Guest author Victor Valladares of Oak View in Huntington Beach.
Buenas tardes, everyone. My name is Victor Valladares. I am the son of proud immigrants and Co-founder of Oak View ComUNIDAD, a grassroots community organization from Huntington Beach.
Since 2015, we have been in the trenches fighting for environmental justice, better housing and code enforcement, immigrants’ rights, and much more. Since the Trump administration executive order was signed on January 25, 2017 our undocumented communities of color have been on the edge of their seats — nervous and scared of what will happen next.
In Orange County, we have seen groups being formed, and alliances and coalitions being built, to contribute to the #Resistance against the Trump regime. Many constituents from our Congressional District (CD-48) have become part of a created a large and growing group by the name of “Indivisible OC”.
Many of the folks I have spoken to have very legitimate concerns on issues that affect many lives. These include the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), the environment (EPA), public education, the Muslim Ban, immigration, and much more. Let me be clear: Dana Rohrabacher does NOT represent me and many more like-minded folks in CD-48.
Oak View ComUNIDAD is a powerful group made up of passionate and dedicated constituents from CD-48; we have already had some major successes. Whoever will be the strong Democratic candidate facing off against the Republican, Rohrabacher, in 2018 has to be ready to answer question that affect all the constituents of CD-48. So far, I’ve heard good things about the various candidates — but one thing that stuck out to me was their failure to address the issue of immigration.
A couple days ago, I was informed by a Facebook friend that one of the Democratic candidates, Harley Rouda, was going speak at the Laguna Beach Democratic Club. I attended last night’s meeting so that I could meet him.
I introduced myself to Harley Rouda and we spoke briefly about his official Press Release — which failed to mention anything about immigration. Here it is:
“Laguna Beach Mayor Toni Iseman Backs Businessman Harley Rouda for Congress
LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Just over 24 hours after he entered the race to challenge incumbent U.S. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher for California’s 48th Congressional District seat, today businessman Harley Rouda scored a highly coveted endorsement from Laguna Beach’s widely respected Mayor, Toni Iseman.
In announcing her endorsement of Harley Rouda for Congress, Laguna Beach Mayor Toni Iseman released the following statement:
“The status quo in Washington isn’t working. The ongoing dysfunction and mayhem is leading to more politics and less problem-solving. It’s time for a change that begins right here in the 48th District, and that’s exactly why I’m proud to strongly endorse businessman Harley Rouda for Congress. Harley is the real deal. He’s solutions-driven, tenacious and a fearless leader, who no doubt will put people first and politics last. We need his pragmatism and his abilities to generate consensus working on behalf of the great people of Orange County so that we can finally get things done in Washington. I’m with Harley 100%.”
Just yesterday, Harley Rouda threw his hat in the ring as an official candidate for the June 2018 primary in California’s 48th Congressional District. He previously announced his candidacy by releasing the following statement:
“Our Country deserves better from its politicians. Divisiveness, conflict, and finger pointing has to end. The time has come to embrace common sense and find common ground.
“That means we need elected officials who are ready to work together to serve their neighbors and their country, and have the energy and passion to deliver. It is time to have a congressional representative who is accessible and unifying. It is in this spirit that I am announcing my campaign for the 48th Congressional District of California. As a father of four, a husband, and a businessman, I am fully committed to serving our country and serving all of the constituents of the 48th District.
“We need new leadership that is willing to put country over party, and put service above self. We need new leadership that believes in science, climate change, and supports STEM and clean energy. We need new leadership that believes in women’s rights, human rights and liberties for all, and for all a better life. We need new leadership that supports public education for K through 12, and affordable access to higher education. And we need new leadership that is committed to bringing back our federal tax dollars and making our District the economic hallmark of our great country.
“I’m running to bring much needed common sense, fiscal responsibility, and the social pragmatism our 48th District and our country deserves. Join me, let’s send a clear message that it’s time for a change for the better and that it is time for career politicians like Rohrabacher to get a real job.
