The shock troops in Sunland Tujunga will benefit from a new round of growth, which may be necessary to beat Home Depot over the long haul. Rumbles in the back of the room suggest that the best course would be a Recall Delgadillo effort that spreads to some other parts of the City. It makes sense: folks standing at Trader's pitching Rocky's various inanities, capturing local data, and fundraising off it later, just like any political consultant would.
JM, HD opponents: every color but orange, 3.15.08
The feeling among the Nestors in the back is that the No gallery will flounder if they hear "We don't have enough money for an attorney" much longer; everyone recognizes money is needed somewhere, if not for an attorney, then for direct political action. The face and general farce of the Delgadillo hegemony is a great way to raise some, and grow the no side as well.
The Daily News crime blog includes the story of a woman who pulls up behind her own stolen car at the stoplight. Cops swoop in and and nab the easy pickens thief. Also a new homicide in the Canyon Country, and it looks Latin gang related.
Also at that blog: Hollenbeck gets a new Latina captain, the first for the LAPD. How will she handle the precinct's biggest challenge: the Hollenbeck burrito at El Tepeyac? Best of luck to Tina Nieto and all other recent promoted. Press release discussing her and some others here.
This will sound familiar to the Sunland Tujunga folks: "The question for the City Council is not whether you support Las Lomas or not, because if that's the question it would go down in flames," Alarcon said. "The question is if the actions to date require the city to keep processing the application." Sure it is. Alarcon is speaking re Las Lomas, which comes to a vote Wednesday. This is the legacy of the Villaraigosa Mayoralty: ceaseless surrender, with the City Attorney and Councilpeople in a race to roll out welcome mats to the would-be invaders.
Friday's luncheon ad value pitch to the American Association of Political Consultants convention, wrapping today in Santa Monica, was from the cable industry; so on Saturday at lunch, newspapers got equal time. Locals noted that even though the national convention was hosted right here in sunny LA, nobody from the former fishwrap of record participated on the newspaper panel.
I see that the AAPC is sponsoring trips to the Getty for $35 a head today. So don't tell them admission is free and even a cab ride there would be cheaper. Especially funny, because Getty Images has a booth at the convention.

I am so sorry that the Valley Doll contingency (myself, Valley Grandma and the littlest Valley Girl) did not make it to the meeting in time (we are a historically late-arriving people) but I am happy to say we did arrive in time to have lunch with Red Spot, Mayor Sam, Joe B. and the very nice Sunland-Tujunga people. You're all such warm, friendly and genuinely good people there.
My mom, my daughter and I had a wonderful time in Sunland-Tujunga yesterday. We plan to go back for the pony rides at Foothill and Wheatland. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot there yesterday ... it began pouring rain! I searched madly for Joe B.'s phone number because I know he controls the weather there up in the S-T, but couldn't find it in my phone book. Everyone at the pony rides snatched their little darlings up and dashed for their cars. We were very sad.
So Joe B., my girl is comin' back for that pony ride, no doubt! Join us! I'll spring for pony rides for us all!

The LAPD is becoming more diverse everyday. Latino cops are now the majority in the LAPD. I wonder if the low-life cholos and their families will still be playing the race card against the LAPD.
Do idiots like Councilman Huizar realize that most of LAPD's cops are Latino? And when an LAPD cop kills an armed cholo carrying a gun in East Los Angeles, it's not a racial issue?
The recent shooting at the infamous Ramona Gardens is a typical example of cholo's family members always saying my "cholo kid" is great kid, why did the cops shoot him just because he was carrying a gun.
Ramona Gardens should be run over by a squad of bulldozers, there have been too many generations of low-life cockroaches called "big hazard gang" filing lawsuits against the LAPD and wasting our tax dollars.
Huizar you are not in Tijuana, clean up your district, the LAPD is not paid by drug cartels like the Tijuana police. But with mexican politicos like Reyes and Huizar that may be coming soon.
As Avalos and Alfaro gave chase, Rojas pointed the pistol in their direction resulting in both officers discharging their weapons. Rojas sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was transported to Los Angeles County University of Southern California Medical Center where he died from his wounds. Rojas' weapon, a chrome .25caliber semi-automatic pistol, was recovered at scene

Los Angeles City Councilman Jose Huizar said he would ask for an independent investigation into the shooting first thing today, Fox11 reported. ``We'll do everything possible to investigate the facts and to find out what happened,'' Huizar told Channel 11

And furthermore when you have the Mayor putting Maria Del Angel back on the Housing Authority Commission is the fox guarding the hen house. Especially at Ramona Gardens.
HACLA's top management along with the Mayor are like a bunch of gangsters themselves.
An old post from Zuma on Los Angeles Housing Authority. At least Zuma actually posted "hard" news about L.A., which the newest blogging burros no nothing about.

If you want to get your head spinning about "sureno"/latino gangs just start reading this other crime blog from Pasadena.

And the Los Angeles Times Homicide report.

I often wonder how the LAPD is reporting that gang violence is down, when every day you read about so many cases of gang violence in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles murders are up this year, but the Mayor and LAPD Chief says that "gang" murders and gang violence is down??? Common sense and my ability to read the news, tell me otherwise.
The LAPD crime statistics reminds me of the HBO show “The Wire” where the Baltimore Mayor is always asking the police commanders to “cook” the crime statistics, so that the Mayor looks like he is doing a good job. And in exchange the Mayor will make sure the Chief of Police keeps his job and commanders get a promotion.
Regarding:
Mayor putting Maria Del Angel back on the Housing Authority Commission...
Zuma Dogg has been talking about a case against Maria but he needs an attorney and I don't think he can afford one.
There's a Rocky connection.
LA Times & Daily News as well as the rest of the media have dropped the ball on Housing Authority.
What about the fact that yesterday Maxine Waters had to have her own fact finding public hearing about whether Montiel & the Mayor were going to tear down Jordan Downs.
Probably because she along with the rest of the city should not trust how they would have done or for who's benefit.
Montiel publicly denied there was any plan even though he put out an RFP last year.
And whether or not you agree that they should do it, the fact is how they would tear it down will greatly effect the rest of the city.
