CM PRESS # 216

DAILY PILOT STORY ON THE STABBINGS ON ANAHEIM--WESTSIDE

The CM PRESS became politically active in Costa Mesa several years ago because of a gang attack on a couple of White kids walking home from Costa Mesa High School.  The non-White gang attacked the White kids with sticks and rocks and a firearm of some type (it misfired).  They yelled anti-White hate terms at the kids.

When the police were called, they tried to censor the report given to them about the anti-White hate terms.

After that incident, the CM PRESS started attending City Council meetings and speaking out against gangs and the deterioration of Costa Mesa.

What was the reaction from the Council back then?  The Council actually denied there were gangs in the City.  We kid you not.  In fact, certain of the Council members tried to dismiss our claims by saying that the alleged gang members were really just kids trying to look like gang members.

After that, the CM PRESS started making fun of the Council by calling gang members fashion models. Then, every time there was another gang attack, we would write something about how fashion models attacked some people at such and such a place.

Fast forward. Now, we know that there are 7 Latino gangs in Costa Mesa and we now have a police gang detail (which we didn't have when the CM PRESS first got active).  However, the present Council still doesn't get it. [Quick aside: A few years ago, the CMPD under different leadership back then actually tried to hide the fact that ALL the gangs in Costa Mesa (seven gangs) are Latino.]

The gangs are going to grow, the violent crime is going to increase, and White citizens are going to flee Costa Mesa unless the Council starts draining the swamp to cause the gang members to up and move to cities where they are more comfortable.

For those who are new readers, "draining the swamp," simply means thinning out the slums in the City by buying them up, tearing them down, and putting in parking lots or pocket parks.

Now, when the CM PRESS constantly brings up this draining the swamp notion, certain of the Council members condescendingly tell us that the City doesn't have the money to do this.

In fact, the City does have the money, but the Council keeps wasting it on things that are not essential.

For example, at tomorrow night's City Council meeting, staff will ask the Council to buy 435 new desk top computers at a cost of  $358,110, to replace computers that are working just fine.  At a recent meeting the Council bought  five new police cars at a cost of $293,323.70 and six new Honda police motorcycles at a cost of $163,897.32 to replace perfectly fine police cars and motorcycles.  And, also at a recent meeting, the Council authorized spending $ 80,000 to have an architect come up with ideas on changing the look of City Hall's lobby.  No, that $80,000 isn't to actually change things, but just to come up with ideas for changing things. The Council has also authorized the hiring of 20 new police officers.

This kind of spending goes on all the time.

What the Council should be doing is saving the money it is spending on unnecessary things and using that to buy up the slums.

Unless the Council smartens up, Costa Mesa is going to become a new Santa Ana with almost nightly stabbings and shootings and with schools that are at slum city levels.

And, speaking of the schools, many upwardly mobile White parents have pulled their kids out of Costa Mesa schools and put them in schools where the demographics are more suitable.  In fact, one School Board member who lives in Costa Mesa and who represents a large part of Costa Mesa on the board, has pulled her kids out of Costa Mesa schools (which are within easy walking distance of her Costa Mesa home), and put them in Newport Beach schools.

We're not going to be able to hire enough cops to handle the crime and social problems in Costa Mesa, unless we get proactive and remove the habitats for criminals--the slums.

Folks, there are some universal laws of nature and we say that one of these universal laws is that all living organisms (including humans) will gravitate to areas where they feel comfortable.

We have violent gangs in Costa Mesa because we have slums where they feel comfortable. Remove the slums, and like alligators who have had their swamp drained, they will leave the area.

C'mon Costa Mesa City Council, drain the swamps in Costa Mesa.
