Enrique Deltoro Sr. DOB 08/23/1971 is a documented, validated Livas Norteno gang member in the city of Livingston. In speaking with a former full time sworn police officer for the Livingston Police Department, Enrique Deltoro has been a member of the “Livas” Norteno criminal street gang going back to the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. In February of 2016 Enrique Deltoro allegedly assaulted and threatened a drop out (former) gang member, in violation of 242 PC (Battery), 136.1(c) PC (Victim/Witness intimidation) 422 PC (Criminal Threats) and 186.22 PC (a gang enhancement).

The second world war (WWII) was one of the most widespread and deadliest wars. This lasted for six years from 1939 to 1945. During this war, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany, causing the Holocaust. Because of this, more than fifty million military and civilians died. At the time, Elie Wiesel was fifteen years old when him and his family were forced to leave their home.

There were many conflicts, invasions, treaties, plans, etc. that were being executed between the years 1919-1940 after the end of WWI. I strongly agree with the idea that World War II had started before the year 1939. In 1932, the Chaco war broke out between Bolivia and Paraguay. In 1932 as well, Manchuria, China was invaded by Japan, and in 1935, Abyssinia, Ethiopia was invaded by Italy.

Almost 30 children were rescued off an island after their plane crashed about a month before on their return to England. They were returning on an airplane from a temporary boarding school that was designed like hundreds of others to avoid from involving children in this war. Ironically, this pack of children met their own misfortune. The boys were discovered very tattered and beat up, almost unrecognizable from their previous selves. Sadly, 2 boys perished on the island during this month, Simon Shayman and David Porkington.

Kalief Browder was only 16 when he was sent to Rikers Island, one of the cruelest juvenile prisons in the nation, for being accused of stealing a backpack but with no evidence to support. He spent around two years in solitary confinement which drove him to attempt suicide many times. He was abused every day by inmates and prison guards for no reason at all. In his three years he was waiting for a trial which should not have taken longer than six months to complete. His mother spoke out to the public, waiting for his justice to be repaid every day and for her sons return.

Marc was a very good man and patriot. Marc was a very supportive guy and firmly believed in what they were doing in Iraq. When needed Marc was willing to do anything for his teammates without hesitation. The song I found that I believe explains Marc is “American Soldier” by Toby Keith. The line that really portrays Marc is; “ I’m an American Soldier, and American, Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand, When liberty’s in jeopardy I will always do what’s right, I’m out here on the front lines”(Keith).

The person had to deal with death and the reality of war under the worst case scenario. Bob “Rat” Kiley was that soldier and one of the many soldiers that left something in the war. He had lost his friend Curt Lemon and that’s the first sign that the war has been turning to be painful for him. This coping mechanism for the death was to write letters to lemon’s sister and he shot a baby Water Buffalo. This coping mechanism is seen in the chapter “How to tell a true war story”, shows how he has been affected and explained the toll the war had taken on him.

World War II was a global war that covering every continent and most countries in the world. Starting in 1939 and continues until the end in 1945, although there were a conflicts began earlier.

Through the presence of women, the soldiers are frequently distracted from their current situation, molding the nature of serenity.
