- P.S. Queston: Why were there no Italian or other white groups arrested in Operation Pirate Town? These ethnic groups are guilty of the same offenses in Pedro. Any1 from there knows. But it always seems like Chicano & Blacks are the bad guys. Now that your targets are supposedly gone what group of people will fill the void, the guns & drugs just won't disapear. Now maybe who, the Trutanich's run the show. IDK
