In today’s LA Times (Monday March 13 2006) there is a frontpage story titled “An Outward Show of Political Influence”. This is the link:

Or go to latimes.com. You'll see the title of the story.
Basically a cop wannabe has organized a group of friends to donate money to Sheriff Baca. In return he and his friends get badges and cards designating them as “Homeland Security Support Unit”, “Sheriff’s Executive Council” and Bureau of Justice”. According to the article, these I.D.'s are real-looking enough to make some people think they are real.
Buried deep within the story: “Baca’s staff has approved concealed weapons permits for Nalbandian…” and another guy involved in this nonsense.
Why is this (re: concealed weapons) not in the sub-headline?
And what is this @!#$%$#!ing nonsense! Lee Baca, Bob Doyle (Riverside Sheriff) and San Bernardino County Dist. Attorney Mike Ramos are simply selling favors. These guys are supposed to be top law enforcement people.
The only way I'm getting a CCW here in Glendale is if I can prove there's a loaded and chambered gun being pointed at my head at this moment. And even then it'd take 6 months to get one.
Guess I'm not giving the right amount of money to the right people.
