Easter Sunday Morning Mimosa

It's Easter, and Tony Castro has the scoop. Easter hasn't been this early since 1913, and it won't fall on this early date again until 2160, so enjoy this one.
Pedro Espinoza, the alleged gangbanger suspected of killing Jamiel Shaw, Jr., may have been in the US illegally, Zahniser says. He is said to have been smuggled into the country from Mexico when he was four years old.
KFI says that an LAPD-commissioned report on SWAT will be fairly critical of some operations. The police union is alert to a possible ruse on behalf of department change, the Daily News implies: "All the issues are not being put on the table," said Tim Sands, president of the league. "We aren't bringing in the experts. We haven't had an opportunity to see this report that was leaked. We just need more information."
LA can neither grow its own newspaper editors, its own department heads, nor even its own cultural leaders, and the Times celebrates the latter fact in an aren't-we-wonderful puff piece.
Korean-styled BonChon Chicken at 6th and Catalina has opened for bidness. Most desperate cultural stretch of the month: "Think of it as Pinkberry…with fried chicken."

Happy Easter to all!!
Threre are thousands of "Pedro Espinozas" in Los Angeles. Los Angeles the sanctuary city is Los Angeles the gang capital of the world.
You can be sure the Mayor will not ever be talking about illegal alien gang members or mexican gang members targeting blacks for death.
Los Angeles has the new KKK, and they are the mexican gangs loyal to the EME mexican mafia prison gang which hates blacks.
Most latino street gangs are loyal to the mexican mafia and add the number 13 to their name.(M=13 letter of alphabet).
MS-13 Mara Salvatrucha
Just about all the latino gangs are loyal to mexican mafia, or they face death, in state prison from the mexican mafia.
These are facts all the mexican politicans hide from the public.
I would love Huizar and Reyes to tell us how many illegal aliens are in street gangs in Los Angeles.
How many billions do we spend for police, jails and schools for illegal aliens?
Thanks to all the Mayor Sam readers who helped push four stories from LA Daily Blog into BNN's top five "most clicked" today!!!

Congradulations Zumma!
Wait a minute, am I missing some code or cue here about the suspect in the murder of the young black kid by Pedro Espinoza?
Tragic murder of a young black kid who seemed to have everything going for him, by an ex con and violent gangster who happened to be of Mexican ancestry, and OMG! without proper paperwork, who was brought to Los Angeles when he was four years old for Christ sake!
What's the point being made here about the fact that Espinoza was brought here as an infant of four years old?
Is it that Espinoza was a gangster and a known violent gang member and ex con who had just got out of jail and probably brought with him to the streets his racist jail house mentality (although a fact of life in prison where you stick to your race and under no circumstances have anything to do with blacks under penalty of death),.
This prison system is a real and lethal set of rules that govern all races in the joint and if one is to survive you better adhere to these rules even if you were not raised in this manner.
This should be one of the topic's and conversation when discussing the useless death of this young man, the scandalous and mind numbing institution of voluntary and forced racism that has become systemic in our prison/industrial system.
Where inmates are segregated based on race and geographic considerations, a system that is run not only by greedy and racist bureaucrats whose only interest is a self perpetuating system that is the largest in the world where one out of every 100 US citizens are incarcerated, a total population surpassing all the countries in the world's incarceration rate combined.
What should be the question in regard to Pedro Espinoza and the murder of the young black kid?
That Pedro Espinoza was a Mexican and that Mexicans have some genetic hate for Blacks?
Pure fiction!
That Pedro Espinoza was an undocumented Mexican?
Did he have a choice about where he was raised considering he was brought here as an infant?
Was Pedro Espinoza just another young man like many other young American's, raised in the varrio's and ghettos of the USA, a victim of the poverty, racial and ethnic marginalization, poor schools, and the incredible influence and power of neighborhood gangs?
Shouldn't Pedro Espinoza have been noticed years ago as a potential sociopath, a time bomb ready to go off.
And considering Espinoza'a violent criminal record, would having him deported have made any difference?
After all he was raised here in LA all his life and would have probably had no trouble at all just walking back across the border somewhere.
Wouldn't it have made more sense either keeping him locked up or in some half way house or attempting to get him some psychological help before just cutting him loose on the streets with his prison mentality and MO.
I don't have all the answers but I think this tragedy is a lot more complicated than the fact that Espinoza was brought here illegally as a baby.
