  1. Did Vikranjeet hang out with Sexy Vegan?! The dog’s lucky because in that part of the world, they eat dogs! I guess Liberal Gas-Con has more compassion for dogs than humans because Cortez who was selling drugs to minors got out with Zero $ bail & Vikramgeet (a POC, how dare them) got $20,000! What a screwed up society the Liberals are causing!

    • What nonsense. Random crime has nothing to do with politics. The extreme wings of both political parties constantly make it clear that the desire to be inclusive should not extend to such lunacy. The Qanon and Antifa people should just move in together and leave the rest of us alone.

    • I have a great deal more compassion for dogs than any human. Dogs are an innocent helpless being, while humans are selfish, abusive morons, like you.

  2. vustos: Yes random and all crimes do have a correlation with Liberal politics! Liberals are soft & condoning on crime and cover-up who and where are committing the majority of all crimes(FBI statistics/facts) that aren’t reported properly in the deceitful/condoning/cover-up media’s! It’s not American to condone/downplay/cover-up bad behavior that may help neighbors! Look what disgusting Liberals & Gas-Con have been doing to our justice system!

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
