After a shopper pepper sprayed crowds at an L.A. Wal-Mart to grab her Xbox 360 , the LAPD has launched a manhunt for the bargain-hunting woman. The Los Angeles Police Department has provided a more complete description of the Black Friday Pepper Spray Bandit who terrorized shoppers at the Porter Ranch Wal-Mart location. LAPD detectives are asking Southern Californians for help in identifying the Latina female in her 30s, 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 140 pounds, wearing a black sweater and black pants . Numerous L.A. Wal-Mart shoppers were treated for injuries after the pepper spray assault that sent the crowded store into terror and panic. LAPD detectives are reviewing Wal-Mart video surveillance and receipts to identify the suspect who has shocked the nation with her violent disregard for others in an attempt to purchase an Xbox gaming console on sale. The woman allegedly pepper sprayed children in the face to get first pick of the sale on Xbox 360s. According to witnesses fleeing the store, the pepper spray odor made it hard to breath.

“California” is a 2011 song about California by the electronic rock music artist Tom Ugly from Sydney, Australia. With a sound which many compare to Radiohead and Beck , Tom Ugly, 20, provides a rather straight-forward marijuana-laced vision of the Golden State in “California.” (This blog hears a few echoes of INXS in the ambiance of this rhythmic booty-shaker, incidentally.) “California, I never said I like it better California, although it’s true I like the weather California, the sun floats upon you like a feather California, and everything around you is hella stella La, La, La, La, La, La Land I want to go to California.” These are among the tamest lyrics in a song that dances on the ‘parental advisory’ line. “California” comes from the perspective of one who dreams of someday going to California but, in the meantime, meets someone who promises to take him on another kind of “trip.” The song is obviously geared toward the members of Generation Y , many of whom instantly think “pot” at the mere mention of the Golden State today. Considered a new anthem among cannabis circles, “California” by Tom Ugly is one of the edgiest songs about California to ever accompany twisting-one-up and toking. TOM UGLY
