Saturday June 26, 2021 7:24pm - A Venice resident was hit in the head from behind in a random attack on the boardwalk. The attacker did not flee the scene and instead returned to a homeless encampment nearby and sat down with a bottle of alcohol. No arrests were made.

The video below is the victimn trying to get help from the LAPD, unfortunetly as was we have witnessed several times, they are useless AF.





This is just like that time on the Shacked Instagram Stories, when an older surfer was hit on the foot by a glass bottle a homeless man threw at him. The LAPD officers refused to even acknowledge the attacker exist, even though the surfer was bleeding and the attacker was close by still shouting obscenities at everyone. The LAPD officer just stated that evereyone just needs to avoid going near him, he has a right to be on the boardwalk.


More madness on the Venice Boardwalk. At about 7PM on Sunday, a fight broke out near 800 Ocean Front Walk in Venice. Police showed up to break up the fight, arresting one person when the crowd tried to stop the arrest.

25 more officers then showed up for back up.

Why was the crowd trying to stop the arrest, who knows, but hell, the LAPD will just release the person within the hour anyways, like their useless department always does.

A pit bull was stabbed by by someone during an altercation on the Venice Boardwalk.

According to the GoFundMe for the dog, the man the dog was with was shooting at people on the Venice Boardwalk. It is assumed that one of the people he shot at attacked him back, stabbing both him and the dog.

The full story is below:



"Hello all,

While my wife and I were out last night, we came across a homeless man and his dog who had just been stabbed multiple times. The police came to assess the situation, but the dog needed emergency care. She was bleeding out from open wounds and vomiting. We offered to take the dog to the Emergency Vet to get the care she needed before it was too late. The police helped bandage her up and get her to the car. The good surgeons at the VCA took her in immediately. We have been informed that she is fortunate, and the knife missed her vital organs! Unfortunately, she tore her colon and is still in intensive care, and will hopefully be out of the woods in a few days. However, there's still a chance of infection and complications. Given her surgery and continued care, we have to cover the initial hospital bills, which are hefty, and more may be coming (hopefully not)! We hope for a bit of help here as this is not our dog, nor will we be able to foster or adopt her.

She will be at the Vet's for the next 2 to 4 days while she recovers, and the plan is to find a foster to care for her while we find a suitable home. If you are interested, please let us know!

The man she was found with was suspected of and arrested for shooting at people on the Venice boardwalk. We are guessing that it was one of those people that ended up stabbing him and the dog. Nonetheless, this person is clearly not in the position to take care of her now. She will need at least a few more weeks of recovery and close supervision when she leaves the hospital. Unfortunately, we cannot keep her as we have 3 cats and are not allowed dogs where we live.

Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated! If you feel more comfortable donating directly to the veterinarian hospital, you can do so by calling the VCA directly."



It appears a homeless man was murdered Friday afternoon at his tent along the bike path at the end of Dudley Ave. According to some of the bystanders, it was a love-triangle arguement, where one man stabbed another man.

LAPD homicide detectives have been investigating the fatal stabbing and searching for witnesses in neighboring tents. Which is a waste of time, since this useless police department will probably just release the murderer anyways.



On Sunday, 70-year-old Venice Boardwalk performer, John Gavert, was attacked again by another homeless person.

Earlier this month, Gavert was attacked by Marco Harger a piece of trash homeless man who lives on the Boardwalk. He survived the attack and was back out on the Boardwalk preforming when the second attack on him happened.

The video below show some of the incident, and as expected, the now useless LAPD that handles Venice let the homeless lady that attacked him go free.



There is a Fundraiser for John Gavert now: I’m a street performer I was assaulted,



Bob Carlson, a 30 year Venice resident and owner of Arbor recounts the recent attack of a security guard by a homeless man believed to have been high on meth. T, a beloved fixture at Arbor, spent two weeks in the hospital, lost a finger, and nearly died.

"Los Angeles county Sheriff Department is still working on the removal of the homeless people in Venice Beach. I asked the sheriff about a collaboration with Mike Bonin to end the homeless crisis in Venice Beach. The question is: Are they going to work together towards one goal?"

"Los Angeles is completely open, no more restrictions. Everybody enjoyed Machine Gun Kelly’s and Travis Barkers Free concert on the rooftop in Venice Beach, California. Hundreds of spectators enjoyed the great music and the fun in the sun. It was incredible to see so many people dancing and having fun."

