Not any more. People are out of control, and the NRA looks the other way. The NRA is full of bs when it says that guns don't kill people, and people kill people. The fact is that people use guns to kill other people. Tell your leaders that you do NOT want guns in society! The next death may be yours. Don't believe me? Just look at your town or city. Enough said. I am, George Vreeland Hill Guns do not belong in society.

My grand-parents lived in Compton (in the Willowbrook district) in the immediate, post-war years (they came to CA from KS after the Dust Bowl). I can remember sitting on the porch watching the Red-cars go back and forth to Long Beach. They commented how, just in the few years they had been there, how Willowbrook was changing: How the Hispanics were being slowly pushed out by the Blacks pushing south from Watts. Now, when I drive past their old house, the neighborhood is almost entirely Hispanic as the Blacks have all moved out. Compton itself, in the 1940's, was still a mostly, White, working-class city with a vibrant shopping district centered on a very large Sears. The last time a White represented Compton in Congress (early 60's), he was a Republican. Has the LAT under-reported the crime problem? We, who live here, know they do. The question though, is this a crime of ommission, or comission? Are they trying to cover Tony Villar's backside, or are they just blind to the reality that they are keeping from their readership? I think their venality stinks! And just how much of this “middle-class, liberal guilt” is just (insert German word I can’t spell here that means “There but for the Grace of God, go I)?

Here are three of my favorite newspaper quotes: “Newspapers are unable, seemingly, to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilization.” - George Bernard Shaw “Don't worry over what the newspapers say. I don't. Why should anyone else? I told the truth to the newspaper correspondents - but when you tell the truth to them they are at sea.” - William Howard Taft “Putting out a newspaper without promotion is like winking at a girl in the dark -- well-intentioned, but ineffective.” - William Randolph Hearst Fuhgeddabowdit, newspapers are just a product for sale after all.

It's not racism, it's not middle class guilt. These events aren't "new" so they aren't "news." The news would be when these things stop. But don't expect the paper to report it when this kind of stuff stops, either. Not because of racism or guilt. Because something <i>not</i> happening is not news worthy, generally. If the sun don't rise, that'll be news. It’s simple. It’s not racism, it’s not middle class guilt. These events aren’t “new” so they aren’t “news.” The news would be when these things stop.

When someone is murdered in a middle class suburb, where there are almost never any murders, it is "news." When someone is murdered in the inner-city, where murders occur regularly, it is not considered news. In the moderate sized city I live in, the local media cover all of the murders in the poorer areas, and there are a lot (per capita, one of the highest murder rates in NY). The local media usually also do follow-ups of the murders (i.e., stories of funerals, stories of the criminal case if a perp is arrested, etc.). In a huge city like L.A., however, there probably is simply too much crime in these areas to cover regularly and consider "news".
