Vigilante Justice

[August]

How does the old saw go about how Conservatives are just Liberals that have been mugged?

LA rock band EVOLOVE forced to take Vigilante justice in Stockton.

Dear Editor,
On Wednesday February 8th around 1am after a performance at The Plea For Peace in Stockton, CA, my band EVOLOVE pulled into the Denny***8217;s located at 642 W. Charter Way between Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd and S. Harrison Street for a quick bite before heading back on the road. Within a 30 minute period our vehicle was vandalized and $4,000 of gear was stolen from us, literally under our nose. Our first reaction was to call 911. The dispatcher informed us that no police unit would be sent out and our only option was to file a report.
In this day and age there is a lot of technology that protects consumers from these exact incidents. One of the items stolen from us was a brand new iPad2. Right away we realized we could track the iPad through my iPhone via an App that we had downloaded previous to leaving for tour. With this knowledge in hand, we flagged down a passing by city cop hoping for help retrieving our stolen gear. The officer proceeded to inform us he was on a break. After pleading with him, he called dispatch who reiterated that our only option was to file a report online. Upon giving us this news he then proceeded to carry on with his dinner plans and drove into the McDonalds drive-through.
Enraged with the options at hand, and knowing we had a short period of time in which our gear would remain local, we took action. My 4 bandmates jumped into our vehicle and proceeded to the address showing up on our tracker at approximately the corner of Berkeley Avenue and Fairfax Road. Upon reaching the suspected criminal***8217;s house, 911 dispatch was contacted again by my band to be informed that action was about to take place in an attempt to retrieve our stolen goods. Dispatch told my bandmates to contact the County Sheriff because the property was out of city limits. A call was then placed to the County Sheriff and dispatch referred them back to City police since the crime occurred in city limits.
Frustrated by the run around, the boys took matters into their own hands.
