MORE FROM THE "NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED" FILE

by Bob Walsh

There were two homicides recently in the crime-ridden and gang-infested hole that is Stockton that demonstrate this old adage most admirably.

At above 7:30 p.m. the local constabulary responded to a senior citizens home on East March Lane. They discovered an 80-year-old man had died of a heart attack while attempting to assist an elderly female resident who was being robbed in her room by an intruder. This facility is generally considered to be a very nice place but it would seem that have some security issues.

On Tuesday evening Ricardo Valenzuela Jr, 29, was shot to death when he and some of his relatives intervened in a domestic dispute. Valenzuela's brother was also shot numerous times, but survived.

In neither case has an arrest been made or the miscreant identified.

Today's technology should dictate that relatives, not the employees should keep a camera in the rest home room that records 24 - 7 and can be monitored by a smart phone. Believe me once the staff knows it's there they won't steal from or abuse any more loved ones.
