Sorry Red, I am with 12:07. Two wrongs don't make a right. Sam has allowed this blog to decend into one personal attack after the next. Just in the last few weeks Zuma attacked Jim Alger out of nowhere (of which Jim promptly handed the Dog hi ass on a silver platter but that isn't the point).

Now ZD is going ape-shit because someone called him a goof-ball (which he is). The mutt is using this blog not to discuss issues, but to call people liars, crooks, thieves, corrupt and god only knows what else.

It seriously needs to stop.

ZD is such a pussy he can't take criticism but he sure can dish it out. He systematically deletes posts he doesn't agree with or that call him out for the liar and piece of crap he truly is leaving just enough so he doesn't stand out.

Fact is ZD is a fucking clown who seriously has to have something amiss upstairs. Sam has drank the kool-aid and will follow this guy straight into hell.

Does anyone remember the personal attack that Kevin Roderick unleashed on Joseph Mailander ? "THE LEAST RESPECTED BLOGGER IN LOS ANGELES" ???

Does anyone remember the personal attack that Kevin Roderick unleashed on Daily News reporter Tony Castro after his "MYTH" article ??

A "respected" journalist of Roderick bearings should not have to use personal insults when someone else is given a "byline" in a local fishwrap. Sounds "Scornful" to me.

BTW, lets do a tally of the number of personal attacks on Roderick and Zuma. Then we'll see who has been the subject of smear.

Defending the behavior you claim to lament is not a good argument Red.

If it was wrong when Roderick did it, it is wrong when this blog allows it. There is also a difference between comments solicited on a blog and the actual named blogger engaging in the attack. (Not to mention Zuma's actions BEG for attack - c'mon, rolling around on the floor threatening to sue the city at a city council meeting??? I mean really...)

Your argument seems to be "lets all race to the bottom of the cesspool" which I doubt is how you feel.

Sorry, Red Spot, but the posters are right, and you're digging yourself a whole further into hell even as we speak... WHY?

And what insanity would inspire you to compare an uneducated, neurotic, megalomaniacal hypocrite to a real journalist? I've not read the Roderick pieces you mention, but I'll bet you a dozen McD's fish sandwiches that they are literate, based on the issues, and not the rants of a goofball/gadfly who is a waste of time and mental energy, leaving your blog with the same two or three "midget Mayor," "We Latinas hate the Midget Mayor who dumped his wife, because we're high- class Mexicans" sad sacks.

In posting his thread with the usual nasty personal attack-words in the title, don't you see that the dogg and you guys have drawn MORE attention to the fact that what Roderick said was very, very mild relative to the truth?

Don't you realize, by defending the dogg like this, you and Sam prove you've drunk the Kool-Aid of no return.

A lot of this is in response to Mayor Villaraigosa's p.c. ethnically divisive rhetoric. Screaming that the illegals are here and are not leaving is borderline-treasonous. I'm not by any means defending the "midget mexican" comments, but some people feel helpless.

What people are trying to tell you is they're furious at you for enabling and encouraging the worst kinds of pond scum to ruin our city and its political institutions. Broderick does NOT show up at City Hall ans waste endless comment time, looking dirty and filthy, and behaving rudely and out-of-control, from not taking his meds for psychosis, and inflicting the pathetic result on the rest of us.

Matt down, an itinerant peddler of cheap incense, suing our city adds to the financial waste and fraud he and that vile illterate dogg of yours inflict on our city. Zuma the Dogg rolling on the floor in spilled coffee, "joking" about suing for that, too. Recruiting mike hunt for their schemes.

These pond scums would have NO forum if it weren't for misusing our CH. 35 City-paid and produced Channel. The Scum Dogg even brags that he gets to use City Hall as "his" free personal theatrical and sound stage, the "characters" are already there, conducting business and serving real constituents.

You say you have a right to trash the Mayor and anyone who does anything from more til night -- fine, just don't be surprised that when you laughably expect us to care what such dishonest and taxpayer=money stealing pond scum think about him or anything, what you will get is people telling you to keep your pond scum away from OUR publicly paid institutions.

You say, "do don't read zuma or matt." No one does, except 2-3 highschool dropouts who don't own computers.

