Driver runs into crowd during Compton area street takeover
ktla ^ | 08/26/2025

Cellphone video of the illegal street takeover, believed to be near East Victoria Street and South Suzanna Road, was recorded around 2 a.m. by @OCPRESS and shared with KTLA.

At one point during the takeover, a driver is seen traveling in reverse when the vehicle goes onto the sidewalk and slams into a group of onlookers.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said that they did not respond to an incident at this location but were called to a street takeover at the same time near Atlantic and Alondra boulevards in Compton, about three miles away.

I had to watch the video to be sure. "Street takeover" didn't mean people standing in the road blocking traffic in "protest" and someone trying to use his car to escape.

"Street takeover" meant the late night hod rodding, drag racing, donuts (in this case reverse donuts), etc.

Suppressed .22 rifles. Jeff Cooper’s answer to this kind of nonsense.

Watch those crowds, they get psycho googoo watching a car drive in circles burning rubber. Then everything amps up and the crowd goes into frenzy and viciously turn on the drivers who run over some of the participants. Fun night for the cuckoos!

I’m an old man.
I grew up across the river from Compton.
(yes there is a Los Angeles river)
We never went there, and people from
Compton had a hard time surviving in
Paramount CA.
Hispanics and Blacks didn’t mix very well.
I was a white kid caught in the middle.
I tried to get a job in Compton,
owner said no! although he admitted I was well qualified,
I’m a white guy and he was concerned for my safety
I will say this; Compton, is hell on earth,
I pray for anybody still living there.
I know who in America are the real Racists are!
They aren’t white and they don’t speak Spanish.

I used to spend a lot of time down that way. That was before the illegals became a problem.

I grew up with illegals!
They worked hard, took the family
to church on Sundays.
Made the sons wear ties,
to Sunday church.
Had one of them asked me to be a sponsor I would have done so.
We had more problems with White Bikers!

Problem we have today is the criminals
regardless of origin or race.
Democrats don’t want to stop crime.
Mainly because the largest crime population
votes for Democrats.
The Democrats don’t want to bite the hand that
Taxes other peoples to feed them.

My Aunt and Uncle lived in Compton way back in the 1950’s and it was a fairly nice middle class neighborhood. I came back to California in 1967 and by then it was going downhill fast.

And when they're few in number and don't get 'goodies from the government', they may be tolerable. Those days are in the past.

We now have a serious mess to clean up ... if they want to live here in peace, they need to get on the right side of the law.

Never saw High School Confidential until last night. (1958)
One scene had hot rodders taking over the streets and barely missing the groups of onlookers outside. Just like the LA street donuts at night.

Jan Sterling as the high school teacher upstaged the glamourous Mamie Van Doren. Was 37 looking 22.

Highlights....

No sane law-abiding citizen is out and about in Compton at 2 am.
