Not necessarily, he could have owed someone money? Just an assumption. Or they just felt anger towards him????
I do hope they catch the creeps and pray the victim recovers fully!

My guess is that non of you were there with the girl. She was face down on the floor in her underware, Scared to death. Only, after the Det. had talked to her for a couple of hours and she came to her mom's house and crawled in bed with her mom and cryed and couldn't get the horrible pictures of her boyfriend getting beat out of her head.
Her boyfriend is on the mend. Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts. Let Peace Reign.

For others that are interested in the actual location, East Lewis St. is in West Ventura off the Avenue.

Yep, I hope they catch the predators...

What is our fair city turning into?
Of course when you tell men they are born of animals (or is that apes?) how else would you expect them to act?
We should keep these two kids in prayer, along with our community. So much for the Avenue Renewal Project, maybe we should pray for the Avenue "Revival" Project?
Blessings to these kids and their families.
