Los Angeles County Homicides Blog - Aircraft of World War II

syscom3 · 07-29-2007, 03:15 AM

This is one interesting blog I found on the LA Times.

Someone is actually taking the time to take the weekly LA County Coroners homicide report and mapping the victims to an address where they died, as well as trying to get pictures and stories of the victims.

Los Angeles Times: The Homicide Blog

So many gang killings...... and many of them at night time. Somehow, I suspect that anyone who is up at 2:00AM loitering in the streets with "friends" or sitting in a car, is up to no good.

Pretty wild - LA and LA County seems to be a war zone.

Thats cheered me up I was thinking of going there next year to see the Camarillo air show and take in some sights, but I had something else in mind rather than turf war shoot outs.

The main reason why I choose to never live in a big city and why I have no desire to go to the **** hole of LA.

You don't have to stay in LA county, Lee. Besides that, Camarillo is in Ventura County. I'm sure Joe can tell you, there are parts of LA that are ok and there are parts that you definitely avoid. The good news is that you have someone here that can tell you the places to avoid to stay away from that crap.

While Camarillo is a nice show and I am sure you would enjoy it, Chino is the show not to miss, in May.

Read a letter to the editor from a Phila cop in the Phila Inquirer a little ways back. He said every Monday morning, he and the local police agencies would get together and discuss the shootings. Couple of things of note. Usually, the same names came up again and again. And most of these guys were shot multiple times.

Just a little FYI.

I feel the same way. When I get transferred to MCAS New River in a couple months, I want a house in the middle of nowhere. I don't even want neighbors.

A majority of murders occur in a just a few zip codes, and usually its after midnight.

Trackend, you have to put things in perspective.....LA County is almost as big as southern England.

FLYBOYJ · 07-29-2007, 12:26 PM

Sys and Eric both have it right - a lot of the crime is limited to specific areas. Camarillo, Ventura, Irvine and Tustin (to name a few) are nice. The key is to stay away from the places shown on that report, especially at night. Also I would be very non-confrontational on the roads as there too has been numerous road rage shootings. In my old neck of the woods, Highway 138 was being widened. People were so enraged over the delays due to the construction they began taking pot shots at the workers. Cal Trans just closed the whole highway until it is completed.

What kills me is the reaction to the Police. There's bitchin when they pull someone over for broken tailgates (as in one of the blogs) and then scream when they're not there to stop the murders. Its crazy!

Philly is getting bad in places. On pace to record the most murders in a decade. Very select areas I go to anymore.

I hate to say this as I'm in no way a racists but its a culture of violence that they feed upon. The neighborhood pushes that you don't snitch and when something happens, they clam up. And then complain the Police aren't doing anything. You should hear the cries in the Philadelphia Mayor's race where one of the canidates suggested "Stop and Frisk". What an uproar.

I work with alot of Police and they're frustrated with how they're percieved and cautious when doing their job. Doesn't help reduce crime.

You can thank hip-hop culture for perpetuating that kind of behavoir. How many of those songs or rappers promote opportunities to go to school, get a good education, work hard, save, and make a better life for you and your children???

Im sure your right Eric problem is I'm not to sure if I can escape work at that time next year however I shall take your advice and see if I can wangle it

evangilder · 07-29-2007, 11:37 PM

Hmmm, maybe tell the boss that the Chino show is a "mental health" break.

trackend · 07-30-2007, 02:11 AM

I'd stand more chance if I told him I was just mental period (no agreeing with that please Eric

)
