I work about 10 miles from Oceanside. Good to know that he is out there protecting our neighborhoods.

Fighting anarchy in Oceanside
Well, it seems I'm famous now ("Internet videos spark debate in Oceanside," Feb. 14). The rules remain the same. No stalking, no vandalism, no harassment, no gangbanging, drug dealing, littering, gang colors or wannabes. ... No free passes for anyone. The old days are gone. The neighborhood doesn't hate me. The houses that launch these kids into the street every day hate me. You see, I'm not afraid. I'm not cooperating with the goals of these kids, which is to instill fear and distress into the residents. They believe the streets are their turf. We're supposed to grab our mail, avoid eye contact and run back indoors. ...
The gangs and their preteen glee clubs will not take over our streets. It was all a fantasy wrapped in a scheme and destroyed by a video camera. I did not serve my country in the Marines, come home a disabled veteran to be terrorized by race-based groups of kids for the rest of my life. ... We're supposed to not mention the racial overtones. ...
The battle is between the race-based gangs for control of the public streets, and calling me names is supposed to work, but it doesn't. ...
I am a former U.S. Marine. ... Anarchy shall not reign, at least not on my street.
