I just want to say, that it...This is very sad.<br /><br /><br />I just want to say, that it's a shame so many people bash conservative principles, and Long Beach has become such a "liberal" city.<br /><br />You see so many senseless and uncaring things go on, that it unfortunately becomes the norm, and no one has any answers.<br /><br />I'm sorry, but I DO have some answers!!<br /><br />Start holding people responsible for their own lives, stop treating everyone like a victim, stop vilifying the people who work to achieve, stop attacking family values, etc...........<br /><br /><br />I'm not saying you have to become a born-again Christian, but isn't there a reason why people want to move to "lily white neighborhoods"?<br /><br />Could it possibly be, that it's a lot nicer, warmer, and safer to live around white conservatives?<br /><br />If so, maybe we should stop bashing them, and maybe take a page or two from their book.Mike in LBCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140004705538204727.post-22899878805028070702009-10-25T23:25:11.158-07:002009-10-25T23:25:11.158-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06646128216353450459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140004705538204727.post-71783363750513894562009-10-23T08:17:06.318-07:002009-10-23T08:17:06.318-07:00You could cut and paste, and repeat this story eve...You could cut and paste, and repeat this story every month in Long Beach. As long as there is a gang culture thriving and kids glorifying the lifestyle, these stories will continue. Kids having kids does not help either. This kid was just 18 and already had a kid himslef. Break this cycle and you have the first step in the progress of heading off the gang element. I am not saying that this kid was a gangbanger(one can only speculate given the outcome), but many gangbangers come from illegitimacy and teenage mothers. This is the legacy that our system has left us. The unemployment situation will only worsen the matter.I truly cry for Long Beach as I see so much potential for the city that is unrealized. It's really like no other large city in So Calif. Any faint glimmer of hope is usually and quickly put out by these types of incidents. Long Beach will always be in my prayers and is truly in my heart. I am on the fence about moving back there as the safety of South Orange County appeals to me more and more in spite of it's lack of diversity. I guess you have to pick one or the other and diversity has it's downside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
