Manteca's Bench of Death. Yosemite at Main St. Manteca, CA. Not an optical illusion.

Improvements to downtown: $3.1 million in tax money....
Cowering behind a rock in the middle of the street: Priceless.


 

Bench of Death from the other side. Don't worry, that truck will probably not back over you. Have a seat.  
From: Joe  06/11/2005 17:45:13
Taken with a medium telephoto which can make things appear close -- otherwise not an optical illusion, the truck is about a meter from the bench.

another one. Near Northgate and Main, Manteca, CA.

I don't want to think of how dangerous this election is; particularly 79 and 80, both of which will increase poverty greatly. (just what we need!)   For more information, see "Joe's Voter Guide®"

Young man harassed for wearing unapproved clothing. Library Park, Manteca, CA  
From: me  02/11/2007 08:03:12
what an idiot, that's a lame title you came up with for this photo. He's not being harassed for wearing 'unapproved clothing'. He's not being harassed at all. you're an idiot.

From: Joe aka "the idiot"  03/11/2007 02:33:17
From what I can recall of the context of when that photo was taken, the cop was lecturing the kid on how he was wearing some kind of uniform and how he should expect "trouble" or something along those lines. "Harassment" is in the eye of the beholder sometimes. The Manteca Bulletin article on 20 Aug 2005 had the headline "Cops head-off possible gang trouble" and it goes into there was some possible gang fight (somewhere) and 10 police cars rounded up all these youths in Library Park for some kind of impromptu street "line up" with two school officials to identify the kids. The article says this was some effort to "put the squeeze on gang activity." In the photo above, I sort of caught the end of the incident.

Area man expresses his outrage at the Manteca tree incident. Tree pictured is the same species that was cut down.

He's 'outraged'? ewwww. you're funny.

Happy Pumpkin Festival!

From: me again  02/11/2007 08:08:14
hey, do you think maybe the guy being 'harassed' did this? You sound like another cop hater.


 

Mantecans enjoy the relaxing Library Park.  
From: me again  02/11/2007 08:11:50
if the police talked to these people and sent them on there way so that parents and the children could play in the park would that be harassing these people in your 'mind'? If the police directed these people to a place where they could get some help / guidance would you call that harassment too?

Welcome to your new home. Now don't screw up. We got our eyes on you.  
From: me again  02/11/2007 08:14:26
yeah, and your point? What, you don't want the police to aggressively look for crime? so you are not only a cop hater but a criminal / criminal supporter? Idiot!

Evidently people get very tired around here.

From: It's me again  02/11/2007 08:17:22
so let me guess, you don't like what goes on in this place but you probably don't want the police talking to the people in here and investigating crime so they can stop it from continuing. That would be another case of 'harassment'.


 

This may be the structure named  
From: me one more time  02/11/2007 08:19:19
does the guy in the red shirt that was being harassed hang out here?


 

 
From: Joe  26/07/2004 13:37:18
It's hard to believe, but all of city government fit in this building at one time.

did the area businesses oppose the former book store that was at the site of the church? The book store was Mary's Christian Book Store and was there before these businesses were there.
