This isnt the 1st time this has happened; Nov 22nd, 2017… Oct 24th, 2017.
Valencia isnt the Utopia that everyone believes it to be. Homeless all over the place, Newhall gangs, registered child molesters by the dozens. Dont fool yourselves SCV is turning into the next Van Nuys…just look around.
Thx God they got this joke. What does he think he’s doing. I would have kicked his as$ before the Sheriffs came..
