That so called racist shallow comment was told to me by three very good friends who are very proud hard working DWP employees who live here in the Owens Valley.
It’s good they can joke about themselves. I’m sorry if it offended someone.
I think Mr. Vaughan should automatically get 5 years just for that hilarious mugshot.
sounds like a reality show gone bad.
They look a little old for joy rides, I would like to hear if they have a record?
There are websites that will do this if you are willing to pay them. I found several but the info isn’t that important to me. Bennett? How about it?
Thou shall not judge a book by it’s cover…NOT !
Thank you, Big Rick! My point, exactly!
I can’t count the number of criminals I have caught in the act during my career… I don’t consider that they allegedly did a armed robbery when I caught them coming out the store after they shot and killed the owner with the smoking gun in their hand….. They did the crime, not allegedly committed the crime.
You’re apparently not in the field of news.

I thought everyone in the Owen’s Valley has found and taken home a DWP shovel by now 😉
but that’s a lot different then what these idiots did
Allegedly did. They have not gone through court.

Thou shalt not have a vested interest in the story you’re covering. Otherwise, a personal entanglement could color a reporter’s neutrality or cloud public perceptions of fairness. An obvious area of concern: when a journalist’s relatives, spouse or politician friend who purchased advertising space from the reporter is part of the news.
I know a lot of the business owners who advertise with it. I have never had a problem with the firm wall between advertising and news. Ask around.

Benett is stating a fact without bias. If you read the Constitution, it’s innocent until proven guilty. An obvious area of concern is how you’re not aware that everyone is alleged in the crimes they are charged.
People are talking about shovels taken from DWP..well, stealing is stealing. No matter how you dress it up…if anyone took a shovel, send them to jail! Why talk about three men on this website, if you yourself are guilty off thieving? If you are innocent of stealing anything, or been accused of stealing, be my guest and pass judgement. You are not perfect. Quit acting like you are holier than thou.
You could take a little advice from yourself.

Victoria…….I don’t think the guy that made that first post is stating he hopped the fence and broke into a DWP building to take that shovel…..maybe finding it on the side of the road or in a field…I’m doubting if you happen to find a shovel on the side of the road,stop, and pick it up, your subject to going to jail…if so,send me away too…..I once found a hoe on the side of the road….the kind you use to do yardwork….stopped and picked it up,and use it to this day…
.That’s right Wayne I found my shovel. Obviously left behind by some careless Dumb White Person. It had his initials right on it.
And it is my favorite heater to this day
