Skip, it sounds like a war zone! I think Viglarossa and Gonzalez need their heads examined. It's caused by ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND SPECIAL ORDER 40.


THEIR KIDDING THEMSELVES IF THEY THINK THEY CAN CONTROL THIS WITHOUT DEPORTING. They'll lock up a few, but 100 more illegal criminals will pull into town from across the border!!

Cops Need Public's Help To Solve Teen Killing
(CBS) VAN NUYS, Calif. Authorities sought the public's help Wednesday to solve the killing of an 18-year-old man who was gunned down as he stood on a Van Nuys sidewalk with his younger brother.

Juan Carlos Morales of Van Nuys was shot in the chest about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday near Woodman Avenue and Hartland Street, the Los Angeles Police Department reported. He died at a hospital. The brother apparently was unhurt.

Morales and his brother were standing on the sidewalk when a white SUV pulled up alongside them and, "after a brief argument," someone in the vehicle opened fire, the LAPD reported.

Investigators said the shooting was believed to be gang related.

Man held in slashing death at strip club

Los Angeles police detectives have arrested an Encino man on suspicion of fatally slashing the throat of another patron at a Canoga Park strip club Monday night.

Zachary Todd Balonick was booked Tuesday in connection with the death of Jose Omar Montalvo Jr.

Police said Montalvo was seated in the Xposed club talking to a dancer about 8:30 p.m. when he was allegedly attacked by Balonick.

"He walks up behind this guy and cut his throat. There was no conversation between the two of them. He just suddenly jumped up with a knife and attacked," said Det. Rick Swanston of the West Valley Division homicide unit. The motive remains unclear, Swanston said.

Montalvo died of his injuries at a Northridge hospital.

Police said Balonick left the club immediately after the attack and drove off in a late model Audi. Detectives were able to identify the assailant because those entering the club are required to present identification and have it scanned, Swanston said. Witnesses also knew his first name from his previous visits to the club.

Swanston said Balonick was arrested at his Encino home without incident. He is being held without bail pending charges and arraignment.

Just bus them up to the San Fernando Valley, just north of Los Angeles, and drop them off for a few days. If they come back alive, then I am sure that they will really learn the dangers of gang life. Right now in a small area of the San Fernando Valley they are averaging over 1 gang related murder every week, and it is not even summer time yet. I have read some stories where they quote that the average life expectancy of a hard-core gang member is 30 years old."
