Good evening! I’m OTG at the Getty House / Mayor’s Mansion, where activists are planning to protest the signing of amendment 41.18, which would prohibit prohibit "sitting, lying, or sleeping or storing, using, maintaining, or placing personal property in the public right-of-way."
Seeing some unmarked cars patrolling the area and one vehicle just parked inside the lot.
3 LAPD Officers are here, asked for hi organized the protest. Jeering from the crowd in response.
Crowd getting a bit louder now, yelling “F* Garcetti / he’s f*ing up our city”
Lieutenant clarifying some of the rules for protesting the Mansion. I’m no expert, but I’d say there very little likelihood of the group remaining 100 feet away.
3 LAPD officers stationed at the Mayor’s Mansion approached the crowd, then left as protestors jeered them.
LAPD officers now fully away, outside of the helicopter above and unmarked vehicle inside the lot.
Things written in paint and marker, seeing some signs which say “F* Garcetti Arm The Houseless,” “Housing Is A Human Right.” Some garbage poured in the front lawn.
Some TP strewn throughout the front lawn. Signing off for the night.

Earlier today: a group of about 20 arrived at Diesel bookstore at the Brentwood Country Mart to protest “Understanding Hamas,” a book which details the group. LAPD arrived.
The bookstore has seen a large amount of social media accounts calling for protest and removal of the book, including several explicit calls for arson of the bookstore.
When allowing LAPD officers into the store, some in the group taunted an employee by shouting “they/them,” and referring to queers for Palestine.
Standing behind @MayorOfLA as part of their “united front,” today alongside an associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and an "acknowledged expert on online hatesharing the stage with them, is InfoWars host Adam King, who hosts his podcast show on Alex Jones' InfoWars. 🧵
In January 2024, Adam King appeared as guest on the popular show Slightly Offensive, hosted by neo-nazi Eljah Schaffer, alongside Proud Boys founder Gavin McGinnes, neo-nazi Nick Fuentes, and white supremacist Vincent James Foxx. From Angry White Men: angrywhitemen.org/2024/01/15/on-…
In September 2023, Adam King, the same right-wing conspiracy theorist who hosts his show on Alex Jones's site, demonstrated outside the ADL's New York headquarters in 2023 with a sign that read "The ADL Hates Jews - Change My Mind"
A pro-Palestinian protest outside of Adas Torah is here, blocking entrance. LAPD arriving with less lethal. In Pico-Robertson, Los Angeles, CA.
The area is very tightly packed.
Nominally, the pro-Palestinian faction here to stop a real estate sale in Israel and Gaza. I’ve been unable to independently confirm that the real estate sale is happening.
Greetings! I’m OTG at CSULA’s Salazar Hall after a pro-Palestine actionThe amount of damage is pretty staggering, here’s the view of the inside student services.
Here’s the view inside CSULA’s student services building post Pro-Palestine occupation.
Lots of damage here at CSULA. interestingly enough there is a lot of property damage but from what I can tell everything seems to have remained in the building itself.
Matin Mehdizadeh appears to be the culprit that launched at least several of the fireworks via mortar into the encampment at UCLA. He was also involved in at least one press attack.
He also was involved in the attack on reporter @doloresquintana . From piece for @LCRWnews -
Matin Mehdizadeh appears at multiple points to have control over the loud speaker which played taunting and repetitive music during the attack.
Mehdizadeh can also be seen here harassing Santa Monica Mirror reporter @doloresquintana .
She was later attacked.
Also of note, someone asks Nouri Mehdizadeh to bring his laser pointer. A pointer was shined into people’s eyes repeatedly that night.
I’m OTG at the UCLA Gaza Solodarity Encampment. A large group of pro-Israel demonstrators are around. One person from the encampment looks very hurt. Hundreds throughout the area.
Reports of fireworks being thrown towards the encampment. Seeing a plume of smoke (looks like just firework smoke for now) coming from near the encampment.
One person (I can’t say for sure which side he’s on) treating what appears to be a pepper spray injury.
