“Either way”? Either way…WHAT? You should clarify, because right now it seems like you’re implying his life is worth less because he was arrested 2 years ago. Why do you find it necessary to parade this unrelated connection you’ve found?
Is this the same guy killed on motorcycle in goleta a couple days ago?
“early morning hours of 11/19/2018, members of the Sheriff’s Special Investigations Bureau and the Goleta City Police served a search warrant in the 300 block of Ellwood Beach Drive, which was related to a narcotics sales investigation. During the search warrant, deputies located over an ounce of methamphetamine, half an ounce of heroin, and other items indicative of narcotics sales. As a result of the investigation, 56-year-old Daniel Lee Harris of Goleta was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and heroin for the purpose of sales. Harris was later booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail and he is being held on $35,000 bail.”
Whoa 4:24, take a deep breath. It could mean that he was under the influence but regardless of a possible DUI its a crappy way to die.
All lives matter, we are just curious if this same guy. Maybe he got.clean and was on the right side of the law since. RIP daniel..
SEABIRD you’re absolutely right of course. But we are in the Era of “Despicable Me”. With Glorious Leader dragging moral standards through the muck and mire it’s no wonder ordinary folks are just parroting and mimicking.
