    Sedona AZ (November 16, 2014) – At 7:30 PM yesterday, November 15, 2014, YCSO was contacted by the wife of 57-year-old David Polcyn, to report him missing. David was hiking a portion of Forest Road 618 south of the Beaver Creek Campground (beginning at FS 9201J) and was expected to arrive at the Bell Trailhead around 5PM. David had supplies with him including food, water and warm clothing. Attempts to reach/track his cell phone since the initial call to YCSO have been unsuccessful. The Polcyn’s are from Sedona. David does have prior hiking experience and no major health concerns.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
