it's really a shame that whenever there is a stabbing people jump to the assumption that its gang related. Honestly Santa Barbara how pathetic an ignorant does that make our community look.There is no doubt that Santa Barbara does have its problems.But don't relate every act of violence to gang activity. Or classify victims on the sole fact they have tattoos, or have a shaved head. Plus the fact i know the guy he was far from gang related.
