Talk about having a bad day

FLORIN, Calif. — A man died after he was shot and later crashed into a utility pole in the Florin area of Sacramento County, officials said. 

A person called dispatchers around 6:30 p.m. Sunday from the intersection of Gerber and Power Inn roads reporting shots fired and a crash involving an SUV and a big rig, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said. Another caller, who said they were an emergency medical technician, also called about the SUV.

  2. I like researching towns I hadn't heard of before. The demographics of Florin is very strange. From the census of 2000 and 2010, the population grew 71%. Whites became a minority, non-families shot up 67%, rentals versus homeowners increased by similar percentages. Rental vacancies hover around 30%. And poverty shot up as well. Name the ethnicity, it ends in -can. No, the other one. You'd think a prison was built nearby.

    1. Try using city-data.com, it'll tell you everything you want to know about a particular city or town. Tons and tons of information there.

  3. South Sacramento.
    In the 1970s, I owned rental properties in the area.

    The area is synonymous with 'urban decay' and 'blight'.

    Florin Shopping Maul went bankrupt several times; it was notorious for hostages murdered by gangs.

    The security guards at the Wal*Mart patrol in teams of three or more... and are packing.

    Prior to Interstate Five diverting long-haul traffic, Highway 99 -- the 'Okie highway' --was nearby.
    As Caucasian folk working the trades aged-out, the population exploded with diversity.
    Clean and sober Spanish-speaking folks and Hmong build and prosper, other diverse individuals destroy.
    Occupants of 'earthquake cars' execute each other with boring regularity.

    South Sacramento has a 'special' charm.

  4. That Chinese Virus is a class A bitch, isn't it? Covid kills. If only he had been wearing a mask, he'd be all right today. /s
