San Diego City Council candidate John Hartley was booked into County Jail Thursday night on suspicion of indecent exposure, police said.

Hartley, 65, who served on the council from 1989 to 1993, was placed under citizen's arrest after someone called police at 4:14 p.m. and said a man was urinating into a cup and masturbating publicly on Vista Street near Adams Avenue in Kensington, police spokeswoman Monica Munoz said.

Hartley was arrested and taken to the Mid-City Division station to be interviewed, Munoz said. Police said Hartley was processed at the station for booking into jail about 6 p.m.

A jail clerk said Hartley was booked on one count of indecent exposure and one count of soliciting a lewd act. He is being held on $27,000 bail and is to appear in court April 3.

Democrat or not? No party affiliation in the story usually means Democrat.

Candidates for City Council aren't usually required to claim any party affiliations, hence, no mention of it in the article.

Is that really all people care about. What happened to just saying, "hey that is wrong". What does it matter if he is a democrat? What does it matter if he is a republican. This is what is killing politcs. All people care about is to see the other party embarrased and no one seems to mind that it is our country that is the one being hurt by it.

OK, then why does the press do it that way?

OK, then why does the press do it that way?

Because people love to make the other party look bad. Everyone always gets mad at the press for showing murders and death, school shooting, bad politics, etc so much but the reason is because people eat it up. If the majority of people wanted something different then that is what they would do. The press is a business, and it is not the reporting business.

Ok back to my original statement..... unpublished party affiliations usually mean Democrats and they do run as parties in the larger cities.

The relevance is that had it been a republican, the only thing we would have read was republican 20 times in the article. The press even tried to make Spitzer look like a republican. So the assumption is that most political figures on the left coast are dims and have a "different" set of morals. So maybe this is normal for the left coast? Sick. But normal?
