BASE jumpers plunge from vandalized downtown L.A. skyscraper 

They honestly just need to keep the graffiti and own it

L.A.'s Best western

China tower

LOL !!@@The_Quaalude

Dredd movie in real life 😂 🤷😫

BASED AF

Great dystopia Gavin !!!!!!!

a building = entire state? Doesn’t even make sense.

@@williampankratz600 Now now, Newsom will tell you California has less dystopia per capita than other states in the country, he will of course be full of $h!* but he'll say it anyway.

Like some cities do.

@@Max0r847 😄😄 Haha. You're right. Like Chris Rock says books to "those people" is like krytonite to Superman.

​@@terry_willis😅 yup. Chris Rock said that's where you hide the money.

No

Unfortunately, crime happens in libraries too - drug use, vandalism, even gang activity, assault and human trafficking. I am a former librarian and I quit for the same reasons teachers are quitting.

You could be a millionaire.

You have a point

Pluralism is the answer. I'll risk tyranny of the majority over tyranny of the minority any day. I want to read the bills and vote myself. I don't trust "representatives" anymore.

Imagine you think that all of this corruption can be stopped by voting😂😂if voting did anything they wouldn't let you do it. I don't know why people don't realize this I would think somebody like you would because if you know your taxpayer money is being wasted away. I don't even know why you still work😂. Why are we even working and paying taxes stop working? Because that's the only way that people are able to take money from us 😂and stop voting. Because either way, voting or not the people who want To be in power will be in power 😂 If you know the level of corruption is so bad that there is. Is multi-million dollars every day spent on ridiculous things. Yet you think that this all could be solved by a little checkmarkin a box? So you can vote what you want. Then I have something and tell you you're wrong. Voting will never do anything and it never has. Voting is literally just an llusion. To make you think that the people you want might have a chance. Why would they give you a chance? 😂 That's the stupidest thing anybody could ever think A government that does not have your best self interests would do

Voters should have initiative to go out of their way on their own time to get educated on issues. Having an app that dumbs down politics enough where anyone can vote/give opinion at the touch of a button is a fundamentally dangerous idea to democracy

Facts 😌 the real Mafia and cartel land of the free 😂

Agree, but they should really focus on the real crimes

Are you from there?

clearly someone not from CA who is just some conservative parroting misinformation.

@@mr_unsaneAnd what do you consider “real” crimes?

but they don't

they clearly don't work though lmao

😂🤣😂🤣😆

I've seen them. They just sit in their cars and watch the property. It's ridiculous.

Smash and grab robberies all over the place and homeless setting Sunset Sound on fire. Yeah. LAPD and the useless politicians are going after this Graffiti Tower thing as window dressing.

Look mom! He's playing both sides!

They don't want to work 🤣

The extreme ignorance in the above posts perfectly illustrates why Los Angeles has become a fallen city.

Who? The Chinese? Good luck with that

Why ? American trespassers and vandals are the guilty ones ! These are the ones violated the law !

Yup. Sad, isn’t it.

​@@dizzymindy6024 I don't understand how people can live there. Is it really just the weather?

​@vermontvermont9292 Cool beaches, legal Marijuana, best place to become an "influencer" and less conservatives than usual. It's still not worth living there.

How though? They’re chilling in China. There’s no way LA can touch them

lol what do you think happens when tariffs are put in place?

​@@supremewhip It's a private company that went bankrupt !

@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 I don’t think you know how economics and politics work 😂

No violation was committed by the company that went bankrupt . They already paid the workers along with the construction permit fees .

At least, to the 90s

Funny stupidity ! That building was abandoned because the company went bankrupt !

Chinese money wash. Yep it's happening everywhere.

@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 one in the same

@@joejones9520 Funny fake news and disinformation. Ocean Wide Plaza building is structurally safe .

@@ProjectHyena Brought upon by U$-led undeclared Trade War on China ...ever since tRump got in to power .

