Eric Garcetti Just F'd Up BIG TIME By Violating Matt Dowd's Civil Rights
(Pictured: LA City Council Prez Eric Garshady)Where's a strong gust of wind when you need it?
I thought Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti was supposed to be so smart. But he sure just handed Matt Dowd a civil lawsuit during public comment this morning.
Matt turned in a speaker card, "Joe Public" and had his face covered up because he wanted to discuss some sensitive issues -- and the Brown Act allows people to protect their identity for this reason. (In case you want to speak out, without fear of repercussion.)
Well Mr. Smart Guy (Eric Garcetti) likes to live in his own little perfect world -- pretending these protections do not exist, and Eric is a powerful guy from a powerful family...and if he wants to make the decision to ignore the "Joe Public" moniker and call "Matt Dowd", then Eric Garcetti will do just that. And he did just that. Instead of calling the name on the card (Joe Public), Eric decided that it must be Matt Dowd (maybe he recognized the handwritting or saw Matt hand in the card) -- and he called "Matt Dowd" instead of the name written down on the card. And then the crybaby Council President asked Matt to remove the scarf covering his face "so people could see who was speaking". SORRY YOU DUMB RHODES SCHOLAR!
WHERE IS IT WRITTEN ON ANY U.S. DOCUMENT THAT YOU HAVE TO SHOW YOUR FACE DURING FIRST AMENDMENT SPEECH? (Please show us!)
You must be the dumbest Rhodes Scholar ever! (Or else you are fully aware of all of this and you simply don't care, because Eric Garcetti always gets what he wants. Ethically, or not! YOU COWARD!)
Thanks to Dennis Zine for replacing Garshady after this debacle. Eric is probably crying to someone about what just happened and figuring out how to avoid a lawsuit. (YOU WILL BE NAMED, ERIC!)
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO LEARN THESE MEETINGS AREN'T ABOUT YOU ERIC!
JUST CALL THE F*CKIN' NAME AS IT'S WRITTEN ON THE CARD AND KEEP YOUR SISSY-ASS OPINIONS TO YOURSELF.
DON'T OPEN YOUR CORRUPT MOUTH UNLESS SOMEONE IS IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
NO ONE CARES WHAT YOUR SNOBBY-ASS HAS TO SAY! FOLLOW THE LAW AND KEEP YOUR TRAP SHUT! THIS ISN'T LIKE DECIDING WHAT KIND OF WALLPAPER YOU PREFER IN YOUR OFFICE. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL TASTE. FOLLOW THE LAW AND KEEP YOUR TRAP SHUT. NOW A JUDGE IS GOING TO HAVE TO SLAM IT SHUT FOR YOU! (HA!)

Um, Zuma...
Lawsuit?
What are the damages?
Jack,
I don't know what the financial damages would be, but this is about civil rights and not allowing a single individual to enforce their own standard of (law). That's how lines are pushed back and rights are taken away from us. If it's true that Eric messed up for the reasons mentioned in the thread...then he should be found guilty in the court of law to prevent this in the future.
Who was that masked man?
According to the Brown Act:
So long as the body acts fairly with respect to the interest of the
public and competing factions, it has great discretion in regulating the time and manner, as distinguished from the content, of testimony by interested members of the public. (ยง 54954.3(b).)
Nowhere does it say that a member of the public can use a false identity to speak. And with the covering of the face...maybe it has more to do with understanding "Mr. Public" than anything else.
Good luck trying to sue...you'll be laughed out of the court room.
Oh thanks! You say right here, "as distinguished from the content, of testimony."
Garcetti's crybabying didn't have anything to do with content or testimony...just his panty wad.
And YES, it DOES say you can use a "false" name as you put it. I've been using Zuma Dogg all this time, remember? But someone cannot use "Joe Public?"
All you have to do is put down a "moniker" for identifying purposes of calling up the speaker.
So YES, it DOES say you can do that!
And ZD hopes he interpreted the meaning of "as distinguished from the content, of testimony" properly.
(If it is actually saying "without regard to content", please clarify.)
