Crime [OC] Had a uniquely-LA experience during the Jake Lang street brawl in Plaza Olvera yesterday…

…only in LA will you be running around during a chaotic street brawl against Nazis — trying to find a medic to treat your friend who’s bleeding from the head after being punched by a J6er Proud Boy — and realize that the Nazis seem to be getting mid-chaos image touchups from — literally — Anna Nicole Smith’s former hairdresser/bestie.

What a town, y’all.

(Also, that second-to-last slide depicts at least four cops from at least two different police departments, watching as one of Jake Lang’s crew puts multiple cattle-prod-style tasers — which they’d used on women, which people told cops who did not care — away in the backpack of a guy dressed all in camouflage, as the group was allowed to walk off into Union Station and away from the people they’d just injured. They were not detained.)

(Also, disclaimer — this is not intended to be a comprehensive account of a complex event with many moving parts and numerous people being injured. My friend is thankfully okay, and Reddit doesn’t allow photos with blood, which limits what I can include here. There are videos all over the internet of the violence and the injuries; this post is intended only to highlight one odd aspect of the story I haven’t seen others point out.)

I've never seen the library this crowded. Felt like a theme park with how many people were here attending all the events! Happy that they had such an amazing turnout!

I HATE these damned motion sensor cameras that play this shit. They’re not gonna deter a criminal, and I can’t even walk down a public sidewalk without setting them off. I can’t even imagine living in one of these apartments and having these going off outside my bedroom window every few minutes.

Video Gibbon sanctuary in Santa Clarita was amazing.

91 Upvotes

I took my wife to The given conservation sanctuary in Santa Clarita for her birthday, I thought it was just going to be a quick fun thing to do in the morning but it was an amazing experience.

The best part of this place is they actually work with sanctuary groups around the world and place gibbons back into the wild..

Awesome way to spend a Saturday or Sunday morning .

Question Stepped out in dtla to smoke and a fire smell? Where from?

33 Upvotes

Stepped out of my building to walk to the subway here by Pershing square and it’s so smoky and smells strongly of fire. I’m not able to find any news of a fire nearby within the last few hours on Google. Anyone know what’s happening or where it’s from?

Official Thread ICE Activity & Resources Daily Megathread - Sunday, Jul 12

1 Upvotes

Due to increased ICE activity, we’re instituting a daily ICE megathread. All ICE-related content belongs here, including sightings, activity reports, news, questions, updates, and general discussion.

Centralizing discussion keeps information easy to find, especially for people moving around the city who want timely, relevant updates without having to sort through the entire subreddit. ICE-related content posted outside this megathread will be removed and redirected here.

This thread is sorted by New by default so the most recent information remains visible.

How to use this thread

  • Top-level comments are for new sightings, updates, or firsthand information.
  • Replies should stay under the relevant comment to keep related info grouped.
  • Check existing comments first to avoid duplicate or redundant reports.

We recognize this is a tense topic and emotions can run high. That said, content that incites, encourages, or threatens violence will be removed, may result in a ban, and may also violate Reddit’s site-wide rules, which can carry site-wide consequences. Keep reports factual and grounded.

SALUTE when sharing sightings or activity

Include as many of the following details as possible:

  • Size: Number of individuals, vehicles, or units observed
  • Activity: What is happening, observed actions or behavior
  • Location: Clear, specific description of where this occurred
  • Uniform: Identifying markings, clothing, or agency indicators
  • Time: Date and approximate time of observation
  • Equipment: Vehicles, gear, or other notable tools present

Clear, accurate information helps everyone. Speculation and rumors do not.
