Life in "Progress" State - California edition

They called it Paradise
I don't know why
You call some place Paradise
Kiss it Goodbye


A Latino gang conspired to rid a Southern California city of blacks through intimidation, threats and violence dating back to the early 1990s, according to a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday.

More than 50 people were charged as authorities made early morning raids targeting the Azusa 13 gang.

Federal prosecutors said the gang engaged in a host of crimes ranging from drug trafficking to hate crimes that have hobbled Azusa, a city of about 45,000 residents near Los Angeles.
