Residents of Watts, a predominantly Latino and black neighborhood in south-central Los Angeles, are being discouraged from attending large gatherings for the rest of 2023 due to the recent surge of drive-by and mass shootings in the area.
The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday:
Leaders have now called on Watts residents not to congregate in large groups for the rest of 2023.
…
The impassioned calls for “unity within the community” arrived on the heels of two shootings that killed two and injured nine near the Imperial Courts and Jordan Downs public housing projects, according to LAPD Deputy Chief Emada Tingirides. She told The Times that law enforcement agencies were investigating the recent shootings.
…
Attendees were told during Tuesday’s briefing that both of the incidents involved lone gunmen. Disrespectful posts on social media likely fueled some of the shootings, which Rejón says is a trend that has picked up in other major cities across the country in recent years. He blames social media and online “rumor mills” that help disrespectful messages feed into a larger conflict.

‘Large gatherings’ of WHAT exactly?.....................
Well that’s dumb. How are they going to shoot up a crowd of people if there are no crowds?
Haven’t looked at the dynamic there in a few years… about 10 years ago it was the mestizos decimating the less organized and effective black gangs and taking their neighborhoods over. Of course, the ferals are always killing one another too.
My guess is the Latino gangs are pushing the blacks out of Watts
Who’s doing the “shootings” ? The KKK?
Perhaps more de-funding of the police would help.
Large gatherings’ of WHAT exactly?
—
Groups of Amish people selling produce?
It’s a joke. Large gathering, small gathering, walking down the street alone, or sitting on the couch in a house doesn’t diminish the chance to get shot. Fix the real problems and stop telling people what to do.
Gee, if o ly there were some large group of highly trained men and women who could patrol and have authority to arrest folks, and investigate threats znd such. If only there were some body of authorities who had such power to protect and serve, and clean the streets of garbage.
“Large gatherings’ of WHAT exactly?”
Not sure, but I can guarantee one thing.....it ain’t a job fair.
Sounds like urging people to flee the state.
Try Chicago.
So, CA, how are all those gun laws working out for you?????
Meanwhile, the foreign freeloading invaders are risking their lives, wasting their life savings and busting their asses gettubg into evil, “white supremacist, racist America.
Nonsense, if they wear an N95 mask they should be fine.
Lacking in ability to follow Civil code is the first step in the process of getting away from civilization and regressing to savages and barbarism.
Yep,, defund the police and create war zones.
Yep, they wanna defend the police, AND allow thugs like blm and antifa to set up “autonomous zones”, comandeering entire city blocks with force, where blm and antifa are the only ones allowed to decide who can and can’t enter.
Considering all of the resistance, perhaps the area should change its name from Watts to Ohms.