“You can make a difference. Visit www.harleyforcongress. com and sign up and get involved. And if you are not registered to vote, don’t wait – do it now. We need you and our country needs you.”
Harley Rouda is a successful businessman who created the firm Real Living, and now serves on the board or as an advisor of firms in real estate, retail, and a variety of industries. Rouda received an MBA from The Ohio State University, and a J.D. from Capital University Law School. He lives in Laguna Beach, with his wife Kaira Rouda, a bestselling author. They have four children.
Active in numerous charities and civic organizations over the years, Harley has been involved in fighting homelessness and domestic violence; active with Human Rights Watch; supporting education for the disadvantaged as well as supporting access to higher education; saving military jobs; and working with civic organizations to drive economic development.
The 48th Congressional District is considered a ripe pickup opportunity for Democrats, as Hillary Clinton won the district by 2%. The district is seen as all the more winnable given that Rohrabacher is one of Donald Trump’s closest allies in Congress. The 48th Congressional district also had one of the largest swings of any Congressional district in the country from 2012 to 2016, with more than 13 percentage points at the presidential level shifting to Democratic.

The meeting began at about 7:06 p.m., so we had to cut our conversation short.
As I left my front row seat and made my way to the back of the meeting hall, I asked for permission to record the meeting, if’ it was allowed. I was given the OK by a sweet lady who was in charge of letting folks into the meeting. Here’s the link to my first video, which we can’t get to embed here:
https://m.facebook.com/story. php?story_fbid= 1457685694276279&id= 100001045869509
While the live feed was on, a viewer commented that she could not see the powerpoint presentation, so I decided to get closer. The meeting room was packed with, I’d estimate, over 100 people and not one seat was available. So I sat in the middle of the walkway, near other guests who were sitting on the floor.
As I was sitting there, I saw folks in the crowd raise their hand and ask questions that they considered important. I was debating with myself whether or not to ask some questions that are very dear to my heart and our communities.
That brings us to my second video:
As y’all can see at minute 5:23 in the video, I decided to raise my hand. Mr. Rouda recognized me and called me by my name, “Victor.”
I stood up and introduced myself: “My name is Victor Valladares and I am a community grassroots organizer from Huntington Beach.” (The response from the crowd was great!)
I asked about Immigration Reform and DACA, the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” policy adopted by President Obama to protect “Dreamers” from removal.
Mr. Rouda started out talking about how there weren’t centrists in the Senate anymore and how that was bad for compromise. He said that people want secure borders. He doesn’t like a wall, but he said that we should debate the ways to accomplish it. He only wants to deport people with serious felonies, not just getting fake ID. He wants a visiting worker’s program and a pathway to citizenship. As for the Dreamers — he said nothing.
I was disappointed. I got up and walked out. Some other people walked out and you can hear them talk to me, one also wondering why he didn’t answer my specific question on DACA.
I couldn’t tell at the time during his speech whether Mr. Rouda didn’t know what DACA was — or if he did know and he chose to ignore it. If he didn’t know, though, then he found out pretty quickly. I got a call from him late in the night– and he told me that he will support it. (Unfortunately, you only have my word for that; it isn’t on video.) Let that be a head’s up for other candidates, in CA-48 and elsewhere.
Moving forward, I hope that all candidates discuss and take a stand on immigration — and, if they want student volunteers, especially on DACA. Our brothers & sisters — “hermanXs” — are looking at y’all. Let’s not forget that our communities have turned to the political party that says it will stand beside them. We have voted Democratic — but y’all already know about the deportations that happened under the Obama administration. So we will want to to know if y’all are with the LatinX communities — or against us.
I will continue to do my best & bring up immigration issues to the same Democratic establishment that says it represents our immigrant communities. While I am new to all of this, I am and will be trying hard to have our immigrant hermanxs voices heard.

Victor is a great guy and I expect him to do great things in he and for the community and the party.
The sad and ridiculous thing is, the fact that you and me and Greg think highly of him gives him a ready-made set of Democratic enemies… as though he didn’t have enough real racists in HB to deal with.
