Welcome Zeke
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." - I'm an uncle again!

Terror!!!!!!!
"Venice Boulevard and Wade Street in Mar Vista were shut down briefly when police were called to investigate a suspicious package at approximately 4 p.m. Friday. Helicopters circled overhead as police arrived on the scene to find a red suitcase that had been left unattended near a light post. However, no evacuations were ordered. Officer Cleon Joseph of the Los Angeles Police Department said, “The bomb squad did respond but no threats were associated with the package.” - Patch
Crash Space Lock Picking Class
If I could ever find the time, this is something that I'd love to do locally. The Crash Space is a hackerspace in Los Angeles, and is part of the growing global hackerspace movement. - Link

Police Beat Homeless Fullerton Man Kelly Thomas To Death
"A video has surfaced that documents Fullerton police beating a homeless man near the Fullerton Bus Depot in early July, reports Gawker. The video above does not show much of the fight, but you can hear a man's screams and people talking about a Taser. The man being beaten also cries out for his father.
On July 5, Fullerton police received reports of someone breaking into cars in the area around the bus depot, according to the LA Times. Police subsequently tried to arrest 37-year-old transient Kelly Thomas on suspicion of possessing the stolen items.
When Thomas resisted, it took several minutes for him to be subdued. Sgt. Andrew Goodrich told the OC Register that it took "an upwards of five, maybe six officers to subdue him."
ABC says that Thomas was unarmed during the incident. Thomas sustained severe injuries to the head and neck... He was hospitalized at UCI Medical Center, when he fell into a coma and died less than a week later." (Huffington Post)
Fullerton Police Altercation Death Protested by Hundreds
"Several hundred protesters descended on the Fullerton Police Department on Saturday morning, the latest in a series of public expressions of outrage over the death of a homeless man after an altercation with six police officers.
The death of Kelly Thomas, 37, has led two City Council members to call for the resignation of Police Chief Michael Sellers and a group of residents led by blogger Tony Bushala to launch a recall campaign against the other three council members." (LA Times)
I've never done anything like this before, but I felt that I had to attended the protest. Even the worst case of resisting arrest should never be fatal.
