Well, we found out what the commotion in Barstow’s all about. Mayor Joe Gomez has been accused of sexual battery.
And he’s been “out of town” since Sunday.
Wherever he is, it seems he’s already got himself an attorney to represent him.
Interesting stuff going on in Barstow!
San Bernardino County Sheriffs are investigating Barstow Mayor Joe Gomez, but it hasn’t been revealed why yet.
I wonder what he did.
Whatever happened, happened in an unincorporated section of Barstow. Was he using drugs? Hanging out with hookers?
Two soldiers were arrested for the death of 29-year-old Sandi Lee Duncan, of Barstow. Duncan is also a former soldier, and went to school with the soldiers in question.
While this is truly a tragic event, I’d like to take this opportunity to dispel a rather common myth that is propagated in patriotic circles all over the United States.
First, of course, a disclaimer; I agree that soldiers, sailors, and airmen should be thanked for their service. Ben Moreno, a Desert Dog, is former military.
What I’m seeking, however, is a somewhat more reasonable approach to those in the military.
They are, after all, humans like all of us, and shouldn’t be deified to the level that they often are, especially in the ’socially conservative’ circles.
In the words of George Carlin, “Stop that!”
