“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.

A friend took us there in 2001. There were people all over the place. One man was arguing with an empty bus bench.

Friend said they all come out in the morning to eat, then hang around till noon meal, then hang around to evening meal, then go to their holes and disappear till the nest morning.

Yes I did the same, started out with "Who is this anyway?" when I read the story.

I'm getting to think that Journalists have to fail at a general education degree to qualify for admission to a journalism program.

The old days of the county poor house should be revisited, too.

Well, I don't know if she is, but I thought I would throw it out to see how you react. 🙂

Yes, you have to check. However, if it has made the transition, it still might fool you. So glad I am no longer in the marketplace, for sure. 🙂

Yeah - she can come over and I’ll personally custom fit her a “cleavage holster”.

One of my single son got a bit paranoid about the tranny thing because it happened to a coworker of his. Didn’t find out until the clothes started coming off. 🤯

I told him about the Man Hands, the Adams apple, unnaturally long stride and the odd voice.
You can always do a Crocodile Dundee check but if it has had the surgery the only way to tell is hands inside the panties. If it has had the surgery it probably has it’s Thai boyfriend along. That’s the spacer it has to wear to keep the faux vagina from growing closed.

I was born in 1953 and EVERYTHING was a lot simpler then.

I seem to remember enjoying those days. 🙂

I may have been greedy at times and had wished for more, especially money & women. 🙂

I used to live in Northern Va. Went to W.T. Woodson High School in Fairfax Va.

Later on I bought 12 acres in King George County, with deeded access to Potomac Creek, that flowed into the Potomac River. Built a 3 bedroom 2 bath Cedar Sided house. I added another bedroom & bath in the basement.

Fairfax ain’t what it used to be, is it.
I expect the invasion has stretched out your way by now.
I was the same way about the young ladies. Fortunately there were plenty of hard bodied country girls that enjoyed helping a lonely farm boy pass the hot summer nights. 😇
The money thing never bothered me. Not like it did some people. I grew up on the family farm, worked it most of my life. When the wife and I both had health problems we had to sell. It wasn’t fun but had to be done.

It started changing when the Vietnam war began to wind down.

In the late 80s early 90s, my wife & I put a contract down on a house in Manassas, Va. My wife had been talking to some of her coworkers about it, and they all said have you seen the traffic coming from there in the morning? You may want to rethink that offer.

Well, we went out there the next morning and it was bumper to bumper traffic for the entire commute. That was somewhere close to 30 (+ or -) miles. They came back with a counter offer and that was our out.

I haven't lived there since 2004, when we moved down to Louisiana. Glad to be gone, to be quite honest. I love living in the country.

Manassas these days is unbelievable. It seems to be a desirable place to live but the traffic is a complete no go for me. You were lucky to get out of that Manassas deal. Wild horses couldn’t drag me there.

I’ve driven all over the country and the coastal states are the absolute worst. When I was driving a truck I tried to explain to my Midwestern dispatchers that I-95 would be a bumper to bumper grind from Richmond, Virginia to Boston, Mass twice a day M-F and again on Sunday night. They couldn’t believe it.

Sooner or later I’ll be leaving Virginia.
I’ll look for a place with decent cost of living and low humidity. Seems like the older I get the worse the humidity gets me down.

Everyone of these nutters was created by psychiatrists.

Are you serious?

There is a need for institutions and treatments.
