Lakers Celtics playing now

Reading L.A. Weekly to drone out the sound of those irritating commentators and arena people. They are so annoying. Laker fans don't sound like that; I'm serious. It's a more beautiful, harmonious, high-pitched cheer. The way a cheer is supposed to be. These dumb fans just sound derisive. The commentators are so boring and Sam Van Gundy. He can be funny, by being really stupid and caustic, but he has the ugliest voice. And Paul Pierce. I hate that guy and his dumb acting. He went down as though he was hurt, had people carrying him to the locker room, and looking like he had died or something. And then comes back. He just wanted to get the crowd riled up. You could tell it was all drama.

Anyways, I'm reading an article about that 17-year old kid who got shot. This was some gang-related crap again. The alleged shooter was an illegal immigrant. This law that they're trying to write up reverses Special Order 40, "which instructs Los Angeles cops not to ask the immigration status of anyone unless he or she has already been arrested." This should raise a flag. It doesn't make sense. The foremost problem in this tragedy is the state of gang warfare in L.A. It is not so much about illegal immigrants. The most outstanding attribute being promoted about the killer is his being an illegal immigrant. Red flag! The story is supposed to be that he is a Crip and Jamiel associated with the Bloods. That's the real story. At least it should be.

This is why problems never get solved. Because we are always evading the real root of evil, and focused on distractions. Illegal immigrants have been painted such a poor image. They are still people. The only reason why they want to come to America is to improve their prospects. That's an honorable intention. Illegal immigrants contribute a great deal to the L.A. economy. Instead everyone tries to find a way to turn illegals into cold-blooded killers, glass-eyed moochers.

Our priorities are not in the right place. We are in a wrong state of mind.
