  1. Are these 3 illegal aliens? Or are they just residents of Santa Ana? These 3 thugs need to be brought to justice and deported if found to be here illegally. We don’t need this childish, greedy behavior around here. Get a job and buy your own Go Pro and skateboard and leave others alone who are minding their own business and enjoying themselves, instead of 3 miserable Mexicans with nothing better to do than commit a crime and harm an innocent person.
