We are shut out of our Auto Center, can't get to our tools and can't get in to release customers cars that were still inside, one of the cars fell off the hoist. Needless to say the customers were pretty pissed, but it was out of our control. Building inspectors and other specialist had to go in the buildings to see just how structurally sound the buildings were to renter and remove things.

The Six Inch Killaz story returns soon to the draGnet.
When James E. Davis became Los Angeles Police Chief in 1926, he formed a 50-man "gun squad" announcing that "the gun-toting element and the rum smugglers are going to learn that murder and gun-toting are most inimical to their best interest." He added that he would "hold court on gunmen in the Los Angeles streets; I want them brought in dead, not alive and will reprimand any officer who shows the least mercy to a criminal."
In addition to stressing marksmanship, Davis sought successfully to make LAPD officers known worldwide as firearm experts. He initiated the dragnet system for tracking down wanted criminals, stressed the value of statistics for determining crime trends, and fired more than 240 officers for "bad conduct."
Possible attempted car jacking.
The driver of a Honda Accord panicked when some thugs in another car rolled up on him & his son pointing guns at him so he stepped on the gas and flew down the street not realizing his light was red till too late. Thankfully everyone involved received minor injuries.
While in my back yard helping my handyman with some work he was doing I heard a lot of cars blowing their horns right before the crash but when my air compressor came on little did I know that was the moment of impact. The driver of a white Ford van going north on the south bound side of Crenshaw Blvd. struck 2 cars with the Lincoln and it’s occupants receiving the brunt of the force from the collision. The couple that were in the Lincoln had to be freed from their vehicle with the Jaws of Life by the L.A.F.D. The crash which took place around 2:25p.m.Tuse. 9/30/15 at the intersection of 54th street & Crenshaw blvd in the Angeles Mesa area near Leimert Park of South L.A. The driver of the gray Cadillac was uninjured and the driver of the van and driver and passenger of the Lincoln are reported to be in critical condition per NBC News. The investigation was reported as still on going to determine why the van was traveling the wrong way.
I had a clear shot no one in my lane behind me and I thought I would do a little drive by shooting ... with my camera of course. So I slow down to a crawl the train engineer slows way down and starts blowing his horn. I'm thinking you are kidding me...really? If I was going to do harm .... it would be at... never mind don't want to egg someone on that all ready has the same idea but really wants to do something evil. Earlier in the day I was chased off a public side walk for taking pictures of a movie scene prep work by the film crew. Posting those photos next. OOOH THEY TOLD ME TO DELETE MY PHOTOS!! I told them if you don't want to be seen and pictures to be taken then put up a tarp so no one can see what you are doing.
Demolition after Implosion to weaken the structure for final tear down. If you gotta see your ponies race you still have Del Mar and Santa Anita race tracks to go see them run. Now that this demolition is taking place people are hopeful that we'll get a NFL team coming back to the L. A. area. Hmmm foot ball, golf, tennis, baseball.... sorry I rather watch grass grow, what we need is a drag strip, a motocross park, monster truck stadium a low rider park and show car arena all rolled into one.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Wishing on a Star is a Eco-kinetic solar sculpture created by Charles Dickson out of his Compton art studio. He was my art teacher back in the day when I was a teen attending his classes in Watts and Compton. This beautiful work is made with many discarded items from engine and automotive suspension parts to rebar and computer and kitchen utensils and other scrap metal and glass.
