- Taggers can’t resist a white wall and store owners are getting fined for murals - The Antonio family has a store (featured right) in highland park and the side of the building seems to attract taggers like flies to honey. After painting over the graffiti “More than 100 times,” stated the father, they were told that if they asked an artist to paint a mural that the taggers would respect it. And it worked! Until City Hall slapped them with $1,000 fine for the mural and they had to repaint the wall which sent the hoards back. Stupid City Hall.

- Luiseno Indians want the law to stay on their own turf -The chairman of the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians wants tribe members to receive state law enforcement training so that they can patrol the reservation instead of Riverside County sheriff’s deputies, whom the tribe has clashed with and caused many shoot outs in recent months. “Then they could enforce state laws on Indian country, and then the sheriff’s department wouldn’t have to be responsible for that,” Knudson said. Earlier this month, the state corrections department ordered all parolees to leave the reservation, saying the area was unsafe for officers to enter. In May, three tribe members armed with assault rifles were killed in gunfights with deputies, some of whom were shot at as they patrolled the area in a helicopter.
