14-year-old boy dies after being shot in Pacoima

Police were trying to unravel this morning a fight that led to a shooting in Pacoima last night that left a 14-year-old boy dead.

What happened to the good old fist fight? Black eye, bloody nose & some lost pride. Shooting someone is such a lose lose move. It only shows the shooters effeminate nature. Too weak to battle.

[state RN]

These things just don't happen anymore. The shooter was probaly getting the short end of the stick. got made fun of by his homeboys and decided it was what he needed to do. These guys think they need to win a fight at all cost. They should just take thier beating like a man and move on. Kiling only gets you in prison for life. Where he will probably get his ass kicked again and this time he won't have a gun to retaliate with.

This is why we need to reform special order 40 and get rid of these illegal gangbangers. This city is NOT safe, it's like Tijuana with the recent shootout.

I am sick reading the news today....punching an old man in the face for no reason and he dies, setting dogs on fire...Can't people see we are overcrowded with so many different people and cultures and everyone wants it their way. Anger is boiling over. There is no more UNITED States...no UNITED anything! This is a third world bazaar. Nobody assimilating to the American way of life anymore. Like the bumper sticker from the 60's...AMERICA, Love it or Leave it.

I'm tired of the old "back in my day we used fists, knives and chains" routine nearly as much as I'm sick of hearing about cowardly gang scum murdering innocent people. All gang scum are gang scum, no matter how they choose to do their damage. And yet, our ex-gangbanger mayor wants to hand them our money and ask them to behave rather than prosecuting them, making them serve time, and deporting them if they can't prove they're here legally.

it is not the illegals only

No body said anything about knives and chains. We just said people took care of it with a good old fist fight and not necessarily gang related. I mean how much better it would be if they took it outside had a fist fight and it was over. No shooting, no innocent bystanders getting killed and no crowding of our prisons. I am just as tired as you are with the low life scum. I work in a prison and it makes me sick how they walk araound like thier sh*t don't stink. And deportation does not work. They keep coming back. We need to spend money on stregthning our borders.

[DDAAMMNN]

This is the reason you keep your kids by yourside. We need to take responsibilty of these kids because this time it was a 14 year old next day could be us. Terrible, I am just sick to see that there is no control over our youth. God bless those parents.

[Rick]

That's what the kids do now when they are losing or will lose a fight. They just pull out a gun and start firing at anybody. This young kid lost his life for some stupid moronic reason.

[love animals]

When will the ever end!

[love animals]

Correction: When will this ever end. When will people stand up for their country and their childern. Get these low life losers out of here. They are hurting our childern, they are killing our animals. They are costing us money. WAKE UP PEOPLE...get out and support our police, support our troops, support those that are here to protect us. Instead of always accusing them of wrong doings. and by the way Mexico does not even celebrate cinco de mayo! they laugh at us.

[state RN]

Looks like no end in sight. Weak borders, light sentences, absentee fathers, gangs being glorified and to much money involved in the gangs. We have to much gainst us. These dumb ass kids are willing to kill or be kiled for the gangs.

[Enrico Cash]

We need to mobilize the National Guard and the LAPD and treat gangbangers like we treat members of Al Qaida -- go neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block, street by street, and hunt down, and kill on sight every lousy illegal alien Mexican gangbanging scambug. The time for talking and reasoning is long past. They need to be wiped out.

I stand up. I vote for the candidate I believe will make a change and then get let down. I not only support our troops I was once a troop myself. The police have all my support but they are overwhelmed themselves. So please other than these things what more could we do?

[JLP91331]

I support the LAPD 100%. I hate hearing this! It is not like it was back in my times! It's changed soo much!! These gangbangers act like they own the streets!! I used to reside near the Pacoima Projects and needless to say, that was not fun! I still live in Pacoima, but not there. The Foothill Division needs more police and more task squads for this! They are extremely short staffed, and overwhelmed. With all these "additional" taxes the mayor wants to impose on our already ridiculous water and power bill, the money needs to go there!!! I love my city, and I think it's time that the mayor, Alex Padilla (who grew up there), Tony Cardenas, and all the other officials in that district get off there a** and take back the streets!!! We elected you to office...NOW DO SOMETHING!!!

[DAILY]

WELL BYSTANDERS WERE SAYING THE GUN BOY WAS YELLING OUT PROJECT BOYS GANG SO YOUNG AND WASTE OF LIFE WITH SO MUCH OUT THERE TO DO TO END UP LIKE THIS

[wally p]

back east as well as the when I was young they had Police Athletic Leagues(free) where kids had activities in sports as well as role models (cops) to look up to and do things with their time. today if you don't have the bucks you can't afford for theses kids to get off the streets. and parents can't do it because their paying 1400.00 for a 2 bedroom flop house to live in. This is america today! not back when dad only worked and mom could stay at home and kids could learn family values. today they raise themselves because the system has forgetten them. but thats okay we property owner are making money so who really cares

[cant say 1]

rip slash
some F*** s***=[

They do own the streets. We can't walk in certain neighborhoods without fear. Good forbid your car breaks down in a bad nieghborhood. It's getting scary. Even law enforcement is ovewhelmed. They can no longer protect the innocent. They are to busy running from one gun shoot out to another. We need more law enforceent and stricter punishment.
