This was literally 2 streets away from our house!! We live in a nice, quiet subdivision- good, hard working middle class folks, in new houses. Frankly, this scares the crap out of me! It just goes to show that gangs aren't confined to inner city or lower income neighborhoods. It really is time to start cracking down on gangs, and stop the revolving door at the jails!!
I agree - crime can happen anywhere - but wasn't this guy just hiding out - he didn't actually LIVE there, right? (I am not sure what "hiding out" means as used in this article . . . did he take someone hostage and hide out in their house . . . or was he laying low w/ a friend - the article didn't make that clear).
A lot of what can/will happen to these gangs is ultimately up to "us" the people. We need to be heard---we need to let our officials know how we feel. I get frusterated too as I'm sure many of you do----do we really get heard? All we can do it try!! Make some calls, write some emails and letters. It's time something was done now! These gangs have all but taken over other cities/states so let's not let this happen here in our beautiful city/state. There are just to many laws protecting these gangs and terrorists---what about us the hard working law-abiding citizens???? Don't we deserve to be protected too?

The scuttlebutt in the neighborhood is that he had broken in to the house, and triggered the alarm. When the POC was contacted by the alarm company, they dispatched the police. Allegedly, the police showed up and the standoff ensued. I'm a bit skeptical of this though, as it just doesn't all add up. I believe he was the only person in the house.
I guess the thing that just really gets stuck in my craw, is that these MS-13 punks are primarily illegals. So, not only do they not belong here, but they have the audacity to intimidate and harass those of us that do.
While I know it is just a small part of the gang problem, I feel that the government really needs to crackdown illegal immigrants. How can you possibly justify 12 million people in a country illegally?
Here is link on bill's status. We need to write our reps and tell them we want the bill passed. It has been sent back to committee, which is short for "filed on back burner and may never see light of day."

There are estimates that range as high as 20 M illegals. You explain it to me! And I wish someone would nail down our Presidential candidates on just what they propose we do about the situation. I am all for legal immigration and totally against illegals sneaking across our borders. I personally don't know anyone who is in favor or illegals sneaking in!
This is one issue where We, the People are not being heard, IMHO.
Yes anifani, they have their advocacy groups there to protect these kind of people but who is there to advocate for us? I agree with you----we need to be heard!! Good post and information anifani!
