I work in Torrance and can hear the birds flying over. Just sent out a company wide email blast as we frequent the mall for lunch.

We need more good Americans carrying to end these effing piece of shits lives before any gets the chance to dial 911.

When word gets out that you will get smoked by a good guy before you even pull the trigger this type of shit will stop real quick.

Sad, very sad. So komifornia has the stiffest gun laws in the country, yet probably has the most illegal guns as well in the country. But the law abiding citizens who could pass a background check and carry and possibly stop this kind of matter is squelched by the *demoncrats* who really dont want to help the average citizen stay safe. It's the most immoral so called justice. I ask the question, why dont they stop the illegal smuggling of guns into the country? Why dont "they the government" start going into these (usually) low income neighborhoods, projects, hoods whatever you want to call them and do illegal gun contŕol sweeps? Probably illegal I suppose, or makes to much sense. But here we go again, guns are bad and nobody is responsible.

Uh yeah. That's only an active shooter in the eyes of the media who will blow anything up for a headline. To the regulars, it's called a gun shot victim.

What's the current demo in central Torrance these days? If anything like central Hawthorne, this would be a daily occurrence. Anyone been to the Hawthorne Mall lately? Oh yeah. Gang warfare shut it down.

So if I get this right, you blast off a couple rounds and the whole place will shut down?

BRB, I'm going down to the river and fire off a few .40s.

Parker's closed, Folks.
:D
It's still locked down, and no vehicles are being released from the lots until they have been checked.

Central Torrance is about as safe as it gets. They are on it when needed. I would say 3-5 minute response time. House prices booming. No thugs walking down the street no pan handlers or homeless. No comparison to Hawthorne. My Buddy is Hawthorne PD not that bad a few rough areas. I know he made the news few years back had to put one in a thugs head.

My house is 1 block out of Torrance but Torrance address. No comparison 45 minutes the fastest I have seen in response time up to 8 hours when I call. Like walking across the border when you cross Western.

I would buy my old house back in Torrance as its still a dirt lot. Sold it cause they would not let me develop it. New owner tore it down to build but no new builds approved. Building in Torrance has become ridiculous. 2111 Andreo had Adobe foundation needed to be bulldozed as was my plan. They declared historic so I sold. Been that way for at least 8 years sitting. City will not approve new build.

You want to move back nice 2 bed 1 bath fixer just listed for 600k. Or on little Normandie they have new track houses that back up to normandie with no yard for $890K.
South Bay has always been expensive. I started my SCE career in Redondo Beach and it was about 25% more expensive than HB. To this day it still is more expensive than HB.

Very true

I don't know how South Bay people put up with the traffic, or being so close to bonafide gang violence. It's an island when a major event occurs.


Active shooter in LA County is a shooting suspect in a large public venue. Don't get wrapped around the axle if it's a gang on gang crime or a terror attack. The issue is a gun man has fired rounds in a crowded area. A gang member running away who's killed his target isn't worried about taking out anyone in his way, hence the response and the responsibility of the responding agencies to clear the site until 100% positive the suspect is gone.

You don't want to be the follow up guy taking the report when bad guy pops up from a supposedly "cleared" area. Ask me how I know, lol. Beats any other rush, that's for sure lol.

Lmao...fuck that shit...that's why we left there. And that's for LA strip....aka Torrance mailing address. I dont get it man. Who the fuck affords those places too and moves there? Everything seems old down there too. Only place I'd consider down there would be South Torrance...I'd imagine those prices are nuts.

The one I am working on in South Torrance will sell for around 2 mill when done. A new one on same block went for 3mill in Riviera. Crazy south Torrance house my Dad built when we were kids is probably 1.2 . Realtor just sold a fixer for 900k same area. That one I just fixed up 3 b 2b rented for $5200 a month by rocket ship park.

It's getting crazy, the one on the corner across from me just sold for $1.2. My parents are still in P.V. and thought the neighbors up the street were insane for listing at $1.5, I'll bet it goes for more.

Sorry about your truck getting stolen.

Beverly Hills even has a police dept for a reason as well.

The only sub station I know of is a few blocks south of PCH headed up to the country club and reservoir. I'm pretty sure that's still Lomita, but the border between Torrance and Lomita is zigs and zags a bit. The only way I can tell is by looking at the color of the street signs.

i don't know if it was a sub station or not but I could see the lighted signed from the street when the police arrived I remember because it took them 30 minutes to get there, they might have not come from there but I saw the lighted sign and I wasn't drinking lol! I could have swore it said sheriff and not police.

any update on the shooting?
I was born and raised a few blocks west of the mall. Spent my first 24 years living, schooling, and working West of the mall. Never liked going East of it.
watched them build it. Left in 84.

My wife just called asking if there was more to this on the news. She said there are choppers in the air and Carson is shut down near the mall. I can't believe there is still that much going on unless they found something.

All I know, is that my last apartment in Hawthorne didn't have the address painted on the roof in 10 foot letters when I lived there. Two blocks from the mall. (which also wasn't there, at the time)
