Gardena High School was rough when my husband graduated.

There was a lot of tension due to the forced integration that started in the sixties. It’s a big school. When my husband attended, there were three thousand students. He had to cross the freeway to get to some of his classes.

They’ve had metal detectors for a long time, but the campus is so large that things can be tossed over the fence and retrieved later.

When my husband was there, he got jumped by several kids who cut him. Afterward, one of the kids that jumped him was supposed to be expelled and the others suspended.

They showed up and threatened to really fix him after that. My husband drove a pickup truck to school. When he was threatened by these kids again, he put a shotgun in his truck in case he needed to defend himself. He told school officials and the police what he did and why.

That was before all the anti gun hysteria, so nothing happened to my husband for bringing his shotgun to school and once they finally got rid of these kids who cut him up, he quit putting the shotgun behind the seat of his truck.

Maybe I overreacted in my other post. I know how bad that school is. I know how bad that area is. Maybe my husband, and other kids that went to that school got through it alive due to prayers like Danae’s.

I’m not a PC type and I don’t appreciate your trying to label me. I didn’t try to put a label on you. I understand you didn’t mean everyone, but that was kind of an ugly way to put it.

Due to the way things are now and the upside down just plain wrongness of it all I can’t blame anyone for venting though.
