245(a)(2)
okay, I cant believe no one has commented on this one yet. I heard the choppers up around 8 this morning and did a ho hummm. Isn't this one block west of Monrovia High? Seeing that it occured in Arcadia, but the border is thereafter around 5th ave. Was it possibly high school students involved in an altercation? But I guess with no victim, not much can be done. Our problems are leaking outward not leaving.
100 block is near the in-n-out.
i wrote yesterday but i do not see my comment online. i wonted to know if the young girl that was with sammantha came out of her coma, and reported that it was not blacks but latinos that did the shooting,and if this is true then why is it not in the paper and on the news what are the police and the news trying to hide....this upsets me gravely people have the right to know the truth if this is the truth..
Upset Citaen, I have heard the same thing but I have been unable to get an answer about it.
One thing should be done is when they arrest people they should do like they do back East... They put their name,age,address and the crime they have committed for the world to see in the local paper. California should do the same and then lets see how well these little punks like it when everyone knows their informatio.
