Sonof Muralist 11/05/2010 3:55:00 AM
My father painted that mural and i can remember helping him varnishing it as a kid. His work reflects a time gone bye, a time in his life when youngsters dressed up had pride not down like today the thugs in under garments and tattoos. Nothing on that mural that represents the ills of these small time gang members"The bald heads" the one whom perpetrate genocide on there own brethren. However I do not share Yvonne Elizondo politics. During the 80's the gangs became dangerous that Orange created a task force to root out the fatherless criminal because stray bullets were flying. I am out raged that Yvonne and the ACLU would try to pay for my dad to testify. Don't believe what you hear from these Mexican centrist activist. There is very little OG peoples from that hood.Someone needs to write a balanced story about this situation. I think there is a shakedown via the ACLU.

Ed Harrison, you are %100 right. Screw these people! I am Mexican-American and I get harassed all the time but I don't mind. The reason all these people are complaining is because they are up to no good. I, for one, am glad I have to deal with the harassment because I know that the enemies of civilization and peace are being thrown into the trash bin where they belong. To all the peace officers out there who read this, keep up the good work. God speed, god speed.

WE HAVE THE GANG INJUNCTION HERE IN SAN MARCOS, CA. It is a great thing, I believe the government should go one step further and issue gang hunting permits, that allows any citizen the right to shoot on sight these little scumbags in our communities.

Protesting against a gang injunction? Ridiculous. Go cry me a river. What a waste of time. Why even write an article about it? You people are savages, that's why you are getting slapped with this injunction. If you were decent citizens that contributed to society, this would not happen to you.

I have spoken to residents affected by the injunction in SJC. Not gang members, but hard working people, who have been included in the injunction for having a relative who IS a gang member (just one of the many examples of how truly innocent people get caught up in this). Cousins who can't talk to one another, even though neither is a gang member. This injunction in SJC IS a nightmare for the residents IN Las Villas and other predominantly Latino neighborhoods in SJC.
Make no mistake, the more affluent (dare I say, predominantly Non-Latino?)neighborhoods love the injunction, "Daffy's dumb" from OC. You know why? They don't want Latinos living in "their" quant little SJC. San JUAN Capistrano. NOT Saint John, mind you.
Were you there, at the City Council meeting last year, when the renewal for the Family Resource Center CHEC was discussed? No? Let me tell you. No, let me enlighten you. Some of the things some residents said would've made Jesus Christ himself angry. Mothers complaining that they were afraid of allowing their children walk along side Latino mothers walking with THEIR brown children. Nothing to do with the Family Resource Center (FRC). They just wanted to complain that there are "too many Latinos (I decided to use a more PC term that was used by them) in SJC". The meeting was about the FRC, not about illegal immigration, as so many of the opposition tried to impose onto the council's discussion. Didn't help their cause that Gilchrist was there in person.
I dare you to take a walk INSIDE the neighborhoods included in the injunction in SJC, talk to the people there. Ask THEM how the injunction was served, how accessible legal counsel was made available to them (isn't this country's legal system BASED on Innocent BEFORE proven Guilty?) You can respond to my comment AFTER you've done your homework. Correctly this time. Because I don't know who you spoke with that claim this injunction is pure heaven to them, but I sure know you didn't talk to anyone inside the neighborhoods included in the injunction.

Notice how the Sophomore in high school had previous convictions, but that was "when he was younger"... as if it was so long ago.

It is not fair what the DA's office tried to accomplish in the city of Orange. If they had valid proof, then why didn't they go ahead and come fourth with it. Because they knew that it was not going to hold up in court. Thankfully things went the way that they did and most of the cases were dismissed.

CHS 05/30/2009 12:13:00 AM
If these gang members are criminals, then why not just arrest them for the crimes they've committed? Oh, I almost forgot...these gang injunctions make the DA and the cops look like they're fighting crime.

I applaud Daffy for her non-biased, anti-crime article. Nothing makes more upset than when communities try to fight the gangs members that take their neighborhood hostage.
We need to be more like LA and see gang members as "victims" and allow them to conduct their business like any other hard working American.
And the cops MUST be racist because it seems that every gang member they arrest is Mexican, errr "Latino".
"LA RAZA", eh Daffy?

To the commenter above - I've spoken with a handful of the kids who have been arrested and they are NOT gang members, not even close....so opposite that its laughable...so YES they are heroes for trying to fight for justice to clear the name of these kids whose permanent records shouldn't be tainted by racist policies.
Gang injunctions are not heaven for the neighborhoods, because the people who live in the neighborhoods are PART of the injunctions. The affluent people you speak of who are for the injunctions live miles away from any of these neighborhoods. I'd suggest some people take half as much time as Daffodil did to research/actually talk to the people who are directly involved, and not just rely on hearsay from affluent communities, like the commenter above is suggesting.

Daffy's dumb 05/29/2009 10:35:00 AM
Seriously Daffy, you've got to write a novel. Way to play up the drama, but are SURE the heroes of your story are really heroes? Do you believe everything they tell you? By the way, the horrors of the SJC injunction are pure heaven to the residents, or so I've heard. You might want to speak to more than a few gang members before putting your stories to bed.

Boy stabbed twice during confrontation with rival gang
Six people were arrested following the stabbing in Orange, police said.

The Orange County Register
Comments 82 | Recommend 3
ORANGE � A boy was stabbed twice during a confrontation with a rival gang, police said.
The attack occurred at 3:41 p.m. when the juvenile was walking north on Glassell Street at Everett Place and was confronted by a group of rival gang members, said Orange police Sgt. Dan Adams.
Based on the investigation, three juveniles got out of a car and confronted the victim who was then kicked, punched and stabbed in the arm and back Friday, Adams said.
The victim, whose identity is not being revealed because he is a minor, was taken to a hospital, treated for his injuries and released Friday night.
The three suspects were arrested Friday evening a short distance from where the attack occurred. Three others who waited in the vehicle during the attack were later arrested. All of the suspects are minors, except for 19-year-old Galdino Derosas, who is being held at the Orange County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder. He is being held on $500,000 bail.
The juveniles were taken to the Orange County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of attempted murder.
The victim and the suspects are part of two rival gangs that each have a court injunction against them. The injunctions curtail activity of members, forbidding them to loiter or associate with each other, wear gang-affiliated clothes or stay out past a court-ordered curfew.

Umm, great reporting, Daffy. Viva la causa and all that.
