" The officers can do something, look what Boise PD does when you mess up...they put 15 rounds in your chest and the problem is solved and they move on to the next thing on the list. If they have a problem dealing with the "emotional" problems of shooting someone and taking a life, then they need to turn their badges in. They weren't hired to have emotions, they were hierd to solve the problem and uphold the law, protecting all innocents that may be in harms way. It's not for everyone, I know that, but being in the military and spending many months in the sand box and have taken life of another myself, it really isn't that hard to deal with when you look at the fact that if you didn't take that persons life, they would of taken someone else's life that didn't deserve to die, or made life miserable for many other innocent people.

NOTHING is going to happen around here though until something as extreme as an innocent childs life is lost to a gang war. Only then will anything be done about the current situation, and everyone will be left wondering..."why wasn't something done about this sooner?" "

" Wow these are some serious gang members,six men with a big stick and a knife and You can't even kill ONE man.
My grandma and five of Her friends at the nursing home could have killed him easy, and made a clean get away.
As long as her wheelchair did not get stuck in the snow.
Ontario WANGSTERS are a JOKE. "

" I'm glad i moved. from reading all these blogs, I'm not surprised on all the issues. when i lived there i would get alot of stares, guess what i look like??

anyone??

im a Hispanic male, tattoos and at the time wore baggy clothes. i didn't have a wide selection of clothes...so i would wear my dads (for the people who don't understand the sagging) well i would not mess with guns, drugs, graffiti & i still got disgusted and scared looks. I'm sorry for how i grew up, but i was not a criminal & did not deserve that. everyone makes mistakes, mine being getting the tattoos. i am now a paralegal (yes with tattoos) & I'm doing pretty good for myself. Not all Hispanics with tattoos, for all the people who are making racial comments. "

" SO WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ON HERE PEOPLE ARE ANGRY ABOUT THE GANG PROBLEM BUT CANNOT WORK TOGETHER TO FIX IT, JUST ARGUE AMONG THE SOLUTION SO THAT NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT.
JUST SAYING THAT THIS SO CALLED GANG PROBLEM IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE ITSELF AND IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW UNTIL THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTROL OR ABOLISH THESE GANGS FROM OUR AREA..
WAS JUST THINKING THAT MAYBE THE MONEY SET FOURTH FOR PLOWING OUR STREETS WAS USED IN GANG EDUCATION FOR OUR OFFICERS. BUT THEN.. I AWOKE FROM MY DESK!! ONTARIO IS BEING DRIVIN INTO THE GROUND THESE DAYS AND NO ONE IS DOING JACK sh@# ABOUT IT. IT IS GOING TO BE FUNNY TO THINK THAT THE CITY OFFICIALS THINK THAT THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB, BUT IN REALITY NONE OF THEM ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE GENERAL POPULATION. THEY ALL SEEMED TO BE CONSUMED BY WHAT ISSUES DIRECTLY AFFECT THEM. SOME COUNCIL WE HAVE..ONTARIO IS THE NEXT CALDWELL.. JUST AS SOON AS THE MEXICAN MAFIA FROM WEISER CAN CONTROL OF IT ALL.. "

" If you knew how to really read a persons words you would understand that I also dislike Hitler and all he did...you missed the point of my post ENTIRELY.

But I did forget to add this...as powerful of a gang leader as Hitler was...we still stomped his gang in the ground and kick them off of the lands that did not belong to them. So what do you think we could do to these little gangs it we all went full force on them? The fight wouldn't last to lunch time.

There, now maybe another idiot won't come along and misread my words.

And yes, I blame parents in a way, but seriously think about how discipline was 50 years ago. If you were so hard headed that you still wanted to be a trouble maker and not listen and abide by the law...they just beat you until you got the point. These kids now days grow up knowing their parents can't touch them, that they can say anything they want to teachers and get away with it, etc. "

" I say when you catch them, make them join the military . Since they like to shoot so much. Give them a rifle and a canteen if they go willfully. If not, send them with the canteen and a stick. Make them fight for our country. Either way, we will slowly be rid of them. After they have served a year or so (if they survive), give them the option of staying with the military, or release them. Maybe they just might get the "gangsta" scared right out of them.

Nahh.. That wouldnt work either. I guess we'll just have to stick with the original plan, "Shoot to Kill"!

That idea might just work on the illegal alien problem though. "

The Truth wrote on Dec 24, 2008 9:05 AM:

" The real problem lies with the fathers roles in these young peoples lives. They are crying out to be heard, respected and to feel important. If the father was doing a good job in parenting, loving, admiring, encouraging and building up these young people, they wouldn't have to commit crazy acts to get respect and attention. I would venture to guess that most gang members come from broken homes. We want to remove God from our country and schools, demoralize the family structure and then wonder why we have these problems in our society. The bible says spare the rod and spoil the child. These kids need loving discipline and a true role model. They need their father to embrace them, guide them, and give them loving discipline when needed. This country was founded on Godly principles and flourished. We have abandoned those principles and we are reaping what we have sowed. Wake up people it is time to turn back to God. "

AND LASTLY TO ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT "WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON"
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING ON THOSE "GANGBANGERS" DON'T WANT TO GROW UP AND ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING A PRODUCTIVE CITIZEN.INSTEAD THEY WANT TO ACT LIKE IDIOTS.
COULD YOU IMAGINE HOW GREAT OUR COMMUNITY WOULD BE IF JUST FOR ONCE THESE MORONS WOULD PUT FORTH THE EFFORT TO IMPROVE IT RATHER THAN DESTROY IT . "

" Wow, you are an idiot. "We" should all just get out since we don't understand whats going on?!

