My family have lived here for 4 generations. My great grandparents got a house here after working hard back in the 70’s. During the time they have lived here, Gangs started showing up all over town and they killed my grandpa’s brothers and cousins. My grandpa couldn’t get a descent education without getting tied with the gang at school or else they will mess with yo familia. Then my grandpa opened up a car shop. Again, they still need to pay up to local gangs in order to be left alone. The money used for the shop is remortgage from my great grandparents house. My grandpa couldn’t pay off the loan in his lifetime cus my grandma got sick, then my father when he was young, then his sister got pneumonia, and it was like that for a while. My father took over house, loan, and business. My father was a good man but the prices to keep the business, rising tax, stupid LP officials, family and college for his kids he just couldn’t make it and a dumbass cholo shot him while working late (6 pm) at his shop! Later on, we found out that the cholo shot the wrong guy. My father died for nothing!!! When it was my turn to take care of the family and the business, I sold everything the house and shop. Thank god for my papa I got a good training and got a good job and not deal with people in La Puente. I am of a Latino heritage and that place don’t represent our people well. La Puente latinos are just messed up people who wants Mexican gangs, rapist and UN licensed body shops to be a rule of the land. I can’t even start with the police and the corrupt government. Don’t be like my family. It took us 4 generations to get the F out! (If you do decide to live in LP, search the corruption file for public officials since the 70’s)
