And they apparently mean it:

(07-09) 13:44 PDT DALY CITY — Two suspected members of the MS-13 gang have been arrested and a third is being sought in the Daly City slaying of a 21-year-old college student who was shot because his friends were wearing red – a color claimed by a rival gang – police said Thursday.

One of Moises Frias Jr.’s companions was wearing a red sweater, and another a red-and-white San Francisco 49ers cap, when their car was riddled with bullets near the Daly City BART Station on Feb. 19. Frias died before he could reach the hospital, and two of the other three young men in the car were wounded.

None of the victims had anything to do with gangs, investigators said.

“That’s very stupid thinking,” Moises Frias Sr. said after learning of the arrests. “They’re going to shoot him just because of that? Why don’t they just kill each other?”

The father said he would ask San Mateo County prosecutors to seek the death penalty in the killing, which he said devastated his family and made him fear for the safety of his surviving 18-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter.

“I would never expect something like this to happen in my life,” he said. “These guys, they destroyed my life, me and family, for nothing.”

Daly City police Detective Gregg Oglesby noted that Frias’ shooting was strikingly similar to the June 2008 killing of a San Francisco father, Tony Bologna, and his two sons in the Excelsior neighborhood. Prosecutors say another member of MS-13 – a subset of the Sureño gang, which claims the color blue – opened fire after mistaking one of the sons for a member of the rival Norteños, who claim red.

You may remember the Tony Bologna murders in which illegal alien Edwin Ramos shot dead Bologna and his two sons in a horrific incident made all the worse by the fact that Ramos was a frequent flier in the justice system who managed to avoid deportation even though he had a clear history of violence against both African-Americans and other Latinos. The widow of Bologna blamed Gavin Newsom’s 2007 directive to local cops not to give immigration status information to feds.

Now that case may also involve mistaken identity, and an imported culture of random violence left to fester by anti-assimilationist ghettoization policies that maintain immigrant populations as a permanent underclass. This has led to a targeting of African-Americans by Latino gang bangers as police and authorities cede control of immigrant areas, and now even wearing the “wrong” color can get you killed.

That sound you hear is civilization collapsing.
