This breaks my heart.
I have a friend who moved out there 9 years ago escaping the gangs of Riverside. She went to Riverside running from the gangs of Lakewood/Bellflower, where she went to escape the hispanic gangs making life miserable in Downey.
Where can she go now? She is 65 years old. Her entire life (as mine has been) has been spent one step ahead of gangs, drugs, violence. She thought that Hemet/San Jac was far enough, rural enough, to let her live out her life in peace.
Not so.
