  1. So much for hatin on the homeless as the great in his own mind Oscar Goodman wanted? In fact, in this yet to be concluded holiday season I do believe that this makes the fourth fatality due to domestic violence. And, as a consequence, certain questions need to be asked about what this city is after a near decade of the greatest mayor ever. In other words, has it not become nothing other than a caricature of a fake gangster? Or, is the supposed glitter capital that knows how to get away with sin, indeed draped with cocktail waitresses for each and every post fifty year old male (or if you're sisolak something even worse!!) is this not the Shangri-La not even capable of problems? Yea, right!!! Interesting situation this Sunday morning as a NLV officer came down around the "homeless corridor" for a simple traffic accident he made sure he had his hands on his hip to reveal his pretty little revolver. African American officer who I noticed staring at passer bys in a, "don't you wish you were me" kinda way was getting his swagger on!!! And I wonder where he got the impression to be so, fake?!?!?! Hey, too bad he didn't have his act together for real crime, huh? Like locking up the rich people who caused this ditch..."bet" his act in the suburbs is decidedly different...if he's allowed there during dark that is...or if NLV really has any suburbs, anymore!!! THANKS OSCAR YOU AND THE MISSES ARE THE GREATEST EVER, NOT!!!

  4. till1671:

    What does Oscar Goodman and the homeless have to do with this crime? Your post is totally unrelated to this article.

  5. det...munch, if you say my post is unrelated then maybe ur ability to think critically is sorely lacking. after all, goodman grandstanded about the homeless, not homelessness, and all the while a legacy of leading the nation in the latter occurred; and with it now a similar ranking for deaths due to domestic violence. his vision could not have been poorer, unless ur a megacasino owner so that his manipulations allowed most las vegans 2 believe they were safe because of his witch hunting. similarly, and this is also calculated, his lifestyle promoted gangsterism he would show the world how to have fun with. tourism soared, sure. but wages suffered as the status quo was allowed to continue to have it believed all citizens would ultimately be succesful due to goodman's leadership. the reality is that the man was a horrible example of misusing his position through propaganda that was of a fascist type and death, yes death is his legacy along with sickening profits for a tiny few: got it?!?!?! (AND JUST IN CASE YOU DON'T: AGAIN, LV LEADS IN DEATHS DUE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WHEN PEOPLE WERE REPEATEDLY TOLD THE FEAR WAS ELSEWHERE) but, hey, you're probably busy with ur gameboy to even realize the man's wife is somehow now mayor, thanks!!!

  6. So much violence in north Las Vegas, every day there is a fatality, that's in a good day, today wasn't so good, there was two