That sucks. But honestly Milo the Irvine troll has absolutely zero friends or allies in democratic circles. He has people that occasionally cooperate with him on a narrow scope of efforts like Ernesto Medrano, and by default and by force Florice hoffman who has to do hat her boss tells her. But the fact is no one likes that guy. I mean no one except for his creepy republican troll Mike Tardiff. I mean drinking liberally is no more because of him. Chris Prevatt hates him, Claudio G hates him, No one on the CC can stand the guy. and its all because of his toxicity. Her is a toxic Troll. Period.
Sorry, Paul, but you’re wrong. The few people he collects may be a horror show, but they are allies (some perhaps even friends) nevertheless — and they appreciate having someone in their corner that is dunderheaded, aggressive, tone-deaf, ethics-free and eager to please those with power.
Keeping score by noting how Prevatt and Claudio may feel — no disrespect to either of them — is a bit behind the times. (Lenore Albert, for example, seems to adore him. There’s no need to embellish where he’s concerned.)
who the hell is Lenore Albert? Isnt that the lady from HB who is barely a lawyer but is ten shades of crazy? Exactly who else has the Irvine Troll collected as friends or allies? If all you can name is that lenore lady then you have proven my point. I honestly think you have placed too much stock in Milo the Irvine Trolls ability to hold friends. As I can see it, he only really has one friend that being Mike Tardiff a Republican of non-existant morals and plenty of tainted character.
I have surveyed many people in the DPOC and affiliate circles and I am unable to find a single friend or ally. At times, I have only seen some who will use him to and ends such as Florice Hoffman and ernesto M. Beyond that forced collaboration on behalf of florice even she hates the guy.
So yeah Im going to hold onto my statement that the guy has no friends and I would appreciate it if you would stop diminishing my stances.
The funny thing is Dan decided to reach across the OC and embrace this psycho simply because he noticed me and Greg had problems with her. Always a weak way to think…
Hold onto it between your knees, Paul.
Hold onto what? Also Vern, thaat kind of behavior is going to catch up to him someday just as it did for Milo Y. Thats why i call him Milo aside from refusing to say his name. I hope he does go after Victor because I know it will cause him to catch a storm of shit from the real Dems in OC. At presnt he is promoting Mike Levin against Colonel Applegate in the race to usurp Issa.
I believe Greg was thinking of this:
Ya got me, Vern. I figured that you’d know the movie — after all, the anti-hero is a pianist!
Paul, it’s really not worthwhile for us to argue about whether or not Chumley has friends. I would simply note Harry Truman’s (or whoever’s) statement that if you want a friend in politics, you should buy a dog. Well, is it THAT surprising that some people in DPOC would do so? The point of Truman’s statement is: political “friendship” isn’t necessarily friendship.
Why is my comment on moderation? And exactly who are these pre-packaged Democratic enemies/ friends of the Irvine Troll?
You probably typed in the magic word on the “banned list.”
Sorry, a duck is supposed to come down from the ceiling when that happens.
I keep hearing from The indivisible OC group that HB is full of racists. I have lived here quite a long time and have yet to see any racists. So my question is, where are they? I can promise you if you point them out, there are many good people in the city that will get rid of them. We will not tolerate racism in our city. Please, please point them out.
Can I give Victor your email address so that he can contact you?
I would be interested in knowing who these people are. I am grassroots activist in an organization in North OC (Resist NOC), I’m the Huntington Beach /Fountain valley coordinator and I feel like I’m getting people trying to join who may be moles and could be connected to racist leaders in HB. If you have names of these people so we can be aware (and other progressive groups in the area can too) I feel that would be very helpful.
If you’re on Facebook, you may want to contact Victor if and when he gets names.
You could start here, although we may disagree on what hating and racism is… http://www.orangejuiceblog.com/2017/01/peeking-under-the-hb-hate-rock-early-2017/
Who are the people in this article? Are they part of the white supremacists?
