LAST UPDATED: August 2, 2008, 5:00 PM (Added link to OCR for gang attack story)YET ANOTHER LATINO GANG ATTACK IN COSTA MESA! (stock photo)
Here's the LINK to the story in the almost-daily Daily Pilot about a Latino gang attack at the 7-11 on Harbor and Mesa Verde Drive East at around 1 AM this morning, Saturday, August 2, 2008,(that's across from the fenced lot where Kona Lanes used to stand).
One of the victims required surgery. All three suspects were arrested later in the morning. Two of the suspects were arrested at a residence on Maple Street.
UPDATE: August 2, 2008, 5:00PM--HERE'S A LINK TO THE OC REGISTER REPORT ABOUT THE ABOVE. The OCR has a better system of allowing comments than does the almost-daily Daily Pilot.

STILL NO ARRESTS IN SHOOTING OF 15-YEAR OLD GIRL IN SHALIMAR SLUM
# # #
MEANWHILE...
There are still no newspaper or police reports that some white guys grabbed a Latino out of his car and beat him as alleged by a couple of bloggers who want you to think that violent street crime is an equal opportunity employer.

THE COLOR OF CRIME
Can you stand the truth about violent crime?
Here's a LINK where you can download The Color of Crime for free. This book isn't opinion. It's fact. It is based on FBI statistics.
Here are just a few facts you'll read:
--Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
--Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
--Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
Knowing the truth can help protect you and your family.

WHEN YOU VOTE THIS YEAR, VOTE FOR IMPROVEMENT CANDIDATES WHO WILL WORK TO RID THIS CITY OF VIOLENT GANGS.
How many more violent gang attacks and how much more violent crime do you need to read about to know that Costa Mesa has a serious problem and that Katrina Foley's approach of planting flowers in front of the slums isn't working?
It's time for some law and order in Costa Mesa; not more squishy yuppie liberal hugathons.
And, as we've said many times before, it's also time to start thinning out the slums. It doesn't take a genius to understand that if the habitats of gangs are removed, the gangs will move to more welcoming habitats in some other city.
All living things gravitate to where they feel comfortable. There are no exceptions. None.
