I work in Long Beach, CA. About 25 miles south of LA. Been working there for close to 10 years, but dont live there. Lately, I have witnessed some pretty strange things that have eluded me for 9: Some middle aged lady popping a squat right on the side of her car in front of a restaurant, with the ensuing puddle trickling down to the street. Then the next day, I see a middle aged guy hosing down the plants in the middle of the street off a metrorail platform. Full view of passing cars as you cant hide that no matter what direction you let it fly. I yelled out the van "WTF?" and the guy just looked at me like I was crazy. Today, I see the normal crazy sidewalk dwellers, but this one is yelling and beating her head against the sidewalk, so loud that I could hear it 2 lanes away, then the next light there is a lady in the #2 lane stopping traffic with her hand up, cussing out the car she was facing and every car that passed her. She then walks onto the metrorail track and causes the entire 5 car train to stop short of the platform. No one is doing **** around here to protect the citizens from this filth. C'mon, this aint San Francisco! I may write an open letter to the editor of the paper just to let the citizens know what an outsider sees when he works here. Then I get home today, and find out there was a shooting at an MMA gym not 400 yards from my house. This is getting out of hand.....:protest:
