To those cowards who have nothing better to do. Do urself a favor & learn to at least be street smart. Your worthless pieces of sh**s trying to act hard with a gun. But I bet anything if u were caught empty handed u would be running like a b***h. You guys r laughing but its a laugh of anger knowing ur boys (the murders) got caught 2 weeks later and now there crying like females and don't have the balls to keep there mouth shut n face the charges they ratting each other out like rats.it only proves my point ur nothing but cowards cause u don't even say who u are. U write sh*t here anonymously cause ur scared. So man up or keep ur comments to urself.
Manuel is resting
While the wortless pieces of sh*t, rats, cowards will rott in prison for the rest of there lifes.

who shot him

According to the first comment with the smiley face it was "wsp." WSP is a gang known as Westside Pomona. I know because I live in pomona and a "homeboy" from this gang pointed a gun at me. It was late and I had just gotten back from a party. Soon they will realize they're nothing but garbage in our society.

— UCLAman, unfortunately these gangsters don't realize they are worthless until they have been convicted of a serious crime and have been in jail for several years with many more to serve.

Syscom3, I couldn't agree more. This is also when gangster realizes they have no homies to visit them in jail. Usually, it's the parents that are the ones who also suffer for their son who threw their life away over a gang!

They know they are worthless that's why they are out in the streets. Its unfortunate many times their own family sets them a bad example.and its inocent familys who pay the consequences. For instance manuel left us at such a young age. Leaving his loved ones behind a death its something that can't be cured with anything. They think their tough going around with a gun. But behind bars they put there head down & think that about reality. Too bad there life is now in prison facing life. They probably regret what they did. They thought they would get away with it like they probably gotten away with other crimes.
God. & justice is with the Morales family & we best to believe this case. Will end with the best outcome
Hoping to God that the judge veridicts them to LIFE that's the least they can get. The day of there sentence will celebrate the way they celebrated and innocent persons death.
They will die slowly n suffer for many years.
While our loved one is restinng peacefully happy knowing there in prison & won't give another family the pain they given us.
This pain nothing can take it away our only hope is that he will b waiting for us & someday will b together.

— unknown, you just remember what you wrote come election day.
Look at every single incumbent running for reelection and ask yourself "what has this person done for me or the community".
Are your neighborhoods safer? The schools better? Have good economic prospects?
Are these officials just sprouting off the same tired and stale rhetoric week after week? For some of them its still the same words decade after decade.
Nothing will change until the people of these killing fields decide to change these officials.

My condolences to the Morales Family. May God grant you peace at this time. I pray justice for your family. The people who did this to your loved one needs JESUS in their life.

Whomever posted that last comment, it wasnt the true syscom3.
LA Times - look at the e-mail address that person used. It sure isn't the one I have been using for three years.
Not only that, I would have capitalized the first letter of his name, nor would I have sent a post at that time of the morning.
Its nice to know I have a fan club of sorts!

I already knew. If you read this blog long enough, you recognize people's different writing styles.

Why did the problem start.
People don't go shooting random people for target practice, that just doesn't happen in Pomona.

Pomona, you ask that question like you know something. What was the cause of this shooting and why did a young man lose his life? Gangs and gangbangers are all victims of ignorance.
Oct. 24, 2011 at 2:23 p.m.
You guys talk about the streets like if you guys know whats up. You cant go around shooting people and dont expect to get hit back. Also you guys talk about cowards and rats the only rat and coward is lil mainr singing his lalabies punk rat pointing people out.
