From Venice is Burning, performed by Mark Lennon of the band, Venice.

Mike Bonin, Sheila Kuell, Gavin Newsome, what a fool
Autum Burke, Ted Lieu, Ben Watson have no clue
Garcetti, Eunuch in a trance, Scott Weiner in his pants
Third St., Boardwalk, Oakwood cant get a cop

Needles, feces, drug dealers, ocean breeze
Rubbish fires, Baseball bats chop shops, tons of rats
Encampments, Cherynoble, Carol Sobel thinks she’s noble
Rape, murder, suicide, no bail, it’s genocide

We didn’t’ start the Fire Venice is burning, since Bonin’s been earning
We didn’t’ start the Fire, Venice is blighted, as we tried to fight it.

Blue tarps, Got Junk, Venice in a funk
Out of State, imports, no support, Supreme Court
Prostitution, vandalism, saturation, devastation
Sanitation, hesitation, Venice annihilation

Nero on the roof, Government has no proof
Pelosi, ice cream, I just want to scream
Harris, VP, abandoned us to live her dream
People squatting on the Beach, methamphetamine We

didn’t’ start the Fire
Penmar is burning, since Bonin’s been learning
We didn’t’ start the Fire, Venice is blighted, but we’ve tried to fight it.

RV’s, heaps of trash, they wonder why we clash
Rising crime, too much grime, brother can you spare a dime
Hair cuts, trim suits, bureaucratic lawsuits
Jones Act, Boise, failed leaders, crazy

Tax base shrinking, City Council winking
Zombies peeing, Residents fleeing
Puppet show, quid pro quo, no go, Skid Row
Rezone, methadone, Venice a containment zone

We didn’t’ start the Fire
Third Street is burning, since Bonin’s been churning
We didn’t’ start the Fire, Venice is blighted, but we’ve tried to fight it.

Dogtown upside down, violent shantytown
Dereliction, mental crisis, drug addiction, hepatitis
Heroin, weed, booze, storm drains full of ooze
Echo Park clean up, Venice remains a dump
Covid, Bonin’s dream, no Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream
Sirens daily, Where’s The Guy who plays the ukulele

We didn’t’ start the Fire
The Boardwalk is burning, since Bonin’s been earning
We didn’t’ start the Fire, Venice is blighted, As we’ve tried to fight it.

Homeless advocates, vagrants dropping pants
Sunset, Hampton, shelter box with a gun
Developers lobby, residents groggy
Venice a containment zone, I can’t leave my home
Tents around the school, beach and Rose cesspool
Venice strives, Lost Lives, but they all have knives
Too much alcohol, cant containment them all
Back again, bohemian, Monster on the Median

A new day will dawn, Venice goes on and on and on...


From Venice Beach Boardwalk, another video showing the current state of the boardwalk:

"The Venice Beach Boardwalk has fallen into total anarchy due to the failed policies of Councilmember Mike Bonin and Mayor Eric Garcetti. They have allowed unrestricted homeless encampments to set up directly on the boardwalk, while simultaneously cutting police patrols. Local businesses and residents are fed up and demanding change."





Some rapper called Choppa got into a fight with a fan on the bike path in Santa Moinca.

The rapper and his crew were appraoched by a fan who asked for a photo and was denied, so the fan said something that offended the rapper.

So the offended rapper charged the fan, but the fan f-cked him up with a shot to the face. Luckily for the beat rapper, he had his crew of 5 guys jump on the fan.

As the video below shows, the fan held his ground getting jumped by the 5 guys (plus the hurt rapper trying to jump back in) and gets up like it didn't really faze him.



Of course the internet called out the wanna-be tough rapper:






The hurt rapper then goes on his Twitter after lots of Twiiter folks make fun of him for getting beat in a fight he started.








At John Adams Middle School/Will Rogers Elementary in Santa Monica, some anti-mask activists started protesting public safety guidelines requiring masks in school.

They argue with passersby, parents, and even some young children from the school.

Then some students from Santa Monica High come troll them with a counter-protest, which makes them finally leave.
