Venice Beach has long been L.A’s haven for the offbeat and out-of-step, a magnet for throngs of the curious drawn by the precarious balance between natural beauty and human eccentricity.
But recently, that magical Venice has become a caricature of itself. Shamed almost daily in eyewitness videos of trash, mayhem and fire, its milelong ribbon of tents and shanties is now held up as the hallmark of everything broken about Los Angeles.
“The beatings, the murders of senior citizens, the fires, the victimization of housed and unhoused, the black RV terrorizing families in a school zone, the unanswered emails, unreturned phone calls; there is no excuse for your absence and neglect,” one resident wrote as part of what has become a daily barrage of screaming emails directed at city leaders.

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office identified the victims as 49-year-old Aaron Morgan of Lakewood and 48-year-old John Guzzardo, who family say was visiting Morgan from Chicago.
Three others were injured, at least one critically, in a three-vehicle crash in Lakewood Friday night at the 6100 block of South Street, near Gondar Avenue, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Authorities said that one person was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
The sheriff’s department could not immediately provide more details of the incident.