Vern, do you get the sense that Epting is sending some of these first-name-only people here to set up his long-threatened defamation lawsuit? Hopefully they’re all sincere … but just a little shy.
“White supremacists” is an ill-defined term. What is better defined is to say that some people like to whip up public opinion to attack others on the basis of race and ethnicity — and that in our society this activity is usually most consequential when it involves lighter people agitating people to go after darker people, males against females, straights against sexual minorities, larger religious against smaller ones, the more able-bodies against the less so, and so on.
This can be part of a broader ideology, but need not be; however, even when it isn’t it may still appropriate tropes that are commonly used to promote racist (and other bigoted) ends. It’s not necessary to claim that all of the haters think that genetics renders whites superior to others.
Are you referring to me posting with only my first name? If it’s a problem Then admin can have my last name if they want it but I didn’t think it was a big deal. no one sent me to do anything. I joined the conversation because A friend from indivisible OC forward me the link and I thought I would ask about it. Another poster referred to these people as -white supremacists- So that’s what I called them as well.
I wasn’t looking to cause any trouble and it seems like someone here might have a problem with me asking about this so I’ll be leaving this page now. I was just trying to be more informed.
No, not you — your email address shows your full name. (I am an Admin, btw.)
You are totally right that any democratic candidate needs to support comprehensive immigration reform and DACA. Another candidate living in a bubble.
A now-popped bubble, one hopes.
I also heard through Indivisible OC that there are white supremacists in HB. I have lived here for over 7 years and have not experienced anything which would make me think there are white supremacists here. I don’t understand what they are talking about.
In the old days, they were associated with that German-themed center near Huntington Center. Some (not many or most) surfers were also into it, sermingly without fully appreciating the implications.
I saw above that someone may have more information about who these people are. Is it a group or specific people? If it’s a group would exposing them be an option?
OLDE WORLD? Near Bella Terra? That’s strange, I never heard about that.
Gimme a couple a days, I’ll get something done. Nobody calls themselves racist any more, it’s not generally considered cool. But there a lotta people who spend most of their time bitching about the Mexicans in Oak View and our other two barrios, and how spoiled and privileged and illegal they are, and how they can’t wait for President Trump to get rid of ’em.
Don’t get in trouble. I’m In the Ellis/Beach area so maybe that’s why I havnt seen anything.
Then you are near the Amberleaf barrio. There’s some crime there. I can’t tell exactly how disingenuous you are being.
Yeah, that’s the place. Not the fault of the landlords, so far as I know, but I recall being warned about it years ago.
Are you telling me you guys cant remember nich schous article on old world and the annual birthday party for hitler there at old world? short memory much?
No, out of state during 80s and 90s much.
Are you “muching” us?
OK, you asked for this: “‘Milo’ is not going to happen!”
(I admit that I’m MOST of the way through my copy of “The Collected Works of Nick Schou,” but I haven’t quite finished it.)
Olde World had loads of skinhead nazi punks in the late 70’s early 80’s. Uniform was a plaid Pendleton, tied around the waist and chains wrapped around their wrists. They beat on other punks who showed up at Oktoberfest or at the Cuckoo’s nest. Germs FEAR and TSOL all had to disavow these a-holes when they ruined shows. Some surf punks were territorial and got into the shock value of nazi symbols in driving away non-locals. Hell, I knew a guy who was half-Mexican who hung out with them- he was a real mess. HB racist punks were a big part of the early scene, in my experience.
Cleaned up by now, I hope?
Thank you… this is exactly when I moved off to Orange, Berkeley, San Francisco, New Haven, and Austin, and didn’t get back home to HB till 97. So … I didn’t know.
Now my nephew works there, at the German restaurant.
The German nature of the place — they had the most enthusiastic Oktoberfest celebration around back then, and maybe they do — is what I think attracted the dimwitted Bund-cakes to the locale.
If I recall correctly, a friend of mine from junior high grew up to be neo-fascist — possibly in part because playing Risk against me gave him the impression that world domination would be easily accomplished. Most HB Nazi-imitation back then was pretty much from poseurs, but the Nazis themselves liked posing so it was rather a slippery slope.