This is about people expressing outrage over mutts like this not only wasting the time of officials and the general public, but SUING US FOR ALLOWING THEIR ILLEGAL (in Matt's case) and NASTY existences to stink up OUR public spaces and institutions. And using your space to trash decent people like Broderick and Alger, etc. etc. etc.

I'm glad about Zuma's crazy thread against Kevin, though -- I hope it's reprinted all over the city. But it won't be, because NO ONE CARES.

You go beyond a blogger to someone who is knowingly hurting our city, in the guise of trashing the Mayor "for our own good."

Since no one commented on your alleged topic, another new thread trying to change the subject...

8/28/2007 Life & Times KCET, Los Angeles Transcript
Val Zavala>> It's arguably the most powerful gang in the state of California, but it's not on the streets of Los Angeles. It's in our prisons. It's the Mexican Mafia and, despite being behind bars, it's responsible for hundreds of gang killings every year. Authorities liken the Mexican Mafia to a corporation.

Now a new book looks at how the Mexican Mafia has even corrupted gang prevention programs and some local politicians. Saul Gonzalez talked with author Tony Rafael, a Los Angeles writer who spent ten years researching gangs.

Saul Gonzalez>> Let's start with the fundamentals. What is the Mexican Mafia, or La Eme, as it's often known.

Tony Rafael>> The Mexican Mafia is primarily a prison-based gang whose focus of power is the California prison system, the CDC. They were founded in 1957 and, since that time, they have managed to do what no other prison gangs do, is extend their power and reach beyond prison walls to exercise control and influence over virtually every Hispanic street gang in southern California.

Saul Gonzalez>> They're a California supergang?

Tony Rafael>> They are a supergang. They are a gang of gangs who have managed to vertically integrate themselves with every Hispanic street gang in southern California either as an ally or as an antagonist. Every street gang member in southern California eventually will have to deal on some level with the Mexican Mafia.

Saul Gonzalez>> What sets the Mexican Mafia apart from other powerful gangs, be it the Black Guerrilla Family or the Aryan Brotherhood? What is it that kicks up this supergang to another order entirely?

Tony Rafael>> It is the fact that they've got tens of thousands of street soldiers at their disposal more than willing to do whatever it is that they want them to do. Their reach is much, much broader, much larger than BG, the Black Guerrilla Family, or the Aryan Brotherhood.

They can control things on the street from the secure housing unit in Pelican Bay by merely issuing orders. Making a phone call, writing a letter, they can get things done on the outside that no other prison gang can do.

Saul Gonzalez>> Now we're having this conversation in El Sereno, a neighborhood in East Los Angeles. A powerful force in this neighborhood? If you live in this neighborhood, do you feel the touch of the Mexican Mafia?

Tony Rafael>> Well, walking around, you're not going to, but you see the graffiti on the walls. In El Sereno and other neighborhoods, you'll see the thirteen suffix attached to a gang name. Usually when you see thirteen, that's an indication of a Sureno or Mexican Mafia affiliated gang. The thirteen is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet which is M, which stands for EME, which stands for Mexican Mafia.

Saul Gonzalez>> And thirteen is almost sacred to the Mexican Mafia?

Tony Rafael>> Absolutely.

Saul Gonzalez>> Explain how they were able to jump the walls from just being a prison gang to something with a lot of power and clout and influence beyond the walls of California's prisons.

Tony Rafael>> It was a conscious effort on their part. It was a policy initiative which was thought about, worked out in advance in detail, and finally launched roughly in the September timeframe in 1992. When a number of paroled Mexican Mafia members hit the streets, they issued orders to all the gangs in southern California that, from now on, you're all Surenos and you have to do what we tell you.

Saul Gonzalez>> They actually had kind of a super summit, no? In Elysian Park?

Tony Rafael>> Yeah, they did. At Elysian Park, they had a meeting with over a thousand gang members, but that was not the only place. They had meetings in the Coliseum parking lot, in Orange County and places in San Diego. All over southern California, they had these giant meetings where it was essentially, "This is what you're going to do."

