The victimn is a 70 year old performer who is a regular on the boardwalk.

Police are still looking for the piece of shit that assualted him. Most likely so they can just tell him to not do it again and let him go free, like the Venice Police officers have done in the past.

This Week In Malibu: Episode 3, from Grant Hilling:

"This week in Malibu we take a look at a very grey day in May."


This is an update to Arbor Security Guard Almost Killed By Homeless Man:

Tariq “T” Ali is the security guard at Arbor Collective - a local skateboard and snowboard shop in Venice CA. He is also the first person most people are greeted by when they come into the store.

On June 3rd, 2021, T was asking a homeless man to vacate the store’s parking lot, when the man then broke a bottle over T’s head and proceeded to stab him multiple times with the broken bottle. He is currently in the hospital.

T is a beloved member of the Venice community. Even kids from the nearby school know him, and say hi to him.

As a community, we would like to show our love and support.

Please consider giving what you can to assist T in a speedy recovery.



This fundraiser was created by friends of T. All proceeds will go to Tariq "T" Ali directly.
