I thought the people from Central America and Mexico were humble folk just looking for work? Family values? According to this report, they are an insane 3rd world murder epidemic in Los Angeles. Looks like now you are hiding these facts as well. No more "latino, white, black" ....yes it helps. Those moving to LA might want to KNOW where the murders occur and who is responsible. Racist? I think not. It' s about CULTURE. Latinos from mex and central america are a different breed of Latino... Criminal behavior is much more of a reality than the immigrant from Chile etc.
You should LET LOS ANGELES KNOW what a majority of these poverty transplants bring us besides the slave wage labor. How about that for INFORMATION? As opposed to Censorship! From an LA native born and raised and AWARE of the changes occuring due to an increasingly violent, arrogant and NON Assimilating 3rd world presence in Los Angeles. Reply?
Didn't think so.
