Watch all those South LA losers storm the police commission because of Devin Brown shooting. Naji Ali and Tony Mohammed who got into a big fight together both positioning themselves for the limelight. They will demand, threaten to burn down the city and their own community again, demand Ofcr. get fired and act like a bunch of uneducated, over emotional morons like they always do.
Looks like many Angelenos are now storming the Midwest. Excerpts:
'Take this house and shove it'
More and more Americans are moving to get away from overheated housing markets.

NEW YORK(CNNMoney.com) - Many residents of high-priced housing markets around the country are cashing out and moving to more affordable areas...
The No. 1 reason cited by those who want to leave: The high cost of living. And the No. 1 area needing major improvement: Housing affordability.
On the other side of America, Hawaii faces a similar mindset -- two out of every five residents say they have considered leaving the islands because of the cost of housing, according to a poll co-sponsored by the Hawaii Business Roundtable and Pacific Resource Partnership.
There are other places that have been affected.
California suffers a net loss of about 100,000 residents a year to other states, according to Economy.com. In recent years, many have cashed out their rapidly appreciated homes and moved to Arizona, Washington, and Oregon.
But now that prices have climbed in those states as well, the latest trend is that Californians are turning to the Midwest, where spacious houses are available for half of the cost of similar space in Los Angeles...
but the weather sucks!
Where is Rocky?
Evictions in Venice
Tenants at Lincoln Place began to be removed by sheriff's deputies at 9 am today. Venice Paper says some residents were left empty-handed as locks on their units were changed. According to the paper's website, "The eviction action commenced one half hour before Judge Yaffe of Los Angeles Superior Court was to hear arguments from AIMCO, the owner of the 695-apartment complex, the City Attorney, and the 20th Century Architectural Alliance on an Appellate Court ruling that a public review of the conditions – including a "no evictions" clause – attached to AIMCO's plan to demolish and redevelop the 33-acre site still apply. Tenants have 15 days to arrange to get into their apartments to remove their possessions."
Oh, they're leavng because they can't afford houses? Damn, I thought it was because LAUSD was so bad.
Maybe that's just what Hertzberg and Riordan want us to think.....
Oops - I meant the mayor. Darn, did I say that out loud.
Well, you all know what I meant.
