Wow ... homeless woman slashed tires on 96 cars !

So she screwed up hard working people’s days causing them not to be able to get to work .

This was in Jefferson Park , not a high income area . A real shame .


LOS ANGELES — A woman was in custody Wednesday on suspicion of slashing tires on nearly 100 parked vehicles in a Jefferson Park neighborhood overnight, police said.

The vandalism was reported at various locations on or near the 3300 block of Montclair Street, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Many of the affected residents said they became aware of the damage when they went to get into their cars this morning to go to work. A total of 96 vehicles parked on streets in front of residences were vandalized, police said.

The more damage, violence and harm to people and communities the vagrants and mentally ill perpetrate, the more the "public servants" vendors and advocates want to "allocate" hundreds if millions of dollars to give them free homes and everything else so they can continue the proce$$
That's what's happening now and its their plan for the future -

You go back to where you were born. I sure ain't going back to the Midwest, not after having left 45 years ago. You'll have to do better than that.

This is why I think we will be able to eventually put homeless people with mental issues back into institutions and I think we should take a hard look at putting people who are addicts and drunks into forced rehab centers, too. Sure, it'll cost money, but look at the money that would be saved if we could detox even 50% of those people.

I'm all for rights, but you lose that right when you do something that harms someone else and get sent to jail. Rehab and institutions would simply be alternative places other than jail that people get sent to, for the same reasons.

To me, those people don't have a homeless issue. They have an addiction and/or mental issue and they need to be addressed differently from the way you address those who are not addicts but are still homeless.

I'm bopping out of this thread for now. I have 3 more days of watching show jumping live at the WEG and I really want to watch those events. It's just that they start at 6am and if they're all as long as today's event was, I'm not going to have much time for anything else.

Y'all take care now!

True. Here's a success story.

Shimatsu has spent years on a waiting list for a kidney transplant, and for more than a year, she parked the Toyota in the lot of the Glendale hospital where she gets dialysis treatment. At night, unable to afford a home on her disability check, she curled up in the back seat of the Corolla, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

We’ve stayed in touch since then. Shimatsu reads the paper and sends me her thoughts on current events. But 10 days ago she had another reason to check in.

“Hey Steve,” she wrote, “just wanted to let you know that I’m no longer homeless.”

So that’s one down, more than 50,000 to go here in the homeless capital of the United States. If you look at it that way, you can easily get discouraged about the monumental human catastrophe and the sprawl of tent cities. But rather than dwell on that now, I decided to take a look at how Shimatsu made it home, and to see if there’s something we can learn from her experience.


Last year, she was sleeping in her car. Today she's proof homeless stories can have happy endings

"Santa Cruz County authorities have arrested two male teenagers from Soquel who are suspected of slashing hundreds of car tires and dropping a large rock onto a passing car on state Highway 1." https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/20...n-passing-car/

There are plenty of other similar news stories in case one isn't good enough for you

Funny thing about tire slashings: incidents almost always involve multiple vehicles, not singles.

Even the worst of all of the cases posted involved fewer (80) slashings than the instant case. Note too that even in that case the slashing were over the span of two months whereas in our case it was in an evening. The scale is significantly different, brazen, etc.
