Video captures a woman strolling casually into a Rite Aid in Venice wielding a pickaxe and stealing merchandise while spewing a stream of obscenities. She threatens the store employees and customers.

The woman, dressed all in black, is seen walking in the Venice Beach store on Lincoln Boulevard about 3 p.m. on Wednesday with the garden tool slung over her right shoulder and pulling a shopping cart full of stolen beuaty items behind her.



The police are still searching for her, but thanks to our corrupt douchebag politicians, like Mike Bonin, she will just be let go and keep on doing this type of shit till she eventually kills someone.

Every weekday morning, West Coast Care connects with the homeless on the beaches of Santa Monica to provide care and support. As part of Project Homecoming, West Coast Care worked with the Santa Monica Police Department to help reconnect people to their families. West Coast Care helped nearly 300 people find housing last year—roughly half were reconnected with their families.


Video from Venice Gallerie:

"Back story: the man being chased had previously destroyed vendors' property on the Venice Beach Boardwalk.

He proceeded to break the driver's side window of a city worker's vehicle, while the driver was still in the truck.

"Red" chased him down, and proceeded to beat him up.

The man was hospitalized but not with serious injuries"


Video from Venice Gallerie:

"I was on the boardwalk this morning at about 11 when a friend of mine came by and told me that the ATM's and the windows at the Bank of America at Windward Circle had been broken, so I shot this video."

"LAPD is out ticketing homeless people for sleeping again and comes across a guy who drove onto a grass hill outside of the parking lot, but didn't ticket him. Meanwhile the Park Rangers and Sanitation is back for a "major homeless encampment clean up", or in this case they took pictures of everyone and wasted a lot of money without cleaning anything. $1 million dollars a day is spent on these cleanings with no results and the tickets are going to cost taxpayers more than housing, once jail and court costs are included. Knowing the LAPD, they will probably arrest as many people as possible for unpaid tickets on Christmas again, like every year. While 4 people die per day while experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles, the majority of the city seems to prefer death and taxes over helping anyone."

"I saw the black smoke of the fire and tried calling 911 but they didn't answer. I called Fire 63 directly and got through to the captain. The fire department arrived in about five minutes No one was injured.."



This Saturday is the 28th Annual Venice Surf-A-Thon, so here's throwback to 2014 with a video of the 21st Annual Venice Surf-A-Thon.

Video by Six12 Media

Ger-I Lewis, the founder and organizer of the Venice Surf-A-Thon had his truck stolen, which had supplies and the equipment needed to run contest in it.



Statement from Ger-i:

"Well, really going to need volunteers to help out this year as my truck, tools, the canopies and other things used for Venice Surf-A-Thon Surf Contest were stolen.

If you have any of these items and can bring them to help out please let me know. I certainly dont want something for nothing and as you may or may not know, not only have I been producing the Venice Surf-A-Thon Surf Contest for 28 years in a row ( the contest is Dec 11th 2021) but a Documentary film about the 3 decades of Venice Surf-A-Thon Surf Contest. So if you choose to donate to the needed cause ( I've got to have a dependable truck to produce the event and film) donors will be listed in film.credits and receive a limited edition supporter t-shirt."

Donations can be made via Facebook at the Venice Surf-A-Thon Fundraiser Page

On Saturday, a fire broke out at the homeless encampment on Venice Blvd. next to the Venice Canals.

"Sanitation and park rangers are back on the boardwalk after a long break. LAPD has been chasing people away in the middle of the night even though the city, state and US Supreme Court says it's not allowed without shelter available. Seems LAPD is trying to help our council member who's facing a recall look better for some strange reason. And now there's trash everywhere that sanitation is not allowed to touch, because there's no homeless people with it. Absolutely none of the city departments communicate and it always leads to more chaos and while they break rules and laws constantly to harm our community, for some reason if it means picking up trash, they act like it's a sin and there's no way they can touch it. The trash is then left to sit for weeks as seen in the Westchester Park videos. I decided to end the video in the Venice canals where it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Venice has also been getting more people returning from the homeless hotel housing programs because the city decided Christmas was a perfect time to close three locations at once. Now people are being shuffled around until they go into the neighborhood and in front of someone's house. Then they say it's allowed. I'm surprised all the homeowners support this instead of moving people indoors or at least in areas that aren't in use.

Remember the city of Los Angeles turned down federal funding to house every homeless person in LA during the pandemic and spends $1 million a day on sanitation, $3 million on LAPD and countless millions on outreach that only walks around, all while claiming to not have enough money to do any of their responsibilities. Not one person has to stay on the street, a large group of residents in Los Angeles allow it by begging for enforcement, rather than stopping politicians from misappropriating funding. Currently 4 people die per day while experiencing homelessness in LA because people support this."

Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach, and the nearby communities.

"Today was a very foggy day on Venice Beach, you could not see the ocean from the boardwalk. Almost no people on the beach. I had to wear my thick down jacket to keep warm. I rode my scooter to the Venice Pier to match up some movie locations from the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas. I also went to the Venice canals to match up pictures from the famous group The Doors."
