Suspect in Custody After 2 Students Shot at California High School

Authorities say two students were shot Tuesday morning at a high school in Los Angeles. One person  has been arrested.

Police believe the gunman, a black male wearing black clothing, is a student at Gardena High School, the school where the shooting occurred.

Police say one bullet was apparently fired accidentally hitting a 15-year-old boy in the neck and a 15-year-old girl in the head. The girl is in surgery at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, police say.

Sources reportedly told The Los Angeles Times that after the gun fired, the student who brought it to school apologized to his classmates before running out of the classroom.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Unified School District reportedly told local news outlets that the shooting was accidental. District spokesman Robert Alaniz said the gun was brought to school in a backpack and went off when the student dropped it — injuring the two victims with a single bullet. The rest of the story HERE

I’m sure the kid was a tea party participant or at the very least a fan of Glenn Beck…. 🙄

Wait a minute maybe it’s the GUN that did it? Perhaps it’s the guns fault lets make a law that forbids 15 yr old kids from having handguns? Wait, that’s already a law… How about making it illegal to bring guns to school? Damn it, that’s already a law too… Well then this incident couldn’t have happened, so I guess it didn’t… Move along, nothing to see here….

So here we go guys, the gun grabbers will use this incident in their attack. I’m waiting for the worthless POS Bill Maher to make another statement about guns, you know he’s the “Elite Authority” on what we need….

Facts are shaky about this incident, but you can pretty much read between the lines if you have any common sense and are not brainwashed by the liberal media. Look at the area of the incident. Look at the #1 crime in the area. Look at the gangs in the area…You can come up with a few “Possibilities” of what happened here.

From the story:

“A mother who was waiting to hear from her 14-year-old son, Michael, said the school has a reputation for gang violence.”

So with that knowledge, I’m betting on these reasons: (Purely speculation of course)

1. The kid was being threatened or felt threatened by either a gang, or gang-member. The kid may have been recruited and said NO! The kid brought the gun to school so he could defend himself. Not saying it’s right but I’d sure understand the kids motive. (This will more than likely be his defense in any trial)

2. The kid WAS in a gang and WAS going to use the gun to make a name for himself. Probably ONE person on the target list, a rival or someone that disrespected his gang… (This would be the easiest explanation, but gang members usually don’t say “Sorry” when they are done shooting folks)

From what I’ve heard through a few folks that have a bit more knowledge than the media does, the kid wasn’t currently in a gang, nor was he a tea party member… 🙄

My Condolences to the victims of this incident.

Man charged with Gun crime for protecting his family?

This is B.S. This would NOT happen in Texas, AZ, Mont. and perhaps a few other states, but NY it’s par for the course.

Long Island Man Arrested For Defending Home With AK-47

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBS 2) — He was arrested for protecting his property and family.

But it’s how the Long Island man did it that police say crossed the line.

He got an AK-47 assault rifle, pulled the trigger and he ended up in jail, reports CBS 2’s Pablo Guzman.

George Grier said he had to use his rifle on Sunday night to stop what he thought was going to be an invasion of his Uniondale home by a gang he thought might have been the vicious “MS-13.” He said the whole deal happened as he was about to drive his cousin home.

“I went around and went into the house, ran upstairs and told my wife to call the police. I get the gun and I go outside and I come into the doorway and now, by this time, they are in the driveway, back here near the house. I tell them, you know, ‘Can you please leave?’ Grier said.


Grier said the five men dared him to use the gun; and that their shouts brought another larger group of gang members in front of his house.

“He starts threatening my family, my life. ‘Oh you’re dead. I’m gonna kill your family and your babies. You’re dead.’ So when he says that, 20 others guys come rushing around the corner. And so I fired four warning shots into the grass,” Grier said.

Now, once a threat has been issued to you and your family, I say time to get it on. However; I’m not sure firing a couple of shots into the lawn is exactly the right thing to do. IF they were on your property and you are NOT in America (Texas) You need to think out your next move very carefully. I commend the guy for taking a stand, I’d have rather seen him take the stand with a bunch of bullet ridden gang bangers bodies on the grass, because NOW, they will be doing something in retaliation. BET ON IT!

