Another "Young Statistic" of Los Angeles "Embargoed (by Mayor Garcetti)" Rising Violent Crime Rate

As MIA/Second Term-seeking Mayor Eric "Gar-SOFT-ee" continues his EMBARGO on releasing the most recent Crime Stats, the Ramona Gardens Community mourns the senseless Murder of a Young Man (Jonathan Yanez), who's Death in a Saturday Mid-day (2:30 PM) Drive-by Shooting, is indicative of a continuing RISE in Violent Crimes within Los Angeles.  

Mayor Gar-SOFT-ee's continuing avoidance of Debates/Candidate Forums and the Disclosure of the MOST recent Crime Stats ....... is an Act of Political Cowardice.

** Blogger's Notes: The Barrio Grim Reaper reintroduce his evil self (taking the form of an alleged Drive-by Shooter), in a Mid-day Appearance on Saturday .........., and a family mourns a Young Man (Jonathan Yanez) taken too soon.

Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Poitical Machine for Tuesday

We bring you a pre-Easter Political Gathering of two noted City Hall antagonists with upward ambitions featuring an "Tepid White Rhodes Scholar" and his potential "Dear Charrro, Princeton Graduate" 2017 Mayoral Challenger.   

From CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar's Facebook Page. 

From the Facebook Page of Mayor Eric Garcetti (can you find the difference between the two like photos?).

Great post Spring Break to all as we return to the bloggin keyboard after a work-related break.

Just in time for Good Friday last week, two past political antagonists came together briefly (apparently without cutting the bread) to tour places of interest within the fiefdom of re-elected CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar.

The self-noting Princeton Graduate, hosted Mayor Eric Garcetti in his fourteenth stop on a city-wide tour which included taking in the view from the top of the Ascot Hills Passive Park.

We note with a chuckle (or two, three and four plus) the subtle difference between the "authentic" photo via the Mayor Garcetti Facebook Page and the "altered" version via the Councilman Huizar's Facebook Page, which obviously "Photo shopped" a balding feature on the now, termed-out Councilman.

Councilman Huizar honors the "Disempowering Loyalty" of the LA-32 Neighborhood Council

Councilman Huizar made time to reward his mostly loyal underlings that now comprise the LA-32 Neighborhood Council. With the enabling of "Disempowerment LA" General Manager Grayce Liu (and staff), the once independent body has now become a rubber stamp appendix for the re-elected Councilman's political needs.

Both CD 1 City Councilman Gil Cedillo and CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar send staff members to a Special Meeting of the Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council which focused on the spike of gang-related violent crime within the community. A crowded room of concern community members had assorted questions for the assembled LAPD and council staff in attendance.