On Tuesday, June 8th, 2021, a coordinated effort from detectives and officers of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Pacific Area led to the arrest of a violent felony battery Suspect involved in a Venice beach incident that was captured on video.

Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics transported the victim to a local area hospital where he was treated for serious injuries.



According to LAPD, "Macio Harger, a 45-year-old resident of Los Angeles, is homeless and was residing in one of the homeless encampments on the Venice beach boardwalk close to where the incident took place. Harger was arrested for 243(d) PC, “Battery Causing Serious Bodily Injury” and awaiting filing recommendations by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. Detectives are currently in the process of determining a motive for the attack."

The part about him being a "resident of Los Angeles" does not appear to be correct though, as some evidence is online that claims he is from Illinois and came out to LA only about a year or two ago.

This is the same homeless man seen acting violent in several previos videos such as the one below:



He also robbed the Vans Store in Santa Monica back in January: "On January 19, 2021 at approximately 2:50 a.m." a previous police report states, "Officers observed the front Plexiglass window of the Van store located near the 400 block of Broadway was broken. Officers observed that the broken area was large enough for someone to make entry. After patrolling the area, officers encountered Macio Harger, riding a bicycle and carrying a long board with a Vans price tag attached to the wheel. Mr. Harger had been observed earlier in the evening in the area of Vans where multiple shoe boxes were stacked in the doorway holding a large black trash bag. Mr. Harger was detained pending the burglary investigation. A witness provided officers with a black trash bag filled with merchandise and identified Mr. Harger as having tossed it over the fence which Mr. Harger confessed to. A subsequent search of Mr. Harger’s belongings uncovered screwdrivers, bolt cutters, pliers and a saw blade. Mr. Harger was booked for 466 PC – Possession of Burglary Tools and 459 PC Burglary. He was issued a citation and released from custody."

So no doubt, he will most likely be released again and back on the Venice Boardwalk by tomorrow.


This is an update to Arbor Security Guard Almost Killed By Homeless Man: On Tuesday, June 8, the LASD Homeless Outreach Services Team, Venice Outreach workers and several other non-profit groups started their humanitarian mission in Venice Beach. The following is the press release from the LASD Newsroom

"Law enforcement personnel are often the first contact with those experiencing homelessness. For that reason, the Homeless Outreach Service Team (HOST) was created to exemplify the county’s efforts to combat homelessness and preserve public safety. The LASD HOST’s mission is to positively impact the homeless crisis in the county while increasing public safety and preserving the rights and dignity of persons experiencing homelessness.

Sheriff Alex Villanueva visited the Venice Boardwalk recently and promised he would do everything he could to help the homeless community if local politicians failed to act regarding the homeless crisis.

On Tuesday, June 8, 2021 the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homeless Outreach Services Team (LASD HOST), the Mental Evaluation Team (LASD MET) and the Veterans Affairs Administration, Venice Outreach workers and several other non-profit groups were on Venice Boardwalk assessing the humanitarian crisis in Venice.



Deputies and service workers were on scene contacting the homeless population on the Venice Boardwalk. LASD Deputies working to help house some of the thousands of homeless individuals in LA County are on a humanitarian mission. In this exchange, we met Robert, a 76 year old Navy veteran, who has spent years living on the street.

Our HOST (Homeless Outreach Services Team) has spent many days talking to Robert, building trust & understanding. After long conversations in person, Robert finally agreed to accept services from the Department of Veteran’s Affairs.

LASD’s HOST (Homeless Outreach Services Team) & MET (Mental Evaluation) Deputies are the best at what they do showcasing everyday how leading with compassion & genuine concern makes a difference in solving this public safety crisis.

The LASD’s Homeless Outreach Services Team (HOST) continues to assist those experiencing homelessness throughout the County. Los Angeles County has established subsidies to support our most vulnerable residents, and it has proven affordable and effective. The County is redoubling efforts to combat this issue, and as part of the county family, the Sheriff’s Department is as well



Through our contacts with thousands of homeless neighbors, HOST has earned a reputation for being compassionate, accountable, innovative, and bold. HOST has transcended the role of traditional law enforcement. For years, HOST has accomplished the mission with zero uses of force."
