  1. another reason why people shouldn’t be living in motorhomes in peoples backyards. I hope the family of Salomon sues the property owner. i’ll bet you the other folks living there aren’t any better either. drugs, alcohol, firearms and mental health issues abound! yet LA county thinks it’s the answer to homelessness.

    • Let me guess. You are in favor of just taking anyone who can’t afford a real home out to a mass grave and shooting them, right?

      • I don’t know what the answer is Tim but feel free to cruise through the great town of Lake Los Angeles and see for yourself what it has become. A giant shithole for the most part. What do these folks do with their trash? Sewage? Drug paraphernalia? Do you realize that most “pay rent” by letting the home owner or renter use their EBT cards? Do you realize that there are no resources out there for them? Some trade EBT money for sex and drugs. Do you want to open up the area where you live to all of these things?

        • If you don’t know what the answer is how about shutting down the speculation about what people “shouldn’t be doing”?

          For the record, I have friends in Lake LA, and I know people who have lived in trailers and motor homes. All of them seem to be much better humans than you appear to be, based on your posts.

        • The 5th wheel I lived in behind a friends house was in Lake L.A. It had two slide outs. I minded my own business, and didn’t point fingers. There are good people in Lake L.A., as well as any where else. All communities have challenges. Maybe we have crossed paths, Tim.

          • It’s certainly possible in the past, and I’m certainly open to it in the future. That offer to buy you a coffee still stands open.

    • I lived in a 5th wheel in some ones backyard. It was a really nice setup. Lived there for two years.

      • Some people aren’t fortunate enough to even have a trailer on someone’s property. Many of them were living in the desert off of Ave H until Rex had them red tagged. He of course is warm, safe, and dry in his beach house in Laguna.

  3. He’s probably back in Mexico! This is why we need to have ICE checkpoints and deport the illegals. If we had a big secure wall this Mexican wouldn’t be able to escape.

    • ….and why would you give a darn if its a brown on brown crime? That’s right, you don’t, you just want to show the public what a racist a-hole you are. Barf.

      • Big Chungus is just a troll. He just wants to say the most racist thing he can think of, probably at great effort, and see if someone bites and starts an indignant argument with him. Rinse, repeat.

    • I’m not a racist but I have to agree with you dude this guy is probably in Mexico right now I mean that’s all there is to it when Mexicans commit crimes they go back to Mexico don’t get mad I’m just calling it how I see it
