" "feel pity u", very well put. These cop haters just lash out at the police due to their own illegal actions that got them busted. It's much easir for them to bag on the police and much more difficult to admit they messed up once. These grudges against law enforcement will continue the rest of their lives.... "

" It seems what you do have time for is analyzing other peoples posts. I'm so sorry that someone thought this BS was funny, i can tell that hurt you deeply. The rest of the folks had the right idea though, they actually wrote on subject. Imagine that!!?? You should try it. I'm starting to feel bad for you, you're getting yourself so worked up over this mess. Maybe you can borrow some of my pills tough guy.... "




Feel pity u wrote on Jul 13, 2008 5:25 PM:

" The fact that the police/judge hater has to resort to lies now, in the face of overwhelming evidence, including published photos is just sad.

Of course, his arrests are "not his fault" it's the fault of the criminal justice system that had the temerity to catch him breaking the law and hold him accountable for his actions. Did dad not spend enough time with you? Did mom not love you enough? Whatever your excuse, it's time to be an adult and take responsibility for yourself.

I still pity him though. To lie so much and so often means he's to the point of believing the lies now. And that means his offspring will be indoctrinated into that mindset as well. Another "victim" that blames the state for every one of her criminal misdeeds, failed "baby daddy" relationships and inability to earn anything close to a decent living without the assistance of welfare, food stamps and state health care.

I pity you. "




saturday night and JM got nobody wrote on Jul 13, 2008 3:39 PM:

" cant wait for the post where JM posts as ouch saying 'its not me' or vice-versa. I would have gotten back to you sooner JM but looking at the time you sent in the post, I have better things to do on a friday and saturday night than write posts. Take your pills JM, then maybe you can get a life! "

" I live here so gas isn't a problem for me to enjoy Havasu. What I find funny though is the title of this article, 'Gas prices not slowing tourists'. Really? I noticed that all your quotes are from people that actually drove to get here or got a free ride. I know a lot of people that would've come here or usually do come here that didn't. Just because of gas doubling or tripling in price for them. "




not distracted away from issue wrote on Jul 13, 2008 10:46 AM:

" JM, no amount of distraction will change the issue of how bad the police are here, how the courts are the center of tourist avoiding the city, and that a person was able to drown in the channel because nobody was around to notice. "




doh wrote on Jul 13, 2008 5:24 AM:

" ouch/JM, does it hurt your arm to reach around and pat yourself on the back like that? A. It is the same writing style. B it is the same lie about the lake being busy. c. It is the same childish behavior "




OUCH wrote on Jul 12, 2008 9:36 PM:

" "JM", hilarious posts!! You're a funny guy/gal! Maybe that will put him back on topic. So true though, people are always quick to blame law enforcement for just about everything. I think we all know why though, not too difficult to figure out. July 4th weekend was crazy. I don't hang out in the channel but judging by the rest of the lake and beaches it was obvious that there was a ton of traffic. Not the most i've ever seen but right up there. And the few times i passed through the channel it was packed with it's typical crowd. The police sure seemed to have their hands full dealing with unruly weekend warriors. Thanks for the laughs JM and the attempt to stear folks back to the topic of the article. "

" That was predictable. Well done! What are meds? Do you mean medics? What does "fraudian" mean? I know what "FREUDIAN" is. Are you trying to say that i'm attempting to be deceptive or trying to cheat someone out of money or something for my own personal gain? That would be fraud and i think that's what you wrote. This is fun though..... Hold on, let me take my meds first. How about some VIAGRA? That'll give you some stiff competition. I know who this is..... It's my sister isn't it? You silly girl, i knew it was you. Are you going to the family reunion next month? You're funny sis. Let me know how the movie was....... "




JM med time wrote on Jul 11, 2008 8:06 PM:

" JM! Dude! You forgot to take your med's! That is ok though. We know that that your pedomorphic behavior is just a way to make up for your Fraudian lacking. "

