Brothers, 3 and 6, remain hospitalized after a man fires on a crowd in Boyle Heights.
A pair of young brothers from Boyle Heights remained hospitalized Sunday with gunshot wounds after being struck by a bullet believed to have been fired by a longtime area gang member, police said.
The boys were wounded when a gunman fired toward a crowd in the 400 block of North St. Louis Street around 9:30 Saturday night.
The bullet struck Jeremy Hernandez, 3, in the wrist and lodged in the stomach of Jeremy's 6-year-old brother, James. Both boys remain at White Memorial Adventist Hospital, James in critical condition and Jeremy in stable condition.
Police on Sunday identified the alleged shooter as Mauricio Alejandro Jimenez, a native of Mexico and longtime member of the Boyle Heights-based Tiny Boys gang.
Jimenez, 26, has been arrested at least seven times in the past several years for a variety of weapons and gang-related charges — and was deported to Mexico just four months ago after serving more than a year in state prison.
....
Jimenez has been arrested multiple times — mostly for illegal firearms possession, possession of firearms in a school zone and vandalism, Eagleson said.
Most recently, he spent just over a year in prison on weapons charges and a parole violation.

death penalty.
News rhyme, lemon-lime.
Another member of the Frequent Flee-er Club heard from.
Death penalty for violent criminals who have been deported should they EVER be caught in this country again. Poor little boys. The poor are most likely to be harmed by these creatures. Where are the liberals on this??

Just murdering the children that Americans won't...
Sitting on the bench in a black robe.
Haven't seen you in a long, long time, bro ... you forgot .. IMMEDIATE death penalty.
Jimenez has been arrested multiple times...

Why was he still here?
Because it would have been racist and mean to deport him?
At least that is what the other side says. blah
The left uses a story like this to push for the ban of guns altogether (innocent victims). Why is it they want background checks for firearm purchase but not for border crossings or immigration?
Besides family values don't end at the Rio Grande....blah blah blah....

The aiding and abetting comes in packages like those named Bush.
An illegal alien Mexican shooting it up in El-Lay? Daily news, read all about it!
Scumbags like Jimenez are part of this administration's GROSS FAILURE to secure that border, and the resulting revolving-door criminals who infest the border states.
He'll go to prison again, we'll have to support his butt, and if he's deported again, he'll be back. They all come back.
Just another illegal doing the crime American's don't want to do (/sarcasm)
Because Los Angeles doesn't like to rat out illegal aliens to the Feds and because our borders are too porous.
Arresting A Crime Wave
By Jack Dunphy - Jan 30, 2006
Since 1979, when the LAPD enacted Special Order 40, police officers in Los Angeles have been prohibited from taking any action "with the objective of discovering the alien status of a person," and from detaining or arresting anyone based solely on the suspicion that he has illegally entered [or re-entered] the country.
"Undocumented alien status in itself is not a matter for police action," the policy states.

I wonder if the LA authorities care that their residents are harmed by these thugs.
