Los Angeles Fox reporter John Schwada blogged about the secret that everyone in LA knows, that hispanic gangsters are shooting down random blacks (like 14-year-old Cheryl Green) to show their growing power. The murder of 17-year-old Jamiel Shaw last month looks like another one of those killings, but is hardly the first.
“LA County Sheriff Lee Baca, on April 4th, told a largely African-American audience in http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3090 gangs over drugs and turf they are sometimes satisfied to kill any young black living in their rival’s territory in order to flex their criminal muscle. In other words, Baca asserted innocents are being targeted for death by gangs just because of their race. Sounds like a hate-crime to most of us.
“Fox 11 News obtained a videotape of the remarks Baca made to the National Association for Equal Justice in America; those remarks, taped by Lonzo Williams, a cable TV talk-show host, were included in a Fox 11 story that aired Friday (April 10) as part of our continuing coverage of the murder of Jamiel Shaw, a promising LA High School football player, allegedly killed by an http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4006. But Shaw was not a member of BPS, and the evening he was murdered Shaw was not wearing attire that might have caused him to be mistakenly identified as a gang member. Immigration and police officials say Shaw’s accused murderer, Pedro Espinoza, 19, is an illegal alien who has been an 18th Street gang member since he was 12 years old.”
Twelve-year-old gang members — another reason to celebrate diversity! (It’s almost as good as the recent Colorado story about a diverse couple: http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4170.)
Here’s more from Baca’s remarks.
“Pretty explosive stuff. And then Baca went a step further, claiming his deputies had overheard jailed Latino gang bosses (so-called “shot-callers”) telling their followers on the outside that, in a feud with a black gang, it was okay to kill any blacks to make their point. “We’ve heard when the person out there can’t find African-American gang member to shoot, the shot-caller says: ‘Then shoot any African-American you see.’”
