Status update: No homicides for more than two weeks?

Whole USA is like a big stock exchange where they gamble around with MONEY...

And if the line between the rich & the poor was not so extreme like it is if we all were a little more equal as far as wealth is concerned there would not be so many killings....

But the truth is we are facing the devilish curse of money since the invention of it... We are at the peak of it worldwide...

When we are in Gods hands we will all be treated in the right way finally
So watch check & see how pure your heart is.....

Rest in paradise to all the fallen ones

Tell us something we don't know!

True, follow the $ and you will see who is
really calling the shots and why. But so
many are blind and controlled that Killings
are "normal" now. Many think of getting
that income,but less think about getting
wealth. Wake up and start in your
community and not wait for Government to
start a "Program". Give the youth options and more options because when they don't
the Streets will give them options. Don't wait
for "Gods Hands" Gods Hands are already
here, you just have to Believe.
Now turn off the Radio!

they're probably not updating you so much because of your approach to your web site. your posting these murders in a racist kind of way. You put so and so "a latino" male or so and so a "black male" to try and seperate all races in los angeles why not just write a 44 year old male was gunned down etc etc... but you have to add that stupid lil black male or latino male bla bla noone gives a damn we know their latino or black or white from the freaking name or picture but who really cares what they are.......are you racist or something? like "ooooooo look how many latino or blacks or whites got killed compare and contrast" who cares wierd racist idiot. a person is a person male is a male female is a female. Personally i wouldent help you post or update you on anything untill you develop some brain matter.

Hi Slicc,

There's nothing inherently racist about giving the race or ethnicity of homicide victims. We explain the practice in our FAQ, which you are free to peruse: http://projects.latimes.com/homicide-report/about/#race -- an excerpt:

"Race and ethnicity, like age and gender, are stark predictors of homicide risk. Blacks are much more likely to die from homicide than whites, and Latinos somewhat more likely. Black men, in particular, are extraordinarily vulnerable: They are less than 9% of the county's population, but they represented nearly a third of homicide victims over the three years of data in the Homicide Report. That means one in a 1,000 blacks became homicide victims over those three years, more than 10 times the rate for whites and nearly four times the rate for Latinos.

The Homicide Report recognizes the peril of turning victims into statistics by reducing their lives and deaths to a few facts -- particularly racial designations that provide only the roughest markers of ancestry and history. But given the magnitude of difference in homicide risk along racial and ethnic lines – -and the suffering homicide inflicts on subsets of the population -- we opt to present the racial and ethnic contours of the problem so conspicuous in the coroner's data."

OH common sensitive!! DATa is data black or not. Not noting the RACE fact that BLACKS continue to die every day does not change the fact they are black.
What we need to change is the death toll and it starts at HOME yes HOME not in school, not at the governments hands.

I grew up w a very diverse group of kids. All races and income levels. Only the ones that lacked parent involvement did poorly regardless of race.
Get upset at the killings not the race disclosure!!!

Embrace your race by getting involved and telling all that education is the way out of poverty not partying on and having kids out of wedlock..

Well said Yuri! It should not matter what race people are when their deaths are posted on this blog, BUT it is what it is and these are the facts!

Lets start getting more involved in our communities so we can stop reading about the senseless deaths of people no matter what race.
