ONLY A GOLD RUSH MINING TOWN AFTER DARK’S GONNA HOLD A CANDLE TO DOWNTOWN FULLERTON. STEP RIGHT UP AND DON’T BE SHY BUT MOVE ALONG OR ELSE…
Want to catch just one more look into her eyes after dinner? Why go anywhere else? Why wait for the Vegas bullet train to roll into town? Downtown’s got it all north of the tracks after dark ladies and gentlemen. What is your forte, aggressive pan handling, street circuses, drugs for sale, pot smoking with the pungent odor of skunk bud? Maybe you have a taste for the underage with fake ID’s. How about the scantily clad?
Perhaps you can appreciate, upon disembarking your vehicle in the $30,000 taxpayer funded parking stall, the visual appeal of feces and vomit plastered to the walls that haven’t been cleaned for months all the while as you approach the elevator, the aroma of urine fills the air. You can thank the frat boys over at Cal State Fullerton for the uric acid eau de toilette, the homeboys that Amtrak brought in on the sundowner, the IE crew that heads south for the winter or the grove crowd that moves north for the evening in search of cheap thrills on higher ground. Let us not forget that in addition to all of the aforementioned, as a direct result of the Fullerton Police Department’s televised execution of Kelly Thomas, Fullerton is now a homeless sanctuary city plopped right in the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard with no public restrooms or showers. Now its downtown has got people urinating, defecating, slamming heroin, smoking crack, pimpin’, vandalizing cars flanked by broken bottles, street rumbles, threats of physical harm, boxing matches not to be outdone by people pretending to be passed out on the stairs in parking structures looking up women’s skirts. These are not just my assertions folks, I have backup that begins at 3 hours and 8 minutes and 50 seconds-http://fullerton.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=598
Last call before things get out of hand.
Oh the parking structures. Yes build it and they will come. An unsupervised oasis with a declared open season on catalytic converters and drunk hot chicks as they are left unattended and on display and for the taking. Yes the huge magnet to all scrap metal recyclers, eligible bachelors, singles, married, perverts and everyone else looking for a quick buck and a good time is aimed in all four directions and energized at maximum Gauss levels just about every night here in our hometown.
Oh the vehicle theft, vandalism, rapes, the groping, replete with people having sex in corners, doing drugs in corners, drinking in corners, minors, addicts DTF has them all. Condoms, day after pills, used condoms, needles. The homeless, the bar patrons, the out of towners, the students, the residents, the residents children, the city leaders, the city leaders children, the establishment, the establishments offspring, heck everyone is welcome. Harassment, threats of robbery, rape and molestation await. Slow, little or no response from police is what has been alleged. How did we get to this point?
Yes this is the legacy that the Fullerton Establishment has bequeathed us with the restaurant overlay district where liquor licenses were handed out by a bunch of dolts like lollipops on halloween.
We now have a 2 am Freemont street experience every night with EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR POLICE PRESENCE, ENFORCEMENT AND THE LIGHT SHOW ON THE CEILING. I guess the sights are too good inside and around the clubs for Fullerton’s finest to watch the structures where thousands of visitors return to their cars. Man if I was the police chief, I would have everyone working 24 hour shifts to include Friday and Saturday nights and place them right at the exits to SOCO and the structures so they could shoot the drunk ducks in the barrel and load them into the paddy wagons. No instead we don’t have the money, resources or staff to guard our infrastructure thanks to who?
Is that you Joe?
So Fullerton’s downtown Freemont Street Experience actually costs the city more in policing and related costs than it brings in in sales tax revenue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All roads lead to Rome or do they?
NOW ON TOP OF THAT, WE HAVE BUILT THE LIQUOR MAFIA A PARKING STRUCTURE WITH TAX MONEY, GIVEN AWAY A PUBLIC SIDEWALK TO JOE FLORENTINE, AND NOW WE ARE ABOUT TO ALLOW THE LIQUOR MAFIA TO DOUBLE THEIR OCCUPANCY WITH FREE PARKING INSIDE A PUBLIC PARKING STRUCTURE THAT WAS BUILT WITH YOUR TAX MONEY?
