Odds are he is a right-winger. Santa Barbara is 99 9/10% republican. Only working class people are illegals who live 30 to a house because the rich-ass-bastards won't pay a livable wage.

Thats not true at all, 99% of Sanat Barabara isnt republican. There are more poor and middle class people and rich dems in SB than you think.

Correct--this is a primarily Democtatic town. Typical for the non-informed to blather nonsense about which they know nothing. Montecito is largely Republican....

Has to be some idiot Republican with hatred from long ago. What a sissy!

[too droll to troll]

Chuck Norris???????

I believed, we should look this as an example of frustration of some people with our government and although this act affected me on be late to my job. I believed, we should not be pointing against republicans or democrats. Nonetheless, we should be unite and getting ready to vote.

Yes I know, spell check! Anyway when I worked there in the early seventies, it was just as I said.
I had to commute two hours cause I couldn't afford rent and I worked for the Fed. I knew oilfield people who lived in Pumpkin Center, Ford City, Oil Dale etc. commuted to Cuyama, Santa Maria and Santa Barbara.

Maybe things have changed but I will have to see it to believe it.

Can we say "Anger Management"???

The illegals who are working, living 30 in a house is their choice so they can send most of thier money back to their families so they can live "high on the hog". Wheather Repulican or Democrat, if they have enough money to have a busniness by the time they take all the taxes out "to pay for people who don't want to work" they don't have alot to spread around. Besides it's their money and they can do what they want. Do like they did and WORK FOR IT!!!

Get a life, people.

I was only talking about Santa Barbara itself, not the Neo-Cons that live here in the dust bowl.

Of my 21 years living in Santa Barbara there were only a few Republicans that I have met and my friends and fam live in Montecito and the NorthSide as well as the upper west ssiiiiiiiidddeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Thurfur beat me to it. I read this story and thought "MASKED PATRIOT DID SOMETHING FUNNY". I would have liked the headline to read "Police shoot rambling idiot".

[The Lone Ranger]

Is this guy the last real patriot left in America or are there more? I guess George Washington and Paul Revere would be considered nut-cases in these modern times for their Revolutionary ideals and actions. Anybody want to throw a load of Starbucks Coffee into the Eureka Bay?

[RIGHTNOW]

And to think,were all part of the same species,this crap would be funny,if it were not so real. Did some one say that it was Michael Savage?
