- TexasKoz, on 05/22/2009, -3/+61If I was in a gang....and I'm not.....I would definitely pick a better name than Varrio Hawaiian Gardens Gang......They might be some bad-ass dudes but the name freakin cracks me up!
- mikeinto, on 05/22/2009, -5/+54Chief of Police for the Los Angeles Police said in March 2008 "There is not that type of racial animosity in this city," Bratton said. "In a country where race is on the front page all the time, we do pretty well there."
This was after 2 Hispanic men shot and critically wounded a 6-year-old black boy.
It's pathetic that the politically correct Nazis will view this news article as a racial smear against Hispanics. There is absolutely no difference in the racial hatred festering in the KKK and that of the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens Gang. - FAT_PIGGY, on 05/22/2009, -3/+49Gang member = Filth
- siszam, on 05/22/2009, -5/+41Want read something interesting about Hispanic racism? Look up the Plan of San Diego. Hispanics wanted to kill the white males. Also look into La Raza. My husband is Hispanic and even he says they are the Hispanic equivalent of the KKK.

Only the most cold blooded hardcore criminal douchebags would do something so senseless like that.
How is gun control working for you, Commiefornia?
As long as people are disarmed, more violent crime will happen. - Tsumuji, on 05/22/2009, -3/+33I dugg you for two different reasons:
-You took the time to research if your statement would be valid
-You admitted being wrong ON DIGG. That takes guts, man.
Cheers. - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -6/+35Imagine how much bigger this story would have been if the ones accused of targeting blacks were white.
I wonder why that's the case. - chaseonfire, on 05/22/2009, -0/+29The KKK aren't currently killing people, I would say this gang is much worse.
- roostersheep, on 05/22/2009, -5/+33I was going to reply to your post with a sarcastic line about how the crime rate in Switzerland is so high because they don't have guns. But after finding out that it's legal to have a gun in Switzerland - and they happen to have a hell of a lot of guns, my point of view has been swayed. I suppose the proof is in the pudding.
- pookydirt, on 05/22/2009, -1/+27Although, at least it's a good thing the neighborhood's not called "Hibiscus Hollow" or "Pineapple Place" or something...
- inactive, on 05/22/2009, -2/+28A few months later, LA Sheriff Lee Baca wrote an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times titled "In L.A., race kills."
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-baca12-2 ...
Needless to say, Baca and Bratton don't see eye to eye on the cause of LA's violence. Baca acknowledges black-Latino tensions are in large part to blame, and Bratton has his head in the sand. - startle3iv, on 05/22/2009, -1/+26"The investigation of the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens gang began in June 2005 after the murder of Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Luis Gerardo "Jerry" Ortiz.
"It was this hatred of African-Americans that may have spurred the attack on Deputy Jerry Ortiz, who was killed trying to arrest a gang member suspected of trying to shoot an African-American man in the back,""
I'm sure racial tension exists but that sounds more like these fools are just out there killing anyone they don't like including other Latinos. - charm803, on 05/22/2009, -2/+26Our local and only newspaper in town doesn't like mentioning the word "Hispanic" or "black" or "white" when describing SUSPECTS because they said people might find it offensive, and we wouldn't want THAT, now would we? I had to create the Ventura County Crime Blog just so we can have complete information, which has since be embraced by local law enforcement.
I'm a Latina and these racists and violent Latinos make the rest of us trying to love America look bad.
My father came from Mexico and is an American Citizen and he embraced America and technology so much, he even has his own blog.
He taught me respect and appreciation for different cultures and he's a great father. Much more than I can say for the fools that raised these idiots. - maybeth, on 05/22/2009, -5/+26Hmmm...so if they pass this "Hate-crime" bill, how does that work when they are both minorities trying to kill each other? Seems to me this would be a "hate-crime" if they are killing each other because of their ethniticity. Which side would get to use the "hate-crime" charge? I am sure that if these "Latinos" are illegals, they probably will get more protection from the law than any legal "African-American" in this mixed up country we live in now.
These are the types of stories that make me so proud to be an American. - mikeinto, on 05/22/2009, -1/+20Bratton is the biggest advocate of Special Order 40 which basically allows miscreant illegal immigrants to walk the streets of Los Angeles without fear of deportation
Bratton tenure is a good example of what happens when political correctness policies go astray. - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -4/+23So Manson sorta almost had it right?
- inactive, on 05/22/2009, -3/+21On the FBI's Hate Crime Incident Report from, Hispanics are a victim category but not a suspect category, so Hispanic-on-black hate crimes get recorded as white-on-black hate crimes.
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hatecrime.pdf#page=23
Black-on-Hispanic hate crimes are recorded as such. - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -6/+24New topic: Black and Latino gangs have been targeting white Americans for decades, but now that Latino gangs are attacking blacks, it's time to talk about how gangs are violent racial organizations that commit hate crime.
- bot001220, on 05/22/2009, -0/+18It's the name of the place they live... some places just have "better" sounding names for gangs.
My favorite example: a while back, a gang known as the Baker Street gang terrorized their city so much, one of the ways the city council fought back was to change the name of Baker street to "Pansy circle lane". The Baker Street gang was not impressed. - donnytomas, on 05/22/2009, -1/+18Nobody ever accused them of being tasteful or smart.
- westtexas357, on 05/22/2009, -2/+18I had to go to the internet to find out this was hispanic's killing black people.
Our local radio wouldn't dare mention such a thing. - westtexas357, on 05/22/2009, -8/+20yeah gun control cause if you made a rule about guns then they would have to follow the rules!
Why hasn't anyone thought of that?
Or they could even make a rule about killing black people.
Problem solved - lib thinking wins again. - altgeeky1, on 05/22/2009, -0/+12If you read other articles, they're targeting all non-Latinos. Mostly because they want only "their" people in the neighborhood... so the neighborhood will clam up and not participate with the police.
