What an awful thing to have happen.

But from the article, it sounds like this kind of stuff is not out of the norm around MacArthur Park - though the homeless advocates are making it sound like it is.

“Roughly one-third of all calls to the Los Angeles Police Department, about 40 calls every hour, involve someone suffering a mental health crisis, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell told The Post.

Firefighters on the front lines say the numbers are just as staggering. Los Angeles Fire Department Station 11, which serves the MacArthur Park area, responded to 8,568 ambulance runs in the first eight months of 2025, compared with just 55 structure fires, making it one of the busiest firehouses in the country.”

It’s still cheaper to leave the mentally ill out on the street I guess. Oh well.

She was obviously trying to do the right thing. However…

Jesus told his disciples to be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves.
(Matthew 10:16)

Too many good people forget that first part.

It was because someone left the cake out in the rain.

Based on what the article says, this lady is part of the problem. It is a lot like feeding pigeons in front of your competitors dry cleaners.

The takeaway is, LA is a No-Go area.

Or, another stupid kalifornian woman moved to Orygone and started feeding the bears. Then she had so many bears she called 911.

Animal control got rid of the bears and, guess what? That stupid kalifornia broad started feeding them again. Again, too many bears. 911. This time she was arrested and the judge told her to get out of Orygone.

I feel the same way about the stinking kalifornians moving to my state.

It is proof, positive, that you cannot beat brains INTO someone.

“...someone suffering a mental health crisis,”


The woman is the one who suffered from a ‘mental health crisis’. The person who did this to her is crazy. We used to lock them up for both their own good and society’s. I don’t want crazy people (if crazy this person was) to suffer, on the other hand why should we have to suffer their presence among us?
