"City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works sanitation workers in white hazardous materials suits clear out the tents from the Venice Beach Boardwalk homeless encampment, Friday, July 2, 2021. The demolition of the camp encampment is time consuming becouse all the property must be separated, categorized, labeled and put into storage. What remains is then trashed."

"Today is the first day where the city removes the the tents that are left over from people they got housing for. One homeless couple invited me inside their tent to see what it’s like to be homeless on the beach. After they show me the inside, they gave me an interview. They are really happy that they could get a place in a hotel."

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.
