Mayor Johnson made a statement, "dont demonize the gangstas"

[duckling]

It's always "them" and "them", but never "them".

Where is the F’n city council’s collective voice of frustration? Typical, when problems like this arise, they always slide themselves under the bed.

This is why we are angry our communities are being flooded with folks who may be part of overseas gangs or have outstanding debts to cartels. Just because a couple has a child doesn't mean they aren't part of the drug cartel; who are ready to take control of our communities and this developed country.

The President of El Salvador must be shaking his head right now. Can you imagine this happening in El Salvador? Not

[TedSurfsupdude]

Open borders. Biden needs to take a lot of blame for this.

[flipinesekid]

This is normal. What did they think was gunna happen?

[robertmasina]

From a sociological standpoint, isn't it time for the Mexican/Hispanic community to look into why some of their youth gravitate towards gang culture?

[georgedmichalios]

Why don't they just move the parade elsewhere when there's two different gangs in that turf?

[Chacmool]

The Latin Kings & the SDz from Little Village neighborhood

[chi_fonseca]