No, we are going to push out those who don't understand whats going on. these gang members, due to lack of education and motivation to be a real human being, decide to be little gang bangers and they drain a local area with their theft, graffeti, drive bys, etc.

gang members think they are so bad, that their gang is something special. they think because they control a city block, they are a great gang lord.

Well I have news, ALL gangs are a joke compared to what a real gang can do. As much as i hate to say this, Hitler was one of the greatest gang members of all time. he didn't waste his time with drive-bys and controlling a street, no, he was a real gang memeber.....HE TOOK OVER ENTIRE COUNTRIES.

Until you are "man" enough to do something like that, put your little knife and pea shooter away before the citizens, which out number you 100 to 1, start to take action for themselves.

Gangs....what a joke. "

" If these dummies (gang idiots) would shoot or stab better, it would save our city many many dollars in man hours. If they would simply kill each other, there would be less paperwork, and we could all get on with our normal daily stuff. Come on Gang Bangers, start killing each other, and save us taxpayers some money! "

IF YOU DONT LIKE WHATS HAPPENING IN ONTARIO WHY DONT YOU MOVE OUT OF ONTARIO AND HOW DO YOU KNOW IT WAS THE SAME PERSON INVOLVED. DO YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF INSIDE SOURCE WHO LEAKS YOU INFORMATION. AND IF YOU DO I HOPE YOU AND THE OTHER PERSON GET INTO SOME TROUBLE. THEY NEVER MENTION ANY NAMES.YOU CAN CALL YOUSELF A LOSER FOR BAD MOUTHING OTHER PEOPLE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING THRU.

I HAVE SEEN SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT ONTARIO AND HAVE CALLED IN TO REPORT IT AND IF IT ISN'T A 911 CALL IT COULD BE 20 MINUTES BEOFRE YOU EVEN SEE AN OFFICER. SO MAYBE IF OUR OFFICERS COULD WEAR BULLETPROOF VESTS EVERY DAY/NIGHT ON SHIFT THEY WOULD TRY AND BREAK THESE THUGS UP A LITTLE MORE EVERYDAY. WE JUST NEED ONE OF THEM TO ROLL ON THE OTHER.. MATA SHOT AND STABBED..LMAO!! WHAT A LOSER.. AND THE PEOPLE THAT ATTACKED HIM EVEN MORE OF LOSERS... THE ONE OLD GUY ID PROBABLY THE ONE THAT HAS SEN REAL GANGS IN CALIFORNIA.. TEACHING A NEW WAVE OF THEM TO MOVE DOWN THERE. "

" I Agree: You make very good points and I dont take issue with your views. Your pretty close on the gangs not being white also, but the comment that a white person could never be in a gange sent me to typing. Skin heads are still active and very much a white gang although we dont see them around here much. Amazing, you are not even the one who made the statement that started my writting, appolgy to you also. "

I agree wrote on Dec 18, 2008 7:16 AM:

" Amazing, or Amasing however its spelled, it doesn't really matter. I agree with you. The race card will always be a problem, and whatever you all may think, It is what It is! Its a fact that everytime a gang arrest is made, the names Gonzales, or Morales, or Hernendez is ALWAYS following the first name. Why is this? Amazing is just saying what most white (and black,chineese,japanese,ect.)people want to say. As for the white gangs in the prisons, NO S**T MR. or MS. white. They are locked up in a PRISON. How else are they to protect themselves. Certainly not by themselves. Pro death, I agree with you too, in some ways. Im not shouting White Power here, I am friends with alot of brown people. The thing is that you probably grew up in a different generation. The generation that needs to stay out of the racial issues. You dont count. Im sure you dont have tattoos of what gang you are from on your face ( I saw yesterday in a store). You are the type that actually gets and deserves respect, because you give to other people. Ill bet you speak english perfectly. I dont think he or she was speaking about you.

Why is it you can say Brown Pride, or Black Pride. But when I say White power, its racist? "

white wrote on Dec 17, 2008 3:29 PM:

" Amasing: You are an absolute retard. Why would you write something like that? The gangs may or may not all be hispanic but to make a statement that a caucasion could NEVER be in a gang is ridiculous. You should take a little tour over to the Oregon correction facility and see all the "white" gangs. Leave your racist comments out if your going to post a view point. Good job pro death penalty in your post. Maybe Mr. Amasing will at least be able to spell it right next time!! "

BUT AM JUST AS AMERICAN AS ANYONE ELSE
I WORK,OWN A HOME,AND PAY MY TAXES WITHOUT COMPLAINT.I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE GOOD CITZEN AND DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM ACTING OTHERWISE.

" Gang problems in Ontario? No way! I've never heard of this before. I think maybe the officers just need to shoot and kill a few of them, maybe then they might get the message that no-one wants you here. Ontario has always been a safe haven for gangs, and until something harsh is done to send a message, they will continue to be a thorn in everyones side. Does anyone remember the Raiders gang back in the early 90's? I have been seeing a comeback lately. Look around people, these are not football fans and they are all hispanic. If they look suspicious, stop and question them P.D. I'm sure you will find some drugs or maybe even a weapon. Dont just wait for violence then make arrests, stop it before is starts. You know who these people are Ontario PD.

The only good Gang member is a dead one. "

" Wouldn't it be absolutely wonderful if there were a large un-inhabited island out in the middle of absolutely no-where, that could be used to place all of these gang-banger's...and give them nothing but the clothes on thier back's, seed's to grow crops for thier food. Then, maybe they would either do one of 2 thing's...learn to get along with each other, and realize they need everyone in order to survive...OR

Either way, we would be rid of them... "
