  4. To your response William “That part”. No its not typical Palmdale. I’ve been here since 87″… Never is it typical here. But unfortunately these things do happen from time to time. Typical would be For example Los Angeles.. But no matter where we move or live it’s bound to happen. Unfortunately It’s called LIFE/REALITY.

You cant get through.but 70theast goes thru North bound. We have plenty space here to drive back streets. I hope they fine the person or people who done this. It’s a long was out in people don’t even to think of something like that could happen my prayers for this victim ,family.we all have to be very careful and this days of life.
