EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. (KGO) -- Residents of East Palo Alto are gathering Wednesday evening to take back a park beloved by children and families who were caught in the crossfire as two groups shot at each other, leaving one man dead and three others wounded.

Police say 33 shots were fired, starting around 6 p.m. Tuesday evening at Jack Farrell Park on Fordham Street as children were playing tag and a church baseball team was practicing for an upcoming game.

It’s amazing with all that wealth around there that East Palo Alto still remains a thug ridden dump.

Not the least bit amazing. When I visit around there and in SoCal, I see wealth and poverty side-by-side like some other countries I have been to. It's the inevitable result of anarcho-tyranny. Only lower class and super-elite remain, no more ordinary middle class. The thugs are not prosecuted. The dwindling middle class is either working 80 hours or stoned.

Bill Cosby once said something like that and was roundly roasted by the left. As one would suspect what he said was totally reasonable and I’m paraphrasing “... if you want your kid to be successful in the USA, name them an American name. If you want them to successful in Africa, give them an African name.”

How many degrees of separation is that from Kevin Bacon?

Trevor Noah when he first came to America had some funny bits. (Not so much now).

One was he meets some black guy whose name was something like Zimbago Wasynobia. “Yeah - I changed it to honor my African heritage!”

“But you’re FROM Africa - that’s so cool! What’s your name brother?”

“Um... Trevor.”

Get a load of this...

East Palo Alto sends message to shooters: 'We're not going to tolerate this' Police, faith leaders beseech residents to come forward with information and video of Tuesday's fatal shooting

God help the law-abiding in that neck of the woods.

There was an interview with some black guy in Buffalo that talked for an hour and a half with the punk shooter the day before. The black guy hung out at the store - said the bench out front was his “office.”

The guy said something like “So I see this kid in the store - it didn’t look like he was from around here. He’s got a t-shirt on that say ‘Genius’ on it. So I started talking to him to see if he was. We talked about Quantum Physics and String Theory - we talked for an hour and a half. Yeah - I guess he was a genius. But today Officer Brad was saying no loitering, so I didn’t even sit down. I went across the street. An hour later the shooting starts - he saved my life.”

I actually read your link about all the useless, dumbass black faith based leaders. I think their “faith” scam is being kept afloat via various city, county, state grants for out reach projects and other scams. Otherwise, they would be as broke ass as Elijah Muhammed was. The Founder of Nation of Islam back in the 1930s.

East Palo Alto has always been a trouble spot.

What can you say about a town where the main drag is named “Pulgas?”