You missed the Tom Metzger excitementin the Southland, Vern! He was the KKK Grand Wizard who got the Democratic nomination in a San Diego Congressional district in 1980 (with 36% of the primary vote) and the Democrats had to endorse the Republican incumbent. Then he ran against Jerry Brown and Gore Vidal for the U.S. Senate nomination in 1982. That was another big part of the whole Nazi-poseurs era.
I cannot gainsay … there were always boobs over those beers.
Victor is the son of proud immigrants?? No he is the son of proud illegal aliens. He does not believe in following our immigration laws, he wants I.C.E. out of Orange County, he makes demands of the HB city council, he has to ride a bike everywhere, he is in his mid twenties and still lives in Slater Slums, he is a militant radical Hispanic that does not believe in the American dream.
He wants everything handed to him because he is Hispanic and if his demands are not met he refers to people as racist and calls in the ACLU. ComUnidad should move to Santa Ana with the rest of their UNAMEIRCAN militant radical Hispanic groups, they do not belong in Huntington Beach because the residents of HB have class, are peaceful people, work for a living, live in nice homes, and pay their way in life unlike Victor who expects the taxpayer to pay in order for him and his family to live in HB.
(Note to Victor: you’re no one until you have haters — and if you’re lucky, which you are, you’re blessed with stupid ones.)
I cannot gainsay … there were always boobs over those beers.
Exhibit 25.
This is the malcontent that doesn’t think the HB library should rent out a room to me to play concerts … because “the illegals in Oak View get so much for free!” Yeah, don’t try to make sense of it. Her hate is so big it makes sense of everything for her.
Victor doesn’t give 2 fucks about anything unless it has to do with his dirty overcrowded barrio. This is clearly evidenced by the fact that there is no outrage over the shooting of a random homeless white guy by the HBPD the other day. If that had been a Hispanic (latinx… whatever the fuck you call yourself this week) or “Person of Color”, there would be outrage …..White guy?… oh… nothing to see here, move along… You want to bitch about code enforcement and undersized trash dumpsters? Why don’t you start by living within the rated occupancy standards of the buildings you live in? They are not meant to house 8 people in a 2 bedroom unit ( with another family in the garage)… You want respect from the rest of the community? Try doing a beach clean up, volunteering at a local homeless facility, supporting youth sports in HB other than soccer..stop flying your expensive drone around looking for ICE officers so you can engage the ” Barrio Defense Committee”….comUNIDAD doesn’t do fuck outside the Oak View boundaries. But like Victor and his MecHista buddy Oscar Rodriguez like to think. … “Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.” Assimilation would be a great start. Encourage the Oak View residents to stop living in balkanized enclaves that remind hem of home. Ditch the Spanish language media and encourage the illegal immigrants ( and no, a drug dealer is not and “Unlicensed Pharmacist” ) to learn English and become a part of the fabric of US Society instead of being content to import a little slice of Mexico in the US and remaining content to exist there. Let Oscar know I went surfing and had lunch the other day with my High School friend that works out the San Diego ICE office. He lives in Escondido so we split the difference and surfed Oceanside Harbor. He has counterparts in the LA office that know all about Oak View and have plans to pay a few visits very soon… the last thing my buddy said to me was ” Let me know if you need me to make a few phone calls for you…. I laughed all the way home. Have fun Victor… better check the batteries in your bullhorn…
Wrong, that dude was a menace and it was just a matter of time. It’s sad, but he liked to chase people around with a machete. Next?
“You want respect from the rest of the community? Try doing a beach clean up…”
I believe they have done that and will probably do more. Next?
When?
What sort of maniac puts a period at the end of their user name???
(Is this some kind of performance art? If so, go ahead and quit your day job. And everything else.)
When ya got nothin…go for the punctuation attack.
When you’re aiming at a big nothing, you can go for the joke.
When you are a big nothing, you publish a lame ass blog.
I note that you once again have your period.