I have to say that Joseph Mailander's Sunday Mimosa's are consistently well-written pieces with hints of wit. Excellent photos, too.
I'm not commenting on the content one way or the other. Just very good quality writing.
I agree. Too bad the comments are always the same old, long Mexican-gang related stories that none of us here care about.
I'm sick of Jethro's crappy old EME, MS-13 Mara Savatrucha, illegal immigrant bashing, Pedro Espinoza, gang bull shit.
You all need to find an anti-gang blog.
yes, it's very Mary Cummins-like to start posting lengthy, irrelevant comments here that collapse the effectiveness of the blog.Deliberately.
We all DO care about the anti-gang stuff which involves illegals, you cholo apologist last poster.
Everyone cares about it except those of you pandering to the illegals.
There is a piece in this week's CityBeat about how the Latino gangs like MS13, 18th street and others are all racist, answer to EME in killing off blacks who are in "their" areas, and everyone knows this is happening at the local level.
About how the black community sees this, and Bratton and the Mayor's denial, as a clear refusal to admit the problems of illegals. These illegal gangbangers are the worst by far, and control the whole Hispanic communities.
I happen to care about all the problems Los Angeles has, such as gangs, schools, crime, illegal aliens, illegal street vendors, corrupt politicians.
Gangs are probably Los Angeles' #1 problem, gangs effect our schools and quality of life. Ask any west-side resident what they think of latino gang members in their west-side schools. You will be surprised and educated how gangs have all but ruined the few good schools in L.A.
The problem is that there are thousands of "Pedro Espinozas" who are in the country illegally.
The border should have been closed years ago, but more "Pedro Espinozas" are arriving daily.
The tide of poor mexicans is continuing, which will only add to our existing problems of gangs and poverty.
Of course Don Quackers blames the prison guards for the racism in prison. Why not balme the mexican mafia? If Don Quackers knows anything about prisons, he knows the prisoners have to be seperated by race or the prison gangs will kill the non-segregated prisoner.
I wonder if everything is the governments fault? Can the government force everybody, to not be a lazy criminal? I just wish the U.S. government would not let mexico's problem though our doors.
We already have enough problems of our own, we sure as hell don't need mexico's problems as well. Enforce the immigartion laws in the U.S., just like every other country in the world.
No Kiddin. Whenever there's another gang related related atrocity or senseless killing by ignorant cholos you have one faction here that will cite the story and give a short opinion.. THEN you have don quackers coming with his redundant defense of whoever the perpetrator was. It's usually coupled with a rich, heartwarming recollection of his own childhood (yawn), then a clear and malicious attack on whatever social entity of group may have had a contact with the poor, misguided animal who is better off pushed out of a plane over Mexico. He mentions "broken records" and "echoes" how everyone but he is a racist and xenophobe..
It's all typical propaganda from No Borders faction of freeloaders that have gained footholds in the area. Sanctuary?? What a joke.. This fool Espinoza attended public schools, probably had a driver's license, and had his needs met here by public health agencies, and he repays this country's freedoms with murder and mayhem?
Zuma: gotta admit, the story about how the City wants to put skyscrapers next to your single family home, IS a huge story, under-reported.
The Weekly's story on this was one of their most commented on, ever, too.
BUT it's not fancy skyscrapers that are the problem.
YOU MUST POST ON YOU-TUBE AND ALL OVER THE MEDIA, the COUNCIL MEETING ON TUES. 3/18 where Reyes attacks those on the Westside and Valley who object to his plans to shove huge, high-density PROJECTS in their areas, for HIS AND OTHERS' MASSES OF THE POOR, Hispanics including illegals, blacks, etc.
HE MADE THIS VERY EXPLICIT AND SINGLED OUT WESTSIDE NC's and ZEV Y FOR HIS SPECIAL HATRED FOR DARING TO WANT TO PRESERVE QUALITY OF LIFE.
He said, "If the city can't build parks next to where the people are (en masse) because of land of space, we must put the people where the parks are." This means, huge, subsiized projects next to Holmby Hills and Westwood Parks, in the Palisades, etc. -- he specifically singled out CD's 11 and 10 as his targets. "The areas which Zev Yaroslavsky represents."
Masses of poor, making an average of $25,000/ family with lots of kids, are NOT moving into deluxe condos like the ones going up now.
Make no mistake, Reyes is talking about projects for the poor.
Huizar, Perry spoke up for it, too. Some idiot called Garcia, with some lobbying group, said he was working as we speak to force this "vision" upon the city.
