DELANO — Here in the birthplace of Cesar Chavez's nonviolent farm labor movement, a 14-year-old who aspired to become a policeman is cut down by gunfire on his front porch.
In the farm town of Merced, billed as the gateway to Yosemite, an armed gang member shoots an officer after a vehicle stop -- the first police slaying in the city's 118-year history.
And in Red Bluff, which prides itself on its Victorian homes, rodeos, hunting and fishing, a teenage gangster pumps seven bullets into another high school student outside a party.
Along the 450 miles of the Central Valley, an explosion of gang violence in recent years has transformed life on the wide, tree-lined streets of California's agricultural heartland.

Meester Boosh,, MS13 is your legacy.
Agreed.
Like Duh! And this gov’t is powerless to stop the violence and the increasing assaults on it’s citizenry. And yet each year we pay taxes to support it. Next we’ll have to pay protection money to the gangs to secure our homes and families.
This might interest you.
Sooner or later, we are gonna have to “take out the trash.”
And if not, we are gonna have one hellofa race war!
Neither link seemed to work. Don’t know if the article was pulled or what.
Too bad. I grew up with many Mexican friends in SoCal. Illegals and gangsters have made this a race war. There is a bad element to every race.
We are just being overwhelmed by people that do not want to be Americans, but expect to be supported by them.
I have watched for years as parents and politcians have “spared the rod and spoiled the child” Why are we surprised this continued degradation of society continues to expand?
Years ago, fathers got together and took care of this problem. Now the government through lawyers and other parasitic practices have cowed the men in this country to allow protection of family and home be someone elses problem.
Sad
OOPS...here’s the full post I intended in post 8...about a book on
the Central Valley situation.
IIRC, Hanson was planning to leave the old family homestead due to
the rising tide of crime and lawlessness.

I’m not sure if it’s just an immigration issue. Blacks created the gangsta subculture. But either way, it’s a serious problem that seems to be ignored in many circles.
There is MS 13 graffitti in our small town in NC. Honestly, there is some carved into the back bench inside the courthouse. My husband and I took pictures of it as well as some other painted on walls here in town and took them to the mayor. He says there’s no gang activity here, no, not none, no siree. The city commissioner we took it to didn’t even have a clue what it was.
