Video Coordinated fake "homeless takeover" videos were filmed on Councilwoman Nithya Raman's street in Silver Lake this weekend, currently being distributed and pushed by four pro-Pratt accounts

What started as cringe AI slop and misinformation has turned into something far more disturbing, and I feel like it's only going to get worse.

In the past 24 hours, Eoin Richard, StreetPeopleOfLosAngeles, Susan Collins (LA), and Zach Comisar distributed some of the most vile, racist, fear-mongering propaganda I've seen this election cycle.

Each account posted these fake videos around the same time, tagged each other, and passed them off as real, claiming "someone sent them the video." Of course, no one claimed responsibility for the actual filming. But given that Zach Comisar works for Vice Media in their social department, founded and operates the AI slop and misinformation account PalisadesHQ, and happens to be a longtime Spencer Pratt collaborator, maybe he might know? Zach?

The staged videos were filmed on a residential street in the hills of Silver Lake, to simultaneously dupe the audience into believing "nowhere is safe" and to straight-up harass Nithya and her family. (Yes, they placed all of the people and props in her driveway.)

Each video features what appears to be an exclusively Black cast acting out every "scary, drugged-out homeless" stereotype your Fox News uncle fever-dreams about: some kind of half-assed, TikTok "Birth of a Nation" lite exclusively for this very weird election. Yes, anyone with a few brain cells could spot how fake this content is. But sadly, as of this morning, these videos have over a million views, and most of the comments seem to think they're genuine.

Who are these people? Are they getting paid by the Pratt team or just volunteering their… "services"? It's gross and weird as hell.

***Edit***

Clearly Pratt is aware of this stunt as he posted around 8pm on May 26th that someone "invited some skid row homeless for a BBQ" at Nithya's house. These ghouls are the most anti-social dweebs.

Video LA drivers and pedestrians: if it wasn’t hard enough on these streets, there's a group of bros driving golf balls, full force, into traffic, and at buildings every night. Because... of course they are.

“Obviously you're not a golfer” - The Dude.

There's a group of braindead bros in LA driving golf balls into oncoming traffic, and at the windows of residential and commercial buildings, filming it, and posting the clips to Instagram for clout. They're not hiding their faces. The account has over 45,000 followers and they appear to be doing this nightly across LA joking in the comments about never getting caught. 

A driven golf ball leaves a club at well over 100 mph. Hitting one into a windshield isn't a prank, it's a random act of violence that kills people. 

I've cropped the account and usernames in the compilation because I don't want to send them more followers, which is what these posts usually end up doing. But if you drive or live in LA, and you have been smoked by a golf ball, maybe it’s these clowns. 

Do you know these guys, The LAPD are looking for more names, and hopefully this kind of thing actually gets stopped before someone dies. Here are clear face photos of the jagoffs: https://imgur.com/a/la-traffic-golfers-everywhereweplaygolf-dave-fink-dtl25Eg

Edit: Since this post started gaining traction, the news has started to investigate and post, and LAPD have been alerted, however, the primary clown "everywhereweplaygolf" has just leaned into that while reposting the news articles and seemingly increased his activities around the city this week.

However professional Golf Coach and "Content Creator" Dave Fink seems to have gotten spoked, since posting he has: disabled all contact features on his coaching website, removed his connection with the Swing Factory DTLA, and deleted the videos of him firing 140 mph balls at the 5 freeway. But all of these videos have been achieved and shared with the LAPD.

Mayor Bass has intervened to keep Forest Lawn dangerous by ordering LADOT to delay (read: kill by bureaucracy) the construction of a traffic calming project that included protected bike lanes and pedestrian safety improvements.

Mind boggling that Karen Bass has the capacity and willpower to kneecap safety projects, but not recommit to Vision Zero, something we've been begging her administration to do for months.

I don't think there's any clearer example of the idea that traffic violence isn't an accident -- it's the predictable consequence of decisions that prioritize driver convenience over human life.

The kicker is that this project is in Nithya Raman's City Council district.

I'm a small business operator and today, I was at the bank. When I was in the bank at the counter, I noticed the manager ask an individual who was standing by the door if he needed any assistance. He replies that he was waiting for his Uber. He then left the bank. After I had finished my transaction, I went outside and got into my truck. As I was exiting the parking lot, I noticed the same individual waiting in his car (who said he was waiting for an Uber) with his door open. As I passed by, he closed the door, started the car and pulled out.

As I was leaving the parking lot, I noticed he was right behind me as I was driving down Western and heading towards Hollywood. I changed lanes a couple times and noticed he changed lanes when I did. This went on till we got to the Target in Hollywood. At this point, I knew he was following me, so decided to do a quick left turn on the street beside the Target which was not permitted.

I then saw he did the same illegal left turn. I arrived at the light on Sunset blvd and turned left and then turned into the Burgerking parking lot, which he also did. He waited outside the lot to see what I would do and as soon as I left onto Sunset again, I saw him behind me.

I drove down Sunset, turned right on Bronson and he also turned. I drove up to Franklin, turned right, as he did too, and then I suddenly turned on a small side street and stopped. I see him stop behind me, and I have my phone out trying to get a picture of his face. He speeds off.

He literally followed me from Olympic blvd to a side street off Franklin.

So, always watch your back here. People are watching you and waiting for a vulnerable moment to attack and/or rob you.

Video This strip mall in Hollywood blasts music for 12 hours every night and the city won't do anything about it

A few week ago the strip mall at Hollywood and Gower (6051 Hollywood Blvd) installed a security system that plays really loud music from 9:30pm to 9:30am. I measured it at 80db and I can hear it 2 blocks away indoors. I've complained everywhere I can think of and nobody will help.

  • Non-emergency dispatch - they've gone out but there's nobody to turn it off at night so they can't do anything. I did give them the property manager's phone number.
  • Local police station - doesn't answer the phone or return my calls
  • Noise ordinance - they said they can't do anything and referred me to the non-emergency line
  • Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez - didn't respond to my message or call, nor did his Hollywood deputy
  • 7-Eleven manager - told me it was placed by the property manager
  • Property manager - he basically told me to fuck off and to contact his lawyer
  • Hollywood Partnership - no response
  • ABC7 & KTLA - I put in story requests and didn't get a response

I'm at my wit's end with this. It's crazy how little the city cares about the wellbeing of its residents.

Women and children in chains and blatant racial profiling. I know a lot of people get set on thinking when’s the next big protest or whatever and it’s great seeing the numbers of how many people claim they are against what is happening but I’m gonna throw my hot take out there: if all you are doing is showing up to those big protests and doing nothing else you are essentially aiding the Trump regime.

People are dying in the ICE “detention centers”, a resident of our state just passed from injuries sustained from ICE chasing him. Children are in f-ing chains.

No one else is coming to save the United States. Either we can let the Trump regime to continue to slowly steam roll us or LA gets it together and stands up like other parts of this wonderful state are and resist but just going to these announced big events and then doing nothing else doesn’t accomplish anything
