LOS ANGELES – A notorious street gang accused of terrorizing a neighborhood for years and killing a sheriff's deputy was the target of a coordinated assault by hundreds of law enforcement officials Tuesday.
Local police working with federal agents carried out a string of early-morning raids seeking key members of the Avenues street gang, a long-standing group that claims as its territory a swath of northeast Los Angeles. About 90 suspects were named in a massive federal racketeering indictment detailing criminal activity spanning more than a decade.
Officers in full body armor were seen at dawn Tuesday at a blocked-off staging area at the Dodger Stadium parking lot, where suspects were being processed at a portable booking area as media helicopters hovered overhead.
Scores of search warrants were served at 4 a.m. from Los Angeles to Kern County, and all the suspects were quickly rounded up, said Los Angeles police Deputy Chief Sergio Diaz. Within hours, several tattooed, shirtless men in handcuffs populated the parking lot.
There is "ironclad evidence of the crimes," Diaz said at the staging area.
"Our goal is to ... move these people out, occupy this community and support the law abiding people that deserve to live in dignity here."
Aside from murdering rivals, dealing drugs, graffiti tagging and other gang crimes, the gang is accused of making threats and carrying out acts of violence against police officers, culminating in two attacks that rocked the law enforcement community last year.
The first of these, in February 2008, saw Avenues gang members open fire with handguns and an AK-47 on Los Angeles police officers. Police shot back, killing 20-year-old Daniel Leon and injuring another man.
Then on Aug. 2, 2008, off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Juan Escalante was shot dead in front of his parents' home in the Cypress Park neighborhood northeast of downtown.
Even before the killing, authorities were investigating the Avenues, but his death increased the urgency of the operation. Earlier this year, police charged three men in Escalante's death and a fourth suspect remains at large.
The indictment details several possible motives for the murder. Carlos Velasquez, one of the men accused of killing the deputy, was heard in a wire-tapped telephone conversation telling another Avenues gang member that he killed Escalante in retribution for the death of Leon, nicknamed "Clever."
"Clever took one with him," the indictment states Velasquez said.
The 222-page indictment also alleges Avenues members posted inflammatory remarks on Web sites, including "Avenidas don't get chased by the cops. We chase them," and, "Avenidas don't just hurt people. We kill them."
Members of the largely Hispanic gang would also spray paint racist threats around neighborhoods to intimidate black people, according to prosecutors.
"This indictment attacks a criminal organization that has terrorized a community for generations," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Brunwin, the lead prosecutor in the case. "With all of the information collected over the past year, we assembled an indictment that led to dozens of arrests this morning and will make a significant difference in the neighborhoods in northeastern Los Angeles."
Tuesday's operation marks an ongoing focus on the Avenues gang, which gets its name from a series of streets running through the area.
In June 2008, another federal indictment took aim at the Drew Street clique of the gang. Prosecutors said Drew Street was the most active and violent clique within the Avenues and it produced significant drug-sale revenues for the Mexican Mafia, a prison-based gang that oversees much of Southern California's street gang activity.
That investigation resulted in the arrest of several of the clique's alleged leaders. Afterward, Mexican Mafia leaders attempted to re-organize the Avenues' presence in northeast Los Angeles by ending the clique rivalries within the gang and naming new Avenue leaders, Tuesday's indictment states.
Though incarcerated, Mexican Mafia leaders are able to communicate with street gangs through conversations on cell phones that are smuggled into prisons, as well as by passing folded notes to visitors.

I want to become a photographer for studio's like the one's in the mall, or even private owned ones. The kind that take school pictures or for functions like that.
I mean, it would be cool to do freelance, or newspaper photography. But I want a steady job. Actually now that I think of it, do school photographers have steady jobs?
I just know I would like to do something with photography but I don't even know all of the avenues. What kind of schooling do I need? Do I need an Associates degree?Well, there goes that. . .lol
What kind of training or schooling do I need to become this kind of photographer?

One of my favorite annual events is the Texas Renaissance Festival. I love all the sword-and-sorcery stuff and the medieval festivities. I'm a huge fan of fantasy memorabilia and whatnot. Here's the thing. The Renaissance started in the 1400's in Florence. Renaissance means "rebirth" in French. During that time period there was a massive resurgence of Ancient Greek and Roman architecture and customs. The Medieval Era was from 1000 to 1400. During that period Gothic culture and architecture was omnipresent. That occurred primarily in Northern Europe. The Renaissance Period spawned the Baroque landscape where wide avenues and tree-lined boulevards emerged. The idea was to make the streets more navigable. The Medieval cityscape was the exact opposite. Most of the main thoroughfares were very narrow with little setback from the streets that look like present day alleys. The idea was to protect the cities from outside invaders. I've never been to either place, but I'm told Paris has more of a Baroque design while Prague is more Medieval. So why do people confuse the two constantly? I've heard many even mistake them for the Dark Ages (between 0 and 500 A.D.) and the Middle Ages (from 500 A.D. to 1000 A.D.) The Renaissance ended during the Industrial Revolution around 1700's. Why can't people understand these time frames that all happened before the Industrial Revolution?
Why do people confuse the Renaissance and Medieval Era?

I found another point of view
just a dead end avenue
im growing close back to you
just what i dont wanna do
just what i dont wanna do
is to fall in front of you
and you can break and you can mend
for all the wrongs that you defend
you learn the hard way in the end
so stay in my memory
you can hide out there
dont take all my thoughts today
so i can start to begin again
so stay in my memory
you can hide out there
dont take all my thoughts today
so i cant start to begin again
so i dont wanna be left with all this
I plan to be there right by your side
oh it seems like this could be
just a dream with you and me
dont wanna be left with all this
I plan to be there
I plan to be there right by your side
so stay in my memory
you can hide out there
dont take all my thoughts today
so i can start to begin again
so stay in my memory
you can hide out there
dont take all my thoughts today
so i cant start to begin again
and you and i we had the stars
and you and i we had the stars
that you left over and over again
and you and i we had the stars
and you and i we had the stars
i dont wanna be left with all this
I plan to be there right by your side
