My children lived in the area of this murder. I see many murders happening in Los Angeles. I know the County Jail is full of people struggling to make end's meet who have always worked. When will we fill the Jails with our streets murders and little elese. Cuality of life will not improve untill LACSD decides it will detain only cerious offenders and let the pople go.

If they are in jail it's for a reason!!!
They should follow all laws instead of giving their kids a reason to run the streets.

Good morning,
I grew up around this area. My parents still live in this area and what the community needs is a "gang intervention!" Majority of my childhood friends that I grew up with are either in jail or dead. No one needs guns! Guns kill! Majority of the youth today have "NO" respect towards anyone especially no respect for themselves. With that, do you really think this "RACE WAR" in the Florence area is going end?

Ricardo Ortiz,
Shut your mouth before you expose even more of just how stupid you are.
Guns do NOT kill! The people using them DO!
I have lots of guns and for some reason they have never killed anyone, care to explain that? For that matter all LAW ABIDING gun owners havent been involved in murder's like this.
Stop blaming the tool and start holding the scum in your neighborhood responsible.
No one needs guns? So what do you propose the cops and the military use instead? Flowers?
Do us all a favor and if your going to have intercourse, use a profilactic.