It appears that an echo of HB’s racist past has assumed a new form. Fondness for uniforms best kept in the closet, ahem.
Oh, don’t be such a “Hate Vessel.” (Do you think that he meant to type “Vassal.” Sounds like a frustrated submissive….)
You guys coined the term…whaddya want?
Uh, I don’t think that we coined the term “hate vessel”; your username is the first time I recall seeing it.
Were you trying to say “hat vessel,” maybe, as in “melon head”? We didn’t coin that one either, you hat vessel.
Yeah I did, this fellow is the guy I called a “morbidly obese hate vessel,” on my Concert Suicide Bomber story, and some people talked me into changing obese to rotund, within the first few minutes of publication, so he must have read it right away. (Zenger even commented how much he liked that phrase.)
A few things – this guy shouldn’t have even been in the story because he wasn’t there causing trouble at a school like people thought –
so I exed it out; also I met him the other day (counterprotesting us anti-Rohabacher protesers) and it turns out he’s not even particularly fat – another thing my friends told me wrong. But he and his family DO pour out a lotta hateful rhetoric on Facebook.Interesting — I searched that story (and others) for the term “hate vessel” but didn’t find it with, apparently because you put it into strikeout type. Didn’t know that that font style defeats Control-F!
So that means that this melon head is Chuck Johnson? Honestly, if my surname were “Johnson,”
I think that I’d go by “Charlie” rather than “Chuck”… but making fun of someone’s name is worse than making fun of their punctuation, so I’ll just strike that out.The racists are the ones that confine their work to advocting on behalf of only those of their own race.
Yes, because “advocating for” is just as bad as “attacking” — except that people who attack other races AREN’T the racists.
Is Rep. Steve King a racist?
Oy, Chris. This is why I won’t let you write my biography. At every opportunity to make a choice to do something good, you choose to be a mean, conspiracy theorist schmuck. Arrests and convictions are very different things. I’d be very careful with such allegations. You’re being used by that woman and you’re so filled with hate that you can’t see it. It’s going to lead you straight into a libel suit.
What’s that old saying, something about being careful what you wish for, it could explode in your hateful face. And please don’t forget to pay your taxes again. You lose the right to say that your taxes pay for people when you don’t pay your taxes.
Hey Chris are you still there? I know what a busy journalist you are, but we appreciate you taking some time off your glorious John Oates book tour to look into the REALLY important Huntington Beach stories. I just wanted to check:
1. Have you managed yet to prove that that black family was lying about getting a brick thrown through their window, and called “niggers,” right after your online rants against Black Lives Matter last year?
2. Have you managed to prove yet that that waiter who was fired a couple weeks ago for demanding proof of residence from a group of Latina customers, was lied about and unjustly fired?
3. And have you managed to get your hands on all of Gina’s personal texts from the last two years, or are the authorities still telling you to fuck off and die?
Maybe if you paid your taxes you’d have better luck, just sayin?
Witnessing the protracted invective against Victor and others on social media by certain “scary” people one might ponder; “How horrid must their life really be?” But zero imagination is required because it’s endlessly paraded in all it’s banal pathetic public glory!
All day most every day he’s gotta keep this city running “right”. When not scouring the internet for any scrap to scavenge, dissect and pour over endlessly about the same old same old targets, he is begging for people to “like’ him by posting the same eh photos over and over. Evenings spent reading sorry speeches at city council and attending school board meetings (although he has no children in the district).
Posting old blogs. Bumping up his tired posts when they aren’t generating interest. Micromanaging others’ activities. Taking screenshots. Finding those screenshots! Sending endless PM’s. Making up hashtags (why hashtags on facebook? why?) Attending protests or other events he takes issue with so he can, “observe and report” as a self appointed magistrate. Maybe finding election signs that are too close to a voting station. Except they’re not. Or just walking the city alone and monitoring abandoned hobo shoes.
A life devoted to the obsessive seeking out of people, places and things disagreed with or offended by and then burning away hours and hours and hours of time on social media curating pet grievances, rekindling past grudges, stoking old feuds and igniting new ones
Maybe the best/worst posting in the past (paraphrasing but not much) “Was at a party last night and telling people about GCT…” Well, that sounds like a super fun party. And certainly no one there was bored to death, perplexed and maybe even a bit concerned by this fragmentary line of socializing. At the point where bringing up one’s current facebook nemesis at a party is par for the course and you are not a troubled 15 year old (in 2008) you have REALLY lost at life. Being totally oblivious to how sad then boasting online about this “off” behavior makes you appear shows that you might indeed be so lost that you will need professional help to find your way back.
And the birds don’t like you. They know that you are just using them to make your rotten self seem more palatable. They are well aware that it is the “enviro nazis” and “extreme environmentalists” who have worked like the dickens to save their habitat for many, many years. You are just a johnny come lately enjoying the fruits of their labor while constantly lambasting the individuals and groups that made preservation happen.
Oh. The irony.
Wait, Epting is trying to CPRA all of her texts for the past two years? Does he realize that personal texts don’t fall under public business?
Sure he can legally have all texts that fall under public business but that opens up a whole can of worms. I’d love to see all communication to, from and about him with a whole slew of local officials. What a great idea. I think there are several search terms I’d like to add to that list as well.
Congratulations Chris! If it’s good for the goose it’s good for the gander.
The list of women who were formerly acquainted with one of OC’s Most Hated continues to grow. With his recent hate missives, they can no longer reconcile silence and keeping his secrets. Batten down the hatchets. Hell hath no mercy like a woman scorned.
Chris, Quit projecting. You had to sell your house because you fell so behind in taxes. The records speak for themselves. And the crazy thing is that you’ve learned nothing. You still can’t earn a meaningful income because everyone is so freaked out by your pathological online antics.
That’s why you lost your LA Times gig and why you have to write about Hall & Oates. Jesus. Hall & Fucking Oates. That’s desperation. Quit being an ass and maybe people will be willing to work with you.
Not Pat. He’s not the only guy who thinks you’re a dick. But I can tell you for a fact that he’s still very much employed by the same employer and living a life that you can only dream of. His new home is gorgeous. How’s the apartment?
Just try not being a dick, Chris. It will all fall into place from there. And can I give you a tip? It’s not Gina’s fault that everyone hates you, it’s yours. It’s from reading your own crazy online downward spiral of hatred and paranoia that so many in the community developed their impression of you. If you were skinnier one might mistake it for tweaker paranoia.
Does faithfulness in a marriage matter?
Wow! Guilty conscience? What makes you think I was writing about you. A friend just got divorced and no longer feels like she has to keep secrets. The person I was referencing knows exactly what I’m talking about.
And to be fair, you can’t come here insulting and libeling people and then complain that people respond. That shit would be thrown out in a heartbeat. But again, you haven’t figured that out.
What IS the hold up with all these threatened lawsuits?! It’s been years. Some guesses…
1) you need money to sue.
2) you need to prove damages. And your damage is self inflicted. For example getting yourself fired from your newspaper job for your own bad behavior.
3) The information that would come out about you in court would be catastrophic personally, professionally etc.
Whatever the reason please GET IT TOGETHER. And make it happen. Should be hilarious.
I just want to get this straight. You are saying that Victor has been convicted of domestic violence? Or is that not what you meant to say?
This should be fun. Thank you for publicly denying what you have been putting out there but the damage is done. It might be in your best interest to repost that denial publicly. Just saying.
Wow, this is really dreary.
Chris, We’ve had this discussion before. Just because you call the police and make a charge against someone, doesn’t mean that they are guilty of a crime. It just means you made a phone call and the police took the report like they are legally obligated to do.
Please come to confession. I’m very concerned. Can you please reread the commandments. I’m getting tired of this. Bless you my child.
Yeah well, this is what happens when Epting, who pisses everyone off, comes in from out of the blue and starts attacking Victor, whom everyone loves. I’ll close comments here now.
