A San Diego-area city official who grew up in Fountain Valley was shot and
killed while vacationing in Mexico over the Christmas break, authorities
said.

Doug Bradley, administrative services director for the city of Imperial
Beach, died during an apparent robbery attempt around 4 a.m. Dec. 28 in
Ixtapa, a resort town along Mexico’s Pacific coast, the Mexico News Daily
reported.

He was killed a day before his 50th birthday.

According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, a Mexican government spokesman
said Bradley was shot three times.

At the time of his death, Bradley was living near the ocean in Tijuana but
working in Imperial Beach.

“Doug Bradley was loved by all that knew him,” Imperial Beach Mayor Serge
Dedina said in a statement. “He was always positive, loved to surf and had
helped to turn around the city of Imperial Beach’s financial management as
well as restructure city administration to make it more efficient and
resident-friendly.”

Bradley was born in Huntington Beach and raised in Fountain Valley,
according to his longtime friend and former neighbor Mark Tomko.

Bradley graduated from Fountain Valley High School in 1986. He married his
high school sweetheart but they later divorced. He had no children.

Tomko, who lives in Northern California, described Bradley as a friendly,
sports-oriented person who became an avid surfer in his youth. The two
spent many hours in the waves off Huntington Beach. Bradley also played
football, basketball, baseball and soccer, Tomko said.

Tomko said he reintroduced Bradley to surfing a few years ago, helping him
get a surfboard and wetsuit. In 2014, they went on a surfing trip to
Nicaragua.

“He always loved the ocean and the freedom of surfing,” Tomko said.

Tomko said Bradley enjoyed his job and the people he worked with. “He felt
appreciated and that he was making great improvements at the city of
Imperial Beach,” Tomko said.

“Doug’s greatest gift was his ability to instantly bond with people and
make new friends,” he added. “I’m fortunate that he was my friend for
almost 50 years.”

Wave your sanctuary state status card at the nice robber.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
