    After setting up brand, new fences around the abandoned high-rise and plenty of police protecting the area .graffiti taggers still manage to get into the abandoned building and tag the windows at the highest floor over 20 arrests have been made and this video you’ll also see a bike right tour in the middle of the night in downtown Los Angeles. Pretty interesting.

      LA is a very stimulating experience to visit. Isn't it? I went in 2009 and 2014 feeling like I was in a movie I hadn't ever seen, but with references to familiar movies and idea. Arnold was the Governator and I went to Universal Studios for the Terminator experience. It's still a really interesting city. I hope to go late Spring or Summer for a 2024 Xperience.

    In a matter of seconds, you’re standing there by a major basketball stadium. Across from it is a skyscraper that was completely tagged. Like, wtf??????
    Cops just happen to pull up right where you are, and then arrest some dope. You walk away a little and then spot a car that’s driving itself with no one in it.
    Seriously, WHAT is going on in Los Angeles???? This is not normal.

    I like, that GiV does not gloss over the homeless. Having watched The China Show, looking at Chinese propaganda, the Chinese propagandists go to great length to cover up homeless and beggars.

      The China Show is one of the best channels on RUclips. I watch them every week. It's like being transported to another planet. At least here in the US we're allowed to talk about our social problems. Over there, they aren't because they have to "save face" for the CCP authoritarian government. I hope no other country takes a government like the CCP, which itself recently takes lessons from North Korea. No kidding.
