Not possible, it is a gang shooting. That makes six. Isn’t that as many as they had during all of 2012?
The gangs thrive on the drug trade. Sometimes that leads to these shootings. We have a great police department. I am sure they are doing all they can to curb these activities.
Part of the unforeseen circumstances of tearing down a dozen single family homes to build 100 unit big box storage units for ultra low income peoples.
It is too bad that the pattern of the 80’s that gave Santa Ana the big box bight of low income / sec 8 housing that breeds this kind of human grief is being replayed with more big box future slums in the Lacy Garfield areas.
Well I was the only candidate who publicly said that.
That is why I am not mayor in the city of Mexican socialist who want everything for free including this fordable housing crapola.
