Bobby Jones, L.A. Homicide No. 50: Man Fatally Shot in Chest After Fight

• I continue to advocate to abolish the mayor's failed 'anti-gang' program which receives tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, which could be used to hire additional officers. The ideal number is 12,000 strong to suppress the out-of-control graffiti and gangs which terrorize  neighborhoods.  Some of these intervention gang programs take place at City parks providing such things as bingo, arts and craft, and some parent and children participation functions, And it's part time, while the gangs run unchecked terrorizing the neighborhood.  The park center is already funded through taxes.  One gang intervention contractor rents a vacant Fire Station for $1 per year for ten years.  So, where do the tens of millions go?  Good kids and adults attend the Gilliam Park center up the street from Palmwood Dr.  Most of the criminal gang activty takes place away from the park.  Gang members hide from any kind of authority.  With all this money, why hasn't 'Antonio's" 'anti-gang' staff stopped the criminal activity?  I myself was within feet, of four gun shots a couple of weeks ago.  These residents want more police officers.

• "Fattaly," huh? Copy editors are x-pensive.
