June 20, 2023, LOS ANGELES - The search is on for a group of rowdy teens who trashed a McDonald's restaurant in Leimert Park. Juneteenth in Leimert Park was supposed to be a day of fun and unity – and for the most part, it absolutely was. But blocks away from the peaceful festivities, a McDonald's franchise got hit by a group of young people going inside and trashing the place. In a cell phone video, screaming and yelling can be heard in the McDonald's near West 43rd Street and Crenshaw Boulevard as the raucous suspects rip the cash register out of the machine. In another video, a young suspect is seen walking out of the restaurant with the cash register. In a video shared to social media, a teen smashes the cash register into the ground and the group of looters started grabbing money. The manager of the restaurant had just left before the chaos ensued. "It got a little hot for a second and it was a lot of people crowded together and everybody created, you know, some type of animosity," Teron Liggins, the McDonald's franchise manager said. "That's unfortunate for sure. I'm also a man of God. So, you know, I try not to fear anything but God. But at the same time, you got to be smart. You got to be cautious." So far, one teenager was placed in custody in connection to the incident. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the incident. Source |

Milwaukee Juneteenth shooting; 6 hurt near MLK and Chambers June 19, 2023, MILWAUKEE - Six people were shot near Chambers and MLK just as Milwaukee's Juneteenth celebration came to an end Monday, June 19 around 4 p.m. It stemmed from a fight between girls, police said. "After a day of Juneteenth celebrations where thousands in our community gathered peacefully," said Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman. Police said the victims ranged in age from 14-19; four girls and two boys. MPD said the shooter was a 17-year-old boy who was also shot during the incident. Police added that investigators are looking for others who were involved. "Milwaukee, what’s going on with our children?" said Chief Norman. "Parents, guardians, elders, we need to engage and ensure that this violence that our children are bringing to these streets cease. No handgun, no weapon of destruction should be in the hands of our young ones. It’s important that ALL of us do something. Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson stressed that this didn't happen during Juneteenth celebrations, but as the block party was wrapping up. "There were families out here," said Mayor Johnson. "There were kids out here. There were babies out here. If you are an adult or a young person, you’ve got your hands on a gun, and you are ill-tempered, right? Don’t come to stuff like this. Don’t come. Get the help that you need. You don’t have the right to steal the joy that this community felt. You don’t have the right to endanger babies in this community. You don’t have the right to put the men and women of this department and our partners in the Office of Violence Prevention in harm’s way because you want to go out there and act stupid with a gun, and that’s what it is, it’s stupidity." Camelia Pickett was nearby with family when the gunfire erupted. "It’s sad," she said. "How can we celebrate when it’s our own, our children that are doing the shootings?" Pickett said they ran and took cover. "We don’t know what’s going on, but we hear the shooting," she said. For Pickett, the day with family filled with celebration was ultimately tarnished by violence. "It’s supposed to be a celebration only for it to end the way that it did," she said. "I’m disappointed. I’m disappointed. I’ll never come to Juneteenth again. Not here. I hate to say it." "Arguments should not lead to guns fired off, period," said Mayor Johnson. "Period." Source |

not calling that rowdy teens but a criminal gang. If caught, they should face years long sentences to put a hold to this kind of flash mob attacks. ![]() |

Low level intelligence. Sad state of affairs with these folks. It’s crazy how they seem to live in combat zones where so many carry guns regularly. I’m sure that a whole lot of these people suffer from PTSD. ![]() |

Never heard of "Juneteenth" until this year. Now its being hammered out by the media like it is Christmas. Must be the latest round of shit our communist school system has been teaching our children. ![]() |

No respect for the community or other's property. If they want to act like vicious animals they should be treated like vicious animals.
