The saga of Shankster Gangster

Posted by Brad A. Greenberg


Brent Hopkins, a good friend of mine and the lead reporter behind the “Exposed: Porn in the Valley” series I contributed to, had a great read in yesterday’s LA Daily News.

Somewhere between the time David Steinberg helped Chris Walsh move out of his apartment and the day Walsh ended up shot five times and stuffed in a trash can, their friendship went south.

Or so went the dramatic tale that opened Steinberg’s murder trial Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court downtown. Once described by his former attorney as a kiddie gangster, the 39-year-old Granada Hills man is now balding in a rumpled gray suit, accused of executing Walsh, his former housemate, in 2003.

The prosecution opened its case against Steinberg and co-defendant Jeffrey Weaver, 37, promising a story involving a member of the Nazi Lowriders prison gang and “people with dark hearts.”

 

That neo-Nazi informant is Tony Shane Wilson, AKA Shankster Gangster, a bombastic bigot with swastikas tattooed on his earlobes. Anyone want to claim that Steinberg’s being sunk by anti-Semites?

Instead of insinuating that David Steinberg is “being sunk by anti-Semites”, why aren’t you more concerned about the fact that David Steinberg, a Jew, was intimately associated with Nazi Lowriders?

I was being facetious when I asked if anyone wanted to claim Steinberg was “being sunk by anti-Semites.” I was curious if anyone would make so bold a claim.

It was my brother Christopher who was murdered. Although Shane Wilson testified against the principal shooter,Steinberg, he did so only to save his own skin. He left my brother with four bullets in his head to die. Had he the courage to call paramedics the Coroner testified that my brother would have survived. Instead he cowardly fled and returned the next day to help Steinberg put the body in a trash barrel. Steinberg only tried to have Shane Wilson killed after he testified at the prelim. When I initially spoke to Shane Wilson he denied any involvement stating that he did not cooperate with the police. I told him, “Mark my words you hillbilly, white trash MFer, you’re gonna sit on a witness stand and testify or you’re gonna ride a murder beef for the rest of your life.”  Ultimately, he chose to testify. While I appreciate that he testified, I have no illusions about his motives, which were only self-serving. He’s back in prison and I made sure he was in protective custody so he doesn’t get stabbed again. The bottom line, however, is that in criminal parlance he is nothing but a rat. His parole agent referred to him and his brother as “prison bred”. I heard he gets out soon but I expect it won’t be long before he’s back behind bars.
