“In January, four young men sitting in a stolen car were gunned down in a trendy neighborhood near City Hall.”

Ah, they have a new euphism - “young men”. I guess “teens” and “youths” is now too obvious as to who the perps might be.

They should be investigating their ties to Sunday school classes and the California Scholarship Federation.

I hate watching my ancestral home (5 generations) being slowly burned down by idiots.
