Brent Hopins over at The Daily News’ “It’s a Crime” LA Crime Blog has a series on The 77th precinct, the location of (at least) 25 of the 177 violent deaths this year in the City of Angels.

Just after I stumbled across this piece on the one of the dark corners of our fine city, I read on the LAPD’s blog that another man had been shot, while sleeping on his front porch.

As much as I love this city, it’s not all Sidewalk Cafes and Art Show openings.
