The Daily Santa Monica Crime and Drug Video - April 30, 2024

A chronicle by the Santa Monica Coalition of the truth about life on our streets

Santa Monica's City Council thinks the city is just fine. One councilmember called the homeless residents our neighbors, their wants and desires equivalent to those of people who pay rent and pay taxes. The 'freedom' of some, most of whom suffer from drug addiction and mental illness, to live in filth, disease and to commit crimes with impunity, is valued over the ability of the rest of society to live healthy lives in law and order.

Watch the videos shot and distributed by the Santa Monica Coalition, a different one each day, to see what is actually happening in a city that is no longer a magnet for tourists and shoppers.

The Santa Monica Coalition is a movement comprised of Santa Monica residents, business owners, and locals that addresses the humanitarian crisis, public safety concerns, the rising crime, and the current lack of responsiveness from the City of Santa Monica.

This is just one unbalanced person, already high, who intentionally came to SANTA MONICA's Reed Park to get free needles, then was seen walking away. This man did not need another needle. Who among us will be his next victim? Other recipients remain in SANTA MONICA parks day and night, courtesy of Barbara Ferrer and Santa Monica City Manager David White. Take a guess at how many arrests for crimes committed yesterday in SANTA MONICA that involved fentanyl or meth? Guess how much Santa Monica Taxpayers give the Venice Family Clinic every year through the City's Human Services Grant Program? Venice Family Clinic informed SANTA MONICA back in 2020 that it had renamed its syringe distribution to "Harm Reduction". The Venice Family Clinic lists this program as one of its services and activities.

To the citizens of Venice & Santa Monica, you get the environment you voted for. Want better ? Then vote your representatives out !

The promenade should be filled with people shopping and eating but it's a ghost town! So sad how they have ruined our Santa Monica!

I've been reading the Observer for years. I've come to like these daily crime videos. The other items I can see in many sites, but this is great.
