The problem is

“Due to gentrification and the progressive future outlook for Inglewood, many people are complaining about $1700 rents for one bedroom apartments.”

     Back in 1997, I started working 7 days a week full and part time, for 5 years, while driving a 1987 Mazda 626. When that ordeal was over, then Mayor, Roosevelt Dorn advised me to buy property in Inglewood NOW.

     I did that in 2002 and my mortgage is not negatively affected by gentrification, the stadium or rent increases.

When gentrification makes me an offer we can’t refuse, we will take our equity and perhaps purchase a villa, on the island of Jamaica.

    They tell me that I am heartless and arrogant for that position, but I say, if THEY still feel that way after they complete their 5×7 quest, we can sit down and talk about it. (…and quit parking high end leased vehicles in front of somebody else’s apartment.)

Could Tesla become the 21st Century Edsel?

With their stock under increasing pressure due to unfavorable tweets and behavior by Elon Musk, the FCC has filed suit against the high tech auto company.     There are threats hanging over the popular car maker, asking for Musk to step down.

This move along with competition in the electric car market, and Tesla’s own failures to turn out new models as well as a profit may ultimately make Tesla a footnote in. The history books.

A Shooting In Dallas

Innocent until proven guilty. You take your victims as you find them. Both common cliches used to amplify or deflate legal jeaprody.

     In the state of California, I am not allowed to use deadly force against a burgler, outside of my home unless he turns violent. If I were to advance the “Oops, I thought he was in my apartment” defense around here, the DA would be within he rights to charge me with some level of murder because I have to take my victims as I find them.

     But in a less advanced society like Texas, Ms. Guyger can argue that she had a right to defend her property – even if she chose the wrong apartment and therefore the wrong victim. She can further argue that she had a right to use deadly force immediately because she was an off duty sworn officer.

     Since I have not heard that she identified herself as police when she walked into this man’s darkend door, shouting commands and simultaneously using deadly force, I am not sure that she can hide behind the cover of authority.

     Suppose Mr. Jean had decided that Ms. Guyger was threatening his life and left her laying for dead in his doorway. I find it hard to believe that his story would even be considered.

     At best I am prepared to charge the police department for poor training. If she is to be considered off duty, for her own safety, she shouldn’t be allowed to walk around in full uniform, slinging a gun. Proper training should have taught her that when approaching a potential crime scene, while off duty and without backup, she should call her department dispatcher with her badge number and have on-duty officers directed to the scene. With proper training and a mindset to save and protect lives, since she had time to take cover, she could have taken advantage of the opportunity to move away from the scene and place her self out of harms way. The need to stand her ground would have been temporarily eliminated. The department may also be complicit as having coached her as to how to describe and file a self serving police report, designed to absolve an officer of guilt by misdirecting the facts.

   We have to do better, and we should start now.

fair|UBER 

fair|UBER 
is a pretty fair idea, if you want to hold on to a decent car for 6 to 12 months. But if you just want to get around and make some part time UBER money for a month, while your car is in the shop, or you have a new job that doesn’t start for two more weeks, A $550. non-refundable start up cost is non-reasonable, and barely fair.
I could go for it if that “Deposit” would cover me for maybe 12 months, should I decide to pick up another car in a couple of months after a short term initial use and return. But it doesn’t. If I want to roll for another couple of weeks – I have to re-initialize the startup with another $550. Maybe if I could reinitialize for an additional $100, I could hang or if the start-up cost was pro-rated to accommodate a shorter term. Then it would be fair.

Psychotic Paranoid Schizophrenia

Psychotic Paranoid Schizophrenia

A person who has a condition on the schizophrenia spectrum may experience delusions and what is commonly known as paranoia. These delusions may give rise to fears that others are plotting against the individual. People with paranoia often have an extensive network of paranoid thoughts and ideas. This can result in a disproportionate amount of time spent thinking up ways for the individual to protect themselves from their perceived persecutors. It can lead to problems in relationships and at work.

