Gangs in the News

— It’s been 8½ years since two innocent women were gunned down in a hail of bullets outside a Lincoln Park liquor store on New Year’s Day. They had stopped to buy a fireplace log after attending a late-night church service.
When the man identified as their killer was sentenced Thursday to multiple terms of life in prison without the possibility of parole, the son of one of the women expressed relief.
“I just thank God,” Antrone Waites said during a San Diego Superior Court hearing. “I don’t have no more anger toward what happened. I’m just ready to put this to rest so I can get some rest.”
Waites said he’s had trouble sleeping since Jan. 1, 2003, the day his mother — Carol Waites, 45, and her friend, Sharen Burton, 32 — were fatally shot. The two women stopped at Dr. J’s Liquor shortly after 1 a.m. and got caught in a gang war.
After a week of deliberations, a jury convicted James Carter, 37, in June of two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder. A special-circumstance allegation of multiple murders made him eligible for life without parole.
At times during the sentencing hearing, Carter smiled as he spoke with his lawyer, Brad Patton. But his family members seated in the courtroom remained solemn.
Michelle Carter, the defendant’s aunt, told Judge Kenneth So that her nephew was not the “beast” that was described in court and did not kill the two women.
“He is an innocent man and it shall be proven,” Carter said. “He’s not the one.”
James Carter, who prosecutors said was a documented gang member, was indicted by a grand jury in 2009. He was already in custody at the time on an unrelated robbery conviction.
Prosecutors argued during his trial that Carter fired shots outside the liquor store on Logan Avenue near Euclid Avenue in retaliation for the gang-related killing of his friend, Thomas Brown, 24 hours earlier.
At least three rival gang members were in the area when the shots rang out. Some of them ducked behind Burton’s car to avoid being hit.
“He perpetuated the cycle of murder between two of the largest gangs in San Diego County,” said Deputy District Attorney Robert Hickey during the sentencing hearing.




-new years is suppouse to be a time of fun and family.thiss man decided to go on a rampage and start killing people with no hessetetion. this lady got shot in a liquer store buying wood for her church fireplace.this lady got shot 2 times in the head for being in the wrong spot at the wrong time.thiss shows how crazy people are for money and drugs. he killed a inocent women for drugs.and for his gang.

10 Myths about Immigration

1. Most immigrants are here illegally.
- Of the more than 31 million not from here people living in the United States in 2009, about 20 million were either citizens or legal residents

2. It's just as easy to enter the country legally today as it was when my ancestors arrived.
- For about the first 100 years, the United States had an “open immigration system that allowed any able-bodied immigrant in,” explains immigration historian David Reimers

3. There’s a way to enter the country legally for anyone who wants to get in line.
- The simple answer is that there is no “line” for most very poor people with few skills to stand in and gain permanent U.S. residency

4. My ancestors learned English, but today’s immigrants refuse.
-While today’s immigrants may speak their first language at home, two-thirds of those older than 5 speak English “well” or “very well” according to research by the independent, nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute

5. Today’s immigrants don’t want to blend in and become “Americanized.”
-The reality is that the typical pattern of assimilation in the United States has remained steady, says Reimers

6. Immigrants take good jobs from Americans.
-On an economic level, Americans benefit from relatively low prices on food and other goods produced by undocumented immigrant labor.

7. Undocumented immigrants bring crime.
- According to the conservative Americas Majority Foundation, crime rates during the period 1999–2006 were lowest in states with the highest immigration growth rates.

8. Undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes but still get benefits.
-The Social Security Administration estimates that half to three-quarters of undocumented immigrants pay federal, state and local taxes, including $6 billion to $7 billion in Social Security taxes for benefits they will never get

9. The United States is being overrun by immigrants like never before.
-Many people also accuse immigrants of having “anchor babies”—children who allow the whole family to stay

10. Anyone who enters the country illegally is a criminal
