If that provides any satisfaction.

Some Surf Citiers have said "enough!"
It seems that downtown Huntington Beach suffers the same dysfunctional symptoms as downtown Fullerton: drunk driving, rowdyism, vandalism, etc., etc. The cause? Too many bars churning out too many inebriated patrons. Sound familiar?
“Well, At Least We’re Not Alone”…… Hmmmm
Sure, Vern is there with you in HB and he has a loaded gun too!.
First of all, instead of linking to the corporate-owned HB “Independent,” you should’ve linked to left-wing Fringer and occasional OJ contributor John Earl’s February Surf City Voice article on the same subject: http://www.surfcityvoice.org/2011/02/surf-citys-alcoholic-downtown-build-it-and-they-will-drink-and-drive/
As I lived in that area several years, I wonder if you guys have noticed THIS related plague: Gangs of young drunk male assholes who go around beating the shit out of any lone guy they see walking down the street late at night, and then kicking them in the face when they’re down. Happened to my brother (who’s a tough guy) and then my son a few months later.
The good (and remarkable) news is I tracked down the three guys who beat up my son – they all went to jail, and two of them are dead now. *schadenfreude* Kyle Arruda,Travis Ravelo, and Brandon Maw (Brandon still alive – watch your back dude!)
You have alot of nerve using “schadenfreude” when speaking of the people that have passed. That is sick, and as far as i am concerned if you are going to get pleasure out of our misfortune of losing a BROTHER, SON, AND AMAZING FRIEND, you are sick!!! You clearly did not know the situation of your son getting jumped. No body in HB will “jump some poor lonely guy” because he is alone. Your son obviously did something to get them revved up. This is absolutely disgusting. As some of us are approaching a 5th year of not having our friend/son/brother, you still get to look at your sons face- every day! Count your fortunes before you start to rudely speak of others losses.
Nope, my son did nothing. Neither did my brother. Or my friend George who got bashed in the head with a bottle by some guy riding by on a bike in the same area.
Sorry for your loss though.
“schadenfreude”…….. was it sexual?
“Happened to my brother”…… is your brother black?
