Barbie Hill from Rancho Santa Teresa writes:

We took out the sliding glass door and we put steel security screen doors on all doors. They have dead bolts, and we also put up on the top of those doors slide bolts, this was for the grandkids if they tried to open the door without us. We have window alarms. If someone got passed all that, meet our watch dogs. If we are home Smith and Wesson are also on duty.

Aaron's girlfriend:

"believe Aaron’s death was caused by exhaustion, by fear, and by uncertainty. I believe that Aaron’s death was caused by a persecution and a prosecution that had already wound on for 2 years (what happened to our right to a speedy trial?) and had already drained all of his financial resources. I believe that Aaron’s death was caused by a criminal justice system that prioritizes power over mercy, vengeance over justice; a system that punishes innocent people for trying to prove their innocence instead of accepting plea deals that mark them as criminals in perpetuity; a system where incentives and power structures align for prosecutors to destroy the life of an innovator like Aaron in the pursuit of their own ambitions."

Q11 How do you pronounce the name "Van Gogh"?
A11 The pronunciation--it's difficult to put into words. The "Van" is a bit like "Fen" with the V sounding like a half V and half F. The "a" isn't quite like a short "e", but it's softer than North Americans pronounce it.
The Gogh--it's tricky. The first G sounds a bit like a guttural H, the "o" sound stays the same pretty much the same (but not as harsh sounding as the "o" in "go") and the final GH is sort of like a guttural CH, like in the name Johann Sebastian Bach.


Короче, фон Гох, где "г" фрикативно, как в украинском.
