Ricardo Romo, 30, was taken into custody near his home on the 200 block of Savona Avenue in Goleta. He was booked into County Jail with a requested bail amount of $250,000.

Hey Hank, dude, why didn't you tell me your real name was Ricardo? DM says you can come stay at his house for some TLC when you're out.

HAHAHAHA! You know, Enrique IS kind of close to Ricardo (Enreekee - Reekee), but not close enough.
Thanks for the invite Don, but my "progressiveness" is lacking & therefore have to decline the stay & TLC.
No, we ain't got a gang problem, it's a figment of the "vast right wing conservative conspiracy" mentality. HAHAHA!
Wait until you're @ the receiving end of a 9mm round from a thug like this then tell me that, granted you survive.
So he got popped w/ a TEC-9? Crappy, unfunctional firepower. If you're gonna be hardcore you gotta go MP-5 ese :) henry

The drugs were medicinal, and the gang tattoos just indicate a close bond to the neighborhood he lives in. And if anybody out there believes that, I have a bridge to sell you.

Hard to believe psychoanalysts and psychologists once prescribed meth to their patients to encourage them to talk. I guess that's where the valium came in to calm them down.
