The late George Hobbes was right. If you have been around SB County for at least 25 years, you know, but nowadays we are not allowed to say it.
An adult shooting a kid? OMG. In other news, a 19 year old is arrested for two separate felony robberies, threatening use of a gun. And another arrested for robbing a liquor store. That’s just one day of life in the pit….Santa Maria.
