Growing up in the grim, gang-ridden streets of Alhambra, California, Chi-Lan Lieu knew that she would someday forge a path into the world of technology reporting.

Right. Alhambra is a predominantly Asian 'burb east of L.A., the only gang you find there are the cops!
I love it when people try to pretend to be tough. Poser![/quote]
I did IT work at the Alhambra Police Department in the second half of 1999. (A big PC rollout and a new 911 system were the primary tasks.) The city may seem idyllic compared to some other place place but there is a real gang problem there. It's low key compared to the worst Asian gang activity in Orange County but that is when it needs to be addressed, not after neighborhoods are effectively held hostage.[/quote]
I've been living in the neighborhood for over a decade. It is nothing compared to South Central or Westminster. The local cops get off on writing traffic tickets to Asian drivers, I have yet to see them deal with real gang problems like LAPD had to. The biggest criminal case they have is probably that Phil Spector mansion murder. The neighborhood is about as "grim" and "gang ridden" as Santa Monica's 3rd Street Promenade or old town Pasadena, where you can stroll down the street at night and weekends with shops open for business.[/quote]
Spend some time in the PD and see what gets brought in. You'd be surprised. Alhambra looks good because they do their jobs. A lot of the worst places began their slides when the cops were neutered and not allowed to do their jobs.
And lets see. Location with very high percentage of Asians and lots of Asians getting ticketed. Go figure. You know, in Fargo the speed traps really pick on Swedes for no discernable reason other than most of the residents are... Swedes!
an asian at least once in my life
