Protecting Their Land: Tracy Vigilance

Posted by brittneygilbert
A Tracy High School graduate, who now lives in New Jersey, has started a website called Tracy Vigilance Committee:

Johnson said he felt he needed to do something to help the situation. Motivated by Sandra’s death and other events in town, such as the tortured teenager and the various child porn cases, he started a Web site Tuesday called the Tracy Vigilance Committee.

There’s no actual committee just yet, but Johnson said the site and its MySpace page is just a way for people to share information and vent. It’s his way of connecting to a community, even though he can’t be there.

“I wanted something like a Web site where I could reach people without physically standing there with them,” Johnson said. “We’re not out to blame anybody or anything like that.”

He got the idea to call his site a vigilance committee from a time a couple hundred years ago, when citizens in small towns got together to protect their land .

The corresponding MySpace site for Tracy Vigilance Committee currently has nine members.

Keep informed about the latest on possible suspects in the murder of Sandra Cantu at CBS 5.
