LOS ANGELES – A 23-year-old Palmdale man suffered severe injuries after he was intentionally run down by a car following an argument and group fight at a Los Angeles supermarket, authorities said.
Jesse Alvarez was one of two people hit late Sunday night when the driver of a Honda Accord accelerated his vehicle and drove directly into a group of men leaving the Food-For-Less market, according to a news release from the Los Angeles Police Department. Read it below:
On June 8, 2014, at around 11:25 p.m., a verbal argument ensued between a group of men inside the Food-For-Less market, located at 4910 Huntington Drive South in the City of Los Angeles.
This argument escalated into a physical altercation that was witnessed by a security guard who ordered two of the men out of the market.
When the two men exited the marked, they entered an unidentified silver Honda Accord, drove to an area of the parking lot, turned off their head lights and waited for the five men who they had just engaged in a physical altercation to exit the market.
As the men exited the market, the driver of the Honda Accord immediately accelerated his vehicle and intentionally drove in the direction of the men resulting in his vehicle colliding with two of them.
The driver of the Honda immediately fled the scene of the incident in an unknown direction.
The two pedestrians, twenty-three year old Arturo Rueles, a resident of Los Angeles, and twenty-three year old Jesse Alvarez, a resident of Palmdale, were transported to a local hospital with severe injuries.

What good is losing your privacy rights to flooding the streets with cctv’s? The crime will still be committed. The police can’t un-mug you, un-murder you or un-rape you. Society is broken, morals are gone. A unified country has been replaced. No education, no job skills no problem we’re in America now and entitled to government aid, health care, food , phones and rent vouchers.

To identify these scum bag no good cowards. America needs to flood its streets with CCTV. Like the little island called the United Kingdom as done you commit a crime there there’s a very good chance that you will be caught by the CCTV.
