BREAKING NEWS Out Of Southern California…
HELL YEAH!!!
A customer shot an armed robber through the drive-thru window at a Cozy Corner in Santa
Ana, CA, on Saturday night.
And it was all captured on surveillance video.
The robber was hit twice in the torso and collapsed just outside the fast food restaurant,
Gateway Pundit reports.
HELL YEAH!
KTLA reports:
Santa Ana police responded to the Cozy Corner Drive-In at 426 N. Harbor Blvd. shortly after
midnight Saturday.
Officers determined that a suspect was in the midst of a robbery, when someone in the
drive-thru shot at the alleged robber inside the restaurant, Cmdr.
Michael Claborn said.
The person responsible for the reported robbery stumbled outside, and was subsequently treated
on scene and taken to a hospital, Claborn stated.
Authorities did not release the alleged robber's name, but they said he was expected to survive
and that he was arrested on suspicion of robbery, the Orange County Register reported.
The shooter fled the scene, the commander told KTLA.
No description of that person was provided.
However, Claborn said the shooter was a customer who was waiting for his food in the drive-thru
line, the newspaper reported.
CBS Los Angeles adds:
The Cozy Corner's security cameras were rolling at 12:43 Saturday morning when police
say a masked man entered the restaurant with a black revolver and demanded money.
He threw a bag at one of the workers and demanded she fill it with cash.
Her hands shaking, she filled the bag.
As he grabbed the bag, shots rang out.
At least one shot hits the drink machine.
Next you see the man turns and he is wounded and falls to the floor.
"Tres balazos," said witness and restaurant cook Daniel Acevedo.
That translates into three bullets.
Detectives marked at least two bullet holes.
Acevedo said the shots came from the drive-thru window.
Security video shows a car fleeing into the night onto Harbor Boulevard.The shooter fled.
The would-be robber was found across the street from the eatery and taken to a hospital.
Laurie Perez sorts out the bizarre story.
HELL YEAH!
THAT DUDE WAS A GOOD SHOT!
Hopefully they got his order right and gave it to him on the house!
Just another reason to allow law abiding citizens to be allowed to carry firearms.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Straws. Bottle caps. Polyester. These are the new targets of California's environmental movement - Duration: 16:53.
It took years of activist campaigns to turn the plastic bag into a villain, and hard-fought legislation to reduce its presence in oceans and waterways
Now, environmentalists and lawmakers are deploying similar tactics against a new generation of plastic pollutants
There are drinking straws, which as a viral video shows can get stuck in a sea turtle's nose
The hundreds of thousands of bottle caps that wind up on beaches. And the microfibers that wash off polyester clothes, making their way into the ocean, the stomachs of marine life and ultimately our seafood
Advertisement Each is the subject of statewide legislation under debate in Sacramento, as California again considers new environmental law that's at once pioneering and controversial
Their action comes as plastic takes center stage as the environmental concern du jour
There could be more plastic by weight than fish in the world's oceans by 2050, according to a widely cited World Economic Forum report
A recent UC Davis study sampled seafood sold at local markets in Half Moon Bay and found that one-quarter of fish and one-third of shellfish contained plastic debris
A survey comparing 150 tap-water samples from five continents found synthetic microfibers in almost every sample — 94% in the United States
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is at 1.8 trillion pieces of trash, most of it plastic, and counting
The call to break the world's disposable-plastic habit is resonating, especially in California
More than half a dozen bills aimed at plastic pollution were introduced in Sacramento this year alone — by both coastal legislators and more moderate inland colleagues who see the potential damage not just in oceans but also rivers, lakes and the state's water supply
No one, they said, wants to drink a glass of water and wonder if they're also downing a glass of plastic
As the White House pulls back on environmental issues, California leaders say it's on them to push forward
The state, after all, was the first in the nation to ban single-use plastic bags, setting the stage for others to follow
When a state law barred exfoliating beauty products with plastic microbeads, the industry impact was so large the ban was adopted at the national level in President Obama's final year
"What we do has not just national, but international implications. We're the fifth-largest economy in the world," said Assembly Majority Leader Ian Calderon (D-Whittier), who introduced a bill this year that bars sit-down restaurants from providing plastic straws unless a customer requests one
"You better believe that if we do something and it works here, everyone's going to adopt it
" Read more: Plastic trash could top 13 billion tons by 2050. And recycling doesn't help much » Calderon has also teamed up with Assemblyman Mark Stone (D-Scotts Valley), a longtime environmental leader, on a law that would prohibit retailers from selling single-use plastic bottles with caps that do not remain tethered to the container after opening
A bill by Assemblyman Richard Hershel Bloom (D-Santa Monica), who had authored the microbeads bill and is a co-author on the straws and caps bills, requires all new clothing made with more than 50% synthetic material have a label that warns of microfiber shedding during washing
All three have passed committee and are expected to go to the Assembly floor this week
These bills have sparked intense pushback by conservatives and a coalition of manufacturers and industry groups
Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach), not shy to use Trumpian tactics in his campaign to be California's next governor, took to Twitter to lambaste the straw proposal
"California Democrat Leader Ian Calderon wants to ban PLASTIC STRAWS. Is there any part of your life that Democrats don't want to control? As Governor, this is exactly the type of legislation that I will VETO
