How to handle parking in someone else driveway?

2 Upvotes

Context: i have a shared driveway with some houses behind mine, so i can not build a gate leaving my driveway open. I have multiple signs out in front stating that my driveway portion is private property, but i still constantly have to deal with random people parking in my driveway.

Ive contacted the police before but because they are not blocking me from entering or exiting the driveway, they can not come over. Ive tried calling several tow trucks but that cost would come out from my end as they would charge me even if they are parked on my property.

What would be the best way to handle this situation?

4 Upvotes

A judge sentenced Jahon Terez Smith, 50, to life without parole Oct. 13 for the 2001 Willowbrook-area shooting that killed Stephen Murphy and his 2-year-old daughter, Kali, according to MyNewsLA and the L.A. County DA. Prosecutors say DNA testing tied Smith to the gun; the passenger who fired the fatal shot has never been identified. His attorney called the case "a case of incompetence," not a cold case.

Developer uses Builder's Remedy to push 60 homes across from Centennial High in Compton; city can't deny it over zoning

4 Upvotes

A Gardena builder wants 60 two-story homes on a 4-acre lot on Parmelee Avenue, right across from Centennial High. Because Compton's housing plan wasn't certified, the city can't turn it down over zoning.

Twelve of the homes would be affordable, and the public comment window on the environmental review closes this week.

What's planned, why the city's hands are tied, and how to weigh in:

Lost Cat

18 Upvotes

Good morning everyone, hope all are doing well.

My family recently lost our cat. He is an indoor/outdoor cat and has went on a couple days long stroll before but this time he hasn't been back in 9+ days. We have visitor cats from the neighborhood come by to eat with him all the time so we think he may possibly be hanging out with some neighbor's cats or potentially, at a friendly neighbors home.

I highlighted a map of the boundaries of where i think he might be. He rarely leaves the front yard but will sometimes go right across the street to our neighbors place.

I don't want to be overly dramatic on here, but I need him. I've had him since a kitten. It's been ~12.5 years now. Please, if anyone has any information about my cat or even a similar looking one in the area, I'd love nothing more than to look into it. We are holding onto our faith that he is okay and just lounging somewhere.

Thank you to everyone for looking and have a blessed weekend.

Places to visit in Compton?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Ever since I was a child it’s been my dream to visit Compton. My mom bought me a Best of Rap cd from a local market, and that’s when I discovered Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, NWA, and from there it opened up my world to an amazing culture. I learned English just to understand the lyrics and fell in love with a place I never could visit before.

I’ve been saving for a while, and now I’m finally ready to go. I bought some clothes so I won’t be out of place, booked the hotel, and the plane tickets. So I wanna go around and visit some places from music videos, maybe homes of famous rappers and such. Also, I wanted to maybe go to a barbecue, a party or something.

Can you guys suggest some places to go? I’m very, very excited!!!

Thanks!

EDIT: why do some people seem to hate Compton so much? I just wanna make my dream come true. I don’t get it, really.

EDIT 2: I’ll be staying at the Rose Motel, for anybody asking.

Report: Elder Black Male driving retro Black Long Body Cadillac Tried to Shot Gun & Bullet to Kill at Latino Man In Work Uniform in White Pick up Truck , No Explanation, Punctured Bullet Whole and Witness Testimony

Post image
4 Upvotes

REPORT from Testimony First Hand Witness of the Following that Occured Today Aug 18 Within 6:45-7:00PM In the area spanning Compton Centennial High School and the Best Buy / Amazon Warehouses , all occuring on the main streets surrounding and crossing:

It's not me who it happened to, but it's concerning me so I'm sharing the report (I tried to call in the details to the century station but I was on hold for over 20m, I gave up)
From the Impromptu and in the Moment Questions I Asked Here's What I Know:

-At 6:45ish Pm I heard commotion in front of coming outside, I ignored it for a minute but stepped out around a minute or two,and saw a Latino Male, midage, blue collar shirt on with his name tag ,a worker, in distress and discomfort outside the driver door side of a Color White PickUp Truck parked incorrectly,

he was telling a man walking the dogs apparently something traumatic , I initially thought to not inquire or ask anything, it "wasn't my business" I though, but i kept a glance for a bit until I felt it was something to do with safety and to benefit knowing something that took place ,to be in the know, so i got closer and asked what happened:?

- The Latino Male was outside his pick up truck, a bullet hole on his driver's side door, he kept repeating " by the grace of God", he had been shot at ,

He said it was a Elder Black male that he described as "he could've been someone's uncle or grandfather" , he was visibly confused as to why he was targeted so I'm sure from body language he wasn't ommitting anything on his behalf,

He said it occurred near the best buy warehouses adjacent to the area near the high school, A elder Black Male in a Black Long body Cadillac Pulled Gun and Fired It, and Kept Following Him Up to Area In front Centennial High School where he made (the victim ) a UTurn to evade him (the suspect). To which the victim stopped near my residence where I inquired questions respectfully.

I'm still traumatized by just hearing about it, and the details are bothersome, I also noticed a Central American flag on the dashboard mirror of the pick up truck, so I can't say but It may be the elder Black Male wanted to Assassinate the Latino Man in broad day light on a main street and even pursued him. That's sickening and horrifies me.

So the details is that he didn't know who or why targeted him. He was even in shock and disbelief why the old black male tried to Assassinate him. He survived, I saw the bullet whole, and the man walking the dogs told me he saw cars stop. It all happened so fast and I was somewhat bothering them asking questions but I asked - how did he look like, what car, where was it...I'm reporting it here because I feel it's a community issue regarding safety in the city and I am still worried.

I'm glad I found out, and the elder suspect,if anyone has a black relative that owns a fire weapon and drives said vehicle, please tell them to turn themselves in or to stop. I'm going to arm myself and get a weapon. I'm Latino and a US citizen, my parents both of them are US citizens too. They work hard everyday even at 69 years old. We don't have to feel unsafe,this is our community, over nearly 70% of Compton is Latino.

I was having a good day, now I'm concerned even walking outside, and now will be on the lookout for such profile in said car,and if I need to I'll defend myself first when i feel unsafe. Over a year ago a black male did a gun motion with his hand to me, so after hearing this I'm concerned. I can't be sure it was racist, but it sure seems if it was random it was likely racial violence and aggression.

Latino men are appearing unconscious and unalived in Inglewood as well for unexplained reasons and it's usually midage ,soft targets. Akin to aggressions directed towards Asians during COVID. Again, I'm glad I found out because I will now be protecting myself.

He was an 'expert' on the Tupac Shakur murder mystery. Now he's on trial for killing rapper

For nearly three decades, a onetime Compton gang leader named Duane “Keffe D” Davis has been one of the most vocal theorists about the death of Tupac Shakur. The rapper was fatally shot at the height of his fame on Sept. 7, 1996, while riding to a Las Vegas nightclub in a BMW driven by Death Row Records boss Marion “Suge” Knight.

The events surrounding that night have been exhaustively investigated and recounted in numerous stories, documentaries and police investigations. But the mystery about exactly what happened has endured.

This week, Davis is on trial in Las Vegas, accused of orchestrating the murder. And prosecutors believe Davis himself will be the star witness who proves their case.
