Setting a car on fire is extremely dangerous and could have resulted in deaths if noises did not awaken the councilman and neighbor. This is a mob type crime,or something someone with criminal experience would attempt not your average Joe. Mr. Buckley is a good person who has improved our city. If this was done on purpose I hope he fights back in full force, no room for fear thats what a bully law breaker counts on.

I am an expert markman and haven't used it for a while, but if I have to I will. My ribbon is white, I never understood why a marksman received a white ribbon, my aim and eyesight are jsut as good today as they were then, and the arms are have are very sufficient.

To BOB:
Thats not just Lake Elsinore. You must live in Murrimecula, the two cities that are sooooo safe but, the same non the less. Population, Mortgage brokers, real estate agents, used car salesmen, and the like. Crime from a different perspective.

I like Lake Elsinore but I have to admit that this doesn't come as a surprise to me. Maybe the city should open up a monitored area where kids can openly graffiti and express themselves in a POSITIVE way.

what goes around comes around wrote on Jul 22, 2008 2:43 PM:The City Hired a Guy in the Past to Install campain signs and shoot at peoples Homes and Familys, as well as fires in peoples yards, and destroy properties , so the city would buldoze it ,then a city official would buy it. The L.E cops would do nothing ,due to the city connections, in the 1980-1989. He Drove a lime green truck.
What went around in the past has returned full circle. In the old days
This is how the city operated in the old days, to get people to leave town. I dont think its the Kids, good try on changing the subject. My family was a victim of this, in the past

years. This is gone on ever since I've
been here. I'm surprised they did't try to flood him out like the city does.

its true wrote on Jul 22, 2008 4:07 PM:Bob , thanks for your comment. Yes its been going on for the 30+ years Since I have been in town. Thank you for bringing up the fact that the city flooded the town to devalue many elderly peoples homes and land, so they bought almost the whole lake bottom in the 1980s.
Now 20 years Later the Planning Dept
has devalued all the land downtown and along lakeshore. Now they are buying more land with rda money at a steep discount. Only if the landowners have a clue on whats going on.
