July 10th Women's Rights March at Santa Monica Beach.



From Brad Jacobson:

"It's no secret that Malibu (Surfrider Beach) gets crowded but do days like this make it worth it?
I headed to Malibu on Friday July 1st, 2022 for the holiday weekend swell.
One of the key factors that makes Malibu so crowded is the wave. It's basically a fun wave for every type of surfer making it accessible to everyone. It's a non-discriminating wave.


Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see ya on the sand."


From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Santa Monica Police Officers respond to an alleged knife wielding man at the Sea Castle apartments on Thursday, July 7, 2022. According to Santa Monica Police Public Information Officer Lieutenant R. Flores, apartment manager of the Sea Castle observed a resident that appeared under influence and attempting to enter a unit not belonging to him. The manager informed him he could not enter that unit which caused the resident to retrieve a switchblade knife and threaten the manager with it. The male resident then returned into his own unit when SMPD Officers arrived."
