What a long, bloody week this has been in Santa Ana. A sixteen year old was beaten with baseball bats and stuck with a knife, while his assailants tried to steal his iPod. A fourteen year old was shot. And now “a man was robbed at knifepoint by two men who got away with a pack of gum, police said,” according to the O.C. Register.
The incident occurred at 11:15 p.m. Wednesday in the 400 block of West Warner Avenue near Birch Street, said Santa Ana police Cmdr. Stephen Colon.

I also came across these two incidents yesterday, the ages are astonishing to me. I might be getting older but these ages seem extremely young, I don’t recall violence in the 13/14/15 age group at this level.

SANTA ANA – A 14-year-old is expected to live after being shot while riding a bicycle and then making his way a few blocks before police were able to find him. Investigators searched the neighborhood for an SUV and as many as four attackers who may have been involved in the attack.
Police found the wounded teenager about 3 p.m. near the corner of Willits and Shelley streets, said Sgt. Mike Buelna of the Santa Ana Police Department, but witnesses told officers that the teenager was shot in the 500 block of Poplar Street, more than half a mile away.
What does Police Chief Walters have to say about this? Nothing. What is he doing about it? Nothing. Where is the Chief? Who knows. When will the people of Santa Ana get a police chief who cares and who provides leadership? Anyone’s guess.
To John,
Unfortunately, we have many more unreported incidents in SA involving this age group, and it has been going on for many years. This age group is very violent, with little impulse control, and they do not forsee the consequences.
Everyday weapons are taken from juveniles, either on campus or on their way to and from school. Knives, bats, sticks, homemade knives, razor blades, brass knuckles, screwdrivers, belts with metal stars, stun guns, bb guns, airsofts and real guns are confiscated. This is not an exaggeration, and who knows how many go undetected.
The answers start at home. Parent participation, teaching morals, and promoting education. Parents checking their kid’s back packs, knowing who they hang out with, knowing where they are, monitoring their television and internet use. Parenting is a job no one seems to want to do. How do you fix that?
