And Santa Ana is going to give away a car to a kid with perfect attendance."

Which will be stolen by a gang member within 3 days of receipt.

Not fair to Rudy, IMO.
Problem is already totally out of control, and current "mayor" of LA can take lots of the responsibility.

"You're standing right now with nine delegates from one hundred gangs. And there's over a hundred more. That's 20,000 hardcore members. Forty thousand, counting affiliates, and twenty thousand more, not organized, but ready to fight: sixty thousand soldiers! Now, there ain't but twenty thousand police in the whole town. Can you dig it?"

I swear, "The Warriors" was the ONLY thing I could think of while I read this.

The part about keeping the newspaper clippings made me laugh out loud.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and police officials took the unusual step Wednesday of identifying the city's 11 worst gangs, then promising to go after them with teams of police, federal agents, probation officers and prosecutors.

Mecha Villaraigosa says this with a straight face while he's allowing L.A. to be a "sanctuary city". HE'S A LYING HYPOCRITE!

"then promising to go after them with teams of police, federal agents, probation officers and prosecutors. "

Another fine example where having no border fence is not costing us taxpayers much /s



So...Mr. Mayor, is joining "Mara Salvatrucha" another example of doing jobs Americans wont do?

How about a fence on are southern boarder will help.

yeah the fence is needed and so is the ability of LEOs to be able to shoot down armed drug smugglers....

....but even if you stem the tide of illegals you will still have citys filled with them....and thats when you could use a Rudy to clean up cities...

Actually the illegal gang members are retreating to Bakersfield now. They have found prime territory for themselves and....it is cheaper to live here! Just like L.A. we have so many illegals that they can get lost in the numbers and noone here has done a thing about it. We don't have an 'official' sanctuary policy but believe me it is there.
The illegals and gangs are turning us into 'Little L.A.'.

I love this movie! There are a few other women on FR who admit to liking it.

That said, it's the Anti-Chick Movie.

Sssssssshhhhhhhhhhh.....

saying something like that around here will get you flamed.....with a flamethrower.

I happen to be one of the few here who think that what you are talking about has to, and will happen when everybody figures out the wod cannot be "won" without employing extreme measures like sumary execution.

I am a former investigator in Los Angeles so I'm well familiar with many of these. Bakersfield has become more and more of a suburb since Lancaster/Palmdale are no longer rural areas anymore. Amusingly, white racists used to move north on I-5 to get away from the gangs in LA and then the gangs followed up up into the Santa Clarita valley and further north and are the majority there now. We just traded one group of scumbags for another.
