Here is a Fred Martinez Report 2007 flashback:
LA gang F13 accused of targeting blacks
By THOMAS WATKINS, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 1 minute ago
LOS
ANGELES - In a murderous quest aimed at "cleansing" their turf of
snitches and rival gangsters, members of one of Los Angeles County's
most vicious Latino gangs sometimes killed people just because of their
race, an investigation found.
There
were even instances in which Florencia 13 leaders ordered killings of
black gangsters and then, when the intended victim couldn't be located,
said "Well, shoot any black you see," Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee
Baca said.
"In certain cases some murders were just purely motivated on killing a black person," Baca said.
Authorities
say there were 20 murders among more than 80 shootings documented
during the gang's rampage in the hardscrabble Florence-Firestone
neighborhood, exceptional even in an area where gang violence has been
commonplace for decades. They don't specify the time frame or how many
of the killings were racial.
Los Angeles has struggled with gang
violence for years, especially during the wars in the late 1980s and
early '90s between the Crips and the Bloods — both black gangs. Latino
gangs have gained influence since then as the Hispanic population
surged.
Evidence of Florencia 13, or F13, is easy to find in
Florence-Firestone. Arrows spray-painted on the wall of a liquor store
mark the gang's boundary and graffiti warns rivals to steer clear.
The
gang's name comes from the neighborhood that is its stronghold and the
13th letter of the alphabet — M — representing the gang's ties to the
Mexican Mafia...
... According
to the indictment, F13's leader, Arturo Castellanos, sent word in 2004
from California's fortress-like Pelican Bay State Prison that he wanted
his street soldiers to begin "cleansing" Florence-Firestone of black
gangsters, notably the East Coast Crips, and snitches.
His followers eagerly obeyed, according to federal prosecutors.
In
one case, F13 members came across a black man at a bus stop, shouted
"Cheese toast!" and fired. "Cheese toast" is a derogatory name for East
Coast Crips, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin S. Rosenberg said.
The victim, apparently targeted only because of his skin color, survived being shot several times, Rosenberg said.
F13
isn't the only Latino gang linked to racial killings. Last year, four
members of The Avenues, a gang from the Highland Park area east of
downtown Los Angeles, were convicted of hate crimes for killing a black
man in what prosecutors called a campaign to drive blacks from that
neighborhood. And last January, authorities announced a crackdown on the
204th Street gang following the killing of a 14-year-old black girl.
The
violence goes both ways, said Adam Torres, a Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department gang detective whose beat includes
Florence-Firestone.
During a recent patrol on the east side of
the neighborhood, he pointed to a cinderblock wall peppered with bullet
holes. Torres said the Crips still control that area and any Hispanic
there is at risk of being shot.
Francis Notes:
- Doctor
of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt
the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church
in such a situation:
"[T]he Pope... WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See."
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said "the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church."

- LifeSiteNews, "Confusion explodes as Pope Francis throws magisterial
weight behind communion for adulterers," December 4, 2017:
The AAS guidelines explicitly allows "sexually active adulterous couples
facing 'complex circumstances' to 'access the sacraments of
Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'"
- On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:
"The AAS statement... establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia
has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense."
- On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
"Francis' heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the
Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters
magisterial documents."
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.
