"Oakwood Toluca Hills has also been the scene of recent gang violence. On November 29th, 2016, a man’s body was found in the parking building of Oakwood’s apartment complex. Sources at the Los Angeles Police Department told CBS Los Angeles that the deceased had been a member of an Armenian criminal gang and was apparently executed. The main Armenian street gang in Los Angeles is known as “Armenian Power” or West Side AP XIII and is known for engaging in kidnapping, racketeering, extortion and robbery. Curiously, in 2014 one of their members appeared in Syria alongside a member of LA Hispanic street gang Puro Sur 13 purportedly fighting for the Syrian government and Hezbollah. The violent gang activity around Oakwood’s apartments does not reinforce its image as a friendly location for a world-famous child acting school."
That's from the OP's article. The archive link is to the article source. Basically George Webb has been following the organ trafficking pretty hard and it's very clear that many are coming out of Syria. Possible link to Hollywood here through this Armenian Gang? Anyone know anything about them? I did a google search and it seems that this gang is pretty powerful in the area and has been referred to as the LA mafia.
It's possible. Organ harvesting is one of the ways these groups can benefit financially from trafficking.
The weird thing about this group is that they only number a few hundred members. That's incredibly small for a major LA gang and it indicates to me that they must be connected to a larger network somehow.
This strikes me as worth following up on. I'm not the best researcher but I do what I can. I agree, if they're only a few hundred members yet are being described as one of the most feared gangs in LA something is up. I have to imagine trying to investigate them in LA would be really dangerous so tread lightly anyone who wants to do ground work.
Have to imagine it's not just the organs but also the kids and other humans too. Potential line for terrorist import as well?
I won't argue that you can get a lot done with a laptop. But I also would point out how much can be done boots on the ground. I really want to stop this.

They're brought a lot of terrorists in.

Anyone looking to research this stuff can get a lot done from their laptop though. No need to put yourself in danger.
