Once again, Santa Barbara High School, aided and abetted by non-functioning parents, has taken malleable children and, in four years or less, turned monsters back into our community. We now have a SBHS culture of smokin' dank, flashing pseudo gang signs on Facebook pages, ubiquitous neck tats and ultimate fighting competitions morphing into violent, heroin addicted, non-functioning members of society who nevertheless feel entitled to procreate and begin the cycle all over again. Go Dons!!

By going to the police, the 67 year old man may have saved the life of the 3 year old boy.

.I knew this kid many years ago that ran in front of a guys new Cadallic on State street faked an injury the guy took him in fed him gave him money etc. One day he told me that he was going to rob the man of his Gold Records the man was a well known recording artist. I turned the kid in I wasn't going to let that happen. At first I thought the kid was injured I fell for it too.. It's sad there are so many scam jerks in Santa Barbara they would better serve purpose as Chum.. I have turned in alot of people through the years for that sort of thing. Another time when I was still a smoker a young guy offered to sell me cartons of Marlboros for 15.00 a carton that is when they were 30 a carton. I bought like 7 of them. Found out he was buying the cigarettes with his Fathers credit card. His father was at home on the floor he had suffered a stroke instead of calling 911 his kid ripped off his credit cards and was cashing in. I called the cops gave them most of the cigarettes and ate a hundred bucks..

I once made a right turn where a strange-looking man was standing on the sidewalk (he may have been a transient). He was so odd-looking, I watched him during the entire turn. Must have been my spidy-sense.

To my surprise, as I passed the man, he entered the crosswalk and faked a fall, yelling loudly the entire time. Of course, my car never came close to the man. What a scam.

I am glad this scam was widely publicized, it or some similar scam will probably be attempted again by some druggie.

Good for the victim for contacting the SBPD that is always the right course of action.

Why do these addicts keep their children, there are loving homes out there that will care for them. I guess it's about that additional welfare check for every child you have. Poor children who live in these homes and there are plenty of them in SB.

The evolved American family model. All three will be on the public tit in one way or another in the future. Bad attitudes, bad habits, spoiled, and non productive. Lot's to fix and not easy to teach old dogs new tricks. Pray for the kid.

Scum of the earth, low life morons. You two both deserve prison time, with a long sentence. How dare you approach an innocent person, harassing him, attempting to draw him into your own delusions. I hope the book is thrown hard at you each, and that your innocent child gets a loving home.

Drugs do this. Wonder what their gate-way drug to heroin was. As long as 10% abuse illegal drugs, keep them illegal for everyone. Zero tolerance. And that includes alcohol too. Look at the lines outside the new Bevmo and ask yourself why you keep tolerating this waste of money and lives.

Homegrown scumbags. Both were born in SB and attended local schools.

Every once in awhile I run into people with that type of backround bullying. One time I got robbed at knife point right out in front of my home and I gave the money up I was scared. Afew years later I ran into the same man in front of my house about a year ago now. He greeted me warmly as if we had been friends for many years. I stared at him like What the ??? I can't remember what I did but he took off, disappeared. Gotta get me in the right mood I guess...I wish I would have been that old man that this guy yelled at.

Matthew and Alexis need to spend some time in the big house and get their lives straightened out. Too bad they have alredy damaged their baby son - shame on them for their selfish, narcissistic lifestyles. Yay for the "victim" of this crime who wouldn't be bullied into submission and yay for law enforcement who listened to and stuck with the man until the bitter end. Hopefully it will be a bitter end for these two spoiled brats.
