Police are searching for the suspect who killed 10 people at a business late Saturday in Monterey Park, Calif., in a mass shooting that occurred as the community’s large Asian population celebrated the beginning of the Lunar New Year.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Capt. Drew Meyer said Sunday that 10 victims were pronounced dead at the scene, and 10 more hospitalized.

Sheriff’s officials told The Associated Press that the shooting was reported at 10:22 p.m. and involved a male shooter, who is still at large.

The community is about 10 miles from downtown Los Angeles.

Seung Won Choi, who owns a seafood restaurant across the street from where the shooting happened, told the Los Angles Times that the incident occurred at a nightclub.

Choi said people fleeing the shooting told him the shooter was armed with a machine gun and had multiple rounds of ammunition.

He’s black and bent out of shape because it’s racist to usually be correct about the disproportionate number of violent crimes committed by black men.

Apparently you and I are the problem, not the violent blacks.
If we merely pandered to blacks, they’d quit committing violent crimes that we racists telepathically put in their heads.

Cali-pornia has had a ban on those “E-e-vil” military style semi auto rifles since 1989. Also mags limited to 10 rounds.

How is that working out for you Cali?

Isn't that a racist statement or something? Well, not racist, but the equivalent of racist. Maybe sexist, or "gender"ist, or at least anti-"equity".

I mean, according to the press these days, you can't tell just by looking at someone to know that they are male. According to the left, you can't even pull their pants down and look at what's inside to know if someone is male or not. You first have to ask them how they "feel" before you can assign their "gender".

“Choi said people fleeing the shooting told him the shooter was armed with a machine gun and had multiple rounds of ammunition.”

I have never once heard of a shooter armed with a machine gun and a single round of ammunition.

I also bet it was not a machine gun.

I would not bet against you. The article is comical, minus the terrible truth.
A description of the weapon, but not the murderer…

So, Californistan has 900 gazillion gun laws.

Yet the shooter shot.

Perhaps if they pass ONE MORE GUN LAW, THAT will solve it.

No details there again. They make it sound as if there aren’t laws on the books for these crimes.
Put scum away forever.
Fewer strikes, harsher punishments.

We also need to kick out every single illegal alien. No matter the country of origin.

Police may have the suspect surrounded in Torrance. “May have”. There are numerous police vehicles surrounding a white van in a parking lot, in a standoff. Watching it now on local news. No other details.

It is across the Walmart on Hawthorne Blvd...Near Hawthorne Blvd and Sepulveda Blvd...

Two armored cars are preventing the white van from moving...

I know that area in Torrance...I have been to that Walmart several times...

KTLA is covering that standoff in Torrance...

The media can’t resist using the verbiage of “hate crime” even though Sheriff Luna stated in a press conference that the shooter was an Asian male.

He said “multiple rounds in one cartridge.”

Shotgun? I guess that makes my shotguns into machine guns.

And of course the left couldn’t wait to politicize it, all the time pretending to care about the victims and their families. Frankly, the pretense is offensive.

They may be overshadowed by riots in Memphis. We’ll see how the body-cam video release goes.

Another tragic example of Eskimo on Chinese violence.

East Los Angeles. There is always gangs fighting there.

East Los Angeles is south of Monterey Park...Drive on the 60 Freeway...Exit on Atlantic Blvd...You go north on Atlantic...You end up in Monterey Park...You go south on Atlantic...You end up in East Los Angeles...

You go south on Atlantic Blvd...There is Garfield High School...Jaime Escalante, a famous math teacher, used to work there...

East Los Angeles is unincorporated...County Board of Supervisors is responsible for that area...

East LA is almost 90% Hispanic...Different from Monterey Park...
