Mayor Karen Bass couldn't harm Los Angeles more if she were an actual enemy sent to destroy it.
Federal agents raided MacArthur Park in Los Angeles this week, and that's shocking! It's HORRIBLE! Why on earth would they do that?!?!?!? (MY GOD, THEY WERE EVEN ARMED !)
Also, here's local NPR station KCRW, a very few months ago:
Opening paragraphs:
For more than a century, MacArthur Park, just west of Downtown Los Angeles, has been an urban oasis for residents of the surrounding Westlake District and the wider city. But in recent years, MacArthur Park has also become synonymous with fentanyl, the synthetic opioid that can be 50 times more powerful than heroin. Open fentanyl abuse is now so common, the drug might as well be an unofficial symbol of the park.
Scenes of fentanyl abuse, and what it does to the body and mind, are everywhere, with people passed out or staring dead-eyed as they clutch drug pipes and small containers of fentanyl residue.
More recently, the Los Angeles County DA's office announced a bunch of felony indictments for an aggressive retail theft ring that used MacArthur Park to recruit and organize its army of professional thieves:
Note that the DA called the indictments "an important step toward cleaning up MacArthur Park." Why? Why did prosecutors think MacArthur Park needs cleaning up ?
There's an extensive menu of available videos on the decline of MacArthur Park. Sample:
You catch that? "LA's Most Dangerous Neighborhood." Here, watch one of those:
Google it yourself — and yes, use Google, the provider of acceptable search results. But use the tool to limit the date range of your search, and look for the things local media said before the ICE raid . It just goes on and on and on.
A law enforcement raid ? In MacArthur Park? Ohhhhhhhhhh, WHY!?!?!?
Karen Bass is a sociopathic performance artist and a fool. You can't possibly have enough contempt for this person. She couldn't harm Los Angeles more if she were an actual enemy sent to destroy it.
The Blue Zones are insane . The constant recourse to performative and mindlessly oppositional behavior has driven them mad. This point can't be exaggerated.

Vast difference in the reporting between Bass' failed attempts to clean up the park and federal agencies moving in to actually get something done is a very short time.

Are you suggesting that all of the criminal activity that you have so eloquently listed was perpetrated by undocumented immigrants?
If so, do you have any proof of that assertion?
If not, ..
Did I say that? If so, point out where. My ONLY comment on the subject is in #1 above.
If not, ... we're stuck discussing the actual seeded content.
Chumming for red herring might be a journalist's privilege or a Congressional hobby but the rest of us mere mortals would have to look at the arrest records and draw our own conclusions. Nowadays, AI is your friend.
Mostly drug addicted homeless and that would likely include some illegals.
Certainly not a nice place for families and children to be.
Can't understand how incompetent idiots like Bass keep getting elected,
Idiot voters.
All these headlines show is that officials in LA have been consistently, actively working to improve things in the area, and they are improved enough that you could hold a summer camp for kids there.
ICE didn’t clean up a fucking thing. They just left a bunch of horseshit.
And making zero progress.
Results say otherwise.
Missed the part about the camp huh? The only thing disrupting it was federal troops. A whole new kind of criminal.
What results?
