Does another club fight signal the start of a race war in Orange County?

View Comments

• The story says six Asians were the aggresssors here. Witnesses say Asians started the fight at the Crosby. Not sure how this signals the start of a race war. Sounds like it's all coming from the same side. Don't blame Santa Ana. Blame bars that serve people way past their limit and kids in their 20s with not enough sense. This time it's Costa Mesa.

  • There was no mention of who the victims were in the CM fight.

    Hard to believe that Asians were the aggressors in the Crosby murder given the outcome.

    • The outcome of a fight doesn't always determine who the aggressor was. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/82314903/

  • CORRECT YOURSELF — it was Zavela’s DEFENSE ATTORNEY who stated that Pham threw the first punch according TO HIS WITNESSES. I’m tired of this victim bashing bullshit due to bias. Don’t blame the dead woman who can’t defend herself. That’s pathetic and has no class. Be ashamed when you repeat this garbage you’re so easily or readily fooled by.

    • Lawyers Lie. Lawyers encourage their girls to lie to save the butts. Both girls lawyers are know sleazy lawyers. They are using the girls for their own greed and prestige.

  • Costa Mesa Club Fight -- your lies and bias are showing. Only Zavela's attorney stated that Pham started the fight. Given the details altogether, it seems improbably to say the least. You're a scumbag for providing such half-truths purposely because of your bias, and attacking THE VICTIM--beaten by multiple aggressors. LOSER.

    • Multiple witnesses said they saw Pham throw the first punch. No witnesses reported hearing any racial slurs. Just the facts, ma'am.

      • The DEFENSE ATTORNEY'S ALLEGED witnesses. Boy, you sure are easily fooled aren't you?

• Since there is no mention of Latinos in this story, it's way off base to call it the start of a race war. The facts: six violent Asian men beat up three people in a bar, two so seriously they had to be hospitalized. The facts in Santa Ana: 1) Witnesses say Pham threw first punch. 2) Witnesses say there was a larger brawl involving many men, including Asians. No wonder Pham's friends are keeping quiet. They may not be only afraid of police. They may be afraid of other Asians. The outcome in Santa Ana has nothing to do with who the aggressor was. Or do you expect Latinos to stay down and be servile when they are attacked? They fought back and it went to far.

  • The police know who got beat up in CM. Why leave that out of the press release? What are they covering up?

    • Since when are Costa Mesa police interested in protecting Latinos? More likely that they don't mention victims because it would make Asians look bad. Six against three is pretty weak. Where's your outrage calling attackers cowardly, animals, etc. on this one? Two people in hospital.

      • You don't think the cops in different cities coordinate with each other? Nobody wants a race war but that could be where this is going.

        • Out of all the reporting involving the Crosby incident, this is the only website that keeps trying to push a hateful race crime. Yes the incident fits the hate crime definition but it does not seem the crime was motivated by race. Why don't you stop trying to stir up controversy and stop what looks to be a race war agenda.

        • Nobody wants to focus the investigation on the failures of the Crosby, its bouncers, Downtown Stink's "Clean & Safe" program or the family that's spending huge amounts of money to lure drunks from Irvine and unleash them on Santa Ana's streets. That should be where this is going.

          Did anybody follow up on the eyewitness report that a Crosby bouncer picked up Pham, draped her over his shoulder and put her back down on the ground after she was unconscious with a head injury?

        • I suspect that is why The Crosby has remained shut down. Hopefully it will stay that way.

  • CORRECT YOURSELF -- it was Zavela's DEFENSE ATTORNEY who stated that Pham threw the first punch according TO HIS WITNESSES. I'm tired of this victim bashing bullshit due to bias. Don't blame the dead woman who can't defend herself. That's pathetic and has no class. Be ashamed when you repeat this garbage you're so easily or readily fooled by.

    • If Pham didn't throw the first punch, where are the 20 Asian witnesses who could speak up and confirm that? Since the whole Asian community is clamming up, it must be true. You're tired of so-called victim bashing? I'm tired of lynch mobs.

      • But you are ok with women kicking in Pham's head?

        • No. Never said that. Never implied that. But you are ok with lynch mobs?

        • There is no lynch mob.

• The problem is that we don't have enough Negroes in Orange County.
  We have these ethnic children running rampant with no real guidance and supervision.
  White people are only good for selling the beer and collecting profits.

• I can't wait for the mexicans vs asians fireworks war on minnie street this year.

• The prisons can't wait to get the first load of Asians in....

  • Agree, as Prison Doctors, Prison Psychologist, Prison Guards and Prison overseers.

• Mateo - that is the first comment that you have posted that I think is genuinely funny - well done.

• you are an idiot.

• The only thing mexicans are good for is...nothing really.

  • What a stupid and ignorant comment.

  • Anonymous, If you want to know what Mexicans are good for, ask your mom. #Sancho #DonJuan

  • Giving them a mexican sanchenz that's what.

• If these young people want something to fight for, let, them join the military.

• Is this real life? Race war between Asians and Mexicans is not news worthy. Media doesn't want your story. Your in Santa Ana, the armpit in the land of Orange.

  • We're averaging ovwr 4,000 daily views. I think we know what is newsworthy.

    • Good for nothing.
