[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the last post for real?  Makes South Central LA sound like a favela, which maybe it is.

Irony is that the girl probably could go to George Mason with dozens of her Marshall classmates and get as good an education as at USC.[/quote]

Are these descriptions exaggerations?  If indeed south central Los Angeles is this dangerous, shouldn't the National Guard be sent in to patrol the streets?  What is an equivalent neighborhood in termis of crime in this area?[/quote]

Crime has been targeted at the students and the National Guard has been called out before - for the Watts riots and the Rodney King riots. The place is a powder keg.  [/quote]

I like to think that I am well-infdrmed, I read the NYT and Wapo daily, listen to NPR, scan Google news -- how is it that I have missed this story about a major city, here in the United States, which is a powder keg, ready to explode, very dangerous, extremely violent, with the National Guard called out recently?

Will someone here who is actually from there please set the record for me.[/quote]
