How refreshing, Whitey is not being blamed for a change.
Via KTLA:
Actor Danny Trejo was among those who spoke out at a community meeting Wednesday night that was held days after a caught-on-video lunchtime brawl that involved dozens of students at Sylmar High School.
Trejo, a San Fernando resident, confronted school officials at the charged meeting, accusing them of not listening to students.
“You are so wrapped up in whatever you do, that you’re not listening to them,” the “Machete” star said as students, parents and guardians erupted in cheers.
The actor pointed at the crowd and told the administrators they would come up with a solution.
“I’m so fed up — I’m sorry … I know you guys are doing such a good job. But you know what? You’ve got your heads in the sand,” he continued. “You have a black – brown situation … you either got to let everybody go or arrest a couple of people.”
He then thanked them for listening, and walked back to his seat as the boisterous crowd against burst into applause.
Trejo’s remarks came two days after the melee at the high school’s campus, which is located at 13050 Borden Ave.
It’s not clear what prompted the massive fight, but one student told KTLA it may have been tied to an attack related to prom that occurred over the weekend.
A number of community members and students attended the meeting that was held to address gang and racial concerns stemming from the fracas, the Los Angeles Times reported.