Well.. The company is bankrupt & now being dissolved. That's communism at its finest China & California showing the world how it's Done! Someday some will come up with a better idea like maybe FREE Market Capitalism where the greedy crony corrupt lose their stuff & honest hard working entrepreneurs come in & risk their hard earnings on taking it over & fixing it up turning it into a place of good employment/ housing & nice business It might be to late for that, but I hope not

the issue is liability. since the builders ran out of money who's to say if they did not cut corners on construction. say the city or someone buys it and in 5 years it collapses. who is responsible?

Death by Misadventure could be the next reality show. To be fair, I think they consider it "evil" because they want to discourage not encourage the behavior. Kids watching tik tok might want to try it. It's all fun and games until a fatality happens and those on the ground witness to it, are forever traumatized by it.

There is a small chance that they could hit and kill some one on the ground, given the amount of people walking around on the ground. It is different than jumping from a cliff or a bridge during the daytime. But I do agree that the California justice system has much bigger things to pursue.

@@ryan49805 that’s true. I would turn a blind eye personally if they weren’t endangering anybody at the moment but the law doesn’t work that way

@@jayceecee8651 maybe they could close off the bottom area, you know put a buffer zone so if someone does fall they only endanger themselves. The building isn’t being used for anything else

@@jayceecee8651 you right tho, I guess they are looking out for people being influenced

LOL yeah right ... imagine what they will end up looking like after a month ....

@@UberDriverChat better than a uncompleted abandoned construction site will end up looking like after a month .... ?

Not going to happen. Those "non-profit" organizations that supposed to help the homeless will be out of business.

I'm betting the reason it's getting the police attention might be the fact that it is located next to the sports arena. People wouldn't be thrilled with navigating through the homeless on their way to an entertainment venue.

@@TheTibetyak why are we as a society more uncomfortable seeing the homeless than actually knowing that there are homeless people. We need to do better as “people”.

😂😂😂

Tehe

FREE SIMBA!!!

Yep. I live not far and people take photos. It's like a sightseeing thing now.

That's the truth

honestly it really feels as though the news coverage of these buildings let all the people that love doing this type of thing to know about it, personally I didn't know about these buildings and i actually have been around there many times...never knew until the news reports...now apparently more people are started to go do some vandalizing, parties and now base jumping

😢😢🎉😂😂😂

Fake news and disinformation. No one's buying or renting those buildings .... that's why it's abandoned .

Arrested.

$1,000,000 plus worth of vandalism isn’t a real crime? Jesus the standards in LA have really hit rock bottom.

they did their job and caught those guys, how funny people always looking for a way to discredit police and then call them as soon as they need them....

@@thunderousapplause just seen that. I do stand corrected 👌🏽

@@UberDriverChat hop off the bandwagon, little bro. I did several years in the armed forces and did my fair share of things overseas. Needless to say I haven’t had to call the police for anything because I can actually defend myself. Can you say the same thing? No? Didn’t think so go back to driving your little car and let the grown ups talk.

yeah right, imagine what they will look like in a month after the homeless take over🤣

@@UberDriverChat better than a uncompleted abandoned construction site will look like in a month. "the homeless take over" you could at least think first....you seem to just conclude to be let in any random homeless person and let them do whatever they want and continue to let them stay there.....maybe there could be some social workers working there....and other jobs...sure there will be problems but at least a place to try and help doesn't sound like a bad thing....no one has been or is planning to use the space anyway

You people won’t stop until everyones poor

No you don’t

Trespassing and Vandalized are crimes too .

Courtesy of U$-led undeclared Trade War on China ...that caused economic downturn. To which many companies went bankrupt .

how do you know, show us

Looks like the windows aren’t painted yet

where do we write in to say what we wont pay for? Ive never known the email addy. 😂😂😂

ummmm, like you have a choice🤣

Nope, they need to be deported.

$16 for a Big Mac Combo .... $4 just for a side of Mac D's hashbrown .... pretty soon a BJ on Fig is going to be $100

@@UberDriverChatman thatll be a bad day if it ever comes

Did you even watch the video? $3.8m includes fire safety, security, and clean up.

@FA-Q20-1 thanks for letting us all know you dont know what end-stage Capitalism means... 🤷🏽‍♂️
