Grandmother with AK-47 saves cops being attacked by street gang

Post by spin_drift » Wed Aug 17, 2016 4:56 pm

Los Angeles| Officers of the LAPD received some totally unexpected backup yesterday, during a fire fight with local gang members in the Watts neighbourhood, as an elderly lady with an assault rifle showed up and scared the criminals away.

Officers Ricardo Cordova and Frank Cho were responding to a call concerning a presumed drug deal in a parking lot, when they came under fire from members of a local street gang. The policemen rapidly found themselves in a perilous situation, being inferior to their attackers in both numbers and firepower.

Fortunately for them, 79-year old Wendy Robinson was watching the events from her kitchen window and decided to intervene. The elderly woman equipped herself with her personal bulletproof vest and an AK-47 assault rifle, and ran to the officers’ rescue, firing more than 160 rounds in the direction of the assailants, injuring two of them.

Two of the assailants were injured and were arrested on the site. They were transported to the Martin Luther King community hospital. Their state is considered serious, but doctors don’t fear for their lives.

The LAPD fears the elderly woman could now face some form of retaliation from the criminals, for helping the police and humiliating them, but the threat doesn’t seem to bother Ms. Robinson at all.

The sector of the Watts neighbourhood in which Ms. Robinson lives is known to be dominated by a primarily African-American gang known as the Crips.

They are one of the largest and most violent associations of street gangs in the United States, with an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 members, and have been involved in murders, robberies and drug dealing, among other crimes.

No doubt a brave and excellent act by the grandmother with AK 47. Grandmothers in India too need AK 47s to protect their children and grand children. There is too much crime going on and criminals are armed with all kinds of illegal firearms of their choice. Arms Act 1959 means nothing to the criminals, it is only disarming the law abiding and creating soft targets for the criminals.

30,000 to 35,000 member gang :shock: How they are able to successfully run such a large gang without the gang members being detected by police, without their communications getting intercepted by police, without being infiltrated by intelligence agencies of police to finally dismantle the gang? Anyone from U.S.A. shed some light on this?

They are not in one place, but spread all over the big, and some smaller cities, in the US. Not under an organized national leadership. Local black thugs pledging allegiance to either the Crips, or rival Bloods.
