CM PRESS # 569


MORE ON THE PAINTBALL INCIDENT

According to the Katrina Foley Almost Daily Daily Pilot, "Gregory Dahlgren, was reportedly sleeping in the alley behind P K Burgers near Placentia Avenue and Center Street when he was shot about 9 p.m. by a handful of kids 25 to 35 times."


Well, the KFADDP apparently got it wrong.

As we reported in CM PRESS # 568, we went to the alley and we also personally spoke to Mr. Dahlgren.

There is absolutely no paint splatter in the alley behind PK Burgers that we could find. Paint splatter is common when paint balls are shot.


Also, Mr. Dahlgren told us that he was attacked at Lions Park, not the alley behind PK Burgers.


Mr. Dahlgren told us the attackers were kids, but when we asked their ages he said they were about 26 or 27 years old and then indicated that since he's 48 years old, someone 26 or 27 is a kid to him.


We'll just have to wait until the CMPD finishes its investigation to get all the correct facts on this incident.

JOHN WAYNE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW
Unfortunately, none of our elected officials seem to be doing anything realistic about John Wayne Airport and they seem to be relying on a couple of citizen groups to do something.

Big mistake.

It's going to take some political leadership to keep JWA from growing and it's going to take a real plan, not the goofy train to the desert scheme that is just a waste of time and which is causing some people to falsely believe that a real plan is in place. It's just busy work.
