I'm surprised how these stories bring out all of the tough guys who can only type in text message code. You guys aren't tough, Robert isn't a martyr and the sooner all you idiots kill each other off or find another town to stink up, the better this place will be.
Rhiannon Cannizzaro March 21, 2013 at 06:03 pm
R.I.P. Robert. Your memory lives on strong. <3
shannon McCart March 22, 2013 at 06:26 am
Its not about being tough, or about if we mean what we say or not. This is about a Man's life that was taken from this world in the worst possible way, by someone who was supossed to be his friend. You obviously had something against Robert to be so harsh Mr. Libertus_rebelium cause this is not the first negitive post I have seen from you. I feel sorry for you cause you feel you need to write BS because you feel so unhappy in life that you have to make yourself feel better by bashing a person who was MURDERED. Do you even believe in GOD????? Jacob Kober killed Robert Ogden, tell yourself a thousand fricken times if you have to but He is GUILTY. If we could have the chance to say what we wanted to say to him we would but he is locked up in jail being charged for MURDER. MAYBE YOUR THE PROBLEM WITH THE STINK....
shannon McCart March 22, 2013 at 11:45 am
@XxLxX Really???? What is your point. You would rather show your immaturity and talk shit then realize what the reality is here. Do u understand that if Buddy Lee was not in Jail PCd up then he would absolutely get smashed on by so many people. So go ahead and look stupid because you got a lot more people to talk shit to then HOMEBOY
MsGotUrBack March 23, 2013 at 04:21 pm
Shannon, I agree that no one should be killed like Robert was. So unless you were there, and saw what happened then maybe you should quit talking S&#% about Buddy Lee. I don't know if he really did it. I would like to think that he didn't. If he did do it then ask yourself why? I know Buddy Lee very well and his bro's before ho's attitude. None of this makes since. But, the last time I checked, a person was innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. So it's not your place to be informing the world that Buddy Lee is guilty. As of right now it is just an opinion and like ass holes everyone's got one and your mouth has the runs. I am surprised that no one has smashed on you yet like you have wished on Buddy Lee. Were you a friend of Buddy Lee? Would Robert have done the same thing if the situation was reversed. You should really find out the actual facts of the situation before running your mouth like you think you know everything. I know you are all butt hurt and whatever, but seriously, grow up. Robert did a lot of things to a lot of people. He made a lot of people angry at him. It is a shame that he died the way that he did. But Robert knew that it comes that way when you play the game, and Robert was playing the game and being loyal to no one but himself, his habits and his way of life.
libertus_rebelium March 23, 2013 at 08:20 pm
Thanks Shannon but I'm very happy. I do believe in God, one that empowered me with a moral compass but free choice. If that god sounds familiar, then I guess these guys had a moral compass and free choice too. That being the case, they turned away from it, made poor choices and paid the price. I do not think it is our social duty to put up with this behavior or show compassion for those that would make victims out of strangers... both these guys did just that. So go ahead and pray for their souls or families or their victims' happiness or whatever. I'll pray they get what is coming to them and we'll see which God answers first.

