I would say without corroboration of some kind it should be set aside, yes. Back up your sh*t.

Have you noticed that the internet is PACKED JAM FULL of sh*t that’s not true? Ask the Russians. Ask Alex Jones. Ask the Donald.

So when somebody such as me states that there's a significant amount of violent or potentially violent, psychotic behavior associated with the homeless population in L.A., you believe I need to bolster my assertion?

What did I just post, above? Hell man, I don’t even know if you live in LA ... or even in America. Back up what you post.

Why is the onus on me? Why don't you come out of your rich person's gated community up there in Morrow Bay and see what's happening here for yourself, rather than incessantly claiming that those of us who live here are not correct in what we state? It's like I'm loose off turn four at Charlotte and you're on the radio telling me from the pit box that the car's actually tight and you need to take out a half round of wedge...does that make sense to you?

Because, for one, you repeatedly state figures that are not backed up by fact.

And it's slightly hypocritical that you jump all over anyone with whose opinion you don't agree by stating that they "don't live in L.A." (meaning, apparently, that they don't within the confines of Brentwood).

Yet you completely ignore anyone whose opinion matches yours when they live NOWHERE NEAR L.A., e.g. Florida, Chicago, Washington state, etc.

So says the guy in his Brentwood bubble......what is it they say about those who live in glass houses?

That makes no sense to me. How is this alleged "bubble" affecting my perspective, which is that this city has a very serious problem with crazy people wandering the streets and terrorizing the population?

The onus is on every poster to validate their claims ... why should anonymous Exitus get a pass?

An example of why readers should particularly question you is that you and I have exchanged conversation dozens of times in which I have described that I keep a public marina boat slip in Morro Bay to spend “get away from the city time” - but my home base is San Diego where I utilize military base marinas. Yet, after dozens of these conversations, you continually refer to me living in Morrow(sic) Bay in a “gated community”.

Now noted again:
you either:
1. can’t spell Morro and
2. you can’t remember I don’t reside there as my primary address and
3. can’t remember my Morro slip is a public facility not a private gated community
... indicating you have cognitive deficiencies ...
Or, you deliberately bait and troll me in an attempt to create antagonism.

Which is it? In either case you present yourself as someone who engages disingenuously and unseriously ... so why should any reader consider your comments as legitimate absent credible outside validation?

To say nothing of your adolescent analogies to car racing. Perhaps your time would be better spent playing with your Hot Wheels collection?

Brandon Straka, founder of the #WalkAway movement, wanted to see for himself what downtown LA was like, were conservative media exaggerating to make liberal cities look bad?

His short video shows what he saw, but you can't smell what he smelled.

This morning I saw this homeless bum on a freeway overpass throw a beer can over onto the cars on the freeway below. He timed it so it would hit a car.
