I weep for my hometown. I was born and raised in San Bernardino. My parents and sister are buried there. Until I went away to college, we lived a Mayberry existance on our family farm on South Waterman Avenue, a mere three blocks from the scene of today’s shooting. Unfortunately, San Bernardino has devolved from an idyllic small town to a hellhole engulfed in smog, filled with meth labs, gangs,and corrupt politicians, and populated by multi-generation welfare leeches. I weep for the good people who were killed and their families, none of whom deserved this tragic fate. I can only hope that no one I knew all those years ago was one of today’s victims.

we are so christian maybe we help the stranger then get our throats cut by them
35 % of voters voted in last off year election 2014 --in a way we are so dumb
I was born there. My grandfather's house, where I lived for a while before my mom and dad split up, is still there, in nearby Fontana. I've never had any desire to go back.
I feel bad for you. I have been to SB when I was younger, & it was nice. I guess those days are over.
Last time I was there I got gas. I was wishing my .45 Auto wasn't locked in a suitcase.
Sadly, that is a sign of the times.
That's a damned shame.
How many of us can actually say that the town we grew up in is still as nice as when we were kids?
Kimmy, you're disqualified, because you're too young.
i weep for my country----that is being run by IDIOTS
It is not just San Bernardino, it is all of Kalifornia that has taken a serious turn for the worst, they got a gimme free shit/you offend me /let me out of jail/gimme more free shit/ you are the wrong color voters. And when that happens you get used politicians like Jerry ASS CLOWN Brown. He is just like a little all white Obama, it is all about him, his legacy, and how many votes he can buy for the demotards. KIalifornia is a farooking mess.
Sadly this is becoming a nation wide problem. Kids can't even go out and play in the parks anymore, too many perverts and gang members. The entire country's morals are rapidly spinning down, and the clowns getting elected because they offer the most free shit are endorsing it.
Sorry, too.
And I know that trying to warn other small towns has been treacherous b/c they are already in the clutches of experienced infiltrators who work with the local riff-raff. Big money in that... but some do it just to lick at the boots of gentrification, and then flee to the hills when the SHTF.
This is all sad... whose fault is it? The answer maybe complex, but the people need to do something... they aren't and why aren't they? What is the solution?
