No report was filed with the Los Angeles Police Department.
A naked woman armed with a medieval-looking bat got into a fight with another woman on the boardwalk at Venice Beach, California, as onlookers watched and recorded the bizarre altercation.
Video obtained by NBC Los Angeles shows the two women – one of them in the nude – swinging at each other with what appeared to be a spiked club and a bat. The shocking incident, which occurred in broad daylight on Monday, wasn't out of the ordinary for locals who say many in the community suffer from mental health issues.
Phil Bourque, who works at a nearby store, captured footage of the unusual fight.
“Like, they were fighting and then people were gathering around watching,” he said of the crowd. “I mean, entertaining, that’s all I can say.”
At some point during the fight, the clothed woman threw her weapon, giving her nude opponent the chance to scoop it up and swing both of them in the air before strutting down the boardwalk.
“It looks like she was kind of winning,” Joe Ayala said of the unclothed woman.
Ayala said he’d seen the naked woman before drinking nearby and riding a bicycle along the beach. According to Ayala, it isn’t unusual to see that woman in the nude.
“You have to remember that a lot of the people that are homeless out here, 85% of them have a mental issue or some kind of trauma that has pushed them to like where their limits get exceeded,” he said. "Somebody should have helped. Somebody should have stepped it, but a lot of people were probably freaked out by a naked woman fighting."
Although the daytime duel caught the attention of several spectators, no one called the police. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said the crimes seen in the video are assault with a deadly weapon and indecent exposure. However, no report was filed with the department.
Ayala also said he wasn’t surprised that the event went unreported, saying these types of bizarre incidents are something commonly seen in the area.
I’m going to still talk about it as an economic problem.
Lavish state welfare benefits=homelessness epidemic-
From Hawaii to New York, they’ve done the rest of us a wonderful service by attracting the mentally ill out of the other states.
Keep up the good work.
It was a bit before my time, but there were documentaries (ex. Titticut follies) of how horrible mental institutions were in the 1960s. That spurred the effort to close them down and throw the crazy people into alleys. At this point, sensible people should look back at the “horrible” mental institutions of the 1960s and say that they were a lot better than the drug ravaged streets of the 21st century. Mental institutions should not be luxurious and no one should aspire to the “easy life” of the nuthouse. They can be bad places. But they can easily be better than being homeless in an alley.
Liberals want perfection. That’s why they closed state mental hospitals. They think the situation on Venice Beach is an improvement. Liberals get everything wrong.
You’ve been remarkably clear case lately-good job.
I agree with your replies to an extent.
It’s the concentration that is the biggest problem.
If the people were spread out more evenly, the states could probably handle it better than the current super concentrations in the wealthy blue states.
When the Polynesians inhabited Hawaii, everyone had a hut. It took pathological wealthy liberals to create an homelessness epidemic. They’ll create endless govt to solve the problem that they created and feel great about themselves in the process.
Too true.
Wasn’t there once an exotic car maker not far from Venice Beach? Or a business that posed as an exotic car maker? I can’t recall the name.
A lot more appealing than the sow....
Yes, that’s true!
But at least “The sow” tried to stop her!
Besides, the alley cat is waaaaaaaay off the
crazy meter!
Maybe? I’ve forgotten as much as I remember from the wild 90s:)
When I went to that page the only picture I could see was of Charles waving accompanied by the title “King Charles’ wife Queen Camilla taking a break from royal duties”.
Hmm...I should say so.

Vector Motors had a facility in Wilmington, CA, but that's not where my building was located. I'm unsure of the time period, probably during the 1970's.
I was curious about whether or not the business ever got off the ground. I guess the answer is no.
Politicians are always ready to spend however much or your money they think they need to in order to solve a problem they created.
I think this was staged. At times when the naked woman is defenseless, she could have been easily overcomed. Also, her prancing around looks like some sort of staged event to hit the internet.
Crazy aside, the STDs are probably fatal to you.
They are, and they WILL kill you!
The marquis De Sade died from it!
from the CDC:https://www.cdc.gov/std/gonorrhea/stdfact-gonorrhea-detailed.htm
There is some evidence that some STDs are DRUG RESISTANT.
Already showing up in Massachusetts!
