Man beaten, robbed in Altadena

What the hell is wrong with these people? I wish we were allowed to be armed. In states where carrying is legal the crime rate is a whole lot lower. Who would try and jack someone who is packing? The law isn't helping, so we need to help ourselves.

I wouldn't put a church in the same category as liquor stores and gangs.
We need legitimate business' so what's wrong with barber shops.
I don't understand why the victim did not leave correct information at the hospital which was probably Huntington Memorial. Didn't he have insurance?
Bottom line: what do we tell kindergarteners? Don't talk to strangers. Don't ride with strangers.
This was a bold, brazen act to do at 6:30 PM
Why didn't someone help the victim?

Burglaries, robberies and now beatings. Where are the Sheriff? Oh sure they arrived after the fact and of course found nothing, what's new?
Perhaps it was nap time for the deputies and they were all sleeping like the one I saw sleeping in his car on Allen Ave at Homewood the other day.
Shamefull!!

Sheriff's can't be everywhere at once. Residents need to be vigilant, and know their surroundings. Neighbors need to watch out for suspicious activity in their hood. We have to be the sheriffs extended deputies.
The victim leaving false information was just plain dumb.

I did NOT make up the part about seeing a duputy asleep in his black and white patrol car. The only error was that he was parked one block south of Homewood, I went a looked to be sure of where he was.

No, we don't need anymore churches! There are at least 3 churches within 500 feet of where this happened! I love how people think that religion will somehow solve a problem like this when it actually causes these problems. If you look at any neighborhood with high crime rates, you will usually see a lot of churches in the immediate area. Hmm, why do you think that is? Pasadena alone has over 150 churches! 150!!! ENOUGH!
Churches, liquor stores, check cashing and that damn barber shop are all draws for these people. This neighborhood sucks. We need more police patrols, cameras, and a better neighborhood watch program. SOMETHING.

Except it's not working... until it does, we don't need any more, especially no more of the self-segregated kind...
