The end of two very young lives.


We should ban cars.

Or…


Maybe we should ban drinking and driving? Wait…

Or, silly and insensitive comments while a family and loved ones grieve.

Cruel irony and sadness of life. Mr Garland’s family and society lose a promising young man with what would have been a bright future.


Society remains stuck with the loser who caused his death.

I think of the many trips between MB and LO on that stretch of road…that time of day…that could have been me, my daughter, my grandson…


My heart breaks for the Garland family’s loss…knowing that the same loss could very easily have been mine.


To the D.A.: Do NOT send the wrong message here. Do NOT let this man plead out for anything LESS than the maximum punishment that he deserves.

His only chance to plead out, or walk with no jail time, no fine and even nothing on his record, will be if he is the son of the right person, friend of the right person or actually a LEO or judge. Remember Alex Forster, his father, Michael Forster, who owned Power Save Energy Co. in San Luis Obispo, had the right contacts and made enough money to receive “special treatment”. Where as Kaylee Ann Weisenberg had no such friends or family with the right contacts and as such received no “special treatment”


Didn’t our outgoing D.A. Mr. Shea have his hand in both these cases??

Well said. Let us hope that incoming D.A. Dan Dow runs that office with more integrity than his predecessor.

No knock against Mr. Dow, but since Mr. Shea had no integrity Mr. Dow won’t have to have much to beat Mr. Shea.