The real problem here isn’t the guy firing a couple of shots in his lawn, it’s the failure of our justice system to protect it’s citizens. Since NY has some of the most ridiculous gun laws in the nation, they bear the responsibility of protection. This guy felt his family was at risk and did what he thought was right to protect them. IF you want to legislate OUR rights away, then YOU need to protect us. YOU need to lock these gang bangin slugs up, you need to do YOUR job.

I wish the guy well in his court case, and I hope not to hear about his “Accidental” death soon.

Soldier Back From Iraq Shot Dead on Alaska Streets by Newly Released Felon

ANCHORAGE, Alaska —  An Army military police officer survived 15 months in Iraq, but it was the Anchorage streets that claimed his life.

Authorities say Army Sgt. Evan Minnear died at the hands of a convicted felon who had been out of jail 16 days and was not supposed to be carrying a firearm.

Authorities believe Vongdeuane Vongthongdy killed Minnear outside the Woodshed Lounge in downtown Anchorage on Sunday.

Vongthongdy was already on probation for the felony assault with a weapon during the shooting.

The 24-year-old Minnear had been in the Army since January of 2003 and had been assigned to Anchorage’s Fort Richardson base since October 2005. His unit came back from Iraq to Fort Richardson in November 2007.

There is NO permit required to carry concealed in Alaska.

BUT: there are these little sections of the law:

It is unlawful for a person convicted of a felony or adjudicated a delinquent minor for conduct that would constitute a felony if committed by an adult to possess a “firearm capable of being concealed on his person” unless a period of 10 years or more has elapsed between the date of the person’s unconditional discharge on the prior offense or adjudication of juvenile delinquency.

Loaded firearms may not be possessed in any place where intoxicating liquor is sold for consumption on the premises. Exempt: The owner or lessee or an employee or lessee while on the business premise. (Source)

The violent offender, a FELON was released from jail, goes to a bar with a firearm and kills one of our nations hero’s. So what do we learn from this? I can hear the anti-gun SHEEP crying about the GUNS. IT IS NOT THE FUCKING GUNS! IT’S the FELON. The argument that “if Guns were banned this would not have happened” is SERIOUSLY FLAWED! I would argue IF releasing violent felons was BANNED, this would not have happened.

I am in favor of keeping dangerous PEOPLE off the streets, rather than keeping the means to protect yourself from them OFF THE STREETS! Wake up SHEEP, the wolf is at the door.

Support your local PD.

I was driving to work yesterday and on the corner of Wells and VB there was a sign on an electrical box. it said “DON’T SHOOT TO KILL” in big black letters on white paper.

This sign is in regards to a recent police shooting that happened in the area.

RIVERSIDE – Dozens of relatives and friends of Fernando Luis Sanchez, who was shot to death in Arlanza by a Riverside police officer the evening of Sept. 11, protested the shooting Saturday.

The protesters started in Bryant Park and moved to the corner of Wells Avenue and Van Buren Boulevard where they held up signs that read “Stop the killing” and chanted “don’t shoot to kill.”

Sanchez’s family called for police to use less-than-lethal methods of subduing suspects.

“With so many things they can do today, they don’t have to kill them,” said Sanchez’s mother, Ida Sanchez, 61, citing Tasers and beanbag guns.

Fernando Sanchez was the second Riverside resident police shot to death this month. A pair of officers shot Carlos David Quinonez, 48, in La Sierra on Sept. 1 when he pointed a shotgun at them.

John DeLaRosa, assistant chief of the Riverside police, said he would not comment during the department’s internal investigation into the shooting.

An officer chased down Sanchez, 30, after Sanchez ran from a gas station convenience store when the officer tried to speak to him, police have said.

The officer, whose name hasn’t been released, struggled with Sanchez and the officer felt a gun in Sanchez’s pocket, according to police.

Sanchez wouldn’t take his hands out of his pocket and the officer, fearing for his safety, shot Sanchez several times, police said.

