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.


From Brad Jacobson:

"Surfing Malibu for the first official swell of summer. Surfers were getting rides of 1 minute + long! They were connecting waves from second point all the way to the pier. It was a super fun swell. I haven't filmed Malibu in a long time but this day has me yearning to come back. Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see you on the beach."


From Santa Monica Close Up:

"City Of Los Angeles Department Of Public Works sanitation workers empty trash bins at the Venice Beach Boardwalk next to the homeless encampment, Sunday, June 27, 2021."

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

"When I came to the beach on Friday, I saw LAPD investigating a crime scene after a man was found dead at the Venice Beach Boardwalk encampment. There was a homeless man stabbing another homeless man."

Pacific officers arrested 38-year-old Michael McClain, who was booked for the murder of 49- year old Michael Hall. Both the victim and suspect were persons homelessness men, according to police. But LAPD will probalby release him like they to everyone they arrest.
