Montebello: January 2008 Archives

This comment comes from Berta who added her two cents to More Monrovia Madness

Here we have kids, killing other kids continuing a vicious cycle that more often than not was a normal part of the environment in which they were raised. The values for respect of life was never passed on to them and before maturity could offer some hope the drugs, the money and the need to feel "a part of" got them caught up in the 'gang' mentality of FAMILY...

The LEADERS of the family turned the other way and "THEY" are you and I, the community, our representatives and our Law enforcers.. Those that "represent" our community are only as STRONG or as WEAK as you and I--WE put them in office and WE are the only ones that can DEMAND change. And yet, I have seen when Law enforcement puts a "heavy" hand into the public, there'll always be statements that one group is being WATCHED more than the OTHER. Tell, me, when do we get OFF that crap and stop this cycle? There's a whole generation being wiped out. I just don't get this race war other than the bully mentality when a lost soul is in need of anything to feel better about his or her self...**Just my thoughts

I found this advertisement in an old community newspaper that was lying around the Whitttier Daily News. This ad ran in late 1987.

I like the AK-47 with folding stock.

Reporter Fred Ortega said the M-11 was his favorite.