Jan Perry added her hatred for the Westsiders who refuse to take "just two" ugly, giant, lighted billboards (in Century City, which has just been remade at the public and private cost of some billion dollars, to look like a grand European thoroughfare, not TJ), and says this is somehow preventing her area from getting park money. (
From CBS/Clear Channel, in that shady deal negotiated by scoundrel Rocky Delgadillo -- he apparently allowed these companies to link their giving some kickback to Jan Perry's district for a park, to their "right" to put up billboards on the westside, which has fought them bitterly for years.)
ZUMA, LINK THIS MEETING ON YOU TUBE AND ALL OVER TOWN.
The media hasn't reported it, but this is the REAL background of SB1818.
The only one who spoke out against it in public comment was one lady the next day, 3/19 -- defending the right of NC's to protect themselves, and for Zev to do the same. This lady was right: it was REYES and followers who brought race into the issue. (When it's insane that the westside libs have gone along with so much financial redistribution for so long, as our city's infrastructure collapses, form schools to hospitals/clinics.)
(Jan Perry, as acting Council President, was clearly cold and resentful of her.)
ZUMA, THIS IS ONE THING YOU CAN TAKE ON AND DO ACTUAL GOOD SAVING THE CITY.
yes, it's very Don Quixote-like to start posting lengthy, irrelevant comments here that collapse the effectiveness of the blog.Deliberately.
About what don quixote said...
As children we all had to "adapt". If we were white, black, yellow or brown. We were Budists, Catholics, Protestants or Muslims.
We were children of legal or illegal parents. We all know that whatever we were, there were people who didnt like us for a reason; American Japanese children and their parents put in camps, Jewish children hated by Germans, Germans hated by the English, Mexicans were hated by whomever was an "new California " immigrant; the Oakies, the Sweeds, other anglos. Italians killed counsins in "the motherland" in Europe.
But, we all followed the law of the country. Yes, we had our ghetto's, but our parents refused to let us speak anything but English in public. Some wouldnt let us learn German or Japanese or Italian languages because they were the languages of our enemies.
Our parents made us behave as children. We were warned that the " XXXX" (police man, other ethnicity, etc) man would come and take us away if you didnt behave". We behaved. No one knows, for truth, how many illegals came in to the US from 1938 through 1965, but those who did come obayed the laws, learned to speak English and make a home for their children. Very few families, as the Drew Street Family could hand over $85K, made by selling drugs and extortion, could recover their home in lean years after any of the last five war.
Parents wanted each child to be graduate high school and if smart, go to college. Otherwise, you started in the occupation of your mother or father until you knew what you were going to do with your life. Bad boys (who broke the law) went into the armed services to get "some self decipline". The girls went 'out of town visiting"
If we had gotten in trouble; it would have been considered a shame on the whole family. Many illegal hispanic parents do not consider the childrens behavior as a shame, ...and the parents should.
Yes, Don Quixote, a four year old, was not resposible at four, but the parent who brought him in and allowed him to chose a life of crime is responsible and should be deported with him. The same for the Drew Street Family.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why did you post another Don Q. lengthy, irrelevant and boring comment about his childhood. This blog is about L.A. not Don Q's childhood.
Yes, it's very Don Quixote-like to start posting lengthy, irrelevant comments here that collapse the effectiveness of the blog, why do it for him?
I hope the old fool does not use his other stupid characters Santiago and Drinking with Tony to bore us too death.
“The Easter Holidays are near. Let’s spend them in peace and good company. You can also renounce the ham, chocolate-eggs should be sufficient for an Easter atmosphere.
Would it not be more harmonious if we did not associate religious celebrations directly with ham and other non-spiritual symbols? Do really so many animals have to die when we celebrate higher consciousness and try to develop spiritually? The answer is clear: of course not.
Feasts don’t have much to do with spirituality, just the opposite. Even considering that we can try to understand that in some eras, in which food was scarce, religious events were celebrated with banquets, we can now leave such material remnants behind us. True spirituality does not need them, just the opposite, because they show us that religions demanding such identifications got stuck at a relatively low level of consciousness.
That’s why we’ll try to celebrate the occasion differently this time. We use the opportunity for a walk in nature, for a cleansing of the spirit, for the search for internal peace. We are friendly to our family, our neighbours and all those suffering in this world. Also to animals. We spare them this time from our lust for meat and we try to overcome historical behavior patterns.
