A male with 4 names—-was he part of the human smuggling & drug gangs going from Bakersfield to Newhall to SFV to LA to Mexico?!?!
What an ignorant person you are.
Are you serious? Get some culture dude. You’re embarrassing or a uneducated racist
Hey Dean, the way I see it is that, the only difference between you and Bustos is,
your and embarrassing educated racist. . . .
Honestly, this is my estranged husband.
He was a woman beating piece of work. He probably died of an overdose and that’s why there is no foul play suspected.
He was El Salvadoran and boasted about being with the ms13 when he was younger.
Relax, Dean. Live a little, Dean. It was just a joke, Dean. Learn to have a sense of humor, Dean. Ok… Dean?
Sense of humor when the article is about a person found dead. ?
That comment is as sick as the original comment.
No not a joke. This Bustos character is always making some comment about race.
I believe he was homeless…There are two camps there…My heart goes out to his family.
People should not be living in the bushes, especially during fire season.
A man LOST HIS LIFE here guys!! …
and these comments have me laughing my ass off ! (not at the passing of Marlon Francisco Menjivar Torres, RIP) but at the ‘LIBERAL MAFIA REPRESENTATIVE’ who doesn’t miss a beat to tell someone else that their comments are “uncultured or racist’.
Every day I thank my lucky stars we have “liberal progressives” to set all the rest of straight!
The woke left has no sense of humor, only rage, grievances and unresolved daddy issues
Disgusting comment by a disgusting person
This comment thread is unbelievable. Bringing up race and playing it off as a joke about a dead man says more about your character than anyone you’re framing in your comments.
Go to church, all of you need guidance and a slap on the face. Absolutely despicable.
I responded already but must have been struck because I used the ‘A’ word, so this time, I won’t be so ‘offensive’
This is a very funny string of comments! (Not because Mr Marlon Francisco Menjivar Torres passed of course, may he Rest In Peace),
But because without missing a beat, the “LIBERAL MAFIA REPRESENTATIVE” calls out Mr Bustos as being either uncultured or an ‘uneducated racist’.. without he himself knowing anything about Mr. Bustos, (who quite frankly could have truly been asking that question with knowledge he had, could have been elderly, could be mentally challenged… anything. But dang it if the liberal mafia rep doesn’t immediately make his own judgements to “defend” anything HE calls racist!
It always gives me such great relief knowing that there is an entire generation who has claimed their duty to correct anyone who doesn’t see things their way, no matter what the subject.
Hey L.M.R… you cannot control people’s thoughts that they have based on their own personal experiences. RACISM is if someone denies another (something) based on their personal opinions. Simply having their own opinions does not make them RACIST. EVERYTHING Seems to be deemed “RACIST” by the L.M,R’s, but when they ACT on it, (by posting rude comments and calling Mr Bustos names… now THAT is RACIST!!
Ah… more Liberal Mafia Representatives! Thank you for your service.
Dean: I never mentioned race, but extremely likely is Mexican because they’re our closest Country well known for their smuggling on the route mentioned. Dean, get your Naive, brainwashed head out of the sand &/or some Liberals arse! This is catastrophic reality’s!! Gangs & Cartels are real and affect innocent people/societies.
You are*
And if you educated yourself a bit more in other cultures/ethnic groups you honor to carry both father’s and mother’s last name. FYI
