This week’s edition of Looking Back at the Week features articles, commentaries, columns, and other work by San Diego Free Press regulars, irregulars, columnists, at-large contributors, and sourced writers on: the killer of homeless people, police killings in Louisiana & Minnesota, police deaths in Dallas – a horrible, horrible week – helping homeless during the All-Star game, Carlsbad, putting lipstick on the convadium pig, taking a trip to Baja, Surfrider’s half ton trash cleanup, failing deported veterans and lots of other inspiring (and, like this week, sometimes depressing), grassroots news & progressive views from San Diego’s friendly, neighborhood, all volunteer, slightly funky, community news site.
