A Compton-area man was mauled to death by 13 pit bulls kept in a suspected illegal backyard breeding operation likely tied to dog-fighting. This tragedy highlights the urgent need for communities to report unlicensed kennels, animal cruelty, and dangerous breeding sites to protect public safety and stop violent underground activities.

The Citizens’ Coalition notes the County’s report showing a 35% drop in illegal street takeovers in Los Angeles County Supervisorial District 2, with even greater declines in Compton-area communities. But this progress is not enough. Street takeovers still endanger residents, and the goal must be complete elimination. Every remaining incident is unacceptable and demands stronger action.

On July 14, 2025, coordinated street takeovers in Long Beach and South Los Angeles led to looting, vandalism, and business devastation. J & G Market, El Super, Walgreens, and others were hit. The Citizens Coalition for Change condemned the lawlessness and called for urgent action: deployment of surveillance tech, real-time monitoring, facial recognition, stricter laws, and fast-track courts. “Let’s take back our communities.”

Citizens Coalition for Change urges the City of Compton to strongly consider a city-wide ban on the sale and use of fireworks in Compton.
