WEHO'S CRIME RATE IS ABOUT 130% GREATER THAN OTHER AMERICAN CITIES THE SAME SIZE. HERE ARE BUT A FEW OF THE CAUSES.
The City of West Hollywood, California is renowned for its trendy dining and entertainment scene, liberal politics, and a heavily gay population.
HERE'S A FEW OTHER THINGS WeHo IS ALSO KNOW FOR:
A city operated by two parasitic gamer lawyers known as 'The Two Johns', these are John Duran and John Heilman. They run the city for bribes and their crony developers (DO A SEARCH FOR JOHN DURAND AND TRUMPER WHORE STORMY DANIELS).
We don't know how much in bribes the two gamer lawyers John & John have siphoned off as is the pattern of the Democrat Party. It is documented that former WeHo resident and former Gov Gray Davis pocketed a massive fortune in bribes siphoned off through his wife. Los Angeles Rep. Maxine Waters can't stop counting the wads she's siphoned off through her daughter and former Senator Barabara Boxer siphoned off a fortune through her son lawyer Doug Boxer (there's always a parasite lawyer involved, isn't there?)
WeHo is a drug dealers dream. Dope Houses abound almost as much as massage parlors. Drug dealers will over their goods all over the city and not much, if anything is done about it.
WeHo is a La Raza Sanctuary City perpetrated by the two pig lawyers, John Duran and John Heilman. After all, they wouldn't want their cronies to have to pay a living wage! These mean these two corrupt pig lawyers are Dems??? You bet! And so fuking corrupt they were both endorse by the local Democrat Party.
WeHo's numerous subcontractors typically only hire LA RAZA, as paying legals a living wages may get expensive.
WeHo's unofficial language is Spanish. Push 2 for English. Voting ballets are printed in Spanish and Russian so the illegals and the Russian occupiers are not reduced into speaking the occupieds' language.
Because La Raza 'The Race' is fundamentally a racist branch of the Democrat Party (yes, Mexicans consider themselves a superior 'race'), there are many businesses operating in WeHo which !ONLY! hire Mexicans. MANY!
WeHo's policing is done be Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept., a highly corrupt and Mex gang infested gig. Virtually ALL of WeHo's sheriff's are Mexican with only a token black here in there. Do a google search for the L.A.Sheriff and corruption, Mex gangs.
Most of the crimes in WeHo are perpetrated by ghetto blacks comeing from black communities because the drug culture is so vibrant. If you are offered drugs, assaulted, or have your property assaulted, it's overwhelmingly likely to be by a black, ditto the nation. Democrat party-controlled black crime infested cities are not only the big ones!
You can't go into a store in WeHo without see blacks running out the door with their arms full of stolen merchandize. But that's OK, BLM informs us as Whitey made them do it!
WeHo can spend massive amounts of money to keep their yuppies happy and voting Dem for more. The new WeHo pool, which cost tens of millions, and was built only yards from the Olympic-sized old pool, is but one example.
WeHo's streets are thronged with the homeless and mentally ill people waving to the Bentleys speeding by them
James Woods mocks the unarmed ‘safety ambassadors’ that have replaced armed cops in West Hollywood
The City of West Hollywood, California is renowned for its trendy dining and entertainment scene, liberal politics, and a heavily gay population. Its city council also voted to replace four armed peace officers (Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies, contracted to provide police services to the city) with 85 unarmed “safety ambassadors”, as part of the “defund the police” frenzy that gripped progressives following the death in police custody of George Floyd.
Actor James Woods took note of a recent incident in which 2 such “ambassadors” stood around while violet criminals vandalized and robbed a car right in front of them:
The claim is made that crime has gone down in West Hollywood, but the same claim is made in Manhattan under DA Bragg, where fewer people report crimes because they know the perps will be back on the street right away, and cops don’t make arrests for the same reason. I don’t know the situation in West Hollywood, but it has Soros-backed George Gascon as its DA, so the same reasoning could well apply. Whatever the case, these (and other) violent criminals in WeHo, as the city is called, are aware that the ambassadors are unarmed. As a local business owner told ABC 7:
"More eyes who are noticing what's happening, lots more calls but less arms and legs to respond to the calls," said Larry Block, a West Hollywood business owner who believes the city needs to return the funding it cut from the sheriff's department to get more deputies out in the streets.
"Armed people can do something, they're intimidating, the security ambassadors walk around aimlessly, not really knowing what to do," said Block.
How long will this madness continue? James Woods is a truth teller. If he had been listened to when he warned of strange behavior of some passengers on a NY to LA flight in 2001, the World Trade Center twin towers might still be standing.

Ed Buck Was Protected. He Still Is. Part III
By Grant Baker
This is a continuation of the story Ed Buck was protected. He still is. -- See Part 1 and Part 2
Despite multiple escorts dying of methamphetamine overdose in his West Hollywood apartment since 2017, Democratic megadonor Ed Buck managed to evade charges for over two years. From my previous article:
Buck’s life continued uninterrupted until September, when a third overdose victim managed to escape the apartment, sparking federal charges. Like Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, the event brought a deluge of condemnations from his former friends, each denying knowledge of misdeeds and misrepresenting past relationships. Even the District Attorney’s office finally pressed charges.
What could have bought Ed Buck so many layers of protection?
West Hollywood politics has a glimmering rainbow surface, but the authentic underlying powers are real estate interests. The City Council controls the fate of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of development projects, a fact reflected in their campaign contributions. “Developers don’t drop tens of thousands of dollars in West Hollywood because they like the City’s position on gay marriage, says former West Hollywood Mayor Steve Martin.