Sanchez had no outstanding warrants, police said. Police said in a news release that a handgun was found on Sanchez.

The family buried him Friday. He left behind three daughters, ages 11, 6 and 4, as well as his mother and father, a sister and three brothers.

Ida Sanchez said her son’s most defining characteristic was a sense of humor that cheered everyone up.

“He was like a jokester,” she said. “He saw you down, you wouldn’t be down any longer.”

Ida Sanchez said it’s not the first officer-involved death in her family. Riverside police also shot and killed one of her nephews, Paul Carrion Jr., 20 years ago when he was 16.

Her daughter and Fernando Sanchez’s sister, Phyllis Carranza, 42, said police are never held accountable when they kill someone.

“It’s ridiculous,” Carranza said. “There’s too many senseless deaths.”

So “Don’t shoot to kill”???????????

Does anyone really care about the whole story? Obviously NOT:

Here is the WHOLE STORY:

The real story as I hear it from several people including ONE relative of his. Nano or Nono or whatever the fuck his nickname was, just returned from an attempted DRIVE BY SHOOTING, and there was a B.O.L.O out for the vehicle he was in. He and his partner pulled up to get gas, and there was a PD Unit next door at the 7-11, the cop recognized the vehicle, just as Fernandez stepped out of the gas station, The cop called for him to come over, and Fernandez took off running down Wells, the cop gave chase, A scuffle ensued and the cop felt a gun in Fernandez waist band, the cop then broke contact pulled his weapon and called to Fernandez to raise his hands, and drop to his knees. Fernandez reached for his weapon… As my friend Fred likes to say “ADIOS MOTHER FUCKER”!

The drive by shooting this guy was involved in was not his first, he was a known gangbanger, and he had an arrest record including robbery, and assault. IMO Fernandez deserved to be shot, he deserved to be pissed on after he was shot…

As soon as I get time I am sending a gift basket to the officer and the entire West End PD for ridding our area of another menace.

Grafitti Vandals Getting Violent?

Grafitti Vandals Getting Violent?

Gangbangers and Taggers turning violent, say it isn’t so? /Sarcasm

One man got stabbed. Another got shot in the chest. A 6-year-old boy was temporarily blinded when he was spray-painted in the face.

And they were the lucky ones among those who have had run-ins with graffiti “crews,” or gangs.

Over the past 2 1/2 years in Southern California, three people have been killed after trying to stop graffiti vandals in the act. A fourth died after being shot while watching a confrontation between crews in a park.

“We have seen a marked increase in these graffiti-tagging gangs taking to weapons and fighting to protect their walls, their territory, their name,” said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Robert Rifkin.

Los Angeles County has battled graffiti for decades, spending $30 million a year to paint over or clean up the emblems, names and other images spray-painted on stores, concrete-lined riverbeds, rail lines, phone booths, buses, even police cars. On Wednesday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a law requiring convicted graffiti vandals to remove their scrawl.

For some taggers, protecting their work is akin to defending their names and their honor.

“If we see someone calling the police, then we target them,” said Mario Garcia, 20, who describes himself as a former tagger trying to become a professional artist. “You are trying to stop me from what I live, what I believe in and what I breathe? We are not going to let no one get in the way.”

Oh and lets take a look at the perpetrators and the victims of the vandals:

In an attack last month, two youths spray-painted the face and body of the 6-year-old boy who spotted them scribbling gang signs on a wall near Compton. The boy recovered from chemical burns to his eyes.

On the same day, a 51-year-old auto mechanic was shot in the chest in Los Angeles when he confronted two suspected gang members painting the wall of his shop.

Another man, Michael Lartundo, 26, was stabbed in the hand and arm after yelling at a group of graffiti vandals scrawling on a wall in March behind his brother’s house in suburban Whittier.

“I just told them it ain’t right,” Lartundo recalled. “I said, ‘If you are going to write on the wall, write on your own wall.'”

