Very interesting to see one of Grand Terrace's finest (T. Leon Berry) who has also been listed on the recent GT Arrest list with such a fine group of people!Birds of a feather!

The membership of the Community Awareness Group has no idea why or how there is any connection between the membership and Mr. Berrys' arrest. We have no idea who he is or why the blogmaster even referred to the Group and this person in the same paragraph. We are as a whole dumbfounded as to what the connection is or even how it is made.I can assure all of you our members had nothing to do with his arrest or know what he was arrested for. Our focus is on issues that affect the citizens of Grand Terrace and making them aware. We leave the law enforcement to the police.

The Community Awareness group does not ask for your criminal history at the door when you come in. They have no way of knowing who has been arrested for what and to infer that we are a criminal organization shows the absolute ignorance of those making such a charge. If you want court case histories you need look no further than members and former members of the city council. Investigate for yourselves. Its an eye opener what some of the council and former council members have and are being brought to court over.

I believe the key word on the article is critics. The city is afraid of the people that bring information to the public they don't want known. I guess they will say and do anything to hurt those who tell the truth about them.

To those that cast aspersions. Had you taken the time to get the facts on Mr.Berry perhaps you would not have shot off your mouth being void of knowledge. I for one am proud and privilege to have him as my neighbor.As an attending citizen of the Awareness Group,and after discussing Mr. Berry with other members we are proud that he has chosen to be a part of the citizens group and all welcome him. We support you Tom.

GRANDPATERRACE PROVIDES THESE FACTS AND COMMENT:
CITIZEN of GT ARRAIGNMENT Date
Case 0505343079 Defendant 2079827 - BERRY, THOMAS LEON
ARRAIGNMENT07/07/2005 AT 8:00 AM DEPT. Case 0505343079 Defendant 2079827 - BERRY, THOMAS LEON S20
Critics of Citizens awareness Group suggest that the above arrest and arraignment casts a paler on the membership or the purpose of the group as a whole. This Blog has listed all arrests without regard to who is who is who. It has not listed all cases of individuals taken to court, for civil and business suites, or pending legal issues which did not originate from arrests in Grand Terrace. This blogs reporting of arrests is so that law enforcement can't be used as a selective tool of harassment by the city council or the City Manager. It may be interesting to know the whole story behind this case, but, the City's practice of not reporting crimes and making the situations known make full understanding difficult. In addition it is a cheap shot to identify a group which holds meetings in public, with no restrictions as to who walks in the door, with a particular individual who may have attended the meeting once, and could be a plant by the City For all one could know. Just because Mr. T Leon Berry was quoted at a meeting does not mean he represents the "Groups" Ideals, or Plans of Action. The Blogmaster included this post to show the maturity of the first comment trying to link Mr. Berrys case to that of the Community Awareness Group. This is a fiction, and smacks of mud slinging political tricks, a diversion or is it an attempt to intimidate other community activists in some way?
