The family of 14-year-old Jesse Romero, a Los Angeles gang member who shot at, and was ultimately killed by the police, say the armed gang banger was a “good kid”.

APPARENTLY NOT!! The criminal was caught in the act of a crime, and then pulled out a gun and started shooting at the police. The police were forced to return fire, and kill the gang banger.

“Black Lives Matter” Idiots March For Dead Gang Banger Jesse Romero Who Was Killed After Shooting At Police

Gang banger Jesse Romero’s parents KNEW That their son was involved with gangs, and carried a gun, so they should be held accountable for her son’s crimes.

“Yeah he was in the gangs and everything but he was a good kid. He was smart, he was friendly. He did good in school. Very respectful, never disrespected anyone. Always quiet. He was a kid. Kids are dumb, they think it makes them cool or whatever, he didn’t deserve this.” – Jesse Romero’s Mother Teresa Dominguez

Maybe if the gang banger had better parents, who actually cared enough to keep her son out of gangs, and told him to respect the police and not carrying a gun, he would still be alive, but sadly that’s not the case.

The Black Lives Matter movement has a new victim: 14-year-old Jesse Romero, who was shot and killed by police Tuesday evening after being caught writing graffiti in Los Angeles. The only problem: Romero also allegedly fired a revolver at police.

The Los Angeles Times reports on a “Justice for Jesse” vigil for Romero Wednesday, which drew support from some local residents — but also left some standing on the sidelines:

At the police station, the crowd quietly listened to speakers. The rally expressed solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Earlier in the evening, Vera had called on Latinos and blacks to stand together against police killings.

The marchers then made their way east on First Street, turning north on Breed Street to the place where Romero was shot.

Some residents stepped out of their single-story homes and apartments when they heard the loud chants.

Consuelo Ramos, 44, watched the crowd pass. She said she had mixed feelings about the deadly shooting.

“They say the boy was armed and that he fired first at police,” Ramos said. If he was unarmed, she said she would view the incident differently.

In presenting information about the incident to the public on Wednesday, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) cited eyewitnesses who saw Romero firing a gun. They had not yet taken the officers’ statements or studied body camera footage, but they recovered an old, loaded revolver at the scene, the LAPD said, according to local KTLA news.

Local public radio station KPCC cited Romero’s family and neighbors. One confirmed that he was in gangs, and may have carried a gun, but said it did not matter because he was a “kid”:

Teresa Dominguez identified herself as Romero’s mother. “He was a good boy,” she said. “He didn’t do anything violent.” The family has been living in Boyle Heights for seven years. Dominguez works as a vegetable packer.

“Yeah he was in the gangs and everything but he was a good kid,” said Lourdes Miranda, who knew Romero.“He was smart, he was friendly. He did good in school. Very respectful, never disrespected anyone. Always quiet.” Whether or not he had a gun, “he was a kid,” she said, adding that a lot of kids in the area carry guns.

“Kids are dumb, they think it makes them cool or whatever,” Miranda said. But ultimately, “he didn’t deserve this.”
