Oh that's right!~ I forgot about the movie! Holy crow..I'm gonna be scared again!

The biggest thing I remember is that they said they would cut through screen doors to get in the houses..and at that time in rural missouri, in the summer, we ALWAYS slept with our doors open and just the screen doors between us and the bugs...
That was SUCH a traumatic time for me..I'm serious! Oh...I need to go to my happy place...

actually - california has but 11 people to death from 96-06

Clarence Ray Allen in 06, tookie williams (founder of the Crips) in 2005 (i was there for it...i was so happy )

11 is no where near where they need to be.

But Tookie was such a good person. He reformed himself in prison and he even helped write some children's books to get kids to stay away from gangs (I remember when they were in our warehouse, lol).

Oh yeah, he killed those people in the 7-Eleven and the Brookhaven Hotel. Praise be to Gov. Schwarzenegger!
