This reporter is a dumb racist asshole whose dumb racist bullshit is probably going to be reposted to every dumb racist asshole social media feed before I can finish writing this comment, but FTR,

A shocking message

Real subtle framing there /s

about the immigration raids was posted on Instagram by the elected official Cynthia Gonzalez, who serves as the vice mayor of the city of Cudahy, located in southeast Los Angeles County. The message isn't for the federal government. It's allegedly for the "cholos," a slang term in the U.S. meaning gang members, in Southern California.

Meanwhile, in reality, (arc)

Ari Taylor, a recent USC journalism master's program graduate, explored these intricacies in her capstone project. She summarizes them succinctly:

It's safe to say that cholo culture is more than riding down Sunset in a candy-coated Impala or going to Sephora in order to draw on the most perfect eyeliner wing. It's more than negative stereotypes of gangbanging on the blocks of East L.A.

It is history. It is a culture. It is resistance and activism

Back to the dumb racist asshole's story,

"I wanna know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles. 18th Street, Florencia. Where's the leadership at?... Now that your hood is being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain't a peep out of you... Don't be trying to claim no block, no nothing if you're not showing up right now trying to help out and organize," Gonzalez said, according to the video.

So, she's calling on people to "help out and organize" and that's a problem only because she's using the slang of a non white culture to call on non white people to "help out and organize" and that's very upsetting to dumb racist assholes like Josh and Jim here.

The FBI can't confirm or deny an investigation into Gonzalez's words,

FBI: "Josh what the fuck are you talking about, we're not investigating a politician for calling someone a cholo."

Dumb racist asshole: "Hmm, but there are some investigations you're doing that you couldn't tell me about if I asked right? Like, are you investigating any Chinese spies right now?"

FBI: "Wha - I... Yeah, there are sometimes investigations we do that we can't talk about right away, but thi-"

Dumb racist asshole: "You can't confirm or deny, got it, thanks! Disconnects"

but ABC7 legal analyst Josh Ritter believes the vice mayor's call to action may have crossed the legal line.

"When you're dealing with a political leader calling upon criminal street gangs to take action, that takes on a far more sinister meaning and, perhaps, criminal meaning behind it. It is one thing to say local people of the neighborhood stand up for yourselves.

Which is what she did

It's another thing to actually call out the names of different criminal street gangs and ask them to protect their neighborhood," said Ritter.

Which she did not do and you only think she did because, and I really can not emphasize this enough, you and everyone else involved in the writing of this story is a dumb racist asshole.
