Letters: Overwhelmed by fear and sadness, I hurt because I mourn Luis Garcia

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:04:55 GMT

Adults need to take student safety seriously, finallyWhen will adults take student safety seriously?My friend Luis Garcia lived with integrity. He always worked to be the best version of himself.Today, adults talk about safer schools and ending gun violence. Their words are seemingly filled with authority and integrity. Yet the best versions of these officials can be found in their talking points in the news and social media. Unfortunately, their words have no impact.At the beginning of this school year, police entered our school with semi-automatic weapons during an active shooter threat. With guns pointed at us, we evacuated and stood on the hot football field. As kids were crying and collapsing, I watched a school board member hand out water to onlookers across the street. He turned his back on traumatized kids while performing virtuous acts for adults.Our school had another lockdown a few days after my friend Luis was shot. A normalized event, but I no longer felt normal. Overwh...

Bitchin’ Metal at the Whisky

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:04:55 GMT

Bitchin’ Metal at the Whisky: ’80s metal band Bitch, lead by the inimitable Betsy Bitch, have changed since forming in 1980. The lineup has shifted, with only Betsy remaining from the original band. Of course, the scene on the Sunset Strip isn’t what it once was. And the group’s name, once seen as subversive, is now a symbol of reclaimed power for women — they’re taking the word back.“Being a woman in an all-boys club definitely got us more attention, so there are no regrets there,” Betsy told us in 2018. “It was definitely a positive thing and it got us noticed. The fact is that we could back it up with the songs and the talent and remain on the same level. It worked out well, and it got us the attention we needed at first to get people’s attention.”(Incidentally, there’s another artist with the same name, a singer/songwriter who was formerly part of a duo called Bitch & Animal).At the Whisky on Thursday night, the band Bitch was in fin...