Second day of Roberts court Roberts Mom, Rene, Jr, and others were there. Jacob kober arrives in REDS!! Chained up looking very upset he seems to not be able to get a lawyer looking worried. Next court date April 4th 9:00am Dept 701. As he happened to walk back in he turned and made eye contact with Roberts mom and she says to him " your shit". He put his head down shook it and went in.
shannon McCart March 27, 2013 at 01:48 am
LIKE I SAID HES PC'D UP...............
Cherry March 27, 2013 at 02:54 am
What is "In Reds PC'D up" mean?
Ryan Sherman March 27, 2013 at 02:15 pm
Protective Custody. Basically he is isolated from other inmates and is locked in his cell for 23 hours a day and fed thru a port on his door. The red outfit is an indicator of said status. He is also handcuffed and shackled whenever he is let out.
Cherry March 27, 2013 at 06:32 pm
THANK YOU RYAN!
Dennis March 28, 2013 at 05:21 am
You people seem to know quite a bit of jail terminology. It's almost like a few of you have been through the system a time or two.
This is very sad and I feel for his family, especially if a child will be without a father. Get your stuff together people or it will be a very long life...
Dirt March 30, 2013 at 06:21 pm
I know for a fact that he is not in PC and is in the hole like XxLxX said.
Dirt March 30, 2013 at 06:29 pm
@ Steven Hevle If you were really as gangster as you say you are you would get locked up on purpose and get up in the cell at chow time and make your feelings known.
MsGotUrBack March 30, 2013 at 09:53 pm
Hevle is too afraid of Buddie Lee to get thrown in jail with him. It's too easy to hang around San Leandro hiding behind his computer talking smack about him instead. For once Steven gets to feel tough even if it's only in his mind.

I know there is not much going on in Idaho. I suggest that you grow some potatoes. Maybe you'll earn a few bucks and not depend on the charity of others to help you out. At least I don't have to put up with the pleasure of having you in the court room. You were lucky to make it to Rob's service. Maybe you should go back to school. Education is a good thing and is something that you are obviously lacking. As for court. I didn't see momma pot head say anything to Buddy Lee. Maybe if she got a place to live and quit spending all of her money at her connects house she could think more clearly and get more rest. I know there has got to be some comfort issues with living in a car. I do feel sorry for her. But trying to be a bad ass to Buddy Lee shows her total lack of self respect and class. Not to mention maturity level. I really don't think that she intimidates him much. Maybe she will sick her scrawny stupid little drunk worthless friend Mark on him. I'm sure he has warrants and could easily get a room next to Buddy Lee. I am really trying to feel sympathetic for all of you, but, you are not making it easy. It would be a good idea if you if you'd just shut your face. You don't know what you are talking about and you just look like an idiot.

buddy lee told people that he shot rob after it happened, hope he burns in hell
Gabbie April 15, 2013 at 05:19 pm
Rob needed his family ,his mom was rarely there for him had she been there while he was is hs early teens when it counted the most maybe things would of turned out
Different for the poor boy . Always putting her self first consumeded with only self knowin that her son was Going down the wrong road and instead of helping him she pushed him to the streets and left it up to his friends parents to help him and look over him he was a real good guy and will be missed F
MsGotUrBack April 18, 2013 at 04:23 pm
Ironically, Rachael is a day late and a dollar short. It is nice that she can pull herself out of the swamp that she calls home and make it to court in her support Rob T-shirt. She is usually so twacked out during court that the uncontrollable perpetual motion kicks in and she turns into Momma Swamp Thing. Maybe if she would have worn that T-shirt while Rob was alive, things might be different now.
MsGotUrBack May 8, 2013 at 09:43 pm
Ohmymy.....Another case of Bobs friends cousins uncles grandmas brothers friends aunt knew someone who knew someone who's sisters boy friends brothers friends cousin son heard something.....Shut the F#&% up already. This is ridiculous. Every little gang banging piece of crap on here talking smack about what they heard from their nameless anonymous imaginary friend. Ohmymy, I hope you burn in hell bitch. What your saying is slanderous hearsay. Why don't you listen to something factual for a change. You're stupid, whorish, and ugly. Why don't you mind your own business and read a self help book.
MsGotUrBack May 11, 2013 at 03:37 am
Shannon, you are just sowing away aren't you. I bet you can't wait to see what all of your sowing reaps for you. You don't know what your talking about. I didn't hear a jury or a judge say that he is guilty. Momma Swamp Thing showed up with her entourage in court to hear Buddy Lee's plea. But it got pushed to another date. Do you think when he pleas not guilty that she will try to be a bad ass again and lunge at him from the opposite side of the bullet proof partition? Maybe even claim to call him shit out loud this time. Maybe it's just her guilt for being such a bad mother. If he would have been raised better he probably wouldn't have done what ever he did to piss someone off enough to kill him. From what I hear it wasn't Buddy Lee at all. When I walked in the court room that Buddy Lee was already in there. Buddy's mom and grandma were in the front row and Swamp Momma and gang were sitting in the back seats where they couldn't see Buddy Lee. They are like one breathe away from being kicked out of the court proceedings because they try to act all bad ass and gangsta.

