Thanks for your support
Just wondering:
Can everyone send me your email addresses so I can anonymously write to you and call you names? Oh, and your phone numbers too, so I can call and yell at you when you drop a dish in your restaurant, or stab your backhoe into a gas pipe on a construction site, or drop a fly ball on the baseball field.
Yes, last night after I went home I filed an item on this blog that was based on a wire report and a phone call from work. It indicated that the homicide suspect in San Pedro was arrested. Turned out he hadn't been. I should have double-checked it myself, but didn't. (He was arrested hours later.) Sorry about the error.
Thanks to those of you who let me know of my mistake (most were nice about it.) Then, there's this guy:

If your trying to make a point at least use complete sentences and spellcheck.
Don't sweat that guy. You tried, shit happens. I love this site and rely on it for my local info, so whatever you do, don't let the rude people scare you off. He'll get over it. Good job.
Dear Larry,
Some people lead sad, miserable lives and it appears they were taking it out on you yesterday! Don't let them get you down!
I think you are a great crime reporter and your blog always keeps us informed on the most recent news.
Speaking of most recent news, do you know what was going on last night in Torrance around Midnight near the intersection of Artesia & Prairie? There were approx. 10 Police Officers obviously looking for someone, and there were approx. 10-15 more officers parked in a shopping center parking lot on the corner of Artesia & Hawthorne.
Thanks and keep up the good work!! Have a great day!
Theresa
Apparently spelling is no longer a skill anyone worries about.
LARRY..... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ! AND IN THE FUTURE WHEN YOU GET E-MAILS LIKE THOSE THAT OFFENDED YOU DO WHAT MY MOMMA ALWAYS TOLD ME TO DO JUST " CONSIDER THE SOURCE " AND IGNORE THEM ..........
Thanks Momma.
