Oh this just gets more frustrating to hear about by the minute. The 20 year old gangbang stabber guy, not even old enough to drink, gets hammered and has to avenge his buddy, who got his butt kicked in a fair fight. So he runs up behind and stabs the guy in the back of the neck when they guy isn't even looking! Sounds more like total ignorance and a lack of mental capacity than disrespect. The Defense is trying to say which gangbanger? and one of the shining individuals Mother is saying Bible study at the time of the stabbing? WTH? Dang, if this doesn't put the issue of a gang injunction in the spotlight, I don't know what will. I really hope a lot of Cops read this and do something about it, injunction or not.

020: I am just as frustrated and infuriated as you. Middle of the day at Hendry's Beach, for sally's sake, with a restaurant right there. Wouldn't you think you would be safe?? But no, those bangers don't care. WAKE UP Santa Barbara. We are not safe.

What I don't understand is this macho attitude these gang idiots espouse. Running up from behind after a fight and stabbing someone? This is the definition of the word COWARD. I hope he learns some valuable lessons in prison....
