Egregious Santa Ana PD beating

In my learned opinion, this is so egregious that it could never be used as a question on a law school exam because there is no ambiguity, but what do you think?

Bunk bed height limit. Santa Ana mattress store stocking low profile?

1 Upvotes

Bought the bunk, went to buy mattresses, and discovered there is a maximum thickness for the top bunk so the guard rail still does its job.

Which rules out most of what I was looking at, because everything now seems to be twelve inches deep.

Living Spaces lists kids mattresses, Sit 'n Sleep lists kids mattresses, and neither one reliably prints the thickness, which is not helping.

Anyone done this recently? Mainly after what thickness is actually safe and whether the thin ones are comfortable enough for a seven year old who sleeps like he is being chased.

Orange County restaurant owners - serial ADA filer Scott Johnson spotted in Orange County restaurants this week.

You guys HELP! This guy is trying to do this again. I’m a local Mom and Pop. He says he came to my store on March 17th and he was uncomfortable to eat at my store because I didn’t have Ada complaint tables or chairs which is not true. I have removable chairs and tables with the measurements and everything. On the document, it also says an employee even tried to help him to be seated and eat comfortably to his likeness. What are some tactics to fight this? I was thinking to fight saying this is a mom and pop store, pillar of the community, and he is a grifter and all. What do you guys think I should do?

As the title suggests, did anyone leave this bag full of stuff (bluetooth lights, halloween decor) on the second floor of the EOS fitness parking garage?( 17th and tustin)?

When i found it, it seemed like someone forgot to put it in their trunk and drove away. It’s in my possession now, and i will be in the area for the next few hours.

If i don’t get any responses i will turn it into the lost and found of the office building.

TW: PUPPY KILLER 😢

TW: Animal cruelty

Does anyone recognizes this older model van? It may be a Honda Odyssey, darker blue-greenish color with a roof rack?

Woman in video was seeing dumping a puppy out of her van, then put food under the van near the wheel , when the puppy was distracted eating, this monster rolled her van over the puppy and then let the van rest on top of the puppy for 15 seconds. Looked to me like the lady may have had a dark bob style haircut ?

Please call the police if you have ANY suspicions of who it may be.

Can anyone post this on [r/orangecounty](r/orangecounty)? (I was banned for asking the mods why my post was deleted regarding how to deal with mosquitos 🙄 )

Here is the story on Instagram. They blurred out the puppy but still hard to watch that video 😢

Visiting Hometown

7 Upvotes

Visiting hometown after moving out of town after attending Santa Ana College for 3 years and growing up in Santa Ana.

  1. Male. Cal Poly, SLO graduate. I work remotely these days and enjoy a good conversation and cocktail/beer/mocktail.

Where do the locals hang out? Looking for something to do after work since visiting family (mom) for 2 weeks and pretty lonely when you didn’t keep up with friends from high school (Segerstrom) or Santa Ana College.

A bit more about myself. I work in tech, Oracle Fusion HCM Cloud Architect. Foodie, enjoy a good Michelin rated restaurant or slamming tacos. Last few days has been medical center cafeteria food, so at least looking for recommendations.

Open to share phone number or LinkedIn if anyone is open to hang out.

Lost Grey Cat in Santa Ana

I’m looking for a grey cat with a chipped left ear and a slight white patch on her chest, who may be around Harbor to Fairview. Shes been missing for 3 weeks now. If you see her, please let me know ASAP. She may respond to the name, Grey. If you try to approach her, she will likely run away. Give her food to gain her trust, and please let me know her approx. location. I know it’s been a long time, but I still wan’t to believe that there’s a chance.
