VillarLaRaza is a known member of MEChA. He isn't going to do anything about gangs. He coulldn't even pass the bar to become an attorney. He's failed it 4 times. What a dumbass. He's spent all of his time campaigning for Hillary and traveling to Mexico and Israel. When does this guy ever do work for Los Angeles? The city is 400 million over budget and he's off spending more taxpayer money. Screw VillarLaRaza! Oops, Mirthala already did, my bad!

You know... The mayor is Racist!!! And I'm hispanic! Martin Luther King said "not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character". I remember that when "my own people" accuse white americans as racists while they themselves are the worst racists of all...

"In the new century, Los Angeles has begun to fade... The unemployment rate is one of the highest among the nation’s largest urban areas. Streets are potholed. Businesses and residents are fleeing. In virtually every category of urban success, from migration of educated workers to growth of airport travel, Los Angeles lags behind not only such fast-growth regions as Dallas, Houston, and Raleigh-Durham, but also historical rivals like New York." --Joel Kotkin, CityJournal
