I'd be curious what percentage of the weaponry used by these gangs was gathered during the riots not so many years ago after the Rodney King police abuse trials

Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton have been trying to gain solidarity between blacks, latinos. Guess the rank & file haven't gotten the word yet.

"If it's not race motivated, if it's not gang motivated, then what the hell is the motivation?"How about pure evil? Not too many things more evil than gunning down a perfect stranger minding his own business.
I'd like to see all these "hate crime" laws struck down. They add a banality to real crimes that's sickening.

Next the AP will be shocked, SHOCKED, that there's gambling going on at Rick's Cafe Americain.
Captain Obvious must have joined their news staff.

"Martinez and three other members of the Avenues, a Hispanic gang entrenched in one Los Angeles neighborhood, were convicted of federal hate crimes..."Would the dead victim be less dead if this were not a hate crime?
Whoever came up with that expression had too much time on his hands.

Most racism is black against white, as evidenced by crime statistics. Since black racism doesn't follow the action line of the MSM, that will never be stated in a news report. According to them, only Whitey, aka "The Man," can be racist.

How about pure evil? Not too many things more evil than gunning down a perfect stranger minding his own business. The black gangs and Hispanic gangs are in competition for prime drug turf. If the Hispanic gangs can drive the blacks out, then they own the turf

No, the story would be that "Well to do white American bar owner forces black man to play piano for low wages".
Just remember this...

"Hate crimes" legisaltion could be replaced with a good hemp rope - as in this case - and the result would be far more effective.

Ethnic violence are what gangs are all about. It's ever been thus.

Whe I was in school in Los Angeles over 50 years ago it was always mexican gang against mexican gang.
In the same areas today nothing has changed.
