We're nothing if not responsive here at the Voice so when we get a request from a reader we try to accommodate it. Fortunately Paloma Ave.'s request for a post on government censorship at the local level is something we've been thinking about. I feel for city officials trying to maintain media contact, take in requests and comments in a modern fashion and yet having to maintain some on-line decorum. It's not like we haven't had to deal with the same thing here for 17 years. We want vigorous discussion and debate and that comes in many forms and temperatures.
Under the heading of "City Addresses Rumor With Fact" on the City website is the "For the Record" page. Aside from burlingame.org, the City also monitors SeeClickFix via the AccessBurlingame module. That is where Paloma Ave.'s concern about shutting down conversation originated.
Please post a new thread about "Censorship at Access Burlingame". Here is the thread: 1399 Broadway Burlingame
DESCRIPTION We have run into this street creature periodically around town. She can be remarkably obnoxious, asking for money or asking passers-by to purchase alcohol for her (apparently she is not welcomed in many of the stores around Burlingame). She has great command of vulgarity. We've been yelled at.
I'll paste the rest of the comment into a comment on this thread. At issue is the notation from the Police Chief (verified official) shutting down the thread for inappropriate language. The issue of Shirley's behavior on Broadway goes back more than a decade, so perhaps we are working up to a better solution now that it's getting more visibility via social media. I'd hate for it to get to the point where someone gets hurt and we all look in the rear view mirror and ask "Why?"
speaking of police activity, on my walks I often see the police at Howard and Channing. Usually 2 times a month. What is going on there?

The is an old drunk/drug addict who used to live there. He can't seem to stay away. He is the most arrested male in Burlingame.
I wondered if he knows the most arrested female in Burlingame?
George, meet Shirley. Shirley, this is George.

Remember Otis, the town drunk?
He would just take himself to jail and sleep it off.

Welcome to California

How can this stop and the person get help. Where is the failure? Can the community, city or county officials step in and help this person? Its very sad.
