Around 1980, in this same neighborhood, a cop was hit in the eye with a rock. Law enforcement agencies were called in from the surrounding area and the neighborhood shut off while cops went door to door and beat people with sticks. Very poor area, with no plumbing until the 1970s, and pavement came well into the 1980s.
I'm not sure what your point is Grey, I take it this is a notorious, drug/gang infested area, in California?
I doubt if the police would be fucking with this trash if they weren't doing something illegal. In the name of "freeedom" are we suppose to let these people do what they want, please correct me if i'm wrong.
cheers
It is an old, 'established' gang neighborhood. Goes back 60 or 70 years. Back in the 1970s they were at war with my neighborhood, and that (and the Chino/Pomona war) spawned federal and state investigations. I haven't lived there for years, but I know the violence has gone down, that this 'varrio' has been essentially paved over, and that there is drug dealing going on there.
My point is this: Once we make it ok for the government to tell certain people that they cannot do legal things (for example, associate with people that they have known for four generations, or go out after 10pm, or hang out in front of their homes), then we are all screwed. They want to ban Cuca Kings from doing these things..,.why not Libertarians, or whatever? We live in a society that functions on legal precedent and once it becomes ok to do this, we are all at risk.
This is primarily vengeance for something that happened in 1980, when a sheriff had his eye damaged by a rock thrown at him. At that time, the neighborhood was sealed off for two days and a GANG of cops went door to door and beat women and children and dragged every male off to jail. This type of thing is not uncommon. Happened in the Casa Blanca neighborhood of Riverside as well, back in the late 1970s.
