A group for “services not sweeps” descended on Rose and 3rd Saturday with banners, posters, and even a porta potty. The only thing missing was the homeless on 3rd! I guess they all went to the beach which is what I should have done.
There was one homeless that was there for a moment but she told the crowd she works and camps on 3rd and wants the sweeps for they clean up the trash and other debris.
So here is a group that is protesting for a group of homeless on 3rd who actually like the way LAPD and LA Sanitation do their jobs here on Fridays. Another thing I noticed was that I have never seen anyone from this group at the Friday clean ups that I have been covering for weeks now. That’s Venice!
Addendum added to story …
Note: Meanwhile Deputy City Attorney Elizabeth Greenwood is suing the City of LA for five million dollars because the Mayor, the City Attorney, and the City Council allowed “garbage and human feces” to accumulate on the streets outside City Hall East, ‘recklessly endangering the public’ by allowing rats and fleas to thrive.
Greenwood is the person who contracted typhus as a result of debris. She says. “The rotting trash and raw sewage is the soup that grows typhus.”
Perhaps the neighbors around 3rd should consider a similar lawsuit. Maybe, they can unite with the homeless. Rick Swinger has taken enough photos of dead Norwegian rats, has done the E coli tests at the beach, has picked up enough human feces in the vicinity that he has a t-shirt selling about “No Dumping.”

Its despicable that these folks use the homeless as their own pony show to promote their different agendas. They yelled loudly into blow horns pointed at the neighbors calling us haters as if we are not keep up enough by the sounds of fighting and screaming each night there on 3rd. There are RN’s that live on this street that work graveyard shifts at local hospitals that actually take care of the homeless sick! These Idiots were interfering with their sleep! On top of that those neighbors they called haters sponsored two porta potties on 3rd at Gold’s Gym parking lot already and the meth heads and serial poopers destroyed them as documented on my site Dump. NO SHIT!
Doubble trouble in Swingerville. If this happened on my block Rick I would have shoved that bull horn up his ass. This is Venice not Brentwood. We know how to deal with snowflakes. I welcome them with open arms on my street.