" "Helping out JM", I see what's going on, you're not even reading the articles. You're just surfing around, trying to find one of my comments and then posting your own goofy stuff. What a riot LOL!! What are stocks dude? Give me a lesson..... Or you could just stay on topic!!?? (You gotta read the article first) If you lose your internet priveleges in your cell just ask a guard for a paper so you can catch up on the current events.... Or you can continue teaching people about stocks (whatever they are). "

" Lovin Havasu, Welcome, you're are not missing anything and it was a good choice to move here. I've never had a problem with the police, people are friendly, good service in the stores etc. I'm sure Seattle had its naysayers, negativity is easy, thinking and being positive is not, and most of these posters take it real easy. My advice, enjoy this beautiful city, the activities at our many clubs and orginazations, and its friendly people. "




Lovin Havasu-What am I missing wrote on Jul 11, 2008 12:23 PM:

" I just moved to Havasu from Seattle a couple of years ago. I have never been bothered by the police and don't see anything wrong with the town. I see all good. Every time I read comments about the town it is always about how it's going down hill and the cops are currupt. The comments are so angry. What exactly am I missing? Should I have not moved here? "

" JM, Owning a single share of stock is not really the same as owning the company. But if it helps you feel better about yourself rock on dude. "




JM wrote on Jul 10, 2008 8:00 PM:

" """"HATE SUCCESS GAS AND TAXES"""""What a hate filled spiteful world i must live ON (or IN)." I don't get it. I guess since i don't share my success randomly on comment forums means the world owes me or has done me wrong in my life. Hmmm? I guess next time i get the chance i'll just randomly announce how many business i own nationwide and how i owe the world for my tremendous success. What was i thinkin?? I should have spent less time balling out the cop-haters and more time comparing mortgage payments. I guess it made me look poor, hateful, spiteful etc.... Or i could just stay on the subject of the origional article. Spiteful...... That's funny! Oh i get it now, you were just being sarcastic! What a kidder, you cheeky monkey. "

" Sissy,every once in a while, I check into the paper online, and it seems like no matter what the subject is, you are always in an argument with someone. Instead of spending all of your time responding to every single article, why don't you get a job and contribute to City and the economy. "




Sissy wrote on Jul 9, 2008 2:33 PM:

" I only attack after being attacked. I too flew to LH along with a friend that has lived here since the late 60s (God rest his soul). Dirt roads and all. calhav, seriously WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY DOING ABOUT YOUR COMPLAINTS?? Please inform all of us. "




Happy to do it. wrote on Jul 9, 2008 6:43 AM:

" Cal/Hav, you have put your finger on the problem of the police. I, likewise, have not been ticketed and never even have been stopped. However I do sit in court and watch the appauling display of what passes for Justice here. I am sickened by it. So no I won't move, but I will fight to improve the system. And if that means warning good unsuspecting people what a trap this city's justice system is until it is fixed I am happy to do it.

Sissy, I just read your comments on the Discussion board side of the web site about name calling and such. Then I read your post on this section July 8th 10:57. People who live in glass houses my friend. "




hate success gas and taxes wrote on Jul 9, 2008 5:54 AM:

" JM, what a delusional and hate filled world of spite you must live on. Cal/hav, congrats ok the success in your life. The JM's of the world are the type who felt the world owes them and have grown hateful with time and direct that anger at those who've attained the success the covet. Gas prices did keep some away, but many stayed other places because of the bad reputation Havasu has on the net due to the courts and police. We MUST fix this problem in our city government. All of us depend on tourism for lower taxes. "




JM wrote on Jul 8, 2008 8:02 PM:

" Once again..... The article is about gas prices and how it is or isn't effecting tourism. Not about how police writing so called unjustified tickets (like there is such a thing) is or isn't effecting tourism. It's interesting how some people measure "true patriotism" by flaunting their wealth by publicly advertising how many homes he/she owns and how they spent sooooo much money on any given weekend once upon a time ago. And then recommend others to take a class on economics when it sound like they should be taking classes in personal finance and how to handle their money! But heh, at least this is good practice for you cop haters for when there's an article that actually pertains to law enforcement! "




CalHav wrote on Jul 8, 2008 7:33 PM:

