HUH! So, 40!!!! yrs later, this area has NOT changed. My Mom used to live here and we would visit her every Sunday. It was a gang haven back then. Nice to see it hasn't changed. (NOT!!!) As they say, History Repeats Itself. Everyone had bars on their windows and doors back then. AND you were witness to SHOOTINGS IN BROAD DAYLGHT!! You'd thought that the parents would have started raising their children different. I am a product of L.A. and living in the "Bad Areas"... . It IS this bad everywhere. I live in the Bible Belt and these ppl don't give hoot who they 'harm' for whatever purpose it is that suits them at the time. AND Believe Me, Your COLOR DOES NOT make a DAMN BIT OF DIFFERENCE When Being A SUSPECT!!!
