"Callahan, the former president of World Jai Alai, was shot dead by John Martorano, one of Bulger’s hitmen.

Martorano testified he was working for Bulger when he killed Callahan, who was also a friend of his. Bulger wanted Callahan dead" bostonherald.com/2021/02/12/dis…

Victims of Organized Crime pay real consequences.

In Monterey County we have a guy who has traded on that "joke" his entire career.

Monterey County is a lot like Bulger's Boston.

But to @LeonPanetta12 and his creepy as fuck friends, joking about the Mafia as though all Italians are associates of ruthless organized criminals is beyond distasteful.

This is how Monterey County suffers under guys like @RepJimmyPanetta's dad.

The Panetta's encourage Xenophobia for personal gain.

It's a good look.

Here is a fun trivia question for the fat toes in back rows fans.

What is 80 year old convicted murder - who was also Whitey Bulger's handler and co-conspirator - John Connolly's connection here?

Nothing to see here as the @CityofMonterey considers legal marijuana dispensaries to maybe (at best) bring in $500,000 to $1,500,000 per year while the City faces a budget def. of $30 million dollars in this year alone.

Don't expect @MontereyPolice chief Dave Hober to tell ImageImageImage

the community anything honest, or at least in line with his job as Monterey's top cop.

The CM of Seaside CA replaced Ray Corpuz who had previously threatened to rip off the city if he didn't get his way - with a guy who sued the Davenport Iowa newspaper for libel. (he lost)

A lot of bold public officials In Seaside - this was probably Mayor Ian Oglesby - the prison guard turned politician. Oglesby's wife works for?

“He’s a big thinker, and that’s something Seaside hasn’t had in a long time,” said one Seaside official who declined to be quoted.

off. the. rails.

This is just * some * of California's police payroll. This list starts with @MCoSheriff Steve Bernal - an intellectually challenged man who spend twelve uneventful years as a deputy before being plucked by MoCo rich people and insiders like @LeonPanetta12. Image

The police are suppose to ENFORCE THE LAW. Their contracts are dependent on the gov. body that spends the money.

For the Sheriff thats this group:

District 1: Louie Alejo
District 2: John Phillips
District 3: Chris Lopez
District 4: Wendy Askew
District 5: Mary Adams Charles McKee, county fixer...

For the municipalities it's the various city councils negotiating pay and other $$$ incentives.

This is @SalinasPD.

So when ya wonder why they are sitting on their ass and not solving any big public corruption cases, or being a referring lead agency to the @FBIWFO?

Well: ImageImageImageImage

Henry Jones, of California Tow, is the "Evidence Tow" for @SalinasPD & @CHP_HQ MoCo.

California Tow had a towed vehicle / impound buyback program with all the cops and some friends of cops. Ask @Kelly_McMillin. He was a Lt. at the time. Dan Ortega the Chief of SPD tried to stop

Henry Jones likes to take cops to the Silver Legacy in Reno Nevada, on gambling junkets.

It's important in this age of Nazism to understand who pushed or helped push an agenda that led to more corruption in local communities across this great country.

In 2010 I was talking with a former judge, and notorious right winger, John Price who asks me if I had ever heard Image

of Boots Road Consulting and Spencer Critchley.

I told John I heard both names come up from time to time 😂 and the former judge and notorious right winger tells me he thinks we should all have lunch.

Spencer Critchley got a paid gig with the @CityofSalinas to spin

.@CityofMonterey is really trying to sell the public (because the council has made up its mind), on the safety of legal marijuana sales.

Look people. Sales of marijuana IS safe.

The people you (city officials) are jumping in business with are the problem. It isn't the 420.

It's beautiful to again watch @MontereyPolice gloss over organized crime within Monterey County marijuana.

Hober's report is embarrassingly unprofessionally. It's about as good as former Salinas Police Chief Louis Fetherolf's "state of the city" report a bunch of years ago.

IT WAS SO BAD (Salinas) the officials scrapped the entire report and redrew the parameters & tone. It was a white wash.

Y'all locals know who the Senior Deputy City Attorney was then?

Christine Davi - is the current city attorney for Monterey.
