I read that. I have to agree with "Trino" Savala and West Sacramento Mayor Chris Cabaldon (an open homosexual, since it's going to inevitibly be brought up...), that the case of there being 'no such thing as Broderick Boys' is only hurting their cause. It's just making the anti injunction people look crazy. Jesus Christ, EVERYONE knows there's a Broderick gang. Forever they were called "Bedrock Boys" because they were always secluded out there across the river from the rest of Sacra and considered more old school than the other areas.
What they need to do instead is make the case that the injunction is only being used because of the retail development in the area, and there is tons of fucking evidence pointing toward it. I mean, here we are in a time where South Sac is becoming it's own 'Compton' with it's murder rate, and West Sacramento just mysteriously gets put under the microscope? I think there was like one murder there over the course of two years, and it was white trash tweekers, Mexicans had nothing to do with it.
This injunction was useless. It's designed to bring bad attention to the development in that area by the developers in South Port, the more exclusive part of West Sac. (yes, there is such a thing...)
Not to mention, injunctions within themselves are unconstitutional. But, they're here to stay. Unfortunately, they're being abused for all the wrong reasons. And there's no more obvious example than the Broderick injunction. I'm glad they fought back. And, it may have not been futile, afterall. Even though it looks that their injunction is going to stay, that article mentioned that the uproar in West Sac has discouraged D.A.'s elsewhere in the country from trying it. I don't care who you are, if you believe in the constitution, that's a GOOD thing.
