L.A. County's War on Desert Rats

Related link: http://www.laweekly.com/2011-06-23/ne...

Tough code enforcement has been ramped up in these unincorporated areas of L.A. County, leaving the iconoclasts who chose to live in distant sectors of the Antelope Valley frightened, confused and livid. They point the finger at the Board of Supervisors' Nuisance Abatement Teams, known as NAT, instituted in 2006 by Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich in his sprawling Fifth District. The teams' mission: "to abate the more difficult code violations and public nuisance conditions on private property."

LA County is strong arming these people off their property. The county has a motive for this & I'd say its wealthy people in the county and probably connected to or involved in local Gov. These individuals want this land at any cost by bullying the landowners off the peoperty.

Agreed, but where the hell is the media ... they are dead quiet on any mention of Ron Paul. Wonder why?!!! Guess what folks, VOTE this year, and remember... Ron Paul is still running for president, even if the media refuses to mention his name.

[ArgonsRebuttle]

Amen, but don't think everyone in the cities/on the left of the political spectrum are asleep. I'm sure that if a large amount of southern militiamen marched up to clean out Washington of the pond-scum and corporate psychopaths that have settled there you might actually be greeted cheers instead of guns.

Fuck California. That state is so far gone, I have no idea why movie companies stay. Bureaucracy has destroyed such a beautiful place.
