Diaz mother publicly denied he was in a gang.

Something is wrong with that photo, those are all "sporting" and hunting guns.

I can walk anywhere in the city of Anaheim without fear(except for the cops) - don't make characterizations about a city that you know only from news reports.

Well everyone is entitle to an opinion. So you say the city is safe..then again who are you ?
You might be a gang member yourself or Latino activist.

The police say they have registered 35 gangs in that city. That's a fair number.

I can already see you have a view that the cops are the bad guys here, not the gangs.

Most of the white residents live on the east side of town, mainly in the Anaheim Hills area, although some less affluent are to be found in all areas of the city, including long time home owners that have been in their homes for decades and are not moving. There is a Middle East neighborhood roughly located along Brookhurst from around Ball north about to the freeway. Some Asian residents and old line Hispanics also in Anaheim Hills.

I'm curious as to how you know the immigrant status of all those people living in central and western Anaheim?

Its not like they walk around wearing a sign that says "illegal".
