I come from Vietnam 5 year ago move here with brother and his family to Palmdale. I have no racist against nobody I read local news many time to help improvement my English and i see what going on in my community so much people fight and angry. Why? Black or white my experience with America is bad people in all people including my home country Also very good people in all people black or white or brown or other kind of color. Maybe be angry at law breaker in every race but please no angry at entire race.

There’s racism in every human race and Corruption and Evil has nothing to do with the white black or brown has to do with sin
Jo says
NOT A SKIN ISSUE. ITS A SIN ISSUE.
Stuuupid! says
Yeah sure. That’s cute. Keep telling yourself that.
Betty-Jo says
Who was the witness? How was it determined it was 3 “black” subjects? Oh that’s right, it’s the racist AV with the KKK sheriffs department
Kree says

Just a couple of you boys having a little fun. But seriously. We need RoboCop. Or Judge Dredd. This is why we need SUPER strict laws on crime. Give the police WAY more power on the street. There needs to be CONSEQUENCES to the actions you do. And eye for an eye.
Jesus da millenial says
WOW! the 13% doing what they do best. SMH
Latino for Trump 2020!
Latinos R Racist Too says
Ignorant racist Latino.
Human race says
In that 13% African American population I give a shout out to doctors, police officers, veterans, nurses, engineers, poets, aerospace workers, pilots, and many others in the 13% of African Americans that contribute in America.
Citizens' Rights Watch says
Yeah, check out the percentage of blacks in prison, jail, probation, etc. 52% of all murders? 72% born out of wedlock without fathers. Just freakin wonderful!
Zak says
A rash of blacks attacking innocent Latino men and over the past week and the blacks are claiming racism for naming them as the offenders lmao. Unreal. Seems we are finding out who is causing the problems in this country, a small minority of people….oh say 13%
Ron says
These are the ones cops need to shoot.
carly says
Exactly!
Ron says
The white supremacist in The AV should be shot by cops too instead of being part of the force.
Ron says
Maybe the 13% should learn how to behave. Cops are not the problem. Certain people cant seem to comply or listen or obey laws.
Ron says
Just think we could have picked our own cotton and not have these problems.
DeAndre says
It was a misunderstanding.
carly says
Exactly!
surfside 6 says
Well come on liberals! Ban something!!!
Laughing says
I shall reply to you dumb comment…
Assault is already against the law. Thus it is kinda banned.
Tyrone says
My goodness, here we go again! Media and law enforcement saying its 3 African American Suspects that committed this murder. Why is the media and law enforcement automatically assuming this was committed by African American males? It could have been very tan from sunbathing Caucasians that did this crime or even Latino Americans that also was recently sunbathing poolside that did this..
come on people!! BLM
John says
Nice letting us know the ethnicity of the attackers and not the victim! What kind of crap is that? Was it black on white or black on black? Shouldn’t leave such information out of the story.
Jojo says
blacks scream about racism directed them nonstop but crickets when two different incidents in two days of blacks attacking and assaulting Latino men. One man was murdered and an 82 year old beaten in a bathroom. If a Latino or White man did this to a black, the media would be going nuts.
