinion than someone and still find them fun to banter with. When it gets reduced to name calling, I reply in kind until I decide it is not worth my time.

Good Monday to you DO IT AGAIN. I see you made it through the weekend safely. Another week of either disagreeing or agreeing. smilies/wink.gif

Do you work in Tracy during the week then drive/fly home on the weekends? Just asking. Your next to last comment led me to believe that...or maybe I just read that into it.

Goodmorning! Well ftud I was Born and raised here, but I no longer work nor live here. I'm in
the country just out of town now. I do still have many strong ties and commitments here. But with the way the crime rate and everything is going in Tracy I'm not sure if we will return.

Annie, I was mad. At the jokes made towards innocent people. Some of the jokes were made up, some included part truths. I don't think that is nice especially if the victim of a crime that was made fun about. That is what I didn't like.

I just think you are blowing the majority of the commentor's humor out of proportion.

When do you stop once you voiced your opinion? Why do you continue, you know you are not going to stop our humor time, so why even bother? Many have told you they are not going to stop.

Just like you would go to a church and try to convert their belief to yours... just does not work that way? Voice your opinion without mischaractizing anyone. I still have not forgotten how low you got with fortheunderdog and me! Why continue that low behavior? Lighten up or leave the blog and leave the fun moments to the commentors who enjoy it and many readers do enjoy it as evidenced by here and there from new commentors.

What is your goal, disharmony or peace?

If you had the insight you would have observed that LAM, (Lori Martin) and I were victims of drunk drivers. Her severe injuries and intensive rehabilitation that ensues. The death of my husband due to drunk driver-4 years ago, August 14th. I applaud her for her courage to submit her brand of humor on the blotter and log.
Now we were both victims and we will be victims if we let our experience turn us bitter. No, Lori and I plan to keep our brand of humor as well as the others.

We want to be the stronger for it by defeating the bitterness that everyone has a right to feel at the loss of what was. LAM could be bitter, she is not, I could be bitter, but I will not succumb to it. Courage is much admired and I see that in LAM, too.

Here is the prescription from the doctor to maybenotadumBcommenT:

Take accountability and responsibility for what you do and say on hourly basis.

Have a good day, buh bye!
NEXT
-amy

Then nurse amy, you need to stop this and you need to quit interfering with my First Amendment right as an American. You have told me to stop blogging before.

You think you're the only one with pain? Well you aren't. I am sorry you lost your husband in a horrible way but You make fun of other peoples hurts. Implications.

It is your right to think I am blowing these ha ha funny bloggers out of proportion as it is my right to disagree with what you say.

BTW, I have never said anything to LAM so that is a mute concept on your part.

One comparison in loss. I saw my father lose his whole leg and then die a few months after that. His last request, as his child, he asked that could he put on his slippers and robe and go for a car ride. Did you get that amy? Slippers with an "s". Your hurt and pain will ease in the years that follow but you have a lot of anger still. Just like I did when I lost my father. Now my mother will be gone soon. I get to do it all over again.

Believe you me, I have courage. You assume I don't, you are wrong. I told you, I'm older then you, if you would like to exchange hard life lessons back and forth I will do that. I don't think losing my father was worse then you losing your husband.
...

Oh I know you have courage, you aren't afraid to be persistent with your view! smilies/wink.gif

I never mentioned you saying anything to LAM, I am saying she is a victim as much as the others, but worse, she got injured and in spite of that she retained her humor, that is what I said. "If you had the insight"... "if you had noticed..."

The rest of the day belongs to you and I have stated my views, so I feel I covered my views well. So there is no need for me to continue this with you.

My courage came when I was able to stay with my father and watch the doctors dress his shin bone due to lack of circulation. Courage came when you don't have the best father but because he needed me none of that mattered, but it did to my siblings and I stood alone in my courage. I stayed with him until the day he went to Heaven. Courage is when I wanted to fall after his death but I was determined to stand to help my mother. I have been doing this for about ten years and I became closer to my parents more then ever. I feel privileged to be with them at the end of their life. Not everyone is as lucky as I am.