With a huge war chest supporting them, a small handful of politicians reduced the government of West Hollywood to a game of musical chairs. John Duran, John D`Amico, John Heilman, Jeffrey Prang, and Abbe Land would bounce back and forth between the Mayor’s Office and City Council for decades, winning eighteen out of the last twenty-one mayoral elections between them.
Ed Buck played a variety of supporting roles in the political machinery, buoying the chosen few.
D’Amico’s political career was launched on the back of Buck’s support, winning a seat on City Council after marching through West Hollywood with Buck promoting his “Fur Free WeHo” campaign. Buck’s donations and connections to other major donors, including billionaire Gary Michelson, brought tens of thousands of dollars to Buck’s friends on City Council through multiple entities sharing the name ANIMAL PAC.
Buck’s money also bought him a position on the Steering Committee of the Stonewall Democratic Club, the kingmaker of West Hollywood politics. Buck used his position on the Steering Committee to influence Stonewall’s secretive endorsement process, one “designed to protect incumbents and well-financed, well-connected candidates,” says a former Steering Committee member. Stonewall rank and file must have wondered why the LGBTQ group was promoting candidates for County Tax Assessor and Board of Equalization. Buck was so useful, Abbe Land would open City Council meetings by calling him to recite the pledge of allegiance.
Officially retired since his early thirties, Buck would not have had the money to sustain his prolific spending habits relating to drugs, escorts, and politics. His biggest payday was in the 1980s when he flipped his friend’s business, Gopher Courier, to profit just over a million dollars, after which he lost money investing into pay-phones and a restaurant.
After moving to West Hollywood, Buck was suspiciously cash-rich and asset poor, driving a wreck of a car and living in a rent-controlled apartment. Journalists paint Buck as a wealthy social climber, but his finances and lifestyle suggest he was a dirty political operative.
Data from California’s political contribution records is highly truncated, but campaign finance rules create patterns that highlight alliances.
One can skirt contribution limits and obscure contribution origins by breaking up large donations into smaller payments and passing them through family members and political allies, so I looked for donors that matched Buck’s donations.
He donated varying amounts to plenty of politicians and causes, but there were consistent primary beneficiaries such as Jeffrey Prang, John Duran, Scott Svonkin, Honesty PAC, and of course, his ANIMAL PACs. The highly incestuous top donors who also supported Prang, Duran, Svonkin, and Buck’s PACs were real estate interests, chief among them being Excel Property Management Services managed by CEO Arman Gabay. Arman Gabay and his company funded Jeffrey Prang’s successful 2014 Los Angeles County Assessor bid with the help of Ed Buck, Ed Buck’s future attorney Seymour Amster, ANIMAL PAC, John Duran, West Hollywood activists, and various real estate interests. The same donors also funded periphery candidates who endorsed Prang and Svonkin.
As County Assessor, Jeffrey Prang controls property taxes on $1.7 trillion worth of property, explaining why his donors are real estate interests. The Tax Assessor is a notoriously corrupt office, both in Los Angeles and across the country. Jeffrey Prang’s predecessor was arrested by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office on bribery charges after selling tax breaks. Eighteen Tax Assessors in New York City were arrested on bribery charges after real estate developer Donald Trump realized he was paying more in taxes than his competitors.
This is where Scott Svonkin’s role comes in. Funded by Ed Buck, Buck’s attorney Seymour Amster, and a small handful of real estate interests after Gemmel Moore’s death in Buck’s apartment, Honesty PAC was created solely to fund Scott Svonkin’s 2018 for Board of Equalization, an oversight position overseeing the County Tax Assessor Jeffrey Prang. The kicker: Scott Svonkin was an aide to Jeffrey Prang while he served on West Hollywood City Council.
Scott Svonkin’s 2018 bid was unsuccessful, but the setback did not deter Jeffrey Prang. Whistleblowers filed suit against Prang for giving favorable tax treatment to West Hollywood real estate interests by intentionally losing legal cases, reversing property tax decisions, and reimbursing millions of dollars in back taxes for favored companies and individuals. Worse, Arman Gabay was arrested in May 2018 for allegedly soliciting preferable tax treatment from County Officials, soliciting public funds for his development projects, trading political donations in exchange for help on West Hollywood development projects, and other crimes involving political patronage. From a January 2020 prosecutor's motion: “in another phone call agents intercepted on or about April 22, 2017, defendant made clear why he donates to public officials -- he expects things in return.” When asked to contribute to reelect “Public Official 5,” he refused “because the last time he donated, defendant did not get anything from Public Official 5. Referring to Public Official 5, defendant said “f[*]ck him.”
If Arman Gabay had helpful public officials on his payroll, he and others likely had Ed Buck on it, too, which would explain Buck’s mysterious revenue stream. Buck’s choice of Christopher Darden as his defense attorney shows he still has plenty of cash to play with and that investigators aren’t chasing down where it comes from. Prosecutors seem to know Buck’s income is off the books; they requested an order from the court to ensure “no portion of the proffered bail was feloniously obtained.” Even from jail, Buck still has cards to play, especially if his corruption touches politicians or some in the district attorney’s office.
Journalists in Los Angeles are playing defense for Buck’s protective matrix instead of investigating corruption in Buck’s political circles. A New York Times article by Jesse Barron attempts to temper expectations about the trial’s outcome. The article also claims Buck’s half a million dollars in donations to Democrats weren’t protective, attempts to legitimize Buck’s finances, and portrays John Duran as Buck's enemy.
While the district attorney’s office was supposed to be investigating Ed Buck, Deputy District Attorney David Berger donated to Buck’s ANIMAL PAC, making him one of the PAC’s four donors in 2018. He subsequently received support from John Duran and was endorsed by Stonewall in his bid for judge.
