MORE GANG GRAFFITI=MORE GANG PROBLEMSThe CM PRESS is receiving messages from many activists, mainly on the Westside, but not only from that part of the city, about more gang graffiti that seems to be popping up.
Unfortunately, some on the City Council seem to consider the graffiti itself to be the problem as though we live in a Disneyesque world and the graffiti is sentient and just put itself on walls. Their attitude is to cover it up as quickly as possible and pretend we don't have a gang problem that the Council is not adequately addressing.
Hey City Council, the problem is the people who put the graffiti on the walls. And many of these people are gang members. The graffiti is only a symptom. It is not the disease.
Rid the city of the gangs and the graffiti will go away.
To those who have asked the CM PRESS if the gang detail is doing the job it should be doing or if it is still laboring under the delusion that Costa Mesa has a white gang problem, we can only say that we don't know
We know that liberal mindsets are very resistant to change and they are sometimes reinforced by liberal newspapers which hide the race/ethnicity of violent criminals except when they're white and then emphasize the race of criminals when they are white. This causes some with the liberal mindset to be blind to the truth. To them, the Earth is still flat.

ANOTHER BROWN RACIST TERM FOR WHITE PEOPLE
Here's your urban dictionary word for today. If you hear brown racists using this word, they're not being friendly toward you.
Bolillo
The term "bolillo" is a very racist term used throughout certain Latin American speaking countries to describe a white person. The word “bolillo” is almost always negative, implying that the person described is a small little white bread roll.

STILL NO ARRESTS IN PAINT BALL ATTACK
As far as we know, there are still no arrests in the paint ball attack on a homeless man.
As you may remember, the attack either occurred in a gang infested alley behind Vista Center near 19th Street and Placentia or at Lions Park.
Maybe the problem is that the gang detail is trying to find white attackers and they're not white.
Maybe the gang detail should be looking for suspects in the Shalimar slum and in the slum on Center Street behind Vista Center. Just a thought.
Of course, as we wrote before, the suspects could be whites; maybe even fraternity types (from Harvard?), who just thought it would be fun to commute to the worst part of Costa Mesa on one of the darkest nights of the year and roam the dangerous alleys and parks looking for people to shoot with their paint ball guns (which are usually about the size of a small rifle and are difficult to conceal, especially if there are several of you carrying them) and no one saw them as they were roaming about looking for victims.
It seems more probable, however, that turf sensitive Latino gang types who live in that area and who hang out in the alleys and the park just took a few steps from their apartments, shot the guy, and stepped back inside their nearby apartments. This scenario seems to cover more bases than the other one does it not?
Naturally, probabilities don't prove anything, so we'll just have to wait until the CMPD makes some arrests to know exactly who shot the guy.
We will say again, though, that we're surprised that the CMPD hasn't made any arrests yet.
