Comment on Is the Bay Bridge S-Curve safe enough? by art

If I make a product and sell it to the public and it causes deaths, the governement either forces me to recall it or stop selling it completely. not to mention I would probably be tied up in lawsuits up the ass….even though it was there choice to buy it.
Seriously why would traffic think to slow on a freeway from 55 or 65 to 40? that’s almost a 15- 25 mph difference… who was the jackass that couldn’t make a straight line on a freeway?

16 million trips vs. 43 accidents? I’d say that’s quite safe.

I’ve driven over it several times now, and it’s really difficult NOT to notice the BIG YELLOW SIGNS and FLASHING LIGHTS warning drivers of the curve.

If you miss those signs, you are simply not paying adequate attention to the road. That is the fundamental problem, and no amount of additional signage will fix it.

The facility is in Treasure Island, off California Avenue, I believe. Easily accessible through the 108

Just out of curiosity, where was that facility that the copter landed at that was supposed to be the receiving hospital?

Comment on Lone gunman kills 4 Oakland police officers in brazen daylight shooting spree by V.E.G.

This case has almost the same principle at the massacre in Colbert County, over a 100 years ago.

Colbert County Sheriff’s Department’s head and five deputies was shot dead and the gunman was also shot dead.

Comment on California Beat Hero: Bernice Brown by californiabeat

Actually, if I may correct you Sandra, I believe you are thinking of Angelina Alioto. She went “missing” to tour California missions during her then-husband, San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto’s, 1974 gubernatorial campaign. Jerry Brown later went on to win that election.

Although it is a tremendous tragedy for the families of the Oakland police officers who lost their lives trying to protect us, the people to blame for the events that took place are probation/parole officials. LoVelle Mixon, the suspect in the shootings, tried very hard to get into contact with his parole officer because they kept ignoring his calls. So what do you expect from a man who tries to do the right thing in terms of not violating his parole, and gets turned down and ignored? I am in fact terribly sorry about the whole incident, but he had to do what he had to do because he was facing a long prison sentence. With all of this I have to say is. . . . . R.I.P. LoVelle Mixon
