Alas, the morons are at it again; we must rise to the defense of our fair city & smite yet another cretin from Crackerville, to wit, one Don Surber of West Virginia (Where or whatever that is.) a man who gives Jim Hoft a pretty good run for the titles of both Stupidest Man on the Internet w/ An Audience, & Ugliest Person on the Internet Who Has Chosen To Reveal His or Her Face, Ever!
We suppose cable tee vee (if not electricity) is a recent addition to the cultural life of West Virginia; Mr. Surber may have been watching just a few too many police procedurals & thinking he knew something as a result. Not so:
Would it be too much to wonder why & for what that's an "excuse?" Does Don really think something's going on here, & selectively quoted accordingly, or is he just simple, & gets extra worried about events that don't transpire quite as they do in his stories on the telly?There is something screwy going on in Los Angeles and maybe the media in Los Angeles should demand straight answers.
UPDATE: Shortly before 9 PM Eastern, the Los Angeles Times updated its initial report: “LAPD officials publicly identified the suspect as 31-year-old Giovanni Ramirez. Ramirez was booked for assault with a deadly weapon and is being held on $1 million bail. LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, speaking at a news conference, declined to name the suspect, saying his identity will be made public when he is booked Sunday evening.”
Bull.
I don’t buy that excuse. It’s Los Angeles where politicians get a Gold Card to handle their parking tickets.
Because there's no excuse for Don to have missed this in the very Times item to which he linked.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, speaking at a news conference, declined to name the suspect, saying his identity will be made public when he is booked Sunday evening.It is obviously going to be more difficult than we thought to determine which object, Surber or Hoft, is the denser.
Several police sources confirmed the identity of suspect to the Los Angeles Times. The Times is not identifying the 31-year-old man at the request of senior Los Angeles Police Department officials, who said it could compromise a fast-moving search for the second assailant and the woman who drove the men away from the stadium.

A gold card? That sounds a bit dodgy. Do your officials in the US just park wherever they like then?
In England are local authoirites sue themselves when they get a parking fine.
We live in a crazy world.

The idea of Surber writing something credible about the intricacies of LA politics is kind of like me writing something credible about the political intrigues of the Vatican. I would be a fool to try, and anyone who read me would be a fool to credit it.
Parked Editor Notes:
We didn't pay a great deal of attention, but there was a recent scandal here about gov't. officials paying tickets w/ their gov't.-issued & paid credit cards.
Mr. Surber there is an idiot, & got carried away trying to make a point. But many of us, gov't. & otherwise, pretty much feel we should be able to park anywhere, anytime.
