DTSA’s image wrecked as the Crosby murder story goes global

View Comments

• This article is a complete one sided joke. This murder was a terrible incident, yes, but it's not like it's permanently etched in the architecture of DTSA. WWII happened, and everytime one thinks of Europe or Russia, one is not automatically like, "OMG the Axis of Evil, OMG the Allies, OMG War." Shit happens, and yes, this was tragic, but as is the human condition, we try to learn from the terrible experiences we undergo and attempt to create better environments and rouse more awareness so that incidents like these can stop happening.

  • The point is that when you search for terms like Downtown Santa Ana all you get now is links to articles about the murder of Pham by bar patrons in front of the Crosby. Image wrecked.

• Things will go back to normal in a couple weeks. Everyone will get over the news media and rumors and move on. Things happen all the time and the businesses will not shut down for something that happened in a public street. This didn't happen inside the Crosby so people need to stop finding people to blame. Why hasn't anyone said anything about the friends why did they not interfere when they saw their so called (FRIEND) getting beat. Now the first thing the family does is get an attorney... that didn't take long...

  • I agree.

    As soon as people forget a woman was KICKED TO DEATH, HER HEAD STOMPED ON, until she died, things will be cool.

    In fact, the Crosby will offer some drink specials, a FIREBALL shot for a buck extra, more loud obnoxious window rattling DJ music ( do these guys have day jobs?) and moreover, fat, unfit eight dollar an hour security guards who for an extra $20 or the right "bud".

    There is a wide spread problem in Downtown Santa Ana with young people high, drunk and out of control. Who is going to address this?

• I searched and u get the news links that are always on top. Other than that everything looks good. We will be ok DTSA. One incident is not gonna destroy all the positive that has came out of it. And this has most definitely not gone global not by a long shot. This is local news orange county, some LA, and some riverside. Not even All SoCal.. People in Nor Cal haven't even heard of this. Whoever wrote this article should get fired.

  • So we made up that article in the UK Daily Mail?

• That site picks up news from all over the internet. That doesn't mean its gone global it will have gone global when CNN and BBC are reporting it. Like i said in my previous post not even the northern part of our beautiful state of California has heard of this. Its because of writers like you that people are always misguided. Step up your game son.

  • So this article in the New York Daily News never happened? http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/photobomb-sparked-deadly-beating-nightclub-article-1.1587713

    What about this one, from an Australian newspaper? http://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/was-kim-pham-killed-outside-the-crosby-nightclub-for-photobombing/story-fnh81jut-1226808422692

    Or this one from a national news service? http://www.newsmax.com/thewire/kim-pham-beaten-life-support-organ/2014/01/21/id/548210

    This story has gone global but you can keep burying your head in the sand if that makes you happy.

• How about you gather up all your useless resources and prove to everyone here how many foreign news papers printed the story or how many foreign news stations reported this incident on their broadcast. Stop relying on internet sites that gather information about whats trending to call this a global incident.

  • No. If you want to waste your time go ahead. Obviously nothing we say or do is going to change your closed mind.

  • That was awesome!

• You're retarted. You don't know shit.

• ghetto ass town=ghetto as people.

  • Who the 'F' lives in a TOWN? Your an idiot. It's called a CITY! Ghetto must recognize ghetto.

• to begin fights are never one sided. also why haven't witness statement been reported countless times. her life and job keeps coming up on everything what she did and what not. but what about the witness statements that the media keeps ignoring like that Kim was with at least a dozen of her friends in line and when the fighting started its was about 12 vs 5. you mean to tell me the 5 people over powered 12 individuals plus the 1 or 2 security guards that were there! what were her friends doing video taping the incident instead of helping their friend? with friends like that she wouldn't need enemies. Yes at the end of the day Kim died for being in an altercation were eye witnesses say she threw punches first. so once again this is never a one sided story like the media is trying to claim. but the day in court will come were the truth will come out.

  P.S
  there has been more than a few incidents were Latino's have been killed by asian people so that race card kims followers keep playing is getting old.

  • This Bitch is still talking...Are you on Crack?

• Loooools this made me laugh!
  So you're saying "yeah no more popular bars in dtsa to bring a shiet ton of people, patrons, food, money, and jobs to dtsa."
  Great plan

  • We would prefer a downtown designed for Santa Ana's families - not the hipster mess we have now.

    • Keep on dreaming Editor - they are gone & they are not coming back - and you know it.

      • It is sad. We could have had a fun downtown like the one in Brea.

  • There are VERY clearly this incident proved that underpaid, poorly trained "doorman" dressed in a windbreaker marked SECURITY is not up to the $8.25 per hour the Crosby paid him.

    I say NO MORE bars, leave the people at home. Most of these people should be at home caring for their bastard kids, instead of searching for new Papi's.

    That is the reality anon.
