I had to re-instate the gang violence. No one wants to recognize this issue that has gone way to far.
And I had to delete it. You'll need to restate it in your own words, without using the "we" format, and cite sources. Also, see Neutral point of view. RickK 09:35, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)
Shouldn't something about the Hell's Angels be mentioned here?
- If you have a source, go ahead and add whatever you think is appropriate. Be bold! Cheers, -Willmcw 22:18, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
- The official website, and out own Hells Angels articles both say that the HAMC was founded in nearby Fontana. Is there also a special connection to San Bernardino? -Willmcw 22:29, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
I think that the neutrality of this page needs to be evaluated. I am not a San Bernardino resident, and I don't know a great deal about the city--but the first paragraph is VERY negative with no proven basis. -r&f
- The city has a huge presence of poor (low income) white gangs and white supremacist organizations: The Aryan Low Riders based in the California Men's Colony-Chino State Prison, the California Golden Knights of the Ku Klux Klan headquarters in Fontana, the National Alliance of Southern California in Riverside, and the National Association for the Advancement of White People California HQ seem to gain a foothold in the San Bernardino-Riverside area (the Inland Empire). The region has a serious hate crime problem by members of mostly white gangs and hate groups react to middle-class blacks in formerly "all white" suburbs, Hispanic immigrants moved in large numbers to the area and many local Jews, Asian-Americans and openly gay (homosexuals) people are harrassed, verbally insulted, physically attacked or their property vandalized in high number in San Bernardino than anywhere else in Southern California. + 71.102.53.48 (talk) 01:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Porposing a page split
the article is huge! 63k. I'm intending to put the history of San Bernardino, which is about half the article into a seperate article to bring down the size to somethin more reasonable for dial-up users. I'll allow a week for discussion or silence before doing so.--Acebrock 01:50, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- That sounds like a good plan. You might write a one-paragraph summary of the key events to leave behind. -Will Beback 21:14, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge in: Westside San Bernardino, California
It seems this subject belongs as part of this parent article. I realize there is a comment about this article having grown too large, but all of the content of the Westside article is unverified and any of it could be scrapped. I intend to make this redirect/merger in 14 days from today. Alan.ca 20:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, for the same reasons. The Westside article seems superfluous. --Scraimer 02:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's been more than 14 days, and you haven't done this, so I am doing it. But the Westside San Bernardino article is has serious issues, so I will add the text here and it can be added to the main page if anyone can find some citationns. Adam 16:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Almost half of San Bernardino's homicides are related or in connection to Gangs. The Western district a small neighborhood West of the I 215 FRWY, Is home to most of the city's well established gangs. The neighborhood boundaries are 5th street (South) I 215 (East) Highland Ave. (North) and California street (West).
Most of the neighborhoods within the area are controlled by at least 20 organized gangs. The most infamous Chicano gang in the City is the 7th Street Gang which also claims territory in the Western Distict. Some of the cities most notorious African American gangs claim territory here which include the Delmann Height Bloods Gang, And the California Gardens Crips Gang. In total there are an estimated 13 organised African American gangs most of which are several sects of the Bloods and Crips gang which originated in Los Angeles, California and migrated to San Bernardino and other Southern California cities during the later 1970s and early 1980s.
The area has been plagued by very high crime rates since the Crack-Cocaine era in the mid-1980s. During that decade homicide rates soared in the District prompting numerous calls for peace between the local gangs that where causing so much blood-shed over turf and Dope spots. In recent years Several California Gang Injunctions were issued for the local area gangs to quell the gangs activities, these state ordered injunctions curved crime considerably droping Homicide and Crime rates by as much a 50% in the area.
The area is heavily populated by African Americans and Mexican American families. It is impovershed with Median household incomes ranging between $11,000 to $23,498(1999). The community has limited viable family structures, a 30 percent high school graduation rate, few jobs, and a high rate of youth and family violence. It also has the highest rate of infant mortality in the state, the highest sexually transmitted disease rate for teenagers in the country, and its most poverty-stricken neighborhoods continue on a cycle of despair and apathy.
[edit] Downtown San Bernardino
Could somebody look that article over. I removed all the copyvio I could find but I suspect the rest of it may be as well. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:04, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Oberjuerge is notable?
Why is this non-notable person listed? He is an editor of one section of the local paper. If he is notable, then what about all the other sections of the paper? Is the Living section editor notable, too? I'm suggesting deleting this person from the section....Mracew (talk) 05:00, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
