I heard a lot of gunshots around midnight last night as the hood welcomed in the new year.
I hear there was a big police presence at the 18th St/La Cienega Blvd mall in the early morning hours of Sunday.
The gun shots came from the ghetto area near the mall. I think kids were just firing into the air to celebrate the new year.
So I expected this Shabbat there would be a major police presence in the community. I heard the police were pursuing these mugging cases and there was political pressure on the police to do something. Yet I didn’t see police around this Shabbat in Pico-Robertson.
