Street Fight in front of Downtown Nightclubs Results in Murder
$50000 Reward Offered in Connection with Case Los Angeles: Detectives released video of two suspects from a January 2012 murder in downtown Los Angeles and announced a $50000 reward sponsored by District 9 Los Angeles City Councilmember Jan Perry in an effort to identify the two key suspects. On Jan. 28, 2012, as patrons spilled out of two downtown nightclubs, two groups of men got in an argument on the sidewalk. Their encounter escalated into a shooting during which four men were shot and one died at the intersection of Hill Street and Olympic Boulevard. “This literally started over one guy bumping into another guy on the sidewalk,” said Detective Thayer Lake, lead detective for the investigation out of the LAPD Central Detective Division. “By all accounts, this was testosterone and liquor driven and never had to happen.” Fernando Hernandez, 23, of Culver City was one of four men shot that night. He died of a head wound. The other three men recovered. In spite of dozens of witnesses, no one has come forward with names of the shooters. Detectives have pored over video footage from the area and interviewed witnesses. “We’ve narrowed down the investigation to two men seen walking in a video with two women in front of the Mayan night club on Hill Street,” Detective Lake explained. “We need someone to come forward and tell us who these two men are.” **Video footage of the suspects is available at www.lapdtv.org or by recording from monitors at LAPD’s Central Police Station …
Los Angeles Porn Condom Law
Porn movie actors must wear condoms to film in Los Angeles, according to the L.A. City Council which voted 9-1 to outlaw bareback porn production in the Porn Capitol of the World . Porn industry companies argue that nobody wants to pay for adult films to look at condoms, so bareback film producers are threatening to leave the San Fernando Valley and turn family-friendly Ventura County into the new porn capitol. What angers the adult film industry most of all are the random government inspections for condom usage now mandated by the Los Angeles City Council’s decision. “This is government overreach,” declared Diane Duke of the Free Speech Coalition . “It’s not about performer health and safety; it’s about government regulating what happens between consenting adults.” Porn filmmakers insist that condoms are not necessary because the erotic film industry requires that bareback porn actors test for sexually transmitted diseases each month when they are working. Others feel differently, however. “It’s a great day for the performers and safer sex in our society,” said AIDS Healthcare Foundation President Michael Weinstein. “This is the first legislative body to take up the issue and the near-unanimous support is very gratifying.” There is also a push to get similar legislation passed for all of Los Angeles County, as well as San Francisco County, for all productions of gay porn, straight porn, lesbian porn and group porn. The new L.A. ordinance would deny film permits to porn producers who do not comply with the new condom law.
