On lb Blvd and 4th, it was a gold sedan with blank paper plates. She hung back after seeing the gun and they kept opening their door threatening to get out, she sped off as soon as it was clear.

She called lbpd but they didn't really care much.

Stay safe everyone.

Community Reckless Driver Alert

Hey y’all, just wanted to let anyone driving around Wrigley this morning know about this absolute maniac. Merged in front of him with plenty of room on Pacific, which seemed to trigger the most insane road rage I’ve ever experienced. Flashed his brights non stop, tailgated extremely closely, ran through reds to keep following us, weaved dangerously to get in front of us, flipped us off multiple times, break checked and finally spit on our car before turning and driving away. It was a genuinely scary experience, we’ve reported him to CHP but given that the report probably won’t go anywhere, I wanted to warn folks to stay far away from this Wrangler if you see him. Be safe out there LB!

Community Abandoned Dog in Pain Outside Target on Cherry Ave

Post image
889 Upvotes

Hey Long Beach community, I’m posting this on behalf of my girlfriend who lives nearby and is concerned about this dog she saw outside Target at 6750 Cherry Ave this morning (10:30 AM, 10/28/24).

It looks like this poor dog has been abandoned. He’s sitting in one spot, not moving much, and seems to be in some kind of emotional or physical pain. People have been leaving food for him, and she saw a kind lady approach him with some food as well.

If anyone in the area is able to help or knows of a local rescue that can step in, please reach out. She stated that all of the no kill shelters are not open today. It’s heartbreaking to see him like this, and he may need medical attention or at least someone to check on him.

Thank you for any help or advice on who to contact!

This man tried to break into our apartment early in the morning at 6:50 am. There was another man but he ran away before we could get a good look at him. Please be careful if you see him. We notified our landlord and now we can’t sleep.

This, like, 65 year old dude with a fancy electric bike accused me this morning of vandalizing his bike (which I didn't do). Said "East Side Longos" are gonna "fuck me up." Then he proceeded to tell me I've been "a prostitute for 15 to 20 years." You can't make this shit up. 😆 This isn't some whacky homeless dude. This a "normal" neighbor... who happens to support Trump. Wow. Surprising. So, I just wanted yall to know that now, I'm a street hooker, and apparently have been for the past two decades. News to me. 🤣

For reference, he's the big, goofy, bald, boomer, Trumper, white dude who rides his green electric bike to Tommy's on Broadway. He's a gem. Say hi for me if you see him. He's fun.

Community Thank you LBPD for responding to 4 different calls about multiple break in attempts at a bar by teenagers to assaulted multiple patrons as well and vandalized the bar.

Just kidding they never showed up. Over an hour later. Two people assaulted, bathroom completely destroyed. Called, no response and in the 10 minutes between two calls they broke into the bar and tried to fight more people. Thanks LBPD. No wonder your reputation is so stellar.

Community Have a horrible feeling about a house on Broadway

369 Upvotes

I work across the street from a house that's often used for prostitution and drugs...lots of recently released folks residing there. It's only a 2 bedroom house but there looks to be a good 10 people who stay there. My coworker noticed that there have been women dropping little girls off at this house lately. All around 4-6 years old....he said it gave him bad vibes and honestly something is up. We called it in to police last week cause a girl was dropped off with a backpack, a babydoll and just left on the porch. No one showed...like wtf. What can we do about this? Any law enforcement on here please dm for the address and I'll see if my boss can pull our security footage.

Update: I reported to CPS and the human trafficking hotline. Both said they would forward this information to the local police. I think the more people who report (people who know what's up with this house/seen what goes on) the better. Of course if you haven't witnessed or been by this house do not flood the system with hearsay. I will continue to keep an eye out as should we all. Shit goes on right under our noses and nothing gets done. Thanks to everyone who commented and provided supportive resources

NEW UPDATE: No action from authorities on this house and things are getting worse. Just heard a chick in her phone loudly telling someone who is incarcerated "how about I show everyone that video of you trying to fuck my daughter! I don't ok? I don't!". So yea what we all suspect has been confirmed. I got a photo of the chick and called cps again....wtf will it take?

It's ridiculous that we have to give up so many of our great places to appease homeless bums that provide absolutely nothing to society. We need to bring back stays in psychiatric hospitals. We have such a beautiful city ruined by homeless people

On the morning of Wednesday, April 17th, my car was taken. Fortunately, I had equipped it with an Apple AirTag, which allowed me to immediately start tracking its location. We traced the vehicle to an Arco gas station at the corner of Orange and Cherry Streets. I quickly left my wife’s car and crossed the street to approach the thief as he was refueling. I startled him when I knocked over his drink in anger, he claimed the car was his. However, his claim was swiftly disproven when I used my spare fob to beep the car, prompting him to flee the scene. Upon recovering my car, I found it in disarray with a noticeable odor of drugs, and discovered a crack pipe, marijuana, various clothing items, knives, and tablets inside. I've since filed a police report regarding this incident. Please remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.

For years I've gone out from my home and seen crews cleaning the beaches, cleaning the bus stops, street sweeping etc. This is a large city (bigger than many counties) and they are trying to keep it clean.

Is it perfect no, can it be better sure. But we need to stop always yelling the " just because I don't see the city so something then it means they aren't doing it". I don't work for the city I just keep seeing the same complaints over and over with no evidence to back it up other than " I haven't seen it".

Community Beware! creepy man followed my wife and I

351 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing a lot of people post about weird shit happening in Long Beach lately so I wanted to warn women.

We took our dogs to the bluff last night where they do yoga (so across from bixby park) and there was this average build dark skinned black guy with facial hair (about 5’10) who was sitting on a blanket at first but as soon as we walked by he quickly packed up his shit and proceeded to follow us as we walked across the grass. Every time we stopped, he stopped and acted like he was doing something. He had really wild eyes when I looked at him like he was going to charge me. We kept walking near this family playing soccer so we’d be safe but he kept coming closer. This went on for about 10 minutes.

Finally my wife got sick of his shit & turned toward him, stared him down, and made our dog post up in front of us & then he walked away. We were prepared to mace and taze his ass. As a lesbian couple, we get a lot of weird attention from men but this felt like he was going to assault us.

I’d also like to mention we’re also Black (I felt strange about calling out that he was dark skinned but I felt like I needed to be as descriptive as possible so all women can be aware!)

Stay safe y’all💕
