I pass by this bus stop often and there was always a middle aged homeless guy who basically lived in the bus stop with his shopping cart full of stuff. I assume that bus stop guy was Lewis. I was surprised he was able to hang out there constantly, but I guess he kept to himself and didn’t cause problems, until this punk Velasques decided to try to oust him and claim the bus stop as his own.

According to his facebook video he likes to chill in SLO. https://www.facebook.com/israel.velasquez.313371/videos/171392266897446

Surprise, surprise… his facebook is full of talk about smoking pot all day. Another poster child for the legalization movement. “From Paso Robles, California” please go back to Paso and stay out of SLO city.

So very awful, as we have NO Chief of Police, the SLOPD is like a ship adrift without a Captain, crime is up, protesters are doing what ever they want, auto burglaries up, home break-in’s Up, assaults are Up, Sexual Assaults, are Up every crime is up in SLO.


No leadership in the Police Dept.