A secondary reason is a lot of Mexicans are taught that California was "stolen" (not bought) from Mexico, so there are other feelings at work. - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -5/+16So wait, guns make people safer... but we're talking about a 6-year-old boy here. Your ideal world has a 6-year-old boy walking around with an automatic weapon so he can fight off people trying to kill him?
- kelmaster1, on 05/22/2009, -2/+13There's such a thing as politically correct Nazis?
- elTito, on 05/22/2009, -0/+11It is more than "racial tensions" in SoCal these days. It's literally becoming a latino vs. black race war.
I was doing some law enforcement training down there about a year ago, and one of the instructors said that if this were whites vs. blacks or whites vs. latinos, it would be a huge deal, but because it's minority on minority nobody seems to care. - DrVic, on 05/22/2009, -3/+14I thought only white males can be racist. who knew?
- aufte, on 05/22/2009, -3/+13Only white people commit hate crimes.
- TexasKoz, on 05/22/2009, -6/+16No fv^king way!
- Recluse84, on 05/22/2009, -1/+10It must have been a friggin extremely slow news day in L.A. if black vs latino gang violence is making the news.
- Landthatilove, on 05/22/2009, -1/+9"What happens when they run out of blacks?"
I don't know about you, but I'll shoot back. I don't miss very often. - burzikak, on 05/22/2009, -1/+9yeah you should totally hold white people accountable for all the bad things other white people have done over the centuries.
progressive thinking there - kd1s, on 05/22/2009, -0/+8Or Apple Dumpling Place. Then they'd be the Apple Dumpling Gang.
- alfredscakes, on 05/22/2009, -2/+10Funny we have that problem in the UK
- executorzz, on 05/22/2009, -2/+10Is black on white crime considered to be racist? I'm not white but I think this is a double standard.
- Frostek, on 05/22/2009, -0/+8Hmmm... waste of resources?
Could we turn gang members into compost? - haffe, on 05/22/2009, -3/+11Why not bring up Japan instead?
- roostersheep, on 05/22/2009, -1/+9haffe, fair point. Though I can't be bothered to look up gun laws/safety in Japan right now. If I'm honest I just thought of the safest place to live and Switzerland popped into my head. Living next-door to a north korean nutcase who likes to throw fireworks through your window isn't what I'd call a safe place to live.
- maz2331, on 05/22/2009, -0/+7Especially since "La Raza" roughly translates to "The Race".
- Waiting2awake, on 05/22/2009, -1/+8I think that problem exists everywhere.
- DouglasQ, on 05/22/2009, -0/+7"A Latino street gang waged a racist campaign to eliminate the city's black residents through attempted murders"
I think if what you actually plan an ATTEMPTED murder, you really have confidence issues. - dikky, on 05/22/2009, -1/+8I wish there was a 2 strike rule for violent gang offenses and then you get death
- DankBuddz, on 05/22/2009, -6/+13Oh you're special because you're libertarian.
- nyxerebos, on 05/22/2009, -0/+7"The investigation of the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens gang began in June 2005 after the murder of Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Luis Gerardo "Jerry" Ortiz. Jose Luis Orozco, a member of the gang, was sentenced to death in 2007 for the killing."
So for five years a gang can wage its racist campaign, but if a policeman is killed suddenly it needs investigating? - moothemagiccow, on 05/22/2009, -0/+7Bad ass dudes? Sound like a bunch of moronic thugs
- Saiid11, on 05/22/2009, -2/+8America has just as much a problem with (SOME) latinos as America has a problem with radical Islamist. America should deport and take it's southern border issue seriously. It is not a suprise that (SOME) hispanics hate blacks. Cowards attack people that have not personally attack them. Until California authorities get the funding and backing to go after these racist worm excrement this issue will reach a serious boiling point.
I got an invitation to low lifes that prey on the weak. Come to cities like Atlanta,Chicago,Detroit,DC, or NYC and try and pull off those acts of cowardice. I'm sure lowlife cowards would get a rude introduction to a ZULU like mentality. I'm advocating violence but it's not wrong to defend yourself. Blacks in that area should wake up and never forget until America gets serious about the illiegal allien issue in California they are like the Texan's surrounded in the Alamo and don't make the same mistakes they made, help might not ever come and don't depend on others for rescue. It's bad enough blacks have to fight black on black crime, ignorance in the communities, hate from society, now they have to fight fools that shouldn't even be here. - govsucks, on 05/22/2009, -1/+7@Charm
My wife is Latina from Colombia. May I say, it is people like you and your father that we WANT here in America. My wife feels the SAME way you do about these racists Latinos. I'm personally fed up to my eyeballs with them. We live in a diverse neighborhood. White, black, Latino, europeans etc. We've had some of these gang members move in. Since they moved in we've had 4 shooting in our neighborhood, one house has been destroyed and they are working on destroying a second one. The police do nothing despite call after call of fights, open gun play in the streets, smashing liquor bottles on our street. Doing peel outs and driving through peoples yards. Just no respect whatsoever for anyone else. It has become so bad that myself and several of the other men in the neighborhood have talked about doing something about it ourselves because our government that robs our family of taxes does nothing.
How does that do the collectivist argument of "police and fire" that I pay taxes for so they can do nothing?
I am VERY frustrated by this. Its as if they have all the benefits of America and none of the responsibility. Of course we have plenty of Americans that are the same way.
Anyway, tell your dad its good to have men like him here in America. My wife embraced America and specifically liberty. Sometimes I think she understands our system of government better than I do. - orlyfactor, on 05/22/2009, -1/+7Hasn't this been going on for a long time?
- dhVyse, on 05/22/2009, -1/+7Someone should let these gangs know it's 2009 not the 80s.
