“He just like looked at me with some pretty hateful eyes,” said Glass, who thought the man was about to hit the car she was standing near.

Instead, the man flung a metal pipe that struck her in the face.

Stitches were required to close the wound over her eye, she said.

Bystanders came and held the man down until police arrived at the intersection of South Olive and West 8th streets and took him into custody.

Glass said she had no previous interaction with the man and warned others to be ready for anything when out in public.

“There’s a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now. You shouldn’t have to be fearful when you walk but it’s true … You guys just be safe,” Glass said.

The incident occurs as Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon is facing criticism and a recall effort over his approach to crime.

If only the state of Commiefornia hadn’t passed illegal laws depriving Kim Glass of her inalienable right to keep and bear arms to defend herself.

At least the difference in the left coast VS NYC is that the bystanders intervened and held the attacker down instead of just pulling out their cell phones to catch an image they can post on social media.

There are a lot of mentally I’ll people out there!! I vote we open the gates of the asylum!!

That's the problem in a nutshell. And no matter how bad things get, the media suppresses opposition voices.

Whoa! No booking photo of the psycho-criminal? Not so much as a description?

I guess that tacitly answers the statistical question, for those who were wondering.

She’s a volleyball player. Once in the early ‘90s I took a flight from the East Coast to LA on a wide body jet. My seat was in the middle of that center aisle of seats, and on every side in any direction I was surrounded by these huge amazon women. I’m 6 foot, but they were so much taller and just bigger that it gave me a complex. I soon found out that somehow I had been seated in the middle of a block of seats reserved for the UCLA Women’s volleyball team.

Hi.

I can empathize.

I’m 6’0 200 ibs, and have had the privilege to be on the sidelines for a few Bucs and Dolphin games.

I felt like a midget. Sorry, size challenged.

5.56mm

“There’s a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now.....”

Proof we need to reopen the closed down mental health hospitals that were closed in the 1970s. When they were closed and the patients dumped on the streets, mass shootings took off.
PROBLEM! If we reopen the hospitals and use the standards of the 1950s for incarcerating crazy people then a large number of the Biden administration will have to be placed there.

Given what a great looker she is, I’ll give her a pass on appropriation of the Anglo long straight hair style.

Maybe she’ll move to Florida and vote for DeSantis.

“She certainly LOOKS not guilty...”

Reminds me of the old Perry Mason TV show of my childhood, where all of his male clients were rich and innocent and all of his female clients were rich, beautiful, and innocent. Even though I became a lawyer, I never believed that I would be that fortunate in my practice, and I wasn’t.

The man, identified Monday as 51-year-old Semeon Tesfamariam, was taken to jail and was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed. He is being held without bail.

No pictures, no other description ...

I wonder ...

"There’s a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now.”

That is the reason I carry a firearm at all times when leaving my home.
