Dear Mr. Rice,
I found your article very well written and was glad to have read it (“Do You Live Close to Snoop Dogg?” Cover Story, July 30). Most people who live here in San Diego don’t have a clue what people in Southeast really live with. Once in a while they hear about something in the news, but they don’t live in the situation every day. Since it is not their reality, it doesn’t exist. Two different worlds living side by side and don’t know much about the other.
I am sorry about your life experiences; there are no words that I can offer that can change what has happened. What I can say is that I respect your honesty, your courage, and your right to stand up and tell people what has happened and what you have experienced. You have written a good article, and I am proud of you for doing it.

I really enjoyed this story (“Do You Live Close to Snoop Dogg?” Cover Story, July 30). It was intelligently written. The only part that had me rolling in laughter was that whenever Vic or any other “homies” were talking, they lost their intelligence: “What’s hatnin’ wit you, boy?” Maybe he can’t talk the way he writes. Hey, Vic, what’s happening with you, boy?

It’s All Your Fault
Is the Reader now looking to expand their readership to include gang-bangers? What in the world were you thinking printing this story (“Do You Live Close to Snoop Dogg?” Cover Story, July 30)? Next week are you going to print a story glorifying rapists and murderers? Victor Rice, and his kind, are precisely what has turned what used to be the coolest places in MY San Diego into a ghetto. Great job in glorifying the street thugs who are screwing up America’s Finest City.