We will do something good for our spirit and our body."
I agree let's not talk mention any illegal alien gang members. And there is no brown vs. black violence in Los Angeles. Everything is wonderful in L.A.
Enjoy easter on Olvera street, while eating some great mexican food.
Here's something interesting...
even though it's called LA Daily Blog, views from Washington just went up 293% and is the #1 city of readers outside L.A. area! (Why would people in Washington be reading ZD's L.A. blog?)
Zuma the attention whore has to tell us all, how he is getting lots of attention. Don Quixote the other attention whore must be very jealous.
Sorry to bore you but I think Don Q needs a lot of learning. Guess I just tried to help. Wont do it again.
The Mechista Mayor will next be asking LAPD SWAT, to hire illegal alien gang members. Welcome to the new Aztlan of Los Angeles, where mexican gangs amd drug cartels will soon be part of the police department.
Another Tijuana north of the border.
Don Quixote and Mary Cummins are the whackos of Mayor Sam's blog, why are these two always mentioned on the same group of comments?
Whackos of a fur, flock together. A la verga, the vitriol.
^^^^^^^^^^
Don't forget to add Zuma Dogg bragging about all the hits on his blog. There are three whackos which turn the blog into a
shit-fest.
If those three were banned, comments would probably drop in half, but the quality of comments would increase 1000x.
Gang banger who pointed a gun at LAPD in Ramona Gardens was ILLEGAL...Agree with posters who state the cholo mayor wants to hide the fact that illegals are ruining and destroying our city.
Ramona Gardens housing projects in East Los Angeles is home base of Hazard Grande (Big Hazard) gang.
The city even allows the Hazard garnde gang to paint gang murals all over the walls of the projects.
This type of gang accepatance is one reason there will always be mexican gangs in Los Angeles. Where else would the city politicans pay for gang murals on the walls of housing projects.
Huizar is another mexican fool who panders to the gangs in Los Angeles.
http://www.lamurals.org/MuralFiles/ELA/RamonaGardens.html
Was Pedro Espinoza just another young man like many other young American's, raised in the varrio's and ghettos of the USA, a victim of the poverty, racial and ethnic marginalization, poor schools, and the incredible influence and power of neighborhood gangs?
*****************************
Orale Don Quixote putting it down.
It's the pinche gavchos fault for gangs, the gavachos need to give us more money ese.
The pinche republicans are always locking up our raza, free Pedro Espinoza (lil sniper) he is the real victim.
Lock up Bush, Republicans and the Gavachos.
The 18th st. are honorable sureno cholos who do a lot of good things for our raza.
The Los Angeles Times had a long article on the Ramona Gardens housing projects in East Los Angeles.

wow conchita thats sounds just like don quixote posts,you must hang out together.
moderation might be good. that would put an end to don queeryote and zuma dogg begging for attention.
The bottom line is that Pedro Espinoza had no right to kill Jamiel Shaw, Jr., regardless of whatever hardships befell Espinoza.
Because he was an illegal, he should not have been in the country and all the crime he created in this country would not have happened, including the killing of Shaw.
a view in CD-14
This is a simple logic that our politicians reject in continuing to support crime-enabling restrictions, including Special Order 40.
Villaraigosa, Huizar and the rest of the apoligists for gang culture do not put the safety of the law-abiding public ahead of all else.
There is a place for politicians to complain about the local crimes plaguing us. That's when they look for money to spend as they choose, often an exercise in waste. They say money is needed for fighting crime, for getting more police officers, when all they realy want is the money. The fear approach just happens to be an effective tool as a means to justify and enable their ends.
Is Don Culo and Don Quixote the same cholo apologist? The two idiots sound alike, blame the "man" for a cholo's crimes.
Even Al Sharpton has said people need to start taking personal responsibilty for their actions and quit blaming the "man" for all the problems in the black community.
For the dorks who don't already know. GW Bush is pro-illegal-alien. Get it through your heads. Sure, he's an empty neocon, but he's also against the border fence, against enforcing immigration law, and FOR legalizing all the millions of illegals here. He LOVES illegals, esp. if they're from Latin America. He's your guy, like it or not.
They're so stupid they don't think there is anything spiritual about a feast. I guess they've never heard the term "breaking bread". Or how about that famous piece of art entitled, "The Last Supper"?
Oh yeah, nothing spiritual about eating.
And I'm an atheist.
