Alcohol related arrests sometimes are so heavy there is not enough room in the local foot patrol office to even process all of them there. If you try and drive your car down Del Playa on the weekend students will pound on your cars. Emergancy vehicles cannot even get in there to respond to a emergancy. Many of the students seem to have the additude, hey this is Isla Vista. Because of politics of keeping crime rates low, this is not even near being nipped in the bud so to speak.
Students believe it is their right to drink to distruction.
I would like to say that Tim was a great guy who was always friendly, fun loving, and had an impact on all who encountered him. He will greatly be missed by all. As a friend of the Baptista family who will be attending the services tonight and the funeral tomorrow, I would like to say how very sad it is that Tim's young life was lost to a tragic accident. Kelly filled my heart as I read the touching tribute offered above in Tim's memory. I pray that the memories we hold of Tim will remain a sweet fragrance long after the bitter pain of this tragedy and that those treasured memories Tim contributed to Life will bring comfort to us all, his family, friends and loved ones.