MsGotUrBack I love how you get on your computer and talk a bunch of smack thinking your a badass. Well you're not. You're hiding behind a computer screen you dumb bitch! I also love how at the end of court ALL you Jacob supporters just sit in the court room all scared to move until Robert's family is gone. Question for you. How the fuck would you show up to court if your son was murdered and you had to face the guy that did it??? Show some respect to Rachael or at least have the balls to say all this shit to her face and not just hide in the court house!
Rest in paradise Rob June 8, 2013 at 02:20 pm
Oh and another thing MsGotUrBack how about you lay off the dope and going on Livermore Patch thinking your badass and posting comments at 3:37 A.M....

Wow, so quick to jump to conclusions and judge. Maybe T.G. BUYS the child's lunch. Every schoolRead More sells hot lunch every day. At the majority of our schools, more lunches are bought than given for free.
DeAnna Senft McDaid June 13, 2013 at 12:43 pm
The schools give us 2 options as parents. 1. Buying lunches on campus or 2. Send them with a lunch.Read More Clearly the author of this chose number 1 and the school was OUT leaving the child with NO 3rd option. Shame on that school.
Jason Morgan June 9, 2013 at 09:33 pm
A great issue! However, the rodeo is nothing but animal cruelty wrapped up as "tradition"Read More and "entertainment". Why would the animal's welfare become a concern now? Rodeo performers have been documented beating, kicking, and shocking normally docile cows and horses in chutes and holding pens. "Bucking broncos" and steers are provoked with electric prods, sharp sticks, caustic ointments, and the pinching "bucking" strap, which is what really makes them jump, they are not "wild" and "dangerous" . The cowboys earn points by spurring the bucking horse. I have seen them up close and many are bleeding. Calves, roped when running, have their necks snapped back by the lasso, often resulting in neck and back injuries, bruises, broken bones, and internal bleeding. After their short and painful "careers," animals in rodeos are sent to the slaughterhouse. Dr. C.G. Haber, a veterinarian who spent 30 years as a federal meat inspector, describes the animals discarded from rodeos for slaughter as being "so extensively bruised that the only areas in which the skin was attached [to the flesh] was the head, neck, leg, and belly. I have seen animals with six to eight ribs broken from the spine and, at times, puncturing the lungs. I have seen as much as 2 to 3 gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin." Every national animal protection organization opposes rodeos because of their inherent cruelty. Don't feel bad everyone, I used to love the rodeo too. Before I knew better...
Bonbrwneyes June 10, 2013 at 09:13 pm
Something to consider and not pushing it aside because I feel its unimportant, but what I'd love toRead More have access to is how the riders that were hurt are doing today. Two bull riders got gored, one in the back and he was down and out for a bit and then obviously not "okay" as he stumbled out of the arena and then another that got his leg hurt and he couldn't get himself over the gate on his own. Left saturday's Rodeo hoping they were okay and would love follow up if at all possible. Thanks!

Thank you! That is what we want to know too. We have had more power outages this week than in theRead More 20+ years total that we have lived in this house!
Lynn June 8, 2013 at 07:03 pm
It would be nice to know, indeed. When my husband called to report the outage the recording saidRead More there were no outages in our area, which was clearly incorrect.
AT June 9, 2013 at 06:00 pm
I got the same thing, no outages when I called. I requested to be contacted by PG&E to explainRead More the problem. No call for that but I did get a "survey" call about their automated system. We have also lived here for 20+ years and never had this many outages.

Great photos, Kathie..was the horse being evacuated?