" The concerns from the Plastics Industry Assn., California Chamber of Commerce, International Bottled Water Assn
and dozens of others have been more measured. Most have backed off on the straws bill, acknowledging that giving customers the option to request one was a reasonable compromise
Advertisement Their opposition questions the limited existing research on microfiber pollution and the approach of the bottle cap bill, saying these changes "would negatively impact tens of thousands of manufacturers and retailers that do business with California
" "We understand the desire to reduce plastic waste, but feel that this will not solve the problem," they said in a joint statement on the connect-the-cap bill
"A more effective approach would be to educate consumers about recycling lids with the bottles
" And while the microfiber issue is important, another coalition said, a label doesn't solve the problem, which needs more study, and would just cause confusion for consumers and create potential liability for producers
Nate Herman, senior vice president of supply chain for the American Apparel & Footwear Assn
, said an additional label would also "add extensive cost" to product development and ultimately would force companies to "add labeling to all impacted products even if being sold in other states
" Supporters say this year's suite of bills present a range of actions that could be taken to address plastic pollution: Encouraging change in consumer habits, requesting a redesign by manufacturers and raising public awareness — especially with microfiber
Synthetic fabrics such as polyester, nylon, acrylic and spandex are everywhere, and so are their sheddings
A Patagonia study found that a microfleece jacket could release more than 1,000 milligrams of microfibers per wash
Laundry machines today are not equipped to filter out microfibers, usually less than 5 millimeters long, and up to 40% of microfibers pass through wastewater treatment plants
The study, conducted with UC Santa Barbara, found that a single treatment plant discharged 3
73 billion microfibers, estimated at 179 pounds, per day. Some environmentalists were disappointed the bills — AB 1884, AB 2779 and AB 2379 — didn't go further
Others say any step toward a fundamental consumer or manufacturing change helps. Advertisement This is Stone's second year trying to get bottle manufacturers to redesign lids
In last-minute efforts to work with opposition before the bill went before Assembly, he scaled back the requirement to just plastic water bottles, not all beverage bottles
Smaller companies that sell bottled beverages will also be exempt. "Californians are becoming more interested in being responsible toward the impacts that plastics have on our environment, but trying to push through policy in Sacramento is a very different calculation," Stone said
"It took more than 125 local jurisdictions doing the plastic bag ban for the Legislature to finally say 'OK, we're going to step in
'" The state's plastic bag ban, which set off one of the fiercest lobbying battles in 2014, took eight years and has paved much of the way for today's bills
In 2016, plastic bag makers spent $6 million in an effort to convince voters to overturn the bag ban through two ballot measures
Californians upheld the ban, which went into effect at the end of that year. Shoppers have adapted with little grumbling and the economic impacts so far have not been dramatic, advocates say
The decline in bags found on beaches has been substantial: The number of plastic bags collected on the most recent annual Coastal Cleanup Day dropped more than 60% compared to 2010
Justin Malan of Ecoconsult, which works with the Clean Seas Lobbying Coalition, says California has come a long way from the days when it was a political "pitchfork battle against just about everybody except the coastal advocates
" "This issue has become much more mainstream," Malan said. "We don't have to fight some of those earlier environmental fights
" Helping the momentum are the many cities that have already banned plastic straws: Malibu, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach and San Luis Obispo
Considering the magnitude of the plastic problem, however, this item-by-item, city-by-city approach isn't a long-term solution, Heal the Bay President Shelley Luce said
"It's still cheaper for the manufacturer and the consumer to use single-use disposable plastic everything than it is to use a bamboo replacement or metal replacement or something that is more easily reused or recycled," Luce said
"We have to think about incentivizing new designs and helping manufacturers move toward new materials
" Sara Aminzadeh, a state coastal commissioner and executive director of California Coastkeeper Alliance, agrees that the more complete solution is part cultural, part market-driven
"Companies will need to take responsibility for the amount of plastic that they're producing," she said, "and we need to proactively acknowledge that and include them as part of the solution
" In Malibu, where restaurants and coffee shops have been testing paper and bamboo straws before the city's ban begins this summer, owners said the new rules might be a little more costly but worth it in the long run
Colette Richardson, manager of Le Cafe de la Plage by Point Dume, said she's also switching to wooden spoons to serve the cafe's handcrafted ice cream
Her last 10 boxes of plastic straws will be donated to a local artist, who's collecting from businesses around town to create a public sculpture
Sitting outside, Jimmy Summerall considered what it would be like using a paper straw for the smoothie and iced coffee he had just purchased from SunLife Organics
Wouldn't it get soggy? He's good about recycling but admits straws are not the first item he thinks of when it comes to being environmentally friendly
Summerall is not one to ask for straws, he said, and only finds himself using them when a shop sticks one in his beverage
"I'll definitely be thinking about straws more," he said. "You really can't unsee it

A California volcano once obliterated a forest and propelled ash 280 miles. Experts say it offers a - Duration: 14:13.
