Who rides the CB 1100?

What the heck?

I'm a 47-year-old deputy district attorney. I've been a prosecutor for roughly 15.5 years. For the past 8+ years I've been assigned to the Gang Prosecution Unit where I've largely specialized in prosecuting Mexican cartel violence that crosses into our jurisdiction. Murders, shootings, robberies, kidnappings for ransom. That sort of thing. Recently, I was assigned to lead a team of gang prosecutors in our southern branch. My office is less than 10 miles from the border with Mexico. In addition to the cartel violence, I also prosecute members of what are considered traditional, turf-oriented street gangs. More murders, shootings, stabbings, home invasion robberies, carjackings, etc. Some of these gang members are also members or associates of the Mexican Mafia (not to be confused with Mexican drug cartels).

The southern portions of our county have a large concentration of Hispanic residents and, as a result, much of the gang violence I currently prosecute is perpetrated by Hispanic street gangs. When I worked out of our downtown office, we had a broader range of gangsters to deal with - Hispanic, African-American, Asian, White, along with the cartel, Mexican Mafia, and various motorcycle gangs. I've seen some awful, unimaginable things over the course of my career. Motorcycling, and in particular, my amazing CB and my brothers here on the forum, provide me with much needed balance. Riding allows me to clear my head and recharge. Meditation in motion. I suppose that's why so many of my posts here tend to be light-hearted and attempts at humor. Just trying to keep that balance in my life. Thanks for putting up with my nonsense.

MG .. this is nothing short of amazing . will you eventually be writing a book?
stay safe.

Thanks jrns. I just might write that book. I've had the privilege of prosecuting some incredible cases against some very bad people. As far as staying safe, there are some (now) interesting stories there as well. Like having to explain to my wife how to put on a bullet proof vest if it becomes necessary and that the man with the rifle in our living room is one of our best assigned to executive protection and we're going to be just fine. My wife took it incredibly well.

I'll have to find a way to work in the CB1100 forum and all of you guys into the book! Haha.
