A little know fact is Latino, Black and Asians don’t like each other.
This is why they tend to live in different areas.

Of course not. They blamed it on gangs. Gangs of whites and Asians, perhaps?

Hence the big yawn in the MSM. Now if Hollywood big shots and Democrat politicians were getting killed, the response would be a bit different.

Nooooo this can’t be right. Those cultures are famous for their tranquility.

It’s really all of those semi-sentient guns which leap into peoples hands and set themselves off.

I used to care about such things, but due to the non-stop propaganda I get every day, I don’t any more.

Get rid of the cops like they want to.

Arm yourself, get training, become proficient and organize.

This nonsense will sort itself out rather quickly. Start over when the dust settles.

Well, I hope I don’t get banned for this, but, everyone of any ethnicity, tends to move away when too many blacks move into a neighborhood. It’s not just “white flight” which has happened for decades.

‘ Kevin “Twin” Orange, a gang intervention worker for the city, said the pandemic is fully to blame, because it undercut so many programs designed to stop violence’

Fully to blame ay? Let’s take a trip back to the early 1930’s Depression years with massive unemployment and poor conditions. There weren’t any surges in murders the people committed to fully blame the Depression and government responses. Fully blame the murderous cretins for their chosen actions/crimes.

Buried in the article - “available data do indicate similar racial disparities among homicide suspects.”

Kevin Orange is full of it, at least on this issue.

Many cities have been plagued by gang violence for decades. It’s not a new thing, and it certainly isn’t caused by the pandemic undercutting programs designed to stop violence.

good point about the Depression. So many people lived in such difficult circumstances then. Yet crime rates were much lower then than now.

Now where did you get that silly idea? Everybody knows White Extremists laden with Systemic Racism have invaded those peaceful parts of LA and begun exterminating the POCs.

I think it’s becoming more and more likely.

Departments can’t hire anyone, anymore and that’s been going on for some time.

The folks doing the killing are still, for the most part, are still killing themselves.

If/when they decide to leave their ghettos and favelas, start heading out to the ‘burbs things will, I hope, will change. Where I live, it’s common to see folks carrying. I don’t agree with Open Carry, personally, but to each their own and I won’t criticize anyone for doing it.