Lassen Peak had been rumbling for days. Glowing hot rocks bounded down the slopes
Lava was welling up into a freshly created crater. Then, on this day 103 years ago, it exploded in a way California would never forget
It created a gigantic mushroom cloud that reached an altitude of 30,000 feet, could be seen as far away as Eureka and Sacramento and sent volcanic ash as far away as 280 miles, reaching Elko, Nev
Advertisement It was the first volcanic eruption in the contiguous 48 states since the founding of the United States, and the last until Mt
St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980. And it was a reminder not only of how California is threatened by earthquakes, but how volcanoes are a part of life in a state that sits in the Ring of Fire
As the world focuses on the volcanic show in Hawaii, the Lassen Peak eruption offers a lesson of the threat closer to home
California's volcano threat "California is not just earthquake country. It is also volcano country," said Margaret Mangan, the scientist in charge of the U
S. Geological Survey's California Volcano Observatory. There have been 10 eruptions in California over the last 1,000 years, and in any given year the chance of a major volcanic eruption in the state is about the same as the risk of a major earthquake on the San Andreas fault
"Our nearly forgotten hazard is our volcanoes," state geologist John Parrish once said
Including the Lassen Volcanic Center, there are eight volcanic regions considered worth watching for future eruptions in California, according to the USGS, from the far north of the state to near the Mexican border
Most have been confirmed to have partly molten rock underneath them. Some of California's most scenic wilderness spots are threatened by volcanic activity
More than 190,000 Californians live within a volcano hazard zone; among them are people who live or work in the Long Valley region, home to Mammoth Lakes in Mono County, a favorite destination of skiers from Southern California, and areas in the shadow of Mt
Shasta, such as the towns of Mount Shasta and Weed. Those cities are close enough to volcanoes that they may be in harm's way in the next eruption, Mangan said
A ring of fire Volcanoes in the Lassen, Shasta and Long Valley areas are capable of producing pyroclastic flows or surges when they do erupt — fast-moving flows of hot ash, rock and gas sweeping down the sides of mountains, of the type that killed 57 people when Mt
St. Helens erupted in 1980. Most of the volcanoes are far from California's largest cities and several produce heat that's used to generate electricity in what are the world's most productive geothermal power plants, such as the Salton Buttes 160 miles southeast of Los Angeles and the Clear Lake Volcanic Field 85 miles north of San Francisco, which powers the Geysers steam field
But volcanic eruptions could have lasting repercussions that could affect all of California
Volcanic ash could bring down jetliners and disrupt hundreds of flights daily passing through Northern California or the Mammoth Mountain area
In 2010, the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano forced the cancellation of 100,000 flights in a single week
Volcanic ash, when wet, is conductive and can disrupt high-voltage lines that supply electricity to millions of California homes
Ash could disrupt travel on Interstate 5, the main route between California and Oregon, masking windshields and making roads slippery, even impassable
And it could contaminate water supplies to much of the state; California's largest reservoirs are close to the Shasta and Lassen volcanoes
If there's any good news, it's that major volcanic activity is usually accompanied by some warning signs, and scientists have become much better at forecasting major events before they happen, enabling authorities to sound warnings to reduce the chance of deaths
"We aim to make that number zero," said USGS volcano scientist Wendy Stovall. Volcano scientists have done well so far at forecasting hazards associated with Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island in recent weeks
After a lava-containing crater collapsed, scientists tracked a pattern of earthquakes eastward, suggesting magma was on the move and would eventually come to the surface
It did so in the neighborhood of Leilani Estates, about 25 miles east of the volcano's summit, where lava has destroyed dozens of structures
Scientists also correctly forecast the steam-driven explosions at the summit. Assessing the threat Volcano science has come a long way since the deadly 1980 eruption of Mt
