Taft High Student Dies After Drug Overdose At Rave
Um, okay. I don’t know what to say about this other than how the Hell are they holding raves in public venues. Raves are all about drugs, people. There is so much stupidity and ignorance to go around in this incident, I don’t even know where to go with it.
A 15-year-old girl died Tuesday of a suspected drug overdose after attending a rave over the weekend at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum that had a minimum age requirement of 16.
The girl, identified by family members as Sasha Rodriguez, was one of two rave attendees who were in critical condition at California Hospital Medical Center after the 14th annual Electric Daisy Carnival.
As Sasha’s family decided whether to remove her from life support Tuesday, her mother, Grace Rodriguez, told the CBS Evening News: “I was supposed to be planning her Sweet Sixteen party. Now I have to plan her funeral.”

Does Michael Martinez’s Disappearance Involve Narcotics? Someone Thinks So
Mr. 2AM Does Some Searches
I’m a big believer that those who have access to data, have access to power. I pay careful attention to how people who find this site get here. Sometimes it’s boring, but sometimes it’s fascinating.
I noticed four Google searches in the logs this morning that look to me like a fishing expedition. It could be a something, or it could be a nothing. But did the Michael Martinez ‘boat accident’ and his subsequent disappearance have something to do with drugs, even though no references to narcotics have been made in any press accounts? Someone seems to think so.
I’ll let you be the judge for now, but it’s a known fact that people involved in crimes are always very curious what the authorities know or don’t know.

Sophisticated Pot Farm Found In Building Near Topanga Station (Canoga Park)
I dunno about you, but if I was gonna start a huge marijuana growing operation I’d do it a little further from the police station. As many of you know, Topanga Station is the LAPD community station that services most of the west valley, including Woodland Hills. Note: The MyFoxLA video seems raw/unedited, and takes 10 seconds before they start to pan around the facility. [See This Article For Picture of Building Exterior]
Canoga Park – Los Angeles police today busted a sophisticated marijuana farm inside an industrial building 25 feet from the back door of the Topanga Community Police Station.
About a week ago, officers smelled marijuana coming from the building at 8411 Canoga Ave., just a few feet from the station at 21501 Schoenborn St., said Officer Karen Rayner of the LAPD’s Media Relations Section.
They notified the narcotics unit which started an investigation.
“They noticed that traffic in and out of the building was very minimal. The ventilation had also been upgraded. The utility bills were disproportionately higher. The rooms in the building were filled with hydroponics equipment,” Rayner said.
Rayner said the farmers had also “gone to great lengths to filter the air coming out of every hole that might leak to the outside.” She said that all the places where the smell might have come had been plugged with liquid caulking stuff.
“But it was not enough,” Rayner said. “Their luck ran out.”
Three suspects were still being booked so their names could not be released, Rayner said. The amount of marijuana in the building had not yet been tabulated.
A warrant was served in the building about 3 p.m. Detectives estimated the operation had been going on for about eight months, Rayner said.
The afternoon bust was made a week after an LAPD Gang Impact Team whiffed evidence coming from the building at at 8411 Canoga Ave.
“Our gang officers were in the parking lot. The air was still. The breeze was right. They could smell growing pot,” said Los Angeles police Lt. Stephen M. Carmona, commander of detectives at the Topanga station.
Not 25 feet from an 8-foot wall along the cop shop was an industrial warehouse that Carmona said contained 850 marijuana plants of different sizes.
The owner of the building was not implicated.

Woodland Hills Shooting Victim, 21 Year Old Male, Knew Attackers
Contra Costa Times:
Police are searching for two men suspected of shooting a 21-year-old man multiple times in his chest early this morning at his Woodland Hills home.
The man has survived the attack and remains hospitalized.
Authorities have no motive for the shooting, but said it’s not a random attack. The wounded man knew the gunmen, said robbery Detective Jeffrey Briscoe, Los Angeles Police Department, Topanga division.
“He was confronted by some guys he had known,” said Briscoe. “They have a past.”
I sure I hope I don’t have any friends like that.

Woodland Hills Shooting Victim Expected to Recover
Looks like news outlets are generally reporting that the victim in last night’s “Great Woodland Hills Pot Robbery” is expected to recover. Unreported is the fact that I’m sure he is going to get royally screwed on various other charges. Rightly so. Am I the only one that thinks the whole “growing pot in your house” and “marijuana dispensary” thing has gotten just a wee bit out of control in our area? Woodland Hills, LA, and beyond!

Woodland Hills man shot over small amount of Marijuana?
This is why drugs are bad, folks. Not so much because of the drugs themselves as the degenerates who you end up having to associate with. No judgment.
WOODLAND HILLS – A man was shot by a man who robbed him of a small amount of marijuana in a hilltop home above Woodland Hills, authorities said.
According to the preliminary investigation, the suspect stole a “small amount of marijuana” from the victim, and then shot him before fleeing, Baek said. The suspect was described only as a man in his 30s.