" Sissy, I am a 52 year old brat who has been coming here since 1970, I was here for the 100 year flood, I was here when the ONLY stop light was at McCulluch and London Bridge Blvd. When Bashas and Safeway were the only store in town. I was here when the Police station was down By the holiday in and when Hussongs and Krystals were the Only hot spots in town. Do you remember the Airport on the Island and planes coming over your head spewing fuel. When Empty Police cars stood at the north and south end of town to deter speeders cause there were not enough cops to actually man the cars.
I have NEVER been arrested or Cited in Havasu.
But during the last 4 years I have had at least 10 so called Safety checks. I have a 25 ft Deckboat nothing Fancy that would "attract" attention. I have been pulled over after dinner twice in the late late evening, early morning coming from Friends homes, with the excuse that I was doing 5 mph over the speed limit, but the first question being "How Much have you had to drink". I drive a plane old F150.
I come to Havasu like I have for the last 38 years to Have fun, Enjoy my home and let my kids have the fun I did here through the 70's and 80's. The problem is that the Police do not stop with the True trouble makers. They cop and sttitude (no pun intended). With two properties in town I want to see this City Prosper. I had planned on retiring there in a couple of years like some of my friends have. But with the direction the City has gone in NO More.
MCCullouch and Woods must be turning in their graves. This town was built by the man who helped design Disneyland (Woods) to be fun, Bikini clad babes with cocktails in Hand would greet the Visitors he would Fly in to sell property to.
So yes I may be a spoiled brat, I've worked hard to deserve being one. I just hate to see the town go down the drain. THere are problem and you people just bury your heads denial. "




Sissy wrote on Jul 8, 2008 7:19 PM:

" shame on you, shame on you!! The whole issue has been about arrests that they feel are unwarrented, yet has anyone EVER proven that they weren't? "




shame on you wrote on Jul 8, 2008 1:25 PM:

" Sissy, I do not anyone saying, including cal/hav, that they want to be able to break the law. In fact everyone on this board has said they want the police to do thier job. Where the difference comes in when police go beyond and make up things to write tickets about as has been alleged to happen here.
Cal/Hav is a true patriot for standing up for what is right in the face of the ignorant and apathetic. "

" calhaven't, I did not say that real estate taxes were the only tax base here! You must jump before you read! You insist on bashing Havasu, for whatever reason, I do not know. Do you want to sell your HOMES and can't? Do you want the town all to yourself? Do you want to do only what you want to do with no regards to laws? Just what do you want? I do not know your age, nor do I care, but your posts prove that you are a spoiled brat! "

" Mr. Wolfson, who responded to my comments posted on this website but posted them on mohavepoliticsdotcom for obvious reasons; seems to agree that we would be much better off getting rid of those who will not get rid of the problem in Havasu. "




Roco wrote on Jul 7, 2008 4:12 PM:

" To "when it matter the most": No, my living is not dependent on tourism, or on the bed tax, or on fines. I pay taxes and purchase some goods and services from buinesses in LHC. All I am saying is, overall, we all need the tourism and the bed tax (not fines when they are obtain wrongly). If tourist did not come here, how would that affect the city budget? Those in charge of that are already incapable of doing and if least monies were there, just think how bad things would really be? This is a rough time we all are going through. We need to hang in there and ride it out and rid ourselves of those in charge that are making a bad situation worst. "

" Come on people! Does it matters if there was a smaller or bigger crowd than the last holiday? The point is people came here to have some fun. All that matterw is that there were some tourists who could afford to come here and spend money in LHC. Would some of you be happy if no one came here? This is a resort/tourist town. Take the good with the bad and get on with your life. "

Credibility wrote on Jul 6, 2008 6:06 PM:

" To the judge/police hater:

You know, when you lie about something so obvious, like the volume of people that were in Havasu and in the channel this weekend, ESPECIALLY when there were dozens of pictures published show the exact opposite, it really takes away any credibility you have when you complain about the police and the judge.

That giant lie, in the face of overwhelming evidence, shows everyone exactly what you are: a career criminal, whose failings are "not your fault" (like everyone else in jail)with an axe to grind and unfortunately a forum to do it.

I pity the miserable existence that is your life. "




Get Real wrote on Jul 6, 2008 5:35 PM:

" To JM

Good Posts! And so true. I'm so sick of the bashings by out of towners when they do wrong. Not very noble! I've recently read and responded to some who should have their internet priviledges taken away for life! It was about a story the paper had just the other day on wages lower than the prices here. The last 2-3 days of what people posted on there was not good! One guy said the Havasu Police were on a search mission. I'm sure you've heard it all. Anyway, thanks for the entertainment of your posts. "




Tourists or Havasu Wannabes wrote on Jul 6, 2008 5:26 PM:

" Hey CalHav:

Does this post sound familiar? It should! It's what you wrote and posted recently in answer to the "Salaries not keeping up with homes" article. You were in total agreement with what a poster named "Mike" was saying and his bashing of the town here and it's residents. For those of you who haven't read it, look it up on the "News Archives" and read the posts of the last couple of days. It was just laid to rest this morning. Anyway, here is a post of CalHav's:

CalHav wrote on Jul 5, 2008 9:54 AM:

" Arizonian-Which I honestly dobt your a born and Raised Havasu resident, since most of them were from McCulloch and Trico Corps and Most Californians themselves. Mike is absolutely right on all accounts. It is unfortunate but many full time residents in Havasu move there to Retire cause it was cheaper and warmer than god foresaken Wyoming or The Dakotas in Winter. Now your miserable cause you have this illusion that Havasu can survive without tourism. That about the same as Disneyland surviving without it. Problem is some many of you are stuck in Fantasyland with the belief that Havasu is from the Frontierland you came from. Malls, Airports, Crime and congestion are all part of tomarowland.
From the sounds of it though, it seems like you want Californians to go away, Which tells me your Park of choice is Knotts, and you'll enjoy life in the Ghost Town "

Him and "Mike" seem to think bashing the residents here is the way to go. And that we'd be in a state of mediocrity here were it not for them. I don't think that most tourists who come here are like these two. And, I don’t really consider them actual “tourists” as they own homes here! I guess you could call them Havasu Wannabe’s. "

CalHav wrote on Jul 6, 2008 3:09 PM:

" Sissy, I hate to tell you, I own a couple of homes there. My total tax payment a year doesn't even total what I use to spend there on a couple of weekends. So really having us own homes there does no good to anyone. You might want to take an economics class this fall and see where cities really derive their income. Sales Tax, bed tax, business tax and tickets. "




JM wrote on Jul 6, 2008 2:49 PM:

" Case in point: "abc"! Sad. How many drafts did you go through on scratch paper before coming up with that ingenius little list? You must have something better to do with your time. You forgot to include the corrupt police didn't you? Maybe the story was slanted cause you were reading it while laying down. And maybe that's the same reason you claim the crowds were "way down". It's hard to see if you're laying down passed out. That's the only explanation i can think of, cause every other person (without a warrant) knows the crowds were "way up". Have a seat on the couch...... Okay, good. Now tell us, who hurt you? Do you blame your parents for your lack of respect for others. Is it hard for you to tell the truth? Until our next session...... "




JM wrote on Jul 6, 2008 2:36 PM:

" Yep, the channel was packed, it was a succesful holiday weekend in terms of tourism. If people haven't figured it out already, there are those who are miserable and would love nothing better than to try to justify their claims of this town being full of corrupt cops who have chased tourism from it's city limits. Now that they have been proven wrong it's difficult for them to openly admit it. That's too bad cause all we can do is laugh at their desperate attempts to trash this town's reputation. In order to put a stop to these people posting their blind comments we first need to take away their internet priveleges from their jail cells!! "

Seriously though - Come on people!

This is a lake/resort town! I see nothing wrong with this photo! It's only wrong in YOUR mind if you make this photo into something it's not. If this would have been a picture of three elderly church ladies with Sun Hats, gloves and parasols, you would have complained in some way! "
