in WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THE GOODS GALLERY on The District Weekly
I'd like to see this go to a local school-specifically a local charter school with campuses on LB Blvd & PCH and Pine & 12th....what do we have to do to make that happen? And how long before the city puts a high rise on the space.....?

I agree that 4 year olds should be in bed WAY before 11-but as we now know HE WAS WALKING WITH HIS MOTHER to a shop 1 block away. This is not a kids who was out 'running the streets' he was walking with his mom & sisters to the corner donut shop. Its spring break, they wanted something to drink: they should be able to do that without getting shot.

I have an 11 year old son. I live on 1st street at Orange (yes right down the block from "That house". My kids (again an 11 year old son & wait for it can it get scarier; yes! 13 year old daughter ) go to school on long beach blvd just south of PCH. In short; Long Beach is our home; and we don't pretend its anything but the big vibrant city it is. The kids have always been taught; don't go anywhere alone;etc etc.
All the reasons why I wanted to raise my kids in the city (Museums in walking distance (and yes we really do go), a vibrant Jewish community, a public charter school where they were taught to think not follow; now seem naive. I never thought I could live anywhere but a city (I was born here but grew up in San Francisco) I always thought that if you do x y & z right then your kids will be ok; maybe not perfect but ok. Well today there is a mom a few blocks from me who doesn't get to yell at her son to do his homework, to come in the house she can't yell at him, or hold him, or see him grow up. She doesn't get to do these things because some stupid S.O.B. decided that shooting some people would somehow benefit him. I know that there are a lot of people who are going to say " well what was an 11 year old doing outside at 10 at night!!!) GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK! He was going across the street to get a donut with an adult (20 is still considered an adult isn't it) If he had been at the In & Out at the Circle or somewhere in Los Alamitos would anyone say anything to question the parenting of the grieving mother?) of course not; but because its Cherry & 15th then of course the Mom should have "Known" to keep her precious child under lock and key once the sun went down. Why? Because the city is too busy fighting over stupid things like whether the luggage claim at the airport should be indoors or out? Because they're figuring out how to best position themselves for state office? Because no one should ever know the pain that Jose Luis Garcia Bailey's family is going through I'm going to hope that the people in charge SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!!And do something about the small percentage of people who are ruining the lives of the rest of us.
I have an 11 year old son. and tonight when he goes to sleep I'll probably sit and watch him breath like I did when he was new; only now I'll be afraid in a way I never thought I could be when I was trying to figure out how to hold him, how to handle teething, how to not hover. None of the books said ok; here's how to keep them alive: if anyone asks you're from "nowhere" or "I don't bang" might help; but in reality just learn to run really fast if you want to live in Long Beach and you don't happen to be in a gang.