(Zuma I think Mailander was agreeing with you)
But ZD -- "Joe Public" can be anyone...
there's only one Zuma Dogg. And I guarantee that if Garcetti called you by your real name...you couldn't sue him for that either.
Zuma --
Where does it say you can use a false name and the governing body, if it knows the true name, has to call on the fake name?
So, would GArcetti make an Islamic woman remove her face covering? Or does he pick and choose?
Sorry Zuma but your boy Dowd is an idiot! He's not you, sounds uneducated, is a grown man with NO JOB, acts like a girl and just cries and complains, is nothing but negative and soooooo many people don't like his attitude. He can't put two sentences together and women hate any man who is as weak as Matt sounding like a crybaby.
Does Eric Garcetti allow big brested Filipina low class, slutty weather reporters speak while wearing a bikini?
No, they don't have the equipment he prefers.
1:06pm,
you need to do a little research. garcetti is not allowed to call me anything but the name (zuma dogg) i put on the card. if you think he was allowed to call me by my real name, don't you think he would have, after the way that empty headed Tom LaBong cried like a little girl over it. (Hey Tom...don't try and get intellectual with me son, stick to
o giving football analogies. Otherwise, next time we can sit down and I can school your ass.
But besides LaBong being an empty headed idiot...(got off on a tangent) -- you are wrong 1:06pm.
They let a KKK guy into the meeting the other day. He wore a hood but he did have a nice name tag. He looks like he's trick or treating.

Wait a minute here:
Is this the guy who censors not only his threads but others' on this blog?
Is this the crybaby loser who cannot stand a word of criticism about his dress, smell, education or other noxious traits?
Is this the whining, gutless, balless Dave Elliott telling others they must listen and accept what is offered, but Elliott cannot take an ounce of truth?
Go take your loser attitude somewhere else, whining boy.
Garcetti will laugh you out of court and the judge will likely assess your Auzzie pal for costs and expenses. Maybe you can hock your rat trap van to help him out.
The two of you are a joke.
Go get a life.
4:40pm,
So you are saying Garshady is allowed to change the name printed on the card and call whatever name he fucking feels like and tell people to remove a bandana from their face...and that this is not a slippery slope?
Just checking, noodle-arm, pussy-ass loser. Sorry you lose sleep over me.
YOU LOSE AGAIN, because you are wasting your time commenting on me, when this is about a sissy-coward enforcing his own set of delusional non-laws.
(And I hate the style of glass frames you wear!)
What RICO suit?
he was named as a defendant in a federal rico suit if you check the fed website. but in that case, it probably just went with the territory as councilmember...so i took that part off of the post, cause i don't wanna make it about that, even though it is true that he was named as a defendant. (i was extra cranky when i posted it, so i don't mind changing it to "snobby-ass" since this isn't about the rico thing.
Isn't it a shame that morons like Matt Dowd and Michael Hunt have completely ruined public comment for many. They behave like school children and Matt acts as if he's some rock star. Look in the mirror Matt and then look down and try and find that very very very small thing between your legs. You behave so horribly because you are bitter you weren't genetically or normally given your manhood. You take it out on the world.
Pleasssseeee
HUIZAR'S WINTER WONDERLAND. Should be more like
HUIZAR'S F--K_D UP LAND
Huizy is the laughing stock of the community.
no comment
The city council and mayor need to be reminded:
The best minds are NOT in government. If any were, business would steal them away.
- Ronald Reagan
It's the beginning of the end for Bush and his White House over the torture tape destroying incident.
Have you seen the video of Bush and his Press Secretary proclaiming they knew nothing about it?
NOT VERY CONGRUENT SOUNDING. (Check the George's body language as he tries to explain what he knew versus what he didn't know and try not to laugh.)
This Press Sec ain't gonna last long. She's not a good poker player. Biting your lip as you speak kinda sends mixed messages.
Zuma
Find me where in the Brown Act it says that the speaker cannot be called by his real name is allowed to wear something to cover their face.
All it says is that people don't have to sign in and they can't be harassed/harangued by what they say.