The most recent attack occurred July 15, when a 16-year-old boy was shot and killed after rival graffiti crews converged on a Los Angeles park for a fight. The victim was in a crowd of onlookers. (This was a typical shooting into a crowd crime, that area gangs are known for)

Last August, Maria Hicks, 58, was shot in the head and died after flashing her headlights and honking at a teenager spray-painting a wall near her home in Pico Rivera, a blue-collar suburb east of Los Angeles. Four people have been charged with murder.

Ten days after Hicks died, Seutatia Tausili, 65, was fatally shot and her grandson wounded when he told taggers to stop vandalizing a trash can outside their home in Hesperia in San Bernardino County. Three men were charged with murder.

Robert Whitehead was shot to death in 2006 in the Los Angeles County area of Valinda when he tried to keep taggers from marking a neighbor’s garage. Investigators arrested one man with alleged ties to the Mexican Mafia, a prison gang.

We see this graffiti shit all over the place in my area, We as a community are trying to keep it at a minimum by calling the police when we see something.I go the extra mile and so do several other community members.

I ride around my neighborhood late at night, I walk my neighborhood all hours of the day, I know my neighbors and I know where the trouble is coming from. I also know that when I confront the vandals, I do it with my safety at the forefront of my thoughts. (You be the judge of what that means.)
I have personally been responsible for 8 arrests in my area related to vandals/Burglary and theft and I don’t plan on stopping because of this report. I will not allow these thugs to run my hood, I run my hood, and I do it with the full co-operation of law enforcement I do it with folks that get involved and I do it with out fear because I fear no man on earth, I am old enough and wise enough that I am confident of my abilities and my preparation when I patrol my hood. I use very good judgment when I am out at night. I ASSESS the situation carefully, and I call the police FIRST, I follow, I watch, and I inform the dispatch operator EXACTLY what is going on where I am what I am wearing and  what is going to happen if I get to where the vandals are before the cops do. AND I have only beat the cops there one time, since then they have been johnny on the spot.

This is not a war zone, there are GOOD folks here, the problem is the influx of assholes from LA/Pomona/OC as well as those that grew up here with gang ties. The problem is back to the parents, I don’t give a damn if they are poor, can’t afford to give their kids whatever, there are many programs for kids they chose to be vandals or gangbangers and they end up in prison or dead it is the parents fault. Our liberal laws in Cali our prison system and border policies are directly responsible for the continuing problem in our nation, this is not just a Los Angeles problem.

I think as long as the media, police and our culture is inclined to be afraid rather than fight for what’s right we will continue to see this type of activity. The media is enabling the “Violent vandals” IMO, the reason is simple: You very rarely see a report that praises the efforts of the community or persons responsible for catching  “Taggers” or “Gangbangers”

I personally think once a gang has been ID’d and has more than 10 members, it should be handled by a military entity, rather than the local PD. Their members should be placed under surveilance and at the first crime, be incarserated at Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s place.
The issues of gangs needs to be addressed and with the funding the police get, the budget cuts and the society that allows criminals free reign, it is time for us able bodied individuals to stand up and shoot back so to speak. Unfortunately the laws are set up to benefit the criminal rather than society.

I have as much right not to look at someones “tag” as they have to put it on property that TAX PAYERS (of which I am one) pay for. The parents of MOST of these “taggers” or “Gangbangers”are being handed fines from between 5 and 10 thousand dollars when they are caught, BUT if they are unable to pay because they are on state assistance then what? NOTHING, its a damn slap in the face, the kid gets minimum time at which he meets more idiots like him and NOTHING changes.

The problem as I see it, is OUR laws. It’s the fact that these morons get street cred when caught, but that’s it, the parents don’t suffer, the kids don’t suffer everyone feels good about the arrest but there is NO fear of getting caught again. I would like to see the parents serve a day in jail for every 10 bucks in damage their kid caused. Then I bet we’d get some kids with a different outlook.

I feel sorry for the victims of the “taggers” and “Gangbangers” and they should be held up as fallen hero’s because they stood for something. The media portrays them as the ones at fault. THAT’S WRONG!
