Chance Brannon, 24, is one of three men charged in the Molotov cocktail attack which occurred while Brannon was an active-duty Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton. No one was hurt in the incident but the front entrance had some burn damage, and the clinic had to reschedule about 30 appointments.

Round 1: Pirates on the high seas on Somalia are causing issues in San Francisco… wait… No. The pirates are actually from Oakland. Round 2: An Army unit wants its soldiers to take lie detector tests for training. Good idea or bad idea? Well, typically lie detector tests and the military arent that great. Round 1: Homeless pirates are now marauding onto houseboats in the San Francisco Bay in the latest criminal enterprise to plague California. Residents along the Oakland-Alameda estuary told a community meeting last week that boats have been cut loose so that they drift out to sea. One woman even recounted how she had rescued another resident on a sailboat in the middle of the night after pirates slashed his rigging lines during an argument.
