I see gang taging in the area of alhambra near the 10 freeway It was ssvalhax3 sgv i thank it is a mexican gang in the area

I doubt that it was a gang initiation thing. All those gang initiation stories you hear are urban legends with no basis in fact. If you join a gang, you get initiated by getting beat up, not by randomly killing a stranger. I can promise you that if they catch the killer, it won't have been a gang-motivated killing (unless it turns out that shooter and shootee were members of rival gangs).

What is wrong with some people in are city? Its bad enough that the traffic is horrible and now we have to dodge bullets too. Its a sad time were living in.

This city is totally lost. What a terrible place to live it has become. I heard it was some sort of gang initiation to shoot the guy. It should be a federal offense to be in a gang. Then we should do something about the conditions in our penal system so that people that go in, do not come out better trained to commit crimes and more likely to join gangs. And how about some decent schools!

When the violence gets this random, even the rich need to take notice because it could be anyone next.

shaun, i'm not sure at all what's wrong with some folks here. what i do know is that it's a sad day when riding a motorcycle is safer than driving on a freeway.

what the hell is wrong with some people in this city?
