      People who are not fortunate enough to afford moving and living in safer communities, or who have lived there for years.

      Your comment is uncalled for and insensitive to those who live and work in Stockton. Crime is in every city. Instead of putting a city down of which is actually putting the people down, how about putting the criminals down?

  • elliott the Cat

    So was found dead ? The Home owners or the Robber ?

    It just says a body found in an out building ?

    • BigDog

      your f***n dumb

      • Stormy Summer

        BigDog, belittling someone is uncalled for and it makes your comment turn around point to you. Please show some kindness towards others, Don’t we have enough hatred and cold heartedness in this country?

    • Stormy Summer

      Reread article. It says the victim was itentified as Mark Dentoni,42. And to answer your question, Mark Dentoni, the victim, was the home owner.

  • We Can’t All Live in Folsom

    Hey Ty-People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks.

  • meg

    Excuse you, have some respect for the dead. my family knew him, he was a struggling man who was never violent and certainly did not deserve to die, no matter who he was. how dare you.

  • Morada

    MARK HENRY DENTONI, a.k.a. the “WEEDS” wanna-be, Botwin-esque, Morada resident, apparently was no stranger to trouble…http://www.uniondemocrat.com/20110119102365/News/News-of-Record/News-of-record-for-Jan-19-2011

      It says booked on “suspicions” of bodily injury. Suspicions are not FACT, If you are going to post such a link I think it would be best if you would also post the final outcome of the case and all info regarding it.

      • Morada

        People who stay OUT of TROUBLE, DON’T get BOOK on SUSPICION of anything… LOL, and besides, the “masked men” and ultimately the BULLET got the last LAUGH!!!

    • Stormy Summer

      Morada,
      you are so narrow minded and lack wisdom. Many have been wrongly accused as well as many have been ID Mistaken. Before you accuse and pass judgement, get the ALL the facts.

  • gna

    Your right I was a little overboard there. . . it is a sickness . . .ok then, just dealers need to go away. .

  • URFULOFIT

    I can’t believe the morality police/crisis addicts crawled out from under their rocks to DEFEND an armed home-invader. REALLY?? If I had a “friend” who committed a home invasion robbery, I’d be WAY too embarrassed to come here looking for sympathy. But then I wouldn’t (and don’t) HAVE a friend like that.

    To the comment, “No addict deserves to be killed”, I disagree. I can’t think of ANYONE who deserves to die more than these animals. You make a statement like that, when these animals showed an absolute disregard for the lives of the people living peacefully in THEIR house? His “addiction status” would mean nothing as I would eagerly empty every bullet and magazine into as many of them as I could pop. And I have enough ammo for a much bigger pack of thugs than this one.

    And you come here suggesting a non-violent response to these poor, misunderstood felons? UNBELIEVABLE!!!

    • reply to a idiot

      God your an idiot…..the victim had drug problems CAN YOU READ AHOLE. why dont you redo you answer….WHAT A MORON YOU ARE ……….THE VICTIM HAD PROBLEMS….

      • you’re dumb.

        reply to “a” idiot? Cool. You’re really smart.

  • Stormy Summer

    Really? Looks like we have 4 or more ski masked robbers and murder to be worried about.
    Mark was not a drug addict. He lived in pain with a hip replacement. You cannot assume all pot growers are drug addicts. Personally I am against all use of drugs and do not support legalized marijuana as I do not believe in its alleged medical benefits but I will not pass judgement on those who find comfort in the use of it, if they feel it benefits their medical needs.

  • Stormy Summer

    You are assuming he was making money from it. Did it ever occur to you that he might have been growing it for personal use due to medical reasons? How can you pass judgement without knowing the facts?

  • Whitey

    Do black men wear white ski masks?

    Janet, Stockton truly is a dump… but where is Stockon?

    • J

      Whitey..If you don’t know where Stockton is then don’t comment! Stockton has very beautiful communities and also has wonderful people that live in our community. Don’t judge everyone!!

  • Stormy Summer

    Curious,
    Unfortunately, yes. Dentoni family has had it share of tragedy. May he rest in peace and be reunited with his dad in heaven with our Lord.

  • Stormy Summer

    No where in the article is it stated that any one had a drug addiction! All it mentions is the victim was found in an outbuilding with “marijuana grow.”
    What I would like to know is how these intruders managed to get in. Morada for those of you who are clueless is an affluent beautiful neighborhood.
    My heart goes out to the children he leaves behind, his mother, sibblings, other family members and friends. May he rest in peace and be reunited with his dad in heaven with our Lord. God bless you Mark. I haven’t seen you in a long time since you had your hip replacment. You were and are missed.

  • Stormy Summer

    For those of you posting negative comments you are being insensitive to the families and friends of Mark Dentoni the victim and should be ashamed of yourselves. Where is the compassion and respect? You are no better than the thugs that cause harm to others. Shame on you!

    • morada is a moron

      you are a complete idiot…..We wonder why the world os so f’ed up..there is people like you in it….

    • ?

      do you not care at all that he had two kids that might be reading this?

  • Bill

    Hate to tell you Janet, but I’m pretty sure when you mail anything to morada, you have to put “Stockton, CA”….. Just sayin

  • Rip

    Stormy Summer….and a few others are the only ones who are correct. He was a victim along with his kids, family and thoes who loved him. Let him rest in peace.

  • Enamorada

    MARK HENRY DENTONI. Is this the same DENTONI from here: http://www.dentoni.com/about.htm ?

    • Murray

      Unfortunetly yes…sad to see it H was one of my old bosses

  • “Paper” trailer…
    • me

      it was a civil business case…..sherlock…..whoooooo good work idiot

  • Sad

    The comments on this page make me want to cry. This is not an issue of drugs, nor is this a place to be discussing how much you love or hate your home town. A man was killed who was in pain, who grew marijuana to help him cope. He was not a drug addict or dealer, and was not causing harm to anyone. It disgusts me even that this was mentioned when it is not here nor there in the greater scheme of things.. a matter of life and death. I beg you to think of those who are morning his loss. Posting horrible negative things on this board isn’t doing anything to make this world (or Stockton for that matter) a better place.

  • GPB

    It is unbelievable how many people on here can be so insensitive to his friends and family who are still mourning the loss. Shame on you! You do not know what he went through in his life and can not judge Mark based on what the news says. He was an amazing man and he truly cared about the people in his life. It was a tragic accident that does not need to be talked down upon. So Id appreciate it if there were only positive comments left. Leave your negativity and judgment to yourselves please.
