By Dr. Lisette Bauersachs Santa Monica
How did Santa Monica turn into a gang-infested city? Tuesday night, while I was tucking my children into bed, another family’s child was shot and killed in Santa Monica. I am saddened, outraged and want this community to take action. Santa Monica should be able to protect its children better than this. It is time that this violence ended. Where are our community leaders? Where is the outrage? This must end now!
