LOCAL VOICES
The San Diego-based destroyer Decatur, which returned from deployment to the western Pacific less than two weeks ago, echoed with cheers Sunday night when President Barack Obama announced that U.S. forces had killed Osama bin Laden.
“This is a great victory for the U.S. military and for the American people. Sept. 11 is still fresh in my mind. I remember my initial reaction of sadness, and what was to come in the future. I told my guys, ‘We do this for a reason, and that is to defend our country.’”

In February 2012, the nationâs eyes were on Mesa as the four remaining Republican candidates for president debated. Among those eyes were those of FBI agents who were keeping tabs on a local Neo-Nazi by the name of JT Ready who was amongst the attendees at the Mesa Arts Center.Â
Three months later, Ready would kill his girlfriend and her family â including an infant â in a murder-suicide.Â
âJT Ready was seen speaking with several unidentified subjects at the end of the Republican GOP party debate hosted in Mesa, Arizona,â FBI agents wrote in their report, which was made public under the Freedom of Information Act. âNo criminal activity was observed.âÂ
