More buzz out of the American Association of Political Consultants conference: our Mayor declared his candidacy for 2009 on a late night public television show, far from Los Angeles, precisely because he's not interested in Los Angeles. Of course, the ramifications for this City are awful: you wouldn't do that if you were running for Mayor in 2009, you'd only do it if you were running for Governor in 2010. As Arnold declared on Jay Leno, Antonio's handlers wanted to find someone willing to gives him celebrity status, and the top willful stooge he could find was Charlie Rose.
Local media need to ask Antonio why he didn't declare his candidacy to...local media. Make him tell you again why he doesn't like you. He's going to start running against you very soon.
More police shootings, these in Wilmington: another suicide by cop last night, this one involving a bicyclist with a gun, and then as the scene is cordoned off, someone else fires at the cops. Daily Breeze has the story.
Like a favored parish priest who is reassigned to another church to the sorrow of his flock, Captain Andy Smith, for three years the public face of the LAPD on Skid Row, is leaving his post for another. He'll become commanding officer for Operations-South Bureau Criminal Gang Homicide Group, and oversee three homicide units. The Downtown News's Anna Scott has the story. Cmdr. David Doan gets Smith's old beat.
Don't drink and drive tonight; there are plenty of St. Patrick's Day weekend checkpoints being set up. Don't drink and drive any other night, either.

I wonder if Huizar is going into action, in this officer involved shooting? Huizar is the defender and champion, of all cholos armed with a gun who confront a cop.
Huizar never met a cholo he didn't like, Huizar we know this shooting didn't occur in your district and in Ramona Gardens home of the mexican mafia and hazard grande gangs.
But we know you will ask for an investigation of why cops would shoot at any cholo just because he points a gun at them.

Huizar another great politico from Tijuana, bringing a slice of his "tierra" to Los Angeles.
Coming soon, to a town near you
L.A. Times Story
Mass grave unearthed in midst of Mexico's drug war.
Authorities in Ciudad Juarez said Friday that they had uncovered the remains of 33 people buried in the yard of an abandoned property, a mass grave believed to be linked to the city's violent drug trade.
The grisly discovery surfaced as part of a recent government crackdown on narcotics traffickers in this city across the border from El Paso that has been gripped by a spasm of drug-related killing unseen in years. Authorities said the Juarez drug cartel might be involved in the deaths.
"Authorities said the Juarez drug cartel might be involved in the deaths."
Ya think?
At the rate the Mayor and Eastside cartel politicos are going, would not be suprised to start having the graves in LA pretty soon too.
The bodies are left on the streets in Los Angeles.
The Mexican drug cartels are already vested in many areas of Los Angeles in legitimate business to launder their drug profits. Here is one recent example of a Mexican drug trafficker using a chain of grocery stores to launder his drug money. If you think this is an isolated case of only one Mexican drug cartel member in Los Angeles, then are a Don Quackers.

U.S. tries to shut revolving door of illegal reentry.
The effort includes combing California prisons and jails for illegal immigrants who have previously been deported.
The gruesome stories just keep coming, here is one about a Mexican gang member who killed not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 people.

LOS ANGELES - Prosecutors believe an Azusa gang member should be sentenced to death for his role in four slayings that occurred during a five-year span between 1999 and 2004. Trial for Ralph Steven Flores, 26, who has "AZUSA" tattooed on his upper lip, has been under way since last month. In separate incidents he is accused of killing two women, one over money and another because he believed her to be a snitch.
He is also accused in the racially motivated killing of a teen-aged Valinda youth attending a party in unincorporated Azusa, officials said.
Among the alleged victims was Fenise Luna, 28. The Azusa resident was found beaten and strangled to death in a parked SUV in 2004, officials said. Prosecutors are seeking a special allegation of torture in Luna's death.
A follow up to the story above one of the other killers was captured in Mexico, back in 2006.

Among the alleged victims was Fenise Luna, 28. The Azusa resident was found beaten and strangled to death in a parked SUV in 2004, officials said. Prosecutors are seeking a special allegation of torture in Luna's death. Two other men are awaiting sentencing in the case. One, Frankie Paul Martinez, 22, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter last year, said Detective Phil Martinez of the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau. Another man, Steven Henry Zamora, 39, was convicted last Friday of murdering Luna, he said.
Yes, enjoyed reading the Downtown News column by Jon Regardie regarding the mayor and his unusual choice of venues for announcing his candidacy for reelection. Funny, sarcastic commentary.....