No, It was a long suffering death for which brought me closer to God.

isthistrue, as long as I feel someone is hurting someone else I have the right to voice my opinion. If I am bothering someone, in their opinion, they are welcome to ignore my comment. If they think I am wrong they are welcome to ignore me. !st Amendment right. Freedom of speech, Unless Cheri feels it is inappropriate. At this point I don't think I have been deleted.

Just because of my opinions, it does not make me bitter. I'm neither spiteful nor vindictive because I disagree with what you do. You can make a joke without spinning of the police logs as samples to work with.

Now how can anyone be bitter with what God gave you? We don't all have the perfect body or life. You work with what you got and make it a positive.

i know what you say, but saying mean things to commentors is not called for. cheri will remove obscene words but will not remove harsh words that i see you put out so much... if you said those words to me.. seeing how you treat others , i dont recommend that kind of harsh treatment.
speak kindly. results may come sooner.
kind words reaches more people, wins themover better.
hopethis does not make you sad. i know you are a good person, but too strong words defeats the goodness in one being. jesus demonstrated how we speak to our fellowmen.
please think on it, if the roles were reversed on diffrent area and words were used on you harshly you wrould have walked away feeling dispirited.
you have the very right to express your opinion,but temper words with kindness. it goes further in getting your point across.
god bless you and eeryone. hope your day today and from now on will be good to you and eveyone.
forgive my poor typing, typing with one good hand.

See, I posed as isthistrue? It got more kind response from you. Everything I posted as isthistrue? is not attacking you either. It spreads out kindness. Now that thisistrue? is no longer, but remember there are people with kindness out there and I am using this character after the kind person I took care of and his spirit is indominable.We could learn from him?

God bless you, spread your kind words, under your real name or ficitonal name. Isthistrue? is the way the patient would have spoken, he was a retired minister. He passed away two months after his massive stroke. Prior to that he had mini strokes and he is so strong in his spirit. His family ralied around him to the very end. Is that what everyone wants, also, at their end?

Bless the patient who inspired me so to spread word of kindess on his part before his passing.

Thank you.

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying amy, as I answered with the same feeling to you and isthistrue?.

I read it over and over again and what you are saying, I think, is that you are a poser? Of isthistrue?.

Does this have anything to do with you trying to trick me into thinking you are someone else? Well I can't complain because I have another name as well and you all have been gushingly nice to my other name. What do you know.

I don't know if our son is OK because he is in a certain branch of the Army that does not allow him to tell anyone what he is doing, where he is or when he will go home to his wife and new baby.

If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them if I can.

So relieved to hear your son is fine for now, sure wish they would let the troops get in touch with their families more often, would lessen the worries on their own minds as well as the families!

Yes, I am a poser of isthistrue? Sort of being his "voice". His family and I remain in touch and he told me his histories of frustrations in Tracy. Learned alot from him. Just felt I had to fight for his cause, too, to see that the Sports Park be put in place since his three kids have grown and gone to Sacramento.

Before his massive stroke, he complained of the narrow walks on the sidewalks, hard to maneuveur in the wheelchair with so many people around on narrow walks. I kept that in mind. I saw his manner of typing and his way of kind speaking to other troubled people who kept in touch with him while he ministers to the rest of them... free, out of love. With his good left hand, paralyzed on the right side.

His wife and I remain close since I took care of him for a almost a year, his passing was like a light of chapter in human history that left a hole in the families' lives.

I talked to his wife and asked if I could be his "voice" some months ago on the fate of Tracy and her citizens, she gave me her full approval. That was before I knew I would be offered a new position. His voice may be silent but his wishes will remain alive until the ground breaks for the park then his wish will have been granted!

I am speaking to you in the kindest way possible, in the hopes you will give it some thought that kindness does have a way of reaching more people and attracting more to want to listen to you.

