LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. - An argument between a dad and two homeless people on a beach in Malibu took an extremely violent turn over the weekend, ending with the father losing an eye.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department responded to a call on Dan Blocker Beach on Sunday. Deputies were told a man was with four family members when they were approached by two suspects, both believed to be homeless.

The two homeless people confronted the dad, saying they were not allowed in the area, sparking an argument between the three people. One of the suspects, later identified as Richard Franck, whipped out a machete and began slashing the dad multiple times.

The other four family members were chased by Franck and the other homeless person, LASD said.

Both suspects were eventually found and arrested. Both are being charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon.

The dad – who also suffered cuts across his face, ears and tongue – was rushed to the hospital after the attack.

The homeless crisis in Malibu continues to worsen. More crimes and fires have been reported recently-- all stemming from transients in the area. The community is holding a meeting Thursday night to discuss public safety concerns in Malibu.

California Man is going to start encroaching on Florida Man if they don't watch it.

Florida Man is not a homicidal maniac, just a hold muh beer type of guy (or gal).

California Man is a whole different thing, and not in a good way. We don’t want him here in Floirda.

Malibu. That seems like a Biden area. Also, no gun involved.

I like finding out that there is a Dan Blocker Beach. I’m sorry to hear what’s become of it.

Venice Beach apparently has a very serious homeless problem, and has turned that famous place into a giant, stinking dump lined wall to wall with makeshift shelters, tents, and so on.

Damned stinking Leftists. They destroy everything they touch.

This happened on a beach in Malibu?
Wow. Malibu used to be the kind of city that had songs written about it. Movies too.
It must have taken a long time and a lot of neglect to allow this level of social decay to happen.

Ah, Malibu is now reserved for the homeless. Makes sense. Hoe dare people with homes invade their space?

Back in the 70s we learned not to ride our choppers through Malibu because the residents had the CHP harass us. Then later they’ve tried to get the public beaches closed to non-residents. I don’t give a rat’s patoot for the welfare of those snobs.
