Hundreds Hurt in California Prison Riot



LOS ANGELES — Rioting inmates smashed and burned a large California prison on Saturday night and Sunday morning, injuring 250 prisoners and hospitalizing 55.

The 11-hour riot, at the Reception Center West at the California Institution for Men in Chino, about 40 miles east of Los Angeles, broke down along racial lines, with black prison gangs fighting Latino gangs in hand-to-hand combat, the authorities said.

  1. I am latino, and honestly most of latinos ( just like any other human population) have an awful culture, this is the main reason why our latinamerican countries are so awful that we want to go to America, a much better place better organized and more fair. I am not going to join any stupid movement because behind any tag, there are so many people that I don;t know what they stand for. Specially when a lot of ignorants are trying to get rid of security by defunding police and trying to separate people even more. Everyone who wants to live in a place without police, should go to live in Guatemala city or a ghetto. That is what you get whithout police.

    Also, standing on a corner with signs won't make anything change, you have to report crime, sue institutions if needed, not commiting the same mistake racists do and assume everyone in a group is evil just because of a few people.

    Also if any "minority" wants to built a better reputation, the change starts with yourself.

    I see ashamed how most of crimes are commited by latinos and black people and none of those businesses and big companies that claim to be part of the #BLM movement they aren't educating them in order to help them to get out of their situation? We already know the roots of many problems, why aren;t we part of the solution?
