They all behaved like a bunch of uneducated thugs. Ed Reyes standing and saying we need to trust our city attorney was beyond laughable coming from a guy who is responsible for the 1,000 medical marijuana shops. Alarcon talking like the Mexican Mafia thug he is. He speaks as if he's talking to gang bangers. Smith doesn't know how to speak to anyone without sounding like a thug himself and Illiterate. Smith has major issues with his temper. Perry was the most embarrassing sounding like a ghetto bitch. She has no professional decorum at all and showed a complete lack of CLASS. The stupid questions they asked showed their lack of intelligence. We need to show City Attorney Trutanich our support for this fiasco of a meeting. Its about time we had a real leader in this city that has the balls to go after corporate corruption and money people like AEG. THEY ALL TOOK CAMPAIGN DONATIONS FROM AEG.

NOT a good idea.<br /><br />Meanwhile, what about Trutanich as a Serb: according to BBC news, Karadzic is just about to go to the Hague for war crimes but a majority of Serbs in Bosnia still justify his behavior. Including massacring 8000 men and boys, just CHILDREN, in cold blood in Srebrenica in 1992 because they were Muslim. Genocide in its ugliest and purest terms. <br /><br />So is it wrong for Trutanich to have gotten his biggest initial base from that community, the Dalmatian- American club and community, in San Pedro? <br /><br />You can say most of them don't agree with the Serbs in Bosnia but seretly, many do. So why should someone shun ALL Turks because Krekorian wants to 'use" the issue for his own benefit? Would he refuse to help a Turkish constituent?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-65506786688870945292009-10-23T22:31:32.463-07:002009-10-23T22:31:32.463-07:00I thought I fired all the dissenters.

Nuch didn't have a staff, because he wasn't an elected official yet. <br /><br />But by the Higby test, we'd all vote for Jack Weiss.<br /><br />Your position is furthermore silly when you take into account that at least TWO (if not three) of Krekorian's staff are running for higher office themselves, including the guy running the show. <br /><br />Did you ever think they were nice to you because of this fact? i.e., that it was in their self-interest?<br /><br />Mailander is right in many ways. You matured politically when you stopped backing lost causes. But then you regressed when you made it all about you.<br /><br />To get Higby's endorsement, indeed him letting his blog be used as a propaganda machine, all you have to do is be nice to him.<br /><br />That's called Stockholm Syndrome. Our politicians have everyone so used to being beaten all over town, and you are obviously so used to being made fun of, that you get so excited that someone did what they are supposed to do, after all, and that is treating constituents with respect.<br /><br />You dont question their motives, you don't see anything in shades of gray. It's all because some self-interested propagandist treated you well, probably knowing full well that you buy your ink (or your pixels) by the barrelfull.<br /><br />Don't be such a tool. Stop being used.afairmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-72261886756270002102009-10-23T18:20:27.551-07:002009-10-23T18:20:27.551-07:00When push came to shove Zine joined the Council ma...When push came to shove Zine joined the Council majority in slamming his buddy the Nuch - like all bullies if you push him back he backs off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-35326616004837594032009-10-23T17:10:00.598-07:002009-10-23T17:10:00.598-07:00Michael you should post the circus this afternoon ...Michael you should post the circus this afternoon at city council.

I LOVE all this attention the Nooch is attracting to himself for threatening to jail and sue everyone from his BOSS and client a City councilwoman to the head of Building & Safety to Volunteer Board & Commission members to "unnamed others" even BEFORE he took office. <br /><br />Add to that bullying a cancer patient at the Neighborhood Council meeting and we have quite a spectacle.

(Like Chick's lawyer Woocher - who's have settled for a mere $100 thou this summer, but after using Chick to get elected, the Nooch trashed her, too. Carter even tried to claim that a slip of the tongue she made to a newspaper abrogated Nooch's solemn promise: HOW LOW will Carter go, to cover for this guy?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