Thank you for taking much nicer tone this time, it makes comprehension easier, too. Have a great day

-amy

amy, if you really knew me people think I am exceptionally kind. I have a line I draw. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. As you get older you realize some things are different then when you were younger. I use to like to drink on occasion, now it is not that big of deal. It is nearly out of the picture. Grandchildren matter. My adopted grand children matter. My dieing mother matters. My son and spouse matter.

I could be on either side of the fence on this joking issue. It hadn't been such a big deal until I said I thought it was wrong to do. That was the catalyst for a few of you to actually gang up on me and say it wasn't that big of a deal. Well it was to me. You all started it when I had a police report made because someone did something illegal to me and my family and it was in one of those logs. I have said this before tho. If someone had hit on it and made a joke in similarity to my situation I would have felt betrayed and hurt. Then it escalated on both sides. Just because other people didn't notice it doesn't mean it wouldn't have been hurtful. Someone even went after an 82 year old gentlemen. I did not see the humor when one compared to a real one, even if it was made up partially. The implication is still there that it was something to make fun of.

Maybe you should sit down and ask God what he would do. Having a good laugh is great. There is a time and place for everything. People want me to give it up and I have. If I had asked them to give it up on the jokes I don't think they would afford me the same courtesy because on some of the jokes it is obvious there is intentional antagonism to upset me. One would be ftud's referral to the 400 pounds of which he used to insult me a while back. I have decided to ignore it because some people are just that way. Now someone was asking a legitimate question about a chase. If you look back just a week ago the logs comments were nothing.

Yes, I guess that is what you could call it, a "moniker".

As with many others on the bloggers, maybe even you? Who knows?
I am glad to be his voice, though. Not trying to justify what I did, just glad to be part of senior awareness. Too many people don't really look at them today, looking over their needs and disabilities. I based my character isthistrue? on the patient mentioned and others in similar situation.

Even amy is not my real name. Like yours is not your real name and not going to push you for it,and don't expect anyone do to that to me either.... Only one person knows my real name and that is the web designer of the sports park. He will respect my privacy since I had every concern to be protective of my identity when in Tracy.

I am sure more than one people other than those who used their real names used many monikers? It is the dangerous monikers that I would be concerned about,.... as long as it brings awareness and requests as seniors would have asked... I don't think that is so bad. If I disappointed anyone, for that I am sorry.

DO IT AGAIN,

I think you meant to say "county" instead of "country" but I could be wrong. smilies/cheesy.gif

You're correct. I've lived in Tracy for 18 yrs this Aug and crime has increased more in the last 3 yrs than in the previous 15. I can't pin point where it's coming from though. Could be from kids just now growing up that are troublemakers and crooks or it could be from families bring their children into Tracy. Whatever it is, crime is not getting any better. A majority of the families in Tracy, I think, have both parents working leaving their children at home. Without the guidance they get into trouble, into gangs, or whatever suits them at the time. The parents have to be much more responsible in bringing up their kids. Not enough discipline I think but kids nowadays KNOW just how far their parents can go without it being abuse. Too many kids will call the police if they think they're being abused. It was different when I was growing up. All my father had to do was look at me and I knew to knock it off. Times have changed so much.

maybenotadumBcommenT, I am sorry for that, but may I ask you a question, did you ever pose as "Danny Hobbs?"

You did mention you have other "alias", so I just wondered how you went about using it in your comments attacking others?

Just hope to see the "attacks and hurtful, tearing down comments cease on your part, just state your opinion and end it there? Just be peaceful but yet firm with your opinion? Just a suggestion?

Sorry for the part I did. And I am ending this for me on this blog.

":08 p.m.: A caller from Save Mart at 2005 N. Tracy Blvd. reported a woman was taken into custody for shoplifting. Police said she qualified for something called the “shoplift arrest program.” "

It appears from the blotter that this program apparently meets at the wall mart parking lot.
