Last night, Long Beach's PRIDE lifeguard station (similar to the one in Venice) that was painted by LGBTQ+ lifeguards, burned down.



Long Beach's Mayor Robert Garcia added, "I spoke with our Marine Safety Chief. There’s no power or gas at this station. They don’t remember a lifeguard station buring down since at least the 1950’s. So the one arson incident at a lifeguard station in 70+ years is the once that was recently painted to support LGBTQ+ people."

"And let’s be crystal clear: The one lifeguard station that burns in decades is the one recently painted in PRIDE colors. This station has no power and no outlets. As a gay man, I have little doubt this wasn’t targeted."

News from the Lost Hills Sheriff's Station:

Yesterday at approximately 5:30pm, we received a call for service of a possible drunk driver. Deputies spotted the vehicle driving erratically and endangering the safety of the public. Deputies initiated a short pursuit of the box truck on PCH at Webb Way, in the City of Malibu.

The suspect continued driving northbound on PCH into Ventura County where he was pursued by California Highway Patrol (CHP). During the pursuit by CHP, the suspect collided with a vehicle which caused him to lose control and crash into a ditch.

Lost Hills Sheriff’s deputies arrested the suspect for several charges including Driving Under the Influence and Hit and Run. The suspect was transported to Los Robles Hospital due to injuries he sustained during the collision.



It was later alleged that the suspect hit several vehicles on PCH prior to the pursuit. If you have any information on this incident, please contact the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station at (818) 878-1808 or lhsmediainvestigations@lasd.org.

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

In today's video, German in Venice spots that singer Rihanna and gets hassled by her too-stupid-to-do-his-job-properly bodygaurd for filming her. We see a lot of "celebs" in Venice with their bodygaurds, but Rihanna's is not only an asshole, but he has got to be one of the most dumbest ones we witnessed.

"Today Rihanna came to Venice Beach to bike ride and shop," says German in Venice, "I followed her with my camera and her bodyguards tried a couple times to stop me from filming her and stop following her around. It seemed like it didn’t really bother Rihanna because I kept my distance."

If you would like to support German in Venice with some gas money or you want to buy him a coffee, you are welcome to donate to his paypal account: https://paypal.me/germaninvenice
