Quiet on Monrovia streets
An interesting article today from Star-News reporter Molly Okeon about the Monrovia/Duarte Gang Task Force. She points out that no gang-related killings have occurred since Jan. 29, and at least 86 people have been arrested as a result of the recent police crackdown.

The Duarte Sheriff stopped by the Route 66 bar in Duarte last night (Fri), and arrested a few gang members who were in the bar playing pool. I am expecting the gang members to start crying about being harrased by the cops. But I for one, am glad for all the extra cops stopping anybody who looks suspicious. I am more concerned that people don't get shot on the street that the civil-rights of murderous gang members.
