I naively ask -a warning for what?? Reading your post scares the heck out of me, any parent, anyone living here... I can't even wrap my mind around the mindset of something so cold. I just looked into this and some towns are really suffering from Black and Latino gangs fighting it out. When the LK's revenge this death will an innocent bystander get hurt?
Black and Latino Gang Feud Turning California Town into War Zone
January 30th, 2008
Monrovia is a small city nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. 26 miles from the mean streets of Los Angeles, the town with a population of less than 40,000 is, on paper, hardly the kind place to wracked by gang violence. Such quaint notions have been dispelled for many as a teen girl was murdered and another wounded in apparent retaliation for Latino hate crimes against Blacks. Detectives are now warning parents that their children, gang members and non-gang members alike, are in danger of being the victims of an escalating cycle of violence: MONROVIA - Detectives warned parents of teens Monday to be on high alert after two 16-year-old girls were shot, one fatally, in the latest round of escalating black-versus-Latino gang violence.
âThis concerns me a great deal,â said Lt. Dan Rosenberg of the Los Angeles County Sheriffâs Departmentâs Homicide Bureau. âParents in the area should know there is an ongoing gang feud. If their teens are at a party, make sure they stay inside the house, or that they at least stay in the back yard.
âAs we know with most of these gang shootings, the majority of the victims were usually shot while standing in the front of the home,â he said. âIt is important for the readers to be on alert.â
