'Four Officers Killed in Oakland Ca. Shooting"


































A Memorial was held for four slain Officers.Mark Dunakin 40,Ervine Roman43, Dan Sakai35, JohnHege41.Thousands of Officers&firefighters from around the Nation&Overseas,turned out for the four veteran Officers.
On March 21 rst. they were shot in the line of duty in Oakland Ca.By a 26 year old parole violator,who was also killed.It began with a traffic stop and ended in gun battle. I thought the eulogy's were heart-felt and it at times difficult to watch. Living here in California justtwo hours from Oakland it hits close to home. My room mate told me that as he was driving to work. On every over pass there were officers and fire trucks with flags hanging at half mass in Honor of the Officers. It so sad that it takes something this tragic to pull us together and realize we must remember to pray for our locals hero's and ask For Gods protection to be with us All!!!!!!

You have 60 days to be out, you are an unlawful detainer.The house your living in sold Oct 20th,I had gotten the loan. I got the attorney Mayhem Ford, I filed and faxed.  did everything I needed to do. And now they tell me under FHA policy I have to move 30 years of my parents stuff and empty out the house.So they can take a picture of the house empty. They tell me with such compassion. I almost believe them.Someone's been lying to me. I am going to court Feb 19th and present my case. I've been so sick with ulcers and H pylori This is the home that my Dad and Mom built with their bare hands, My Dad lived in less then two years.

Many Christmas's and Thanksgiving dinners with Friends and Family....
