a “36” year old ex “NFL player” died “last month” of a tooth infection. He was charming and loved to “sing”. He died of a tooth infection. Still not convinced you weren’t talking about him.
My angry reaction was because you included all the details of Mike Williams death except the actual cause of death, while claiming to make effort to obscure his identity. Could it have been an accident by you? Sure. Kinda sus though.
Anyways, I read your opinion. Just more regurgitated conservative cable talking points. I never understand people whose opinion are strong but the effort to cause solutions to problems are not.
Anyways, the awnser to you printed efforts in the BC are simple.
1. The rash of retail crime we are seeing now (derivation of society is what I think you called it) was caused by imprisoning an entire generation of men causing their sons and daughters to grow up without fathers. It’s also a result of collective ignorance. (Another topic another day) It’s so scary to the general public because it’s on tv all the time and a convenient tool for public safety officials. Seeing it so often (everywhere) is also a useful tool in swaying the public’s opinions. In a society where 50 years ago there were zero billionaires and today it’s not uncommon for one man to make 20+BILLION in one day. Should not the “degradation of society” be described as haves and have nots? Should we all not be ashamed that there are people among us that have so little they are willing to throw caution to the wind and take it? The removal of appendages has done little in places like Iran, Saudi A…… still have thieves so the awnser is clearly not punishment.
Anyways, I apologize for being harsh. I’m still suspicious but whatever.
You know what I like to hear from bright, young, public servants like you? Solutions…..we all know the problems.
Have a good day. Be safe out there. I’m sorry I jumped to conclusions so quickly. I wish all the best going forward. And you’re right about me being troll like. Sorry for that too.

One more thing….. what you think the percentage of Californians returning to California after 24 months is? 60 months? I know the awnser. I promise you it’s not what you think because the grass isn’t always better on the other side of the fence.
Thank you. That was well thought out and nicely articulated. I still don’t agree but I really respect your opinion and your honest effort. I was wrong about one thing. You’re not actually a troll, just a guy working in the confines of an internet platform. I can’t even count the times I’ve gone overboard and said something rude I didn’t really mean. I’ll reach out privately later with more context.
Hey Vince! I sent you an email at that email address estimatingpec@yahoo.com. Just want to make sure you got it. I have no other way to communicate with you. You can email me at travisharless@hotmail.com if you want. Let me know if you got my message.
Dude come on. Mike Williams died of dental related sepsis. Please lie to me and tell me you’re talking about another ex nfl player that was 36 years old that died last month.
You are referring to my article about “Derrick” and the demise of California. I admittedly changed the details about the person so that crybaby internet trolls would not be able to figure out who he was. I did this out of respect for our mutual friend and his family but the rest of the story is 100% true. Funny that you called me a liar about the part of the article I openly said I was obscuring but you don’t dispute what I said about the state of California. Thanks for the engagement.
Try again my guy…. Once I figured out you were lying. I realized you were one of them dim witted republitards. Once I realized you were one of them, I quit reading. So I have no idea what your fact ignoring opinions are of California.
Troll??? You and I have a lot more in common than we do differences. I’m not mad. You just tried to troll however many people read the BC. You are the ultimate troll.
Seriously hero hotrod….. do better…. But by all means. Please keep writing.
You’re welcome for the engagement.
Please keep in touch. Maybe we can help each others writing. My email is more effective way to communicate with me. If the BC publishes my response to your opinion I hope I wasn’t to harsh.
Wait, you didn’t read the whole article and have no idea what my opinions about California are, but you know they are wrong? It’s 700 words. Even for a dumb guy like me that’s only about a 3-minute read. You spent more time than that creating a Substack account and writing insults about a person you don’t know because they wrote an article you didn’t read. I’m also curious how you wrote a response letter to the newspaper about an opinion piece if you didn’t read it. I don’t have your email or understand why you would want to keep in touch. Maybe because I’m dim witted. Mostly, I’m not sure what help with writing you could get from me if I’m such an unintelligent liar.
You are correct. I am embarrassed I was so harsh and angry. To be honest I was angry today for the author totally ignoring the actual cause of death, and blaming fentanyl. I didn’t know what the point was, until I read his reply to my angry interaction.
I’m going to read the whole opinion piece tomorrow to try and figure out why???? Why he presented his opinion as factual reporting. I also wonder why I considered it anything other than opinion.
At the end of the day my guy died of a tooth ache. Just as tragic as fentanyl. Just not as fashionable to write about.
I’m sorry for letting my emotions get the better of me. I’ll do better.
"Derrick" is not Mike Williams. "Derrick" did not die of a tooth infection. He died of a fentanyl overdose. I don't know who Mike Williams was and I was not talking about him in the story. The article is an opinion piece that was submitted to the opinion section of the news paper so I did include some of my opinions. There are some facts in there as well, but I never presented my opinions as if they were facts. Again, if you would have read the article you would probably know that. You are free to disagree but I don't understand the anger and the insults.
