Little K, that link I showed, the shortened one from the website cjhsa got his photo from, was of a series of articles, not about gang violence, at least the articles that I remember; the LA Times article was also about a huge protest march in LA (re recent immigration legislation efforts) heavily peopled with high school students.
This was a bit of a tangent to the immediate discussion in those pages, but was news to me about the giant protests. (I don't watch tv, suppose it has been on the news). These are my old neighborhoods and neighbors and I was interested in reading about them.