Overwhelmingly, most of the gangs joined up, saluted the flag and said, "Yeah, we're happy to do this." There was some resistance, as there always has been, to the Mexican Mafia. But for the most part, most of the gangs joined up willingly.

Saul Gonzalez>> And when they go to prison, you quote one, I think, a prison administrator or a correctional officer, who says that's the head office, right? California prisons?

Tony Rafael>> Yeah. The California prison system is the head office. That's where the locus of power is. That's where all the top shot-callers are, in the prison system and the Los Angeles County jail.

Saul Gonzalez>> Is it too much of an exaggeration to say that it's the Mexican Mafia that, in reality, controls our correctional institutions here?

Tony Rafael>> It's not my contention. It is the contention of the correctional officers, that they are the ones who control the prisons. The COs are there to feed, house, clothe and medicate them. The actual running of the prison or what goes on inside the prisons is really controlled by the inmates and predominantly the Mexican Mafia.

Saul Gonzalez>> One story that you recount in your book which I think is very striking is what happened to a Hollywood actor, Edward James Olmos, when he made a loosely-based film about the Mexican Mafia and one of its leaders that the Mexican Mafia did not like. What happened to him?

Tony Rafael>> He was sanctioned. He was targeted for assassination because he took liberties with the truth.

Saul Gonzalez>> Edward James Olmos?

Tony Rafael>> Edward James Olmos did. The name of the movie was "American Me". For the most part, it was quite accurate, but there were some scenes that he added that did not reflect reality. As a result, they took great exception to what was shown on the screen and they killed three people that were connected to the film --

Saul Gonzalez>> -- advisers to the film.

Tony Rafael>> Technical advisers, and he was targeted for execution, for assassination. Supposedly, according to what law enforcement told me, he paid his way out of that green light.

Saul Gonzalez>> I've read that you often carry a sidearm, a gun. I can't help but notice the guys standing over there next to us and two of them are your personal security. I imagine that's because you're afraid of possible repercussions, right? Blowback from the Mexican Mafia? Was it worth writing the book?

Tony Rafael>> Yes, absolutely it was worth it. I think this is a subject that needs to be addressed. It needs to be addressed for the thirteen, the fourteen, the sixteen year old kids out there who are growing up in these neighborhoods who are seduced, brainwashed and mind controlled into looking at the criminal life as something glamorous and something to aspire to. For no other reason than to keep those kids hopefully from that life, I think it was worth it.

Saul Gonzalez>> Having finished this project, having written your book, what advice do you offer to law enforcement agencies, be they local or federal, when it comes to fighting gangs like the Mexican Mafia?

Tony Rafael>> Fighting organized criminal groups like the Mexican Mafia requires a sustained effort. It can't be a fire brigade type of approach where you isolate a problem, you devote a whole bunch of resources to it, solve the situation and then move on to something else. It requires constant attention over the course of many, many years, and it requires the resources and the political will to do it.

Saul Gonzalez>> Well, let me ask you something. The Mexican Mafia was formed in, what, 1957. It's been around for fifty years. Fifty years from now, is there still going to be a Mexican Mafia in Los Angeles?

Tony Rafael>> Probably. There probably will be. Hopefully, it won't be as strong or will be weaker. With changing demographics, who knows? But criminal organizations like that are really, really hard to eradicate. The Cosa Nostra is still with us after a hundred years.

Saul Gonzalez>> What is the larger societal interest in policing this gang and cracking down on this gang? If you're not a member, if you have nothing to do with them, if you don't live in certain neighborhoods where they operate, what's in it for the rest of the city to make sure that this gang is controlled and maybe even eliminated one day?

Tony Rafael>> The average individual really should have no fear of the Mexican Mafia or gangs in general. They're not going to come breaking down your door in the middle of the night to take your stereo. The societal costs, however, are staggering.

What is the life of a sixteen year old kid cut down for crossing them? What is that worth when you multiply that by tens of thousands all over southern California? I don't think you can put a price on that. It's inestimable. I think that's the real tragedy and it's the real cost that you pay.

Saul Gonzalez>> Writer Tony Rafael, author of "The Mexican Mafia", thanks for joining us on Life and Times.

Tony Rafael>> Thank you very much for being here.