Fucking moron.
Nutcase zuma and matt, the only actioonable act was Matt saying "Fuck, you, Eric" when Garcetti asked him to adhere to policy; after being warned he used another foul insult.
Forgot to mention that in your lunatic post, Mr. Mutt?
7:28pm, How about you show me where it says the President can decide to announce whatever name he wants -- despite what was written on the card. if there was a problem, the sgt at arms would have notified Dowd. The Sgt at Arms check all cards to make sure they are filled out properly.
And YOU show ME where it says you cannot cover your face -- and that you have to show your face, "so people can see who is speaking." SHOW ME WHERE IT SAYS YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FACE UNCOVERED.
You are so emotionally and intellectually disadvantaged -- you have a hard time comprehending these simple concepts. (And that causes you frustration that causes hostility.)
7:52pm,
All of that stuff happened AFTER Garshady called "Matt Dowd" instead of "Joe Public".
My thread is about that, not what happened after G'shady done f'd up.
Try and keep up even though you are at an emotional disadvantage, yourself.
So now on your other thread you're making threats against the City Council for because they did what they had no choice doing, after your Matt mutt's intentionally insulting them, and saying Fuck You to Eric?
You're especially threatening Jack Weiss, and going back to that old accusation, that he's hiring whores for donors and clients? You're finally handing him and all of them the rope to hang you with, and I can't wait.
YOU MUST STOP BICKERING AGAINST EACH OTHER. Who cares how words are written, what is important is the message. This medium of communication that we have is so important at this time in history and we must use it wisely. We need to stop attacking each other, come together and learn who the puppet masters are and what their plans are for us and expose them. We are caught in these nonsense bickering and are distracted by it. In the meantime they continue their manipulations against us.
We won't have to get Higby to dump this fool's butt; Baca and company will be picking him up anytime now and putting him where he belongs; 24 hours supervised living.
No computers or internet in the clinkeroo, Dave Elliott.
Get ready to start a legal defense fund; no coffee or gas money needed wither. The coffee is free, sort of.
5:20
No Alvin Parra, you are the laughing stock of the community
8:12pm said..."So now on your other thread you're making threats against the City Council."
Where are the threats? Please re-post them here. I don't see them. I'm sure YOU wouldn't accuse me of making threats unless I did.
And remember, just because you are not comfortable with someone's free speech does not make it a threat. So again, please re-post the threats. I would like to read them!
Zuma, if your ADD prevents you from remembering how you're "going to go after" the 3 of them, and "particularly Jack Weiss," and that crap about the hookers again, I'm not going to do you the favor or reposting them for you. Do it yourself... Call it an exercise in remedial reading and writing, knowing what you said earlier in the day.
You say when people make you mad you come out slinging -- well, they will too, and they've got the legal resources and power on their side.
Maybe if matt had said whatever he had to say respectfully and in a normal fashion, it would have been listened to. As it is, he forfeited his right to speak -- but let me guess, it was about how his and hunt's "civil rights" had been taken away somehow by not being allowed to vend junk on public property in front of stores paying rent and taxes?
Am I a mindreader, or what?
I guess the juveniles are back to posting. My mom always said speak to people the way you would want them to speak to Me with respect. Too bad Matt thinks cursing is the way to show he's a man. He should have watched the Dr. PHil show on cursing and what it implies of the person.
Hey, if Matt Dowd doesn't work and he's not homeless how does he pay bills, get food, pay rent? Is he living with him mom like someone posted here months back?
1:15pm,
Why did you misquote me? If you put
"quotes" around something it is supposed to be the actual words the person said.
Garcetti is a shady pussy. All the sissy had to do was say, "Our next speaker is Joe Public" then shut the fuck up for 2 minutes. His ego and spoiled brat, pompous, holier-than-though...my family gets to do whatever we want mentality prevented that.
Meanwhile, thanks for the misquote...you lose again! And you keep forgetting, the city of los angeles sold us all licenses/permits to vend on the beach side. (Whether it is across the way from retail stores is irrelevant. THE RETAIL STORES WERE THERE == AND THE CITY KNEW THEY WERE THERE WHEN THEY S-O-L-D PERMITS TO ALL OF US!!!
