Just a little riff on the Jounalism 101 rule to never mention the race of crime perpetrators unless they're white ... "That's my homeboy!"

An unfortunate incident- glad more weren't hurt.

Missing from the article is a description of the firearm- AK47 with infrared scope and armor piercing bullets, no doubt.

The reporter probably thought too many saw it to get away with that.

"The beach is where people come to have fun.''

That's what the homeboys were doing, having fun.

Rule #2: If SUVs were present, the headline wording will be something like, "Gunfire Erupts from SUVs at Ocean Beach".

[Blue Screen of Death]

Give the reporter a break. At least this is a change from stories about drive by slapping.

Scum on scum violence thined out the gene pool here.

Well, I run by there every morning before work. Recently, it seems like there are more and more spots along my daily workout route where someone has been killed.

There are also problems with Russian/Ukrainian gangs.

The homeless people and their unleashed dogs are a big problem, too.

So one suspect ran into the surf with a gun.

Anyone up for a game of Marco Polo?

[Gritty]

Just as everybody warned and predicted - this State has turned into the "Wild West". People are gunning each other down left and right, not only at every traffic light but at the beach where children are running around with beach balls and sand buckets!

See? This is what happens when the powerful NRA Lobby gets these CCW laws passed, against all the wishes of the peaceful, law-abiding, safety-consious citizenry!

Oh, wait an minute. This is Ocean Beach, California, not Ocean Beach, North Carolina!!

Sorry.

[aomagrat]

It's a good thing California has such strict gun control or someone could have got hurt.

Police also recovered a knife and a screwdriver at the scene, and a suspect was arrested nearby with an illegal billy club.

It was safe to go after the guy with the club, rather than the shooter. Remember, the most important thing for a cop is that he goes home after his shift is over, not whether or not you do.
