What wrote on Jul 2, 2008 10:22 AM:What is a blank man? At least you got the Latino right!!

Brazen Low-life wrote on Jul 2, 2008 10:23 AM:So n ow we are not safe in our own homes. Is it the economy? No, just the pool of low life living next door to any of us. Buy stock in security, alarm, lock companies and sad to say, arm yourself. We'll never go 'gun-less' as other countries with LOW crime rates, so why just hold up our hands? FIGHT BACK! Is self-defense still a right? That poor woman must be totally traumatized; one does not easily recover from that kind of invasion. Catch the dirt bags please!

NCT Pssst wrote on Jul 2, 2008 10:27 AM:The robbers, described as a blank man and a Latino man, both in their 20s, did not hurt the woman, police said.

What is a BLANK man?

A BLANK man wrote on Jul 2, 2008 10:37 AM:is the politically correct name for a BLACK man.

Lisa wrote on Jul 2, 2008 11:06 AM:A blank man is an idiot that goes around robbing people.
We have a lot of blank men/women roaming around the streets. Useless to society and thinking that they are cool.

Paco wrote on Jul 2, 2008 11:43 AM:How did they get in? How long did it take for police to respond after they got the alarm? How did they arrive and flee? What was the vehicle descreption if they used a car? All of you so pleased with yourselves about finding a typo ought to confront the writers about how much was left out of this story.

If I wrote on Jul 2, 2008 11:45 AM:had written this story, I wouldn't put my name on it either!

Im a blank wrote on Jul 2, 2008 11:53 AM:man, you gotta problem with that?
I sure do

jvc wrote on Jul 2, 2008 11:55 AM:Could Black or Latino men be described as such given that Black and
Latino looking people can be found in many countries!AND,there is no such
human that is the color of black or
blank! A color blind society,indeed!

Attention wrote on Jul 2, 2008 12:22 PM:Police are on the look out for a Blank man, description not avaiable at this time. If spotted please contact the authorities at once.

Greg in Oceanside wrote on Jul 2, 2008 12:47 PM:Com on people, it was a typo. The important issue here is that a home was broken into (aka home envasion) and the resident was robbed in one of Oceanside's nicer neighborhoods. Let's hope OPD catches these thugs, and quick.

So, What area of town did this happen?

The needed money for the fireworks wrote on Jul 2, 2008 2:28 PM:Or they were getting ready for the 4th and started practicing on households! Gotta keep those robbing skills up! See you at the 4th in Oceanside!

Greg in Oceanside wrote on Jul 2, 2008 2:31 PM:LOL, you caught mine? (There were a couple of typographical errors in my post.) Nonetheless, the bottom line is that this home invasion occurred in one of Oceanside's upscale neighborhoods. So, people, no matter where they live, are not immune to these sorts of crimes. With the economy in a recessionary period, and crime on the rise, we should look out for our neighbors and report anyone suspicious to the police.

April NC Times Drop in Crime wrote on Jul 2, 2008 2:32 PM:"...Oceanside's violent crime rate dropped 4 percent, while its property crime rate dropped 7 percent.

"The face of Oceanside is changing and this is just one example of it," Oceanside police Chief Frank McCoy Jr. said last month in discussing the drops."

Thanks, for letting your greedy hearts/minds and soulless being create one of the worst situations in US history. You bought hype, now we suffer from it. Freemasons and Illuminati are laughy at us, as we play it this maze and rat race of life ! Thank you again to you that voted for Bush !

esteban wrote on Jul 2, 2008 6:57 PM:It reads "blank man" because some judges said we couldn't print the words "black man" anymore. It offended some people.

A Blank Man wrote on Jul 2, 2008 8:01 PM:One was a black guy and the other a Latino man. That seriously narrows it down.

CITIZEN AT RISK wrote on Jul 2, 2008 8:25 PM:TO NCT: Ask the victim if it hurt when her home was invaded,intimidated, tied-up and when the thugs took her cash and jewelry. It would hurt me but I have a 12 gauge boomer - and it's not loaded with blanks.

jvc wrote on Jul 3, 2008 8:10 AM:There are many ways to describe a suspect...height, weight,apparel and if dark or light skinned,
etc..but to tryto describe by race is not one of them because a race is hard to describe!
Also,it is bad to attempt to describe by race because of a danger of typecasting!

I am glad I brought wrote on Jul 3, 2008 8:16 AM:my glasses to work today, I could of sworn it said blank man yesterday. Oh well just one of the many joys of growing old, now what was I talking about?

RESIDENT AT RISK wrote on Jul 3, 2008 8:15 PM:TO JVC: To avoid "typecasting" and profiling at all costs the cops should seach for and question an equal number of tall blonde Swedish nuns, blue-haired senior women on walkers and others. Go PC! Go Green! Go Cops!
