Why LIL Red? gangmember?
Hello, I never met the guy but I knew people that knew him. From what i know, I don't think he was a gang member (by this i mean, he was not part of a Real Organized gang). Yes, he probably got into trouble, but to say he was a gang member, no.

Living in a city like east palo alto and having a nickname automatically leads to an assumption that one might be affiliated with a gang, but it's not true.

Part of growing up in a city like East Palo Alto means that one is bound to get a nick name by friends and family members. It's part of the cities culture.

I grew up in east palo alto and i have seen the challenges young kids face there. Drugs, violence (domestic, verbal, psychological and physical), affiliation with the wrong crowd and tempatations are just a few challenges kids face. And the way i see it, the PROBABILITY of them encountering AT LEAST ONE is, I would say from observation, at least 80%.

Now, after the encounter, there are those who get trapped.

The city needs to do a better job in educating kids. I wouldn't recommend spending money in the same old campaigns they do every year. For example, you will sometimes see banners that say, "Don't do drugs," "Stay In School," etc. I mean, yes they help, but they are not helping enough.

Why not tell kids the truth. For example, show them the numbers. Show them the population of the city they live and how many of the people living there have at least a high school degree. How much money people make? How many people die do to crime?

Then show them the number of people who lived in the city and actually got at least a high school degree and how their living conditions are compared to those without a HS degree. Then go up one more level. Show them the stats of people who grew up in the city and compare their living conditions.

I really want to let people know, especially young kids who are going to school now, to take a step back and watch what violence does and what education causes. really think about it.

IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS GANGS (EXCEPT FOR BIKER GANGS).
THERE ARE AFFILIATIONS, BUT THEY ARE JUST UNORGANIZED KIDS WITH RED BEANIES AND IGNORANCE SHOVED DOWN THEIR LITTLE NECKS.
I KNEW HIM FROM HIDAYS LIVING ON HAZELWOOD. GOOD KID. HIS SISTER BLANCA WOULD ALWAYS HANG OUT WITH MY SISTER. I SAW HIM THREE WEEKS BEFORE HIS DEATH AT THE PAL MARKET. HE WAS THERE WITH HIS FRIENDS. I SAID HI SO DID HE. I NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOW THE EVENTS TO COME...

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Virgo

Someone is easily angered today, and you'll want to tiptoe around them at every opportunity. They might be on the defensive and imagine that you're getting at them all the time, or they could be quick to point the finger of blame straight at you. It won't be an easy day, but try not to get swept up in the emotional dramas that are swirling around you. They'll only exhaust you.
