In this powerful segment, Senior Pastor Robert DeJournette describes how residents felt, the impact on families and the loss of community. "Just because you weren't in power or you were marginalized, you suffered at the hands of other folk." summitmemory.org/digital/col…

Who just happens to have a old spotting scope tripod that they aren’t using anymore lying around and wouldn’t mind giving it to a young desperate birder named Jeffrey Ward?

Living in LA, I’ve lived in many a neighborhood in which police helicopters circle all day and they don’t do anything except be loud an annoying. You know what improved the morale and safety of my neighborhood in less than two weeks? A new taco stand. I’m 1000% serious.
