The media is trying extremely hard to make this a hate crime. I guess gang violence, domestics, love triangle or numerous other things aren’t to be considered. In todays age it’s a hate crime until proven otherwise.

Well they just announced the suspect is asian…so that puts a damper on the typical hate crime angle.
Was watching news this morning and some politicians liked to throw gun violence in there before they even knew what kind of gun was used. 🙈

I say it’s gang violence. Monterey Park is a huge Asian gang community.

When the details finally come out, you will understand why. It's tragic. There is a hero in all of this though, so hopefully that information will eventually be shared. This could have been a lot worse.
If they come out. So much is hidden it’s disheartening. Just like the deputy shooting in SCV. Will details ever really come out? Or a few of us lucky to know people will know the truth. 😞

Our local PD got it covered if that's what the alerts I am getting are for.

They said the gun was at the scene. My guess is somebody, with guts, relieved the shooter of his weapon.
I hope that's the case, or something along those lines...

The media was all over that in the press conference with LACSD and the MP Chief. Kept asking if it was an assault weapon and when told no started guessing assault weapon models. Jesus what an agenda.

How Luna was elected as the person to lead one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the US, is beyond me. The guy is a terrible speaker and sounds "Lost in the Sauce." 🙄
Well I think Villanueva had finally pissed off enough people that he couldn’t get re-elected if he ran by himself. Not saying I wanted Villanueva gone or that Luna is better but there simply had to be a changing of the guard for better or worse.

The most impressive Sherriif’s Dept sheriff is Bianca. Love that guy.

Villanueva didn’t fit the liberal. Everything is against the criminal platform. Had to be eliminated This county and state is in a fucking desperate time.

Only if you’re a conservative and if you are the libs would be happy to see you driven out. They are happy as clams with the state of affairs.

Now that is taking up the major news cycle. What are they hiding from us that they don't want us to know about in other news???
With this many agencies involved in an incident like this, things have to be handled appropriately. You have people from city, county, state and federal agencies involved, and as you can imagine, the information needs to be vetted before it is released. That's why there is so much speculation from all of the media personnel. They haven't been fed info directly from the sources, so they are left to form their own opinions. The press release at 4:30 should have more information that has been deemed appropriate for release.

Alhambra's idiotic liberal retard of a mayor did the same thing during the wee hours of the morning. She must have been awake looking for more clams to devour. 🙄

I'm glad your sources were wrong.

Not talking about anything in connection to this shooting.

That parking lot where the white van ended up is right next to Lindberg Nutrition where my wife gets our vitamins from and my grand kids go to that family dentist there.
They shut down Hawthorn Blvd. and Sepulveda Blvd. in all directions. That had to be a mess caddy corner from Del Amo Mall.

There is never an "Ideal" location for an incident of this magnitude to come to an end. With regards to location, and considering everything that has occurred, this was probably a "Best case scenario." No other innocent people were injured, and that was obviously a priority. Yes, businesses were affected and motorists we're inconvenienced by the road closures. It's unfortunate, no doubt about it.

But BUT were any classified documents destroyed or hidden anywhere in the world? That is the real question.

I pray for all the victims, families, anyone directly involved with this or any other incident. I apologize my comments look insincere however I feel great sympathy for all involved.
