Neighbors 'never heard' of Groveland man before shooting in Interst...

Full story: Vallejo Times-Herald

Until he "snapped" and entered the public eye by way of a gunbattle with California Highway Patrol officers Saturday in Oakland, almost no one had heard of the town Byron Williams called home -- and almost no one in town had heard of him.

I'm sure he will find solace in your statement when he becomes Bubba's princess in prison.

And your brain is up your freaking ass! Anybody who advocates killing people that don't support your agenda (be in on the left or right fringe!) is idiotic beyond belief. No surprise that you throw a racist jab at Obama in there either. Stick your stupid head back up Rush Limbaugh's skanky asshole where it belongs!

Shay had to jump on this, it was a white guy!!! Ignorance is so predictable. This story must have made your pathetic day. This dude is a 2 striker and has served more than his share of time, Bubba won't be trying anything with him. Did you see him?

Served more than his share of time? Are you sniffing glue? He should have served a MUCH longer time for the previous crimes, but that's not how it works, unfortunately for the public. This guy is a waste of space and it sounds like his mom is probably as bad, given her "revolution" comment.

I feel sad for the people of Groveland. I visit there quite often and for the most part, the people are warm and friendly. Hopefully this will go away quickly for them.

By his share of time, I meant he is no stranger to prison. I completely agree that he should have served more time for the initial crimes! I was merely commenting to Shay that he is no "fish" when he goes back in and will more likely be a predator behind bars than prey. I in no way am saying he "paid his debt to society". I agree with all you stated, perhaps I was not clear.

More interesting to me is the obvious lack of communications between the various law enforcement agencies. He served time but the warrent didn't catch up to him until after he was out? That is unbelievable. Glad he is off the streets but he should meet up with the grim reaper - the sooner the better!

LOL, I will let you know when/if it happens. Meanwhile you keep complaining about us taxpayers funding your crack habit and how we keep you down. YOU are the reason Vallejo is a ghetto and nearly everyone here, other than your pathetic @$$ knows it. My only hope is that one day I will read about one of your beloved, misunderstood hoodies targeting you and succeeding. That is a great first step for improving Vallejo. As long as ghetto rats like yourself live here, this place is doomed.
It does figure that you would appreciate comments degrading one's dead mother, that is exactly your level of class. Your mother must be very proud.
Meanwhile keep spewing your ignorance, it is funny, especially when you try to sound as though you are educated beyond 3rd grade.
On a final note, quit blaming Burkey for impersonating you. You are nowhere near signifigant enough for anyone to pretend to be you.

Crazy, rather than label it Ghetto and suffer the venom associated with the inference, how about the more appropriate connotation: Crabpot

No lie, none of your ilk in Walnut Creek, thank GOD!. You can't buy your own purple drank, let alone me! I will post here as I choose, like it or not. You obviously don't have to respond, I won't be hurt. Look at the bright side, you got rid of another taxpaying white citizen, congratulations! Your goal of a complete ghetto got a little bit closer to reality last week as no taxpayers are moving INTO Vallejo.
I will take pompous over ignorant, racist, leeching moron any day. The more you dislike me, the better. You are the poster child for what the good citizens of Vallejo are trying to avoid, and there are many, many people here that agree.
Keep your racism alive Shay, it gives you something to do during the day.

Hey, I like that, crabpot. I would hate to insult crabs by including Shay in that group though. Some people can ONLY be described as ghetto, and Shay fits the bill.
FYI, I was finally fortunate enough to sell my Vallejo house at a minimum loss compared to what I expected and have moved to Walnut Creek. You may note, Shay is butt hurt, but what else is new? Shay is always butt hurt until a white guy gets busted, then she's in hog heaven.(pun intended).
I do wish all the good people of Vallejo the best and hope it gets better sooner rather than later.

That is NOT what the taped interviews by KCRA Channel 3 folks revealed in talking with two of the neighbors.

So... who's right and who's wrong? Why? What's the agenda here?

Groveland is 18 miles from the Northern entrance to Yosemite National Park. It is part of the historic John Muir Trail and home to many of the workers of Hetch Hetchy- the main water supply of the City and County of San Francisco. This unfortunate is not a good representation of this town or people of this area.

It has nothing to do with the town of Groveland! This crazy motherf***er could come from any town or city, big or small or medium sized, in America! Hardly a week goes by when do don't read about some loser with a chip on his shoulder going out for revenge in a murderous rage. Ex wives, girlfriends, employers, government agencies (big or small)...they can all be the victims of these misguided fools. There was a more innocent time in America when these incidents were extremely rare but that was before TV and movies and video games and rap lyrics glorified and condoned revenge and violence. Right wing talk radio and TV and all the bullshit on the web don't help the situation! Nowadays everybody thinks they are Rambo and that their shit doesn't stink!
