In the Know, with all due respect, you should consider changing your moniker..you missed my point by at least a mile. You are assuming the "victim" was not charged, whereas I feel there should be a charge and accountability for returning, not notifying law enforcement, and re-kindling the fight. To put it plainly, the "victim" has accountability as well, to whatever extent he/she was involved (how's that for non biased). The article states/implies, the "victim" went back after a previous altercation and struck FIRST...let's ponder that...at what point would you suggest he aggressor be re-categorized as a victim? Had he/she not returned, this never would've happened. An assault at the least, plus other minor misdemeanors should be considered.

Just to preface, I am totally against any kind of violence, and feel badly about people getting beat up to the point of hospitalization, but I find it interesting how the rules are changing about keeping certain identities confidential. Tea Fire suspects, now this? So why do the police publicize Zavala's name and not the victim? And why is Zavala not referred to as a victim, because he is from Vegas? Why is that relevant in this article? Is the "victim" from SB? Call me crazy, but if someone, aka the "victim", returns to a fight with a group no less, without contacting the police, and then initiates another fight/riot by hitting someone in the back of the head first, isn't it appropriate to self-defend? Was the "victim" charged with any crime? How does the Indy get away with this kind of reporting?
It sounds like the "victim" was looking for a little payback and picked the wrong guy, why else would he return with a group and without contacting law enforcement? I guess if you're not from Santa Barbara, you lose your rights.

I'd be interested to know why their names aren't released, whereas any other suspects' names are released for lesser crimes. What's the diff here? Seems a bit duplicitous.

There were plenty of news vans driving around the Good Land. It was a farce and a nuisance.

OMG -the acclaimed scholar, the much acclaimed,UCSB religious studies program..how many times did you use the word acclaimed, where did you learn to write? And then... “The issue of traditional marriage brought together this wild, very unlikely coalition.....You have the Catholics, who can’t stand the evangelical Protestants, who can’t stand the Catholics, and then the Mormons, who are outcasts, and hated by everyone." This is academia? No,this is an example of tenured professors gone wild. This statement sounds like it came form Joe Q. Public, acclaimed ordinary Joe. What a shoddy story.

LillMamaT, hits it on the head. What would the police do if those same skinheads tatted with swastikas, wearing white pride shirts, etc. ventured into and around in Montecito?
I'd bet the house, at the least, the police would intervene, as what should be done every time a wanna be is dressed in his/her colors.
So what's the difference?

Side note: Really impressed with the GAP fire coverage by the Indy. Thanks.
In other news, it is amazing SB has not implemented a full boycott of the News Press and yet folks continue to give it attention. I'm not trying to brag or anything, but our family hasn't read it since we moved here 10 years ago and I'm happy to report we are doing just fine. While I'm at it, if you have children, cancel your cox subscription too. Just Say No to Mass media. Pure rubbish.
