Police catch a car thief at the Venice Beach Boardwalk.
Last week, the Venice Nieghbor Council's Twiiter account retweeted what has been deemed hate speech.
The account was soon called out on it by many, and they quickly deleted the their post and claimed they were hacked.
Yesterday, our Twitter account was briefly compromised.

We re-secured our account as soon as we found out. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or distress this may have caused.
Many don't believe the account was hacked, as one person puts it:
So someone hacked into this account and made one racist post? Can you please share your correspondence with Twitter re securing the account. It would go a long way in us trusting that.

Some think it may have been the actions of a sore loser of their recent elections:
Who was responsible for this? Someone who lost the recent election?
— Angry (@Walking4Mayor) April 15, 2023
Hope you will answer these questions at the next meeting.
Also could be that maybe the person thought they were logged in on a different account at the time and did not notice the were on the VNC one still.
Very doubtful the truth will ever come out, even more so now that the newly elected VNC president has proven to us that he will lie and say whatever regardless of the truth.

The Venice Japanese American Memorial Monument Committee is pleased to announce its first in-person commemoration in three years, to be held Thursday, April 20, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the northwest corner of Venice and Lincoln boulevards.
Confirmed keynote speaker will be community activist, Manzanar Pilgrimage pioneer, and author of his memoir, “ac-tiv-ist: noun: a person who works to bring about political or social change,” Warren Furutani.
The VJAMM Committee dedicated the Venice Japanese American Memorial Monument on April 27, 2017 to commemorate the forced removal of some 1,000 persons of Japanese ancestry from Venice, Santa Monica, and Malibu in April 1942, and their incarceration in what would become the American concentration camp at Manzanar.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on Feb. 19, 1942, empowering the U.S. Army ultimately to forcibly remove some 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast states of Washington, Oregon, and California, to temporary assembly centers on county fairgrounds and race tracks, Department of Justice detention facilities, and ten War Relocation Authority camps, all de facto prisons without due process, for the duration of World War II.
Persons of Japanese ancestry had been tracked and surveilled in parts of the U.S. since the 1930s, so after Imperial Japan bombed the naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on Dec. 7, 1941, U.S. government agents quickly rounded up perceived leaders in the Japanese American community. This included Issei (“first generation,” born in Japan) who owned their own businesses, publishers of Japanese-language newspapers, Buddhist priests, martial arts dojo masters, and Japanese language school principals, for their influential roles in their respective organizations. Many found themselves imprisoned in Department of Justice detention facilities, with no immediate way of communicating with their families about where they had been taken.
The VJAMM Committee hopes that the VJAMM commemoration will “remind us to be forever vigilant about defending our constitutional rights. The powers of government must never again perpetrate an injustice against any group based solely on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, race, or religion.”
The VJAMM Committee deeply appreciates Esther and Jung Chaing of Hama Sushi Restaurant in Venice for hosting the 11th annual VJAMM fundraiser on the evening of the VJAMM commemoration, Thursday, April 20, from 4 to 9 p.m. Hama Sushi will generously donate 10% of all dinner proceeds to the VJAMM Committee for educational outreach, continuing maintenance of the monument, and funding for the annual Arnold Maeda Manzanar Pilgrimage Grant.
Hama Sushi is located at 213 Windward “on the circle” in Venice. Call (310) 396-8783 or go online to http://hamasushi.com/menus to make reservations or to order take-out.