St. Helens, which is the most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest and is in a remote part of Washington state
Those who died generally had been within 15 miles of the volcano. There were signs that magma was moving underneath the volcano in the months before the eruption, but how it unfolded caught scientists by surprise
Advertisement Instead of from the top, the eruption occurred from the side of the volcano — sending magma pressurized with gas erupting out horizontally instead of vertically, said Seth Moran, scientist in charge of the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory
Because the initial direction of the pyroclastic flow was aimed horizontally, it traveled much farther on land from the summit than had been anticipated, and killed people who were beyond a zone of evacuation
Such pyroclastic flows are so hot they will burn flesh and sear lungs; too much ash can also make it hard to breathe
California's volcanoes were more prolific in prehistoric times. About 760,000 years ago, a super eruption occurred at what is now known as the Long Valley Caldera, erupting an astonishing 140 cubic miles of magma, covering much of east-central California in glowing hot ash and blowing ash as far away as Nebraska
(Mt. St. Helens, by contrast, erupted only 0.05 cubic miles of material.) There is no sign that there is enough magma underneath Long Valley to cause another super eruption, Stovall said
Wilderness obliterated An eruption can be preceded by months of volcanic instability
At Lassen, where the magma is usually very viscous — kind of like a crystalline mush — new magma began lifting up toward the surface in 1914, rejuvenating the stagnant magma beneath the volcano, said USGS volcano scientist Mike Clynne
Initially, the magma caused groundwater to heat up, producing steam-fueled explosions, eventually blasting out a crater at Lassen Peak
It would take about a year for magma to come up to the surface. By May 15, 1915, viscous lava started pooling up and filling up the crater
That had the effect of plugging up a hole at the volcano, and pressurized gas started collecting underneath it
On May 19, there was an explosion that threw blocks of hot rock down the slopes of the snow-covered volcano, Clynne said, triggering a half-mile-wide avalanche of rock and snow
As the snow melted, it turned into a debris flow downstream for about 9 miles. After two days of quiet, the big eruption finally came
On May 22, new magma ascended from below, this time far more quickly, and exploded from the summit, causing a huge mushroom cloud eruption — similar to the kind that Pliny the Elder saw when Mt
Vesuvius exploded in the year 79. A pyroclastic flow was sent flying down the northeast flank of the volcano, creating a zone now known as the Devastated Area
The flow knocked trees down and destroyed everything in its path — 3 square miles of wilderness was obliterated
The pyroclastic flow melted snow and sent a volcanic debris flow — called a lahar — raging down for 15 miles down Lost Creek, and fueled floodwaters to hit Hat Creek
Advertisement Steam explosions would continue through 1917. In the grand scheme, Lassen's eruption was small, relatively speaking; Mt
St. Helens' eruption in 1980 was 30 times bigger, Clynne said. Sometimes it's not the pyroclastic flows that prove so deadly; sometimes it's the ice and snow quickly melting during the eruption that pose the greatest threat
The 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in Colombia killed 25,000 people — but was so deadly only because the melting water triggered mudflows
"They didn't know it was coming. It happened at night," Clynne said. In the eruption of Indonesia's remote Krakatau volcano in 1883, it was the top of the mountain caving in that triggered a tsunami that struck Java and Sumatra islands, killing as many as 36,000 people
Ongoing monitoring of volcanoes is critical to forecasting when something is amiss, Mangan said in a recent public lecture
USGS scientists detected such a problem in 2008, when a cluster of earthquakes suggested instability on the tiny island that's home to Kasatochi volcano in Alaska, and where employees of the U
S. Fish and Wildlife Service were located. An order went out to evacuate as there was nowhere to hide on that island
"And about 10 hours later, the volcano erupted," Mangan said. "The island was coated in pyroclastic flows and ash
And lives were saved." ron.lin@latimes.com @ronlin
