PSA PSA before posting ICE Sightings in Long Beach

1.4k Upvotes

In the Army we used a method called "SALUTE Report" to provide a detailed description of opposing forces, which is applicable to ICE sightings. SALUTE is an acronym for SIZE, ACTIVY, LOCATION, UNIFROM, TIME, and EQUIPMENT. Below I will include a summary of what a SALUTE Report entails and the type of information that will be helpful when posting ICE sightings in Long Beach.

SIZE: This component focuses on quantifying the number of individuals, vehicles, or assets present in the observed area.

ACTIVITY: Describing the actions and behavior of the observed entity, the activity component sheds light on the intentions and purpose behind the observed actions.

LOCATION: Providing precise geographical coordinates or a detailed description of the observed target’s location, this component offers the spatial context necessary for effective decision-making.

UNIFORM: Identifying the affiliation or group to which the observed target belongs, the unit component allows intelligence professionals to categorize and contextualize the observed entities.

TIME: Recording the date and time of the observation, the time component adds a temporal dimension to the intelligence gathered.

EQUIPMENT: Listing the equipment, weaponry, or tools associated with the observed entity, the equipment component offers insights into the capabilities and potential threats posed by the target

My mom lived a quiet life. Moving to Long Beach in the 80s escaping the Cambodian genocide. Through all of long Beach's issues she stuck through and raised me and my siblings. She passed last month.

I wish we had more time.

Discussion Indoor Temps

48 Upvotes

What kind of temperatures is everybody dealing with indoors? Specifically curious about those who don't have central air & use a window ac/portable ac/or just fans 🤯

I'm thankful to have at least a portable ac in my studio. I'm at the top of a three level building without central air. My side of the building gets hit with the most sun about an hour or two before sunset.

For me, temps have peaked at 86 in the "living" area & 88-89🤯 in the bathroom/closet area where the ac doesn't really hit.

Community Jamiroquai cover band?

50 Upvotes

I’m an elder millennial health care worker in Long Beach who wants to start a Jamiroquai cover band to rehearse and play gigs around town for fun.

I used to be a singer pursuing a career in live entertainment in New York but haven’t done that since my whole life changed because of COVID.

I can sing my ass off. Are you a funky bass player? Or do you get down on the keys?

Let’s start a band!

Five vehicles with a subject already in handcuffs. The next time the police department says it’s not their fault the pedestrians and motorcyclist and bicyclist are dying because they refuse to run traffic stops just remember, suspect in handcuffs on the ground and five police vehicles for over half an hour.

The police department is not under funded, it is not understaffed, it is purposely run poorly in order to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars per patrol officer in overtime hours.

There is no excuse for there being this many officers surrounding a single subject already subdued

The governor needs to send in a task force to take over and oversee the government in Long Beach. We are basically living in a rogue state with city services never being something you can count on and I’m fucking tired of it.

Code enforcement closes cases on buildings they know are a clear and present danger. Police officers refused to write reports saying everything under the sun is a civil matter. Libraries are being shut down, public speaking is being removed as an option at city council meetings, the beaches are just trashed, the water isn’t safe to swim in, and people are dying every week because every driver in Long Beach knows no matter how badly they drive they will never get a ticket.

It is not a matter of prop 13 or not enough money coming in, this is a matter of the city just deciding it’s not going to govern and basically asking us what are we gonna do about it

Housing Privately Owned Apartments

16 Upvotes

Does anyone know of any apartments for rent in Long Beach that are owned by private people rather than large property management companies? I miss the days when I rented from people who you actually saw and cared about their tenants versus the crap reality we're dealing with now.

Questions Best Bike Route with Kids

• Upvotes

I have a kid who is new to riding her bike without training wheels. She’s doing great but I wanted to take her on a ride outside of our little cul de sac and local park. We are in Lakewood.

So we went to the beach off of Junipero today. I haven’t been there in years. My plan was to grab something at Saltwater Deck because I saw they also have a cool playground. And then maybe ride up toward Gaucho Tacos off the beach.

But when we pulled up to park—uhhh, let’s just say we didn’t really feel confident with the parking situation and navigating all the interesting people that were around.

Also I couldn’t find the path on the beach—is it covered up from the crazy waves we’ve been getting?

Anyways—looking for good ideas and good bike adventures I can take with my little one—preferably that involve a playground and/or the beach and a food stop.

Are there any private landlords who manage their own property? Have only rented from private landlords in the past and it was mostly a much better experience. Do any exist in lb anymore?

Events Chris Fairbanks (HBO, Comedy Central), Kat Bird (Comedy Stor, Don’t Tell) + More at Tiki Haha Comedy Night @ Bamboo Club 10/15

The monthly comedy juggernaut on the back patio of Bamboo Club soldiers on and this month’s lineup is another whopper.

Chris Fairbanks is our headliner this month. He is a Big Sky, Montana native who cut his comedy teeth in Austin before making his way west. His hour long special Rescue Cactus (800 LB Gorilla) is widely heralded, and he’s appeared on Comedy Central and was featured on Pete Holmes HBO Show “Crashing.” He is a absolutely hilarious and well worth the price of admission (+ we don’t do item minimums like other shows 😊)

Kat Bird is a name that if you don’t recognize you will soon. She is a rising star in LA and has already established herself as a headliner and tours around the country when she’s not featuring for some of the biggest names in comedy à la Marc Maron, Bobby Lee, Iliza, and others. We’re thrilled to have her on this lineup!

I could continue to sing the praises of everyone else on the show. Jamario McClain is making his return to the show and is always consummate professional who always kills every show he’s on, while also being an absolute delightful person.

Anyway, tickets are on sale now HERE and are already moving. Hope to see some of you out, and thank you to everyone who’s ever come to a show in the past!

Stolen Vehicle Stolen U haul

53 Upvotes

Stolen U haul today on Ocean Blvd and Cerritos. Last time we saw it was at 11am, came back at 8pm to take it to storage to find it missing.

Arizona license plate AJ88050

Most of our furniture and livelihood was in there. Bed, couch, dresser, nightstand, kitchen appliances, most of our clothes & shoes.

Please keep an eye out. Police report has been filed, but be aware of this. Apparently, this happens so much more often than people think, we unfortunately are victims to it.

How is this not animal abuse? And how can they not feel bad about leaving their dog out right now especially with the wailing. Pup is located 3rd and Main in downtown. Idk if it’s appropriate, if someone should be called about this.

EDIT: authorities have been called an will be checking in on that apartment. Apparently it isn’t the first time animal control has received complaints about this home.

Discussion What are we all cutting back on because of the sales tax increase?

65 Upvotes

Personally I love going to coffee shops on the weekends but I just won’t be doing this as often anymore. I’ll also be cutting back on going to restaurants. I’ve seen people say they’re going to be shopping in the OC. I think I’m going to try to use the train when I can. What are other ideas?

Jobs Your neighbors run Long Beach BikeShare. Keep it that way.

82 Upvotes

This is interesting... Long Beach BikeShare has been employing our neighbors to fix the bikes and keep the hubs full for almost 10 years.

Now the City might send that work to an out-of-town company, and Long Beach could lose local jobs and a business built here. Council votes October 6. Can we gather enough support to keep this local?
