New ordinance proposed to control sex
offenders
RIVERSIDE “”mdash; An emergency ordinance introduced by the
county board of supervisors would toughen an existing law on where
paroled sexual felons can live.
Under Tuesday’s proposal, sex offenders would be
prohibited from living within five miles of places where children
normally gather.
State law already prohibits sex offenders from being within a
quarter mile of public schools in unincorporated areas of the
county.
Supervisors also want the state to provide 60 days notice before
a sex offender is released into a community.
Compton residents airgrievances with
sheriff
COMPTON “”mdash; Angry residents poured out their emotions
Wednesday to Sheriff Lee Baca following a shooting in which 10
deputies fired more than 100 rounds at an unarmed driver.
Baca met with the community and heard concerns about a range of
topics that included everything from unsolved murders to racial
profiling. Dozens of people spoke with Baca, who sat in the crowd
at a community center, and demanded answers and accountability for
the deputies’ actions.
“˜”˜We need to know now why does it always happen in
our community,” said Mollie Bell, a longtime Compton
resident.
“˜”˜When will (law enforcement) turn around and say
they are wrong? If the leadership doesn’t say it’s
wrong, it will keep happening.”
Baca said the meeting will be the first in a series of
discussions with Compton residents about the shooting and their
concerns.
“˜”˜We’re here to listen, but also here to
explain. We’re here to tell the good, the bad and the
ugly,” he said.
Before the meeting, Baca visited and talked with residents on
the street where deputies fired 120 shots at an unarmed driver in a
pre-dawn attack Monday that was captured on an amateur
videotape.
