Who is out collecting cans at 3am?

Sounds like a boyfriend/girlfriend dispute or a hooker and a john gone bad trick.

Larry Altman, for Pete's sake, get the story straight and add meaningful details.

BTW, had this been Torrance the guy would have received multiple gunshots tothe back and been DOA.

Outstanding work by the Hawthorne Police Department. The complaint desk officer, dispatcher, and arresting officers handled this call perfectly. They should all be commended. The perpetrator should spend the rest of his life in prison! The world is a little safer with this animal off the streets.

1. release a photo. Maybe other people will recognize him and come forward regarding other crimes.
2. Most likely the perp will be black given that Hawtorne IS predominately black.
3. People who collect cans ARE out that early.
4. Good job HPD!!!!!

Does it make you feel better if he were Black? Does it give you a feeling of being better than the entire race of people if one person of the race acts improperly?

Whether he was White, Black, Hispanic or Asian the point of the article is that this sick person is off the streets.

So did your Master Rush Limbaugh. He also said Whites are born racist. I will paraphrase, as he used the analogy if Homosexuals can say they were born this way, then Whites can be born Racist. It is in their genes.

Just because a ignorant person say something DOES NOT make it right.

Here is Rush's quote.

"White Americans are racists who have created what they call free markets that really just enslave the rest of America and her trading partners,” Limbaugh also mocked.“I mean, it was white Americans that ran off Van Jones. No, look, let’s just follow Eric Holder’s advice and not be cowards about all this. Let’s have an open conversation, an honest conversation about all of our typical white grandmothers. You had one, I had one. Obama had one. They’re racists just like our students are. ACORN — hey, nothing but racism fueling the pursuit of ACORN.”

Limbaugh also suggested that racism itself was acceptable.

“If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?” the talk show host asked.“I’m sorry — I mean, this is the way my mind works. But apparently now we don’t choose racism, we just are racists. We are born that way. We don’t choose it. So shouldn’t it be acceptable, excuse — this is according to the way the left thinks about things.”

I did not post the because I agree. I posted it because there are some seriously ignorant people who has the ability to influence weak minds through the media in large numbers.

No, it doesn't give a feeling of being better. I myself am a minority and it angers me when I see senseless and brutal crimes committed by my race. I am embarrassed by how many times people of my race are in the news for crimes. I wish our gov't would get tougher on criminals and bring our world to some kind of civility.

Well I am sure if i were driving my truck on some day in april of 1992, and I was stopped on the corner of florence and Normandie, you and your friends would have pulled me out of truck, beat me, doused me with malt liquor, shot me a couple of times, and then thrown a brick at the back of my head a la reginald denny, but I do not drive a truck, but that is right everything whitey does is racist, It is amazing what God lets you get away with.

maybe you should google search Channon Christain and see what your heros did to her and her boyfriend. But then again it was their fault, they were white

A woman walking the streets alone at 3:00am certainly isn't breaking the law, but not the wisest decision to make. Especially in Hawthorne. Nothing good happens after midnight because wierdos come out of the woodwork at that time.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Virgo

You're feeling restless and need to introduce as much variety into your day as possible. However, you'll want this to be on your own terms, and you certainly won't like it if plans are changed without your consent or you feel you've lost control of the situation. Try to take everything in your stride, otherwise you'll end up feeling exhausted and frazzled.
