91. Aww..is this a tribute to a DU legend...?
Wed Dec 2, 2015, 02:20 PM
Dec 2015

If that's the case I don't really know what to say but to repeat some fond platitudes - that have been uttered by the multitudes - in glorious celebration of such a legendary and righteous "beacon of the left."

So then... Mahalo !!! Namaste !!! All You Need Is Love !!! Don't worry Zappa has our back !!! Zappa Rawks !!!! Compassion !!! Empathy !!!!




Funny thing about legend worship though. Sometimes things are not quite as they seem and the illusion put forth by the worshipers doesn't match the reality of the legend. With that in mind...a few words below from the legend and some of the legends neighbors showing some of the fondest human compassion and empathy for their fellow brothers and sisters.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Also, for homeless people living on the streets, they really don't take care of their "home." There's litter, filth, human waste, and garbage all around their "living quarters." How we can respect them when they don't even respect themselves? Get them in a shelter or get them off the streets. Life isn't fair, homeless losers. Get over it. I'm tired of walking around you."


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I get my coffee every morning at the Cafe Collage and they did indeed remove the tables because it was getting out of the hand. Some days you literally had to push your way through the homeless hanging out, smoking weed, pissing round the corner and asking for handouts.

That was where I had a guy tell me he was "gonna get me some money and come back and f@ck you up". I asked him "why not f@ck me up now?" and he stumbled away muttering.

I can hold my own, but it makes me wonder how many tourists and smaller people get hit on by these losers.

It also smelt like piss every morning.

They had to get rid of the seating outside and I'm glad they did."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It's not an emergency when you choose to live in an RV or on the streets.

16 years on the street is a lifestyle decision, not an emergency.

Furthermore, "People that want to live and abide by the law, if only they could" is also wrong.

The whole point of the recent whining by the VDs and their enablers is that they are upset they are no longer getting away with breaking the law like they have been for years. They have no desire to "abide by the law" and only want to change it so they can continue leeching off the goodwill of Venetians."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thank you for agreeing that one of the reasons the gutter punks prefer the streets is that they can be high and not have to follow rules."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"My car was broken into last July for the first time in 25 years.

Stole CDs, change, and a bottle of mouthwash from the glove compartment.

Obviously, we are talking about transient losers looking for simple items to trade for drugs.

Hope you get some of your stuff back and maybe invest in a dog, alarm system, or a nice weapon.

At some point, these losers will get emboldened and try something on someone they shouldn't.

My dog silently prays they hop my fence..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My thoughts on the homeless....

The availability of marijuana is why these fuckers are here? Are you kidding me?

They're here because they can steal our *#!%$! and get away with it.

They're here because our VNC seems to believe that Venice is some fairy tale land where gumdrops rain from the sky, kittens run freely, and the no-good, wannabe-homeless criminals have a right to make Venice their own personal shithole because "hey, they're people too".

Until they start getting their asses tossed in jail once in a while and word gets out that Venice isn't gonna tolerate their bullshit anymore, these gutter punks will just continue lowering the living standards in our community.

Amazing how some people just don't get it."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"These people need to be removed!

Tents on the street? where are the cops?

If they want tent city go out to the mountains

Time to clear the human garbage off the streets and make these jerks earn their keep instead of giving it to them

Want to feed homeless do it at the shelter not the beach

Want a place to keep your stuff, buy it or rent it. Leaving it on the street means you don't want it anymore, it is trash to be removed!

Don't give me that NIMBY sh*t it has been in my backyard (our backyards!) only and no where else

You want to help the homeless...so do I

I would like to help them get out of this community."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"And arrest them once in a while. Put these gutter punks in jail for a couple of nights and let them know their *#!%$! will no longer be tolerated in Venice. It's disgusting out there now. Signs aren't gonna do much and good luck getting Venice merchants to stop selling single beers. They make a boatload of money doing so."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
