Have you seen this man?
As I think anyone with access to a TV or a newspaper is aware of, there's a major focus on gang activity in Los Angeles going on at the moment. Right now there's a three day summit going on to find new solutions to address the problem. The most concrete thing to come out of this for those of us in the Harbor Area is the attention that's being given to the 204th St. Gang in Harbor City, who have made the top 10 list for gangs to be targeted, largely because of the race motivated conflict that they've brought to their own neighborhood.
The LAPD has put out a list of their 10 most wanted gang members, which includes Mario Lemus, a.k.a. "Drek" (which means "Shit" in Yiddish, FYI), who's associated with Rancho San Pedro (side note - some googling dug up this blog post of San Pedro gang tags), and wanted for the October 15 murder of David Carl Franklin, who was beaten to death on the street.
Anyone with information on Lemus is urged to contact Harbor Area Homicide Detective at 310-522-2036. On weekends and during off-hours, call the 24-hour toll free number at 1-877-LAWFULL (1-877-529-3855).

That guy just looks scary, hope they catch him soon!
His name recalls a junkie ex-next door neighbor of mine who was known as "Dirt". Ahh, Pedro.
Maybe he is the real father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby.
Noticed that the link for gang tags goes to a site that refers to this graffiti as "art." What a load of crap!
yes, a lot of it was talentless tagging crap, but if you look further down the blog, there are actual pics of artistic drawings.
The mayor's gang plan released this past week is weak, more PR hogwash than substance. In a (insert number of years here), we'll be talking about the same thing, only the gang thugs will be greater in number while the current crop of elected hacks will have moved onto other offices. They have failed us again.
Man I miss the days of Jim Hahn and his gang injunctions. As unconstitutional as it is (forbidding people simply dressed one way from going such and such place) it sure cleaned up the streets.
And the trains always ran on time!