LATIJERA SCHOOL

There are reports of intrigue, drama and politics on the campus of LaTijera K-8 Academy of Excellence. Since the installation of new Principal Rose there are complaints about the cohesiveness of the team.
One parent noted that their now twenty-one year old grand daughter recalls going through the lost and found with Ms. Miller, looking for her lost umbrella when she was a  4th grader at the old LaTijera campus. The past four years has reportedly presented a near fairy tale scenario on the new campus. We have seen youngsters move through the Pre-K experience into third and forth grades. There have been boys that played their hearts out on the home basketball court and move on the such prestigious High School Basketball Programs as Monteverde Preparatory school, in Florida and St. Bernard Catholic school, in nearby Los Angeles. Parents report having seen members of the teaching staff move along with their students from one grade to another, while others have retired along with office staff. At each step of the way, Ms. Subrena Miller has been a staple in the process.
Ms. Miller has been planted at the front gate greeting each arriving student and their parents, mostly by name. She has been on hand when parents come into the office looking for any type of information, coordination their patent hours, arrange meetings with staff and teachers.
One minute she was there for everyone and suddenly she was gone. No smile. No hugs. There was little in the way of liaison interdiction. Others tried to fill in, but their cadence was not the same, and the joy was gone. The parents broke up into little clicks, “for” or “against” some imaginary partisan persuasions.
Remember the grandparents that I mentioned earlier. These folks are the glue that holds the neighborhood together. They are longtime residents of the community that have raised their children in the ISD and are dutifully assisting their now adult children in the upbringing of the next generation of LaTijera Tigers. These are the folks that drop the kids off in the morning and sit in the PTA meetings. These are the folks that coordinate child pickups and office maneuvering. Now when they arrive in the office, there is often nobody sitting where Ms. Wise used to hold court. The volunteer situation has been redirected to the new Parent-Something-or-other office down at the far end of the campus. Parents have lost contact with Ms. Miller. She no longer has a telephone in her office, and most parents fear that their volunteer hours are not being properly audited because they do not have time go down to the Parent-Something-or-other office, to see the books, or in many cases they have physical impairments that make it difficult to walk all the way down there, only to find that the liaison is elsewhere.
There seem to be few answers. The factions have lined up in their opposing corners, staff and families alike. If you have something to add to this discussion that is not likely to go away, please join the discussion here at www.1man1vote.com

Changing The Subject

Let’s all step to a neutral corner. Lets forget about the NFL, the Flag and Black Lives Matter. Answer these questions: Do you believe that every police killing has been justified. If not which one was a bad shoot?

 

 

Should Bill Handel Be Fired?

 I wouldn’t be so pissed about KFI AM morning drive host William Wolf Handel calling Florida Congresswoman Fredrica Wilson a “cheap sleazy Democratic whore”, had he specified that she is a “cheap sleazy Democratic POLITICAL whore “.

     I don’t know if even that is true, but at least we could hide behind the obviously bad joke by saying that It was political satire. As much as I dislike equivalency arguments, I can’t help but wonder if he would have gone in on Senator Diane Feinstein with such venom.

     One would think that in the middle of this Cosby, O’Reilly, Weinstein faux pas, a dude with his experience would have sense enough to mind his tone in public, especially while seated in front of a top rated blowtorch of a radio microphone, but in light of the glaring silence, I suppose that he correctly calculated that there would be no outcry in support of a mere black female.

     Not only does Handel hold the top rated show in the market but he was recently inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame, and he’s a solid veteran. I have even talked to him on his weekend “Handel on The Law Show.” I actually like(d) the guy,  but I’m sure that he would tell me that we all have to watch our own back.

     His boss, Robin Bertolucci seems to be a solid program director who always seems to spot the best talent and put them in the right time slot. Handel is making them some serious money, so she has put him in social media jail for a few days suspension, and apparently plans to sneak him back into the lineup if the outcry dies down. Unlike Don Imus, who was banished from his TV show for calling a group of sisters “nappy headed Hos”, and John and Ken who disappeared from a sweet ratings bonanza when John told Terri-Rae Elmer that she had “a nice set”, it looks like a man can call a woman anything he choses if the price is right. Loose lips have been known to sink ships, careers and ratings.

Congresswoman Wilson is just a black woman, described as whacky by her own commander in chief, so who cares – I guess. iHeart radio distributes the Handel show and the station, so maybe FM radio star Big Boy should take a knee for the congresswoman, and raise a stink on his morning drive hip hop show @ KRRL. Station KRRL is also a nationally distributed iHeart Radio station, and Big Boy is a regular guest on Julie Chen’s CBS daytime TV show, “The Talk”. Maybe they should talk about Handel’s attack on a woman congressional leader.

How To Stop Mass Killings And Terrorism

Well, its happened again.
Another example of mass murder, opening up the jaw jacking about gun control. In a few days we will have our few more moments of silence and the church will say Amen. We can go back to talking about North Korea, the Russians, and the evil Colin Kaepernick.

We are unlikely to ever stop terrorism unless we kill them all. The same can be said about 2nd amendment fanatics. We will have to learn to live with them unless we can remove their incentive to bother us. In both cases the shooters are looking for acceptance, and a way out that in their narrow little minds will make them famous. Martyrdom is what the terrorists call it. Here in America, we like to call it suicide by cop, gang activity or mental disturbance. It all comes down to martyrdom. The damn fool wants to go out in a blaze of glory, and we oblige the damn fool, splashing his name and picture all over the 24 hour news cycle. The celebrity only serves to create the next damn foo, and incentivize his murderous rampage.

How can we remove the incentive?
Step 1. When we catch the damn fool, throw away their ID and never mention their damn fool name in the news, so there will be no fame, no glory.

Step 2. Let his family file missing person reports and worry about the damn fool for the rest of their miserable lives. They deserve to suffer at least as much as their relative’s victims. They should have raised him better.

Step 3. Wrap the body in bacon, if they are Muslim (they can’t get into heaven wrapped in pork). Sources say that Israelis hang packages of pork inside public transportation. Apparently martyrs can’t or won’t blow themselves up in the presence of the pork, because it will mix with their remains in the explosion and taint their chances to evolve to paradise. No virgins for this damn fool.

No incentive. We win.
