Earlier this week I was working on writing something humorous. That all unexpectedly changed a few minutes before six am on Friday morning when Jimmy, my father in law, told me the terrible news about the tragic shootings in Aurora, Colorado. After pouring a cup of hot coffee, I turned on the news. The events of the previous evening reminded me of so many other senseless crimes. I knew immediately this week's story would not be funny.
As I watched the news reports and I-phone video clips, I found my self feeling both sad and angry. Sadness for the victims and their families and anger at the suspect. Angry that in a few minutes our three boys who are eight, eleven, and thirteen years old would walk out of their bedrooms rubbing their sleep filled eyes and I would need to tell them about the suspect's cowardly actions. I knew my challenge would be to explain why families enjoying a movie just like we love to do ourselves, were the victims of such random violence.
I recall wishing there had been an off-duty police officer in the movie audience who could have evened up the odds. Hearing the police radio transmissions from the shooting scene began to rattle the hinges and knock the dust off of the locked foot locker which holds my own personal memories of evil people and their helpless victims. As I looked at the clock above our stove, it seemed the minute hand was racing to the top of the hour with each passing minute. I did not enjoy the thought of our children loosing anymore of their innocence. Raising children is not easy or for the faint of heart.
Like cops everywhere, I think I have been exposed to more evil people  than most. As a rookie cop, I was ordered to guard a man who only hours earlier had committed an atrocious crime against all the members of his family. In the awkward stillness of the conference room there really was nothing for us to say to each other. We just periodically caught each others gaze.. That evening and countless occasions since, I have looked and or spoken with people who have committed unspeakable crimes. Unfortunately, evil people do not have a specific color of skin, style of hair or a certain look in their eyes. You just don't know. You really never know where evil lurks.
A few years ago, a civilian reporter joined me on a ride-a-long. After we left a particularly vicious crime scene, she asked me if I believed the spirit of man was good or evil. I think I surprised her when I answered quickly, "overwhelmingly good". She had a surprised look on her face which was illuminated by the red colored lights from the radio and other emergency equipment on the dashboard of my patrol car. She then challenged me, "but you have been going to these scenes most of your career. How can you still believe people are generally good? I then told her a story, (read more).

 Burglary Strikes again at 4S Ranch Sports Park
Last week, one of our readers had their car broken into in the parking lot of the 4S Ranch Park at about 8:30 in the morning. Their wallet and other belongings were taken. Here are some tips on how to avoid vehicle break-ins:
1)Park your car in a visible and well lit area if possible.
2)Keep windows and sunroofs closed, and lock your doors.
3)Hide your valuables and/or lock them in your trunk.
4)Activate your alarm and/or use other anti-theft devices.
If you see suspicious activity or possible vehicle theft, alert the authorities. This is the second theft in seven days in 4S Ranch Community Park. Report any suspicious activity.
Getting Fit Has Gone Mobile 4S Ranch Sports Park has a "Smart" solution  to getting fit. The park now features it's new Quick Response (QR) Fit Trail. The 5 stations will allow you to download the Application to your Apple, Android or Blackberry product. Once you scan the QR code with your mobile device, you can watch up to four one minute exercises that will change periodically. The half-mile loop is very manageable for beginners.

Mole Report 
The 92127 Mole has been in a great mood lately. His Vespa scooter has been running well and he laughs whenever he sees Theresa and I and our
kids in the Infinity QX56. It seems I am always filling up our gas tank when I see him. The Mole has been yelling out, "How's that gas mileage working for ya boss"? I admit it. He sometimes gets under my skin.
The Mole turned off his scooter and chewed on his unlit cigar as we
talked about the comings and goings in 92127. I told him his information was correct about 31 Flavors, Karl Strauss and even Nordstrom's Rack new store openings. The mole must have just come from Opening Day at Del Mar. He had a silly checkered jacket on and sounded boastful, "Boss, in honor of Del Mar race season starting, I think I called the perfect Trifecta"!
I was thinking he was just pushing for a raise as I continued filling
our car with gas. He then said, "I think I got a long shot coming
in". I responded, "OK Mole, let's hear it". Mole replied, " I've been seeing allot of action in the vacant retail location next to Baskin Robbins Ice Cream in the old Blockbuster Video space. I hears if you like Chipotle's fast food restaurant you could be a happy man".  Mole emphasized not all the papers have been signed yet, but the architectural plans include an outdoor eating area on the west side of the building next to Wendy's. I told Mole, that if he gets this one right I will consider giving him a raise or at least buying him a new jacket.

| (Continued...) |

 It was my very first graveyard shift in Logan Heights in the turbulent eighties. I walked into the, "line-up" room and there was only about five other police officers and a sergeant assigned to work the entire area from Harbor Drive to almost North Park. An area that included street names names like Logan Ave, Market St., and Imperial Ave. I remember thinking, "this is it"? No more cops? How are we ever going to keep us and the thousands upon thousands of people in this poor neighborhood safe for the next eight hours? I quickly found out the vast majority of people are honest, non violent, caring people, who love their children as much or more than we do. During those years, I did not get very many five finger waives while on patrol, but I think most people respected and appreciated police officers.
Being a cop or citizen you need to look for good. We are constantly surrounded by good if you just look for it. Just this week, an unknown woman who wished to remain anonymous walked into our Community Hub and gave forty dollars in cash towards a fund to help Scott replace his little dog killed last week, (read story here). That is just a glance at the majority of people out there. Don't ever loose sight of that.
I won't let the events of Colorado change my belief in the positive spirit of men or women. Or stop our family from going to and enjoying movies, just as I will not let terrorists dissuade us from ever flying. I think I will likely remain both mad and sad for quite awhile. I will start by saying a prayer for the victims and their families. Even though I will preach how I will not outwardly change my actions or that of our family, I also know for while watching a movie with our kids, I will be glancing periodically at that exit door. That is such a shame.
Be sure to enjoy the goodness in people and your family. Our family hopes you are having a great summer.
To many of our friends traveling oversees the next few weeks may your hotel rooms be large, the beer cold, and the sunsets amazing.
Warmly,
Ray & Theresa Shay
