The truck that caused the accident. 9 car wreck injuring 10 people at Crenshaw and Vernon in Leimert Park area of Los Angeles. Case of someone just driving too fast, I wonder if texting was involved.
It looked like something unrelated to the shooting seemed to go down. A few seconds after I took the picture a knuckle head in a car tried to drive around the barricade, and seemed confused as to why the Sheriff was getting pissed, LOL.
"We want to be free... Free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man!" It started out with old classics and lowriders and Harleys converging on the bridge and a car show broke out. Then some knuckle head brought unnecessary attention to the whole thing by lighting a smoke canister / bomb. From the distance I guess it looked as if some one was doing a burn out. The L.A.P.D. comes and breaks up the show. But as the photos prove the SHOW still went on.... UNDER THE BRIDGE.
The equally-straight-laced and "by the book" nephew of Joe Friday must work with his more laid-back partner to solve a mystery.

It was the first week of school after summer and some knuckle heads do a drive by on a group of teens walking down the street across from Crenshaw High. Two were hit but thankfully no one was killed.
The cowardly perpetrators that shot this young man don't need a reason.... Pay back.... mistaken identity.... wearing the wrong colors.... walking by your self..... walking in a group.....maybe he looked like a rival... so lets just Blast him any way..... what you looking at?..... hey lets not forget the young deaf woman and young deaf man that were gunned down when they were signing one another because the dumb ass thug thought they were throwing up gang signs. Our justice system is too slow, we need to execute these cold blooded murderers, execute them even if their victim lives so they can't contaminate the rest of the planet, OHH I'm sorry did I say something politically incorrect? Ask me if I care.
Based on the radio program that aired over 21 years (1936 - 1957), the Gang Busters TV series had a short run in 1952 on a bi-weekly schedule alternating with Dragnet. Although both shows did well in the ratings, when Dragnet production reached weekly capability, Gang Busters was dropped.
DC Comics published 67 issues of the comic book from 1947 to 1958.
And to think I use to sit in this parking structure some days and eat lunch in my car.
The epicenter, Northridge and my place of work, Sears Automotive, I had to work at another location for a spell until the place was up and running. Customers were pretty angry to say the least coz there were a few cars left over for repair work to be done the next day. I think they were stuck in there for almost 3 weeks.

Found some more photos taken with my old ROLLEI ROLLIFLEX 35 MM SLR of the '92 L. A. Riots, laying in a box. I can kick myself that I didn't sneak a few shots with my camera while the mayhem was going on. I was busy ducking and dodging and running red lights to avoid trouble. Almost all the pictures you see were taken on the third day of the riots when the authorities started to gain control.
I tip my hat to the journalist that were in the thick of it, they got some fantastic shots.

The iconic building, completed in 1928, stands as a classic example of Art Deco architecture. It has been featured in countless movie and television shows, most famously in the show Dragnet.
It is still in use today, housing the offices for the Mayor and the powerful Los Angeles City Council.
Burden had Metropolis II's cars specially manufactured in China to his custom specifications — unlike Metropolis I, which just used off-the-shelf Hot Wheels toys. "The original toy cars have very thin axles that wear out too fast," says Burden. Given that Metropolis II is supposed to run three days a week for the next 10 years, how will it avoid the "wearing out" problem? Burden's no-nonsense answer: "We made a lot of cars."
