wouldn't it help members of neighboring communities if we knew which gang was responsible for the attack? this would allow parents to be extra vigilant with regards to their teenagers safety. If I lived in a rival neighborhood, I would be concerned about wreckless retaliation.
Its possible that there will be retaliation. Baldwin Park High School was locked down yesterday and there will be extra security at their football game today.
but why would there be retaliation at the school he attended? wouldnt it occur elsewhere, in a different neighborhood? seems backwards to me. can somebody map out the baldwin park gang territories so we no where we are going into?
that seems like a good idea the school must know if different gangs are there there's at least two in BP
