@nubiangraphics

I see it like this, with Illegal’s coming into this country and moving into areas that were once predominantly African-American, tension has brewed for years…

This is kinda old, ( 2-3 months ago) a definite problem in south central. The blacks are not killing the blacks no more its the latinos killing blacks. The ltinos have taken over south central and the blacks are moving out at record numbers. This has been going on for at least 9 mos to a year.
Every other day you hear about lation gangs killing innocent blacks. def not gang memebers jus being black and in the latino gang area will get you shot on site.

There have been rallies, marches and protest by those on both sides of the issue... I was going to write this long thing about it later on, but i just wanted to post a few things before i do that, like this case and a few others...

Yeah this was whack, the police had the illegall in custody before this happen and they didnt deport him and he got out and killed this black boy. It happens a lot in LA. The illegals are doing major crimes. The mayor is weakes ass mayor ever and he is latino and he invites ilegals to la and calls it a santuary city. its a lot of politics and drama there and lots of innocent people become victims. I think the police cheif is lax on ilegals too, its illegal alien politics 101 up in that piece man.

Caint even go in no gang areas up there, just not safe. Now its the latino gangs that you have to look out for

It oh so very sad, but oh so true for everywhere. Even where I live. My neighborhood was more blacks than any, but we have a few white families that have been there FOREVER. They are taking over (not to sound racist) but there will come a time where we will start not to get along.

And when that happens, the fueds will be bigger and alot worse than what they would have been if they never had been there in the beginning.

Thanks for posting

I look at the higher-ups not dealing with the problem at all. But what would happen if the law passes?

Remember the ever-famous "Three Strikes Law"? People are going back in the Big House over something petty like shoplifting or being caught with drugs. This sounds nothing more than a band-aid to a very terrible increasing problem. Prison is supposed to be there for reforming the person who committed the crime to get it back in order for that second chance, but it's a breeding ground for recidivism.

And these are problems that the mayor of LA and the police chief don't want to deal with. If the police chief says he hasn't seen Latino-on-Black crime during his watch, he is in denial. He is making a worse problem spiral out of control. And if they had the perp but didn't deport him because of his being illegal and with a weapons charge to boot, that is on the system.