NOW THE BAR OWNERS WANT TO DOUBLE THEIR OCCUPANCY WHICH WILL MORE THAN DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF DRUNKS AND DRUNK DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.
TUESDAY NIGHT THE CITY COUNCIL WILL VOTE TO DO THIS.
Look at the proposed municipal code amendment
Last time I checked, WE ALREADY HAD ENOUGH of the dangerous, seedy, inappropriate activity. We have residents who have repeatedly been complaining about all of the aforementioned and the cops still aren’t hauling these people away? Where has general services been if there is fecal matter and vomit caked all over these places for months? Are you kidding me? Someone call the health department on these guys.
Welcome to Fullerton and no, this is not some council candidate’s market.
The bygone era when students strived to reach the moon . Now they are on the road to nowhere as they moon each other while we fall off the economic cliff. Folks, Fullerton needs real leaders and not high paid lackeys that mismanage our hard earned money while they green light the evisceration of our rights along side the alcoholic destruction of our youth in the open air sewer that these so called pillars of the community built and continue to operate with our subsidies.
I will not allow FOR MORE DEAD BODIES TO STACK UP FROM THE DRUNK DRIVERS
These booze and brothel owners don’t want to hire their own version of Blackwater to patrol the pavement in these tilt ups that Hughes and Felz could never seem to get under control with a 200 million dollar budget that can’t even spring for an outhouse and a standing army that apparently can’t read the penal code half the time?
You want solutions? Here are the solutions. Agendize this:
Place on duty officers with breathalyzers at the all the exits to all the parking lots and the parking structure.
Run DUI checkpoints every weekend down there.
Install cameras and hire a security company to patrol the lots. Hire a maintenance company to clean them nightly. Charge for parking with merchant validation. Track the parking validations and pass the cost of all of this on to the merchants by charging merchant fees commensurate with usage.
Yes-tax the businesses that use the structure-all of them. Add a surcharge on any of them with an ABC license. Public restrooms need to be strategically built downtown and yes they will need to be maintained.
THE CITY OFFICIALS have failed the residents of Fullerton. You have failed to spend our tax dollars wisely and you have failed to protect the people who pay the taxes to pay your salaries. You have have put the public in grave danger as you both have allowed things to get out of control all the while the tools at your disposal have been misused in allowing this nightmare on elm street to end up on Fullerton’s main street.
Granting an increase in occupancy is not the answer to downtown’s crime problems. The answer is common sense which they seem to clearly lack when it comes to solving this multifaceted problem. Maybe my wife and I with our friends will just go down to Anaheim for our night on the town knowing that at least some of our sales tax revenue generated in Anaheim will go to provide reverse osmosis filtered water for its residents while Fullerton pipes in halide toxicity in return for the empty beer bottles, vomit, and feces plastered all over the walls that some of you all in city hall have mistaken for some sort of a mural.
Fullerton’s best days are still ahead so stay tuned and-don’t forget to turn off that WiFi-your grandchildren will thank you.

There is a FPD Consent Item on the Agenda for $240K for purchasing an additional 160 assault rifles. There is the new Police Chief sitting on the dais as he has done every council meeting since his recent appointment.
Why is it out of line to ask him to respond to an Agenda Item that he clearly has demonstrated he does not want to present based on the decision to put this wrongly on the Consent Calendar and not the Regular Business Calendar as would be the proper thing to do?
If asking him a question is out of line according to Fitzgerald and Whitaker then what the heck is he sitting there for! Is he just supposed to be furniture or window dressing but not to be addressed by the public that pays him over $300,000 a year in salary and benefits. I say if the council thinks it is beneath our new police chief to answer to an item that was intentionally put on the calendar to not be discussed than I say send the bureaucrat home and put somebody in his place that will add something during city council meetings.
