Neighborhood shocked after elderly woman brutally killed Northeast Bakersfield News
Watch the video. It is sad and is too, too close to home. This is a local news video of a story of an 81 year old women who was killed by two possibly three people for no apparent reason because nothing was taken from the house. How can someone do something like this? This was some bodies mother, sister, aunt, cousin, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend and she lived about a block away from my Grandmother. Something needs to be done about the lack of respect that people show our elders these days and we need some more police support for East Bakersfield as well. One day my Grandma called the cops because there were two men sitting on her lawn smoking and drinking who she did not know. They used her water hose in the front yard to drink some water and wash their hand and yet no one showed up. My Grandmother will be 80 years old next month and when my uncle, who lives with her, got home and asked the guys what they were doing and told them they needed to leave, they responded with "Well the old lady was asleep in the house on a chair so we didn't think she'd mind." My uncle got home three hours after my Grandma called the cops and they never showed up to my Grandma's house. Now with this happening I fear for my Grandma's safety.

Slideshows of real life events

My slide show is here I chose this because it showed the emotion the community went through with the loss of, at the time, 25 miners. There was a sign of support for the miners hanging from a house and a veteran shows respect for those who died by putting the flag at half-mast. The slide that touched me the most was the picture of the children watching the news of their dad who had died in the mine. As a mom, I think that would be the worse thing to see, is my child having to watch a terrible event that her dad was involved in. The next thing is the fact that this mine had recorded an injury rate worse than the national average for similar operations. The last slide really ends it the way this story is going to end. The end is in a church after a vigil for the victims of the blast, really bringing things to an end.
