Once the homeless are dealt with those crime stats will go down in Venice. The barrier is thoseRead More throw back activists on the VNC that promote the homeless agenda so they can further their causes. Groups like the VSA and residents and business owners are starting to ban together to solve these problems and eventually will so we can have a cleaner safer Venice Beach in spite of these radical ultra left wing fringe groups.

"visit the LAPD Crime Mapping website" No, Crime Mapping is owned by The Omega Group.Read More It is no wonder that Patch is going out of business, they do not hire actual reporters!

What would the crime rate be if they actually included all of Venice?

4 block radius was closed off. Traffic was going crazy on the residential streets trying to getRead More around the closures. Not one news station was there to cover the news and let the people living there in on what was happening... Good job journalists and press!

Good going LAPD in getting those homeless criminals.

I drove Venice Eastbound at 6am Sunday Morning, about 20 Tow Trucks towing cars, lots of upsetRead More people I bet Sunday morning, looking at the signs or lack of them, the City (As Normal) did a bad job of notification. The one good thing, Cal Trans filled the potholes on the West Bound side all day Saturday, not a weekday, an "overtime" Saturday.

Crossed Venice Blvd at Abbott Kinney yesterday morning and it looked like a scene out of the oldRead More film Americathon, that was done in the late-1970s and, set in LA in the near future when the world is running out of oil and the government is going broke. One of those low-budget, cult-ish pieces like the more recent "Idiocracy" that turn out to be more prophetic than expected... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFyVs_766S4

Thank you, Karla, we've made the fix!

That really sets the bar for aggressive panhandling that is part of the training at 7-11 stores. IRead More avoid 7-11's as a whole, it always seems that they have the most aggressive panhandlers out in front.

I think you will have to ask Steve that question. Certainly, the Ocean Park Community Center inRead More Santa Monica does not operate that way, housing homeless individuals as far east as La Brea, from what its director tells me.
Wylie Coyote April 16, 2013 at 08:26 pm
Thanks Mark for the education. I am puzzled Mark, if Steve Clare from what I have seen is committedRead More to housing the unhoused, why would he be opposed to building or moving his operation to a more cost effective base in the city? Why is he so stuck on Venice when it's about the unhoused.
Don Fuller April 10, 2013 at 01:37 am
We to see more enforcement when it comes to the homeless criminals hiding out in Venice Beach.

Sounds like she has people that love her and care about her - but she chose to move here and live onRead More the street. Of course there could be life situation that we're not privy to but on face value she doesn't seem to be 'truly needy'. Folks moving here by choice to live the life and party are the ones that are making life harder for the truly down and out that you want to help.

A runaway in Venice?!
Scott Fairbanks Lunetta April 6, 2013 at 04:44 pm
Thank GOD she is ok!!! I was sooooo worried !!
Sean March 19, 2013 at 04:08 pm
how much does a councilman or supervisor get annually to decorate their office? 10 years ago its wasRead More in the millions!
Dale March 19, 2013 at 11:48 am
This is so unsat! The police having to beg for their staion to be repaired. A few of the Mayor'sRead More aid can afford to be loaned to Pscific.

The driver Jill Rose needs to go to jail for murder period.
Judy Lan February 13, 2013 at 12:13 pm
the driver of the car that the victim was assisting wrote this poem:Read More http://kathcim.blogspot.ca/2013/02/you-cant-buy-life.html please pray that she will be able to heal. please pray that the victim's family and friends will be able to heal. please pray that the impaired driver will recover and learn from this experience so she can change her life for the better.

Thanks Leslie. I now don't have to rely on the so-called Venice-Mar Vista Patch to find out aboutRead More crimes in Mar Vista. Seems that since they joined the two towns into one Patch there's not much info about Mar Vista.
leslie friedman February 27, 2013 at 09:43 pm
There is also SpotCrime.com, where you can sign up and they send you a list every couple of days ofRead More crime within three miles of where you live.

I bet they never expected this kind of exposure for that pillowtop mattress set.

Dorner is Emmanuel Goldstein. Those of you who have read Orwell's "1984" know exactly whatRead More I'm talking about. Those of you who haven't should because this whole thing has Big Brother's handwriting all over it.
