My first job out of college was on Ocean Park Blvd. in Santa Monica. We’d head to the pier or the promenade for lunch. That was back in the ‘90s, and that’s not the Santa Monica of 2026. A shame what’s happened to it.

including two shootings in just two days.

That happened all the time in my precinct. We lost 7-10 homies a week.

And release all offenders without bond. Hey, that works perfectly in New York City. So it should work perfectly everywhere else, too.

The article fails to distinguish dirtbags taking the Room Temperature Challenge from innocent citizens getting murdered in that list of “five homicides this week”. Not all homicides are bad things that should be avoided.

When I was 18-19 in the late 60’s and early 70’s, my friend and I would drive in from Fullerton to Santa Monica to play pick-up football games on the wide grass median between PCH and Ocean Blvd. These games were “no pads tackle” with some unspoken gentlemen’s rules. Multi-ethnic. Intense and high quality games - but never any fights.

I wouldn’t even think of trying that today!

“”Santa Monica is putting more cops on the streets after a summer of violence hit the tourist hotspot — including two shootings in just two days.””

***

And just think.... if these same leftists that are running and ruining formerly nice/safe cities like Santa Monica get their way... the entire nation will be “fundamentally transformed” into that same “violent tourist hotspot” for anyone with a death wish. There will be no ‘other nation’, like America, to escape ‘to’, once that happens. Let’s not let it happen.
