Is porterville becoming unsafe?

[Yankees Girl]

I mean I think that Porterville is becoming unsafe because you cann't go to the store with out getting shot I mean Look what happened to Maragrita and Iganico they got killed at a store I mean I wish they would catch the low life who did this may he burn in hell

it's strange that thet all these shootings started after the so called gang crackdown. maybe the police are stirring up the pot a little to much. i wouldn't worry abput gang shootings in porterville to much just as long as you go about your buissness. but if you go around hitting up people because of the color they are wearing you better have bullet proof windows in your car or a bullet proof vest cuz you never know if that person may consider you a thret to their safty and chose to deal with you in a violent manner

If you drive thru the L.a area you will see sur13 painted in blue everywhere. These surenos have no regard for anyones life. They will kill themselves and anyone standing in there way if given a chance. Porterville didn't have a gang problem until this group of surenos began to invade this town and county. The same problem is happening in every small northern california town. This was once a prison problem and they have taken it to the streets of any northern california town. Educate yourselves and recognise your neighbors. I wish President Bush realized that there is a war here in his back yard. SEND THEM BACK.
