Latino Gang Targeted Blacks, U.S. Says
8th June 2011
Members of a Latino gang affiliated with the Mexican Mafia conspired for nearly 20 years to drive African-Americans out of the Southern California city of Azusa through violence and intimidation, federal authorities alleged Tuesday.
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
I’ll bet they belong to ‘La Raza’.
“The Azusa 13 gang waged a campaign of hate during a two-decade crime spree in which African-Americans were harassed and attacked,” U.S. Attorney André Birotte Jr. said in a written statement Tuesday. “We hope that this federal case will signal the end of this racist behavior and will help vindicate all of the victims who have suffered over the years.”
I’m curious as to why it took so long.

Hmmmm. The interesting part – if you read this at face value – is that they ONLY intimidated blacks. Really?! My guess is that this gang is exactly like every other gang ever formed and intimidated anyone that could remotely be considered a rival.
But the GOVERNMENT was upset when they found out BLACKS were intimidated. Ooooooh! That’s a no-no!
I would have been much, much happier to find the government getting mad because it was a f*ing GANG and was breaking the law!

Victims don’t need to be “vindicated”; criminals need to be arrested.
