The Midnight Mission tries to pull the wool over The City of LA and all of it's stakeholders.

For years ,The Midnight Mission has had a program called operation safe sleep. People are allowed to sleep in their courtyard and in their dining room in the evening instead of on the sidewalks.
After news of the baseball bat killer terrorizing and killing homeless people in Downtown Los Angeles, Georgia Berkovich, community affairs director at The Midnight Mission, could be heard saying in the local news they had started a new effort to shelter those afraid of the baseball bat killer, when ,in fact ,their courtyard is full during the day and night, as well as the dining room. Nothing new and always full.

This is an example of how these non profits in skid row , for decades, have been able to fool the public at large, the isolation and the lack of accountability has allowed them to create even non existent new programs. With the introduction of new money ,billions of dollars, to address the homeless crisis in LA, and the money going to projects outside of skid row, it seems that The Midnight Mission would stoop to such chicanery as they did in this news piece ; to stay relevant when it comes to the funding stream.

Where we need to be focused is on skid row organizations such as The Union Resscue Misson which does not use chicanery and con artist tactics like The Midnight Mission does to get funds.

For my dear friend Richard Feagin - Sifu Richard Feagin

For some odd reason when I heard news that my childhood friend was killed in a car accident I thought of another friend we used to get together with and sing this song and others. We were all a bunch of christian rednecks. Didn't drink , smoke, use drugs and searching for wives and not whoring around. Richard Feagin introduced me to the world of anime. HE went on to beome a master karate instructor. Who would have thought. He was a close friend that helped me work out lot's of questions I had in puberty. Girls and all that. Kept us out of trouble to be two guys who were waiting for the right girl to marry. HE leaves two young children and a beautiful wife. None of the renditions of this song on the internet even come close to the ozark type of twang we used. I can still sing like that. Raised on that Southern Baptist Gospel Music. I will give alist of my favorites. We used the banjo a lot. This is not my home On the wings of a dove- this is the version I remember growing u...

To those who think that Marijuana has never killed anyone

Update: once again marijuana used by sexual deviants to assault young teenagers who skipped school. When officers arrived, the men were gone, he said. "It looks like this house was not lived in," Taylor said. The girls told police they met the men at the Paseo Colorado mall on Colorado Boulevard, where they were playing hooky from school, he said. The men then invited the girls to the Idaho Street house, he added. Once there, the men brought out alcohol and marijuana and gave it to the 14-year-olds before sexually assaulting them, he said. Marijuana is addictive and it is also plain fun for many young people . John Wayne Gacy used MArijuana to lure young men into his home Jeffrey Dahmer used marijuana to lure young men he killed into his home Jaime Green, who lives at the Southern Hotel operated by SRO HOusing Corporation, uses his medical marijauna to lure young males to his room to molest them...and he is a registered sex offender that has to register e...
