Beschreibung
This park is overrun with a group of Nortenos who have a tent set up and litter all around it. They play loud music, drink and smoke tobacco all near a kid's play area, day after day. There is gang graffiti defacing several spots in the park, a concrete bench quite noticeably.
These fellas also stare long and hard at anyone walking through what they seem to think is their home. It is a public right to access city parks without being intimidated.

These young men in the upper park area by the kids' paly area are not norteños, nor even gang-affiliated. A group of Norteños are in the lower part of the park. The young meb in the upper area have an informal agreement with the true gang affiliated Norteño guys in the creek area to occupy different locations. The upper park group is Salvadorian. Their familes all fled the violence there. they are basically lost newcomers. They are trying to survive.
They are acting in ways that are disagreeable and threatening to neighbors, and inappropriate, such as not communicating friendliness, putting a tent near the kids' play area, making a disgusting mess every day around where they hang out, smoking weed, drinking, peeing in the park, etc. At Peralta Hacienda, we are making every effort to communicate with them and bring them into some kind of positive relationship with society and with the park. We are currently employing a former gang-involved staff member who is also Salvadorian, and this strategy is definitely working. He is a genius and we want to employ him permanently, but our operational allocation from the City is just one one-hundredth that of the Oakland Museum and one thirtieth that of the African American Museum and Library, so we have no funds for staffing. We are hoping against hope that Councilmember Gallo can come up with discretionary funds to hire expert staff to help solve this
problem in a way that avoids the prision pipeline for these youth who have already lived ten lives in El Salvador and on their journeys north.

The employee is compassionate but he is not a "heinous" otherwise all the bad behaviors you mentioned would have stopped-they have not-they are a part of everyday in the park. Most of the individuals have red clothing of some sort so I'm not convinced that are not gang-affiliated.
