@darenreifs@cd1losangeles yes this is ridiculous - esp the narration - racist gentrifiers? who want their sidewalks to be walkable?! thats not any one cultural group - ALL people want their small business to flourish and their families safe
16,000 votes in a district of 220,000 put her in office
@Jason (not me so redacted the name) but I, for one, would like to call out that this wouldn't have happened if car companies just didn't make those wheels so damn visible to thieves
@LukeRodriguez75@Justin_G0rd0n half of poor people - to be fair ... and there in is the challenge (to me) DSA goes so far to one extreme they forget that there is another side of people living in poverty who are negatively impacted by their choice to represent one class of people only (crime as one example)
@NickBergSF HK not great example ... thats the Chinese holding them hostage ... I used to go their annually and Hong Kongers best people on planet but whats happening now is not Hong Kong unfortunately
@FilmThePoliceLA@HugoForCD13 oh my god thank you ... so sick of **big news** which has either been done by previous council, is really words on a paper asking someone else to look into something or in this case just words - period
@WhatsUrXcuse@HugoForCD13 a wealthy homeowner poverty appropriating - plenty of lower income folks in my hood tired of having to come up with cash to replace their stolen catalytic converters and they don't drive Toyotas!
@paulscrivano@BonninMike@nithyavraman Disappointing is an understatement ... its not just Prius, *all* cars and many of them owned by lower income folks I know as I live in an apartment in a lower income neighborhood, not behind a gate in the hills as the speaker does
Disappointing is an understatement ... she's well-educated but this kind of lunatic analogy from a person as wealthy as she is screams of poverty appropriation
I live on the Eastside- its not just Prius, *all* cars and many of them owned by lower income folks
Here’s the original, unedited video i shot wednesday night. One dude yells out “This is NUTS” and I say they’re not “accessing the catalytic converter, they’re STEALING IT!!
@BonninMike@nithyavraman
This can’t be real…but it is! Councilwoman Nithya Raman blames *Toyota* for making their catalytic converters too easy to steal. Huh?! The extremists on the left never, ever blame the criminals. Maybe that’s why crime has been skyrocketing?! Watch! h/t @CollinsCity
@Bob_Agalloo@lacontroller I meant that LA seemed to think KM was a social marketing maven for this TikTok videos and this was false - the audience for this is developers /landlords - how many of those people are following his twitter account? he knows about self-promotion not audience reach
@SShaken2 @sherlyholmes not to mention his wife threw stuff at staff, berated his chief of staff turning her into a nightmare ... everyone knew there was an inner circle sanctioned by Amy ... He was a weak mayor and a weaker human (not to mention his slimy dad who had NO boundaries)
@sherlyholmes place this right next to the portrait of Rick Jacobs forcing himself on a staff member or his COS Facebook group where they judged the size of male employees pecs - what happened to LA politics? @Justin_G0rd0n its the controller, its the former mayor ... I could go on