So garcetti is a shady-pussy and you are a misquote liar -- and have your head up your ass on the Venice issue.
(Again, the tax-paying retail stores were already there, and the city sold permits, anyway. NOTHING CHANGED -- EXCEPT THE ELECTION OF A MAYOR WHOSE HEART LIES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BORDER!
TELL GARCETTI AND VIAGRAOSA TO CLEAN UP THE REAL ILLEGAL VENDING -- NOT THE PEOPLE WHO YOU SOLD PERMITS TO, DUMB ASS.
AND REMEMBER...IT IS ILLEGAL TO HIRE PROSTITUTES FOR YOU SPECIAL INTEREST CONSTRUCTION CLIENTS!!!
(I HOPE CITY COUNCIL REMEMBERS THAT!)
Alright...who's the a-hole who criticized me for this comment posted on my strategyupdate.com site on November 26,2007?
"People are talking about "recession", but my Batcomputer keeps saying that it is "inflation" that will end up being much higher than being discussed. (My Batcomputer has been shockingly accurate in the past, so "much higher inflation than factored into the formula" is a concern on strategyupdate.com's radar."
If you check the financial news today, I think you will find another case of "news before it happens" courtesy of you friendly neighborhood zuma dogg.
(Seemed like I was going out on a limb at the time...but not if your head isn't up your ass.)
Easy to "predict" anything; put your money where your mouth is.
You know, the coffee money or the gas money or the bus fare you beg for like a simpleton.
I'd give you bus fare, but only to take a one way to Pocatello or points NorthEast*.
*And not come back.
8:24am (you know i secretly actually like you),
but what does "putting money where mouth is" have to do with predicting subprime bubble burst three months early; or calling for higher inflation than expected a couple weeks prior to the next inflation report?
it's not like i said i picked apple at $50 or anything. (for that you could say, "put your money where your mouth is"...
but on these "big picture" predictions i make once in a while are supposed to be for mi amigos who are invested in one market, or the other --
and they can act on the info based on how they feel the news will affect their portfolio.
but in YOUR case...PLEASE IGNORE ALL FUTURE ZD PREDICTIONS! (How could a guy in my circumstance ever be correct? You're right...I'm wrong!)
NOW, we are getting somewhere.
Go say 500 Hail Marys and do an act of contrition.
Go and sin no more.
Oh no...first Eric Garcetti, now Jim Cramer of CNBC's "Mad Money".
ZD called into Cramer's show for a little public comment during the "Lightning Round" to discuss Game Stop.
It had a bad week (as everything did), but I thought GS was down more than it should be. However, today it was about the only stock to close up for the day.
So I said, "Except for today..."
So he cut me off and said how great it did today.
I said, "I SAID EXCEPT FOR TODAY, Y'ALL!!!" And Jim said, "HEY, I'm talkin', here!" (LOL!)
Then he went on to make fun of me for saying GS had a bad week exclaiming, "Zuma, you're like bad alcohol" (Playing off the Zima thing.) And said to the next caller, "I hope you are better than Zuma". (And referred to Big ZD one other time.)
I SAID, "BESIDES TODAY Y'ALL!"
See the replay at about 8:30pm tonight during the lightning round or see it on the cnbc website. (About 5 minutes into the 12/14 lightning round video.)
Here's the audio of ZD on Cramer's "Mad Money". click here for audio. (Combative, as usual, y'all!)
Oh, no! Cramer "deleted" part of the fool's speech!!
That calls for whining!!
But, say something negative of the fool, and he deletes,edits, and does what he pleases.
Go look in the mirror you whining crybaby. What you'll see is a fool who does not practice what he preaches.
Now, delete this post as I am sure you will.
But others have read it and know its truth.
You are an insecure wimp.
3:52am,
I used to think you were just a broken-down, sour grapes alcoholic.
Now I think you must be on some hardcore street drugs.
You are out of your mind. What on earth are you talking about?
