If the guy had anything worth stealing, he wouldn’t be homeless. The perps are doubly dangerous; violent and stupid. I bet that meth enters into this story at some point.

Let’s not miss the point in hopes of going to the racist card once again. Three thugs robbed a man with physical violence then casually wandered down the street. No need to run as it appears they hung out on the corner almost tauntingly.


So pathetic.

Curious to know how much money the homeless guy had. We’re the police able to recover his iPhone?

People are so miserable and unhappy these days—everywhere. Crime and suffering are rampant and even a small-town online newspaper that posts about it sees comments that immediately create yet another disagreement. People right away drag in race, political candidates, demographics…anything they can. Like kids who just can’t get along….we need to police to be the “adult” in many situations (and many times–even that goes poorly).That is the nature of humans with out of control, immature emotions and undisciplined minds. Keep praying for a giant asteroid. Eventually, we will get one….hopefully.

Wow! mkanney, I’m not sure what is worse; the heartless, thugs that perpetrated this horrendous act of cruelty or your blatant exploitation of it to further your personal agenda.

Three white kids beating a homeless Mexican. This is just the beginning if you racists don’t go back in the closet and keep your damn mouths shut. You’ve all felt emboldened lately, with Trump making it popular. Not one of the anti-illegal immigrant arguments, other than the simple fact that it is a violation of the law, holds water. All you do is cherry pick your information. Grow up or at least please shut up because that last thing we need is for your stupid comments to embolden a bunch of white trash to go out and do this sort of thing on a regular basis.

This is not Louisiana, let’s keep it that way.

Unfortunately, nothing new here. This is common behavior in Santa Maria. The real story is what they end doing with these guys. Why any normal intellectual person woud live or visit Santa Maria is beyond me. Use to be a nice place now, Danger City! No one is safe…Another sanctuary city lifestyle!

I don’t even like to visit Santa Maria.

First off, I am hoping that Victim Witness Programs protects this man and keeps him around to testify. Second, young people often target the homeless, regardless of race, and third, racism goes both ways. Let’s all drop the hating.

If you look at the pictures of the 2 adults booked for assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, and conspiracy, they both appear to be partly Hispanic themselves. Sometimes, you can’t go completely by the name.


Also, you call the homeless man “Mexican”. Again, he could very well be a US citizen with an Hispanic name. Nothing has been said about his being a Mexican National, or legal /illegal immigrant.


As for Louisiana, if you’re saying that everyone there is racist, then I can say that people in Mexico are more racist, especially to Blacks and indigenous people. And I’ve spent time in both places.
