LA mayoral candidate, city councilmember Joe Buscaino was on the Venice Boardwalk giving one of his speeches about his three-point plan on making the city a safer place to a crowd of about 100 or so people, when a homeless lady (who is known as Angel from the Women Fight On Mothers Day At The Venice Boardwalk video) started threatening to kill people.
"I’m gonna start killing people!" she said, according to Venice resident Nico Ruderman.
Private security then grabbed Buscaino and rushed him to his SUV. Police officers then detained Angel as she dropped her 6-inch blade. One officer was cut by the blade. Angel yelled out that the blade was for her protection and to cut fruit.
"She 'experiencing homelessness' by choice. Literally came down from Oregon to party on the beach with 0 responsibility. Fully capable of being a functioning member of society but chooses this", an acquaintance of Angle stated.
"I just hope her cat is okay."

LAPD Captain Umbrich says the woman was arrested and likely will be charged with aggravated assault. They are getting witness testimony that she made at least one threat while holding the knife.
But as usual, it appears she was released minutes later according to witnesses that have spooted Angel out on the street already:
