3 Gang Members Sentenced Following Retaliation Stabbing JUN/12/2017 LOS SANTOS — Three members of an East Vinewood street gang were sentenced to a combined 25 years for their roles in the 2016 stabbing of Bloods-affiliated gang rival Treyvaun Pope after the latter allegedly partially blinded one of the attackers in a previous assault. In separate hearings, US District Judge Randall Archuleta sentenced Soghomon Yeghoyan, 21, a/k/a "AP Pirate", of East Vinewood to 10 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $21,395 in restitution. Judge Archuleta also sentenced Robert Grigoryan, 20, of East Vinewood to 8 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $8,038 in restitution. Finally, Matous Garabedian, 22, a/k/a "AP Rapid", of Temple to 7 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $7,248 in restitution. Yeghoyan, Grigoryan, and Garabedian – all members of the East Vinewood-based Armenian Power (AP13) street gang – all pleaded guilty to one count of assault with a deadly weapon as well as breach of the peace. The harsh sentencing reflects the current Los Santos Mayor Jonathan Schrader's tough-on-crime, pro-police stance for which he won re-election into his second term earlier this year. In response to the sentencing, Mayor Schrader commented: "The sentencing of these individuals shows the need now, more than ever, for us to support our brave law enforcement officers in their selfless struggle to stamp out violence in our streets, whether committed against civilians or other criminals."

You already know what the problem is and how to solve it, you just have no power to. The fight was lost the moment that player attempts to regulate bad roleplay were labelled as "toxic". You either learn to accept and avoid the fedora-toting mallrats that run the economy and find your niche or crash out trying. I don't believe that those steering the ship have had much of a passion for or really any understanding of the tenets of roleplay for years now, even preceding the server's relaunch. While it's great to see there's still a concerted effort to keep the server alive through incremental updates, those of us who are here stay for lack of any viable alternative and not because we love what it has become. We're still making the same complaints we were 10 years ago, just more so because of the smaller player base, and will continue to do so until we get tired of the circus of illiterate, ChatGPT-reliant drones and DM squads hiding behind the guise of "gritty" street gangs... or something changes. I'll let you figure out which of those outcomes is more likely. To paraphrase what I said in Busato's thread a few months back: enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Under the "totality‑of‑the‑circumstances" test of Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213 (1983), probable cause exists where there is a fair probability that evidence of a crime will be found in a particular place. Affidavits must be interpreted in a "commonsense" manner that recognizes the training and experience of law‑enforcement affiants. United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. 102 (1965). As the affidavit below demonstrates, the convergence of independently corroborated surveillance observations, CSLI data, undercover recordings, and victim‑witness statements establishes far more than a "fair probability" that evidence of the enumerated offenses will be found at the Target Locations. Courts routinely uphold search warrants for the residences of suspected gang members where surveillance shows the member commuting between crime scenes and the residence. See, e.g., People v. Camarella (1991) 54 San.An.3d 592. CSLI and physical tailing place each SUBJECT at his respective residence within two hours of the Havana Club assault. Given the short temporal proximity and the inherent mobility of firearms, there is a fair probability evidence will be stored at these homes.
