Karma Visits LA Socialist Mayoral Hopeful Nithya Raman in Form of Staged Homeless Camp
Raman upset over a staged homeless encampment protest outside her own home.
A few weeks ago, residents in the district represented by City Councilmember and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman were less than happy with the seriousness with which she was addressing their concerns related to homeless encampments.
The encampment is located at 7323 Sunset Blvd. and surrounds an AT&T building. It’s located in L.A. City Councilwoman Nithya Raman’s district. Raman toured the encampment one year ago, joined by residents, including Terry S.
“She promised. She said that she would be adamantly enforcing ADA compliance. That she’s looking into setting up a safe camping location for the campers. Never happened,” Terry S. said.
“In August, 41.18, an ordinance, passed and we were very hopeful because finally we thought that they would have some tools at their disposal,” Lawrence S. said. “But the city councilwoman is only enforcing a part of that ordinance, which is the Care Plus Cleanup program. However, she’s only doing it when she feels like enforcing it, which is three times in 17 months.”
The encampment was cleaned on Thursday, but residents told Eyewitness News every time the encampment is cleaned, the unhoused return in the next 24 to 48 hours, which is what happened Friday. Residents say allowing the tents to return isn’t humane.
Her rather trite dismissal of concerns over the location of the encampment next to a school was particularly troubling.
“I don’t think a kid is gonna be safer if an encampment is 10 feet away or 500 feet away from a school.”

But in the era of social media and innovative content creators, her response was met with citizen activists who decided to stage a homeless encampment next to her home to make a point.
Socialist LA mayoral candidate Nithya Raman is getting hammered online after appearing visibly rattled by a staged homeless encampment protest outside her own home.
“I’m glad my kids didn’t have to see that,” Raman told comedian Adam Conover on his podcast released Wednesday before adding, “I thought this campaign was going to be about bike lanes and transportation.”
Raman was referring to a staged Memorial Day protest outside Raman’s Silver Lake-area home.
Footage from the stunt shows homeless people climbing out of tents, staging an open-air barbecue and one individual walking around carrying a bucket as neighbors recorded the scene.
The organizer defended his actions and stated he was not affiliated with rival Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt.
A man who says he helped organize the stunt spoke exclusively with FOX 11 while keeping his identity hidden, citing concerns about political violence. He defended the effort as political messaging.
“This is happening all over the city. We brought it to her doorstep so she can see what other people are going through,” he said.
The display included tents, trash, old tires and a barbecue set up Monday morning outside Raman’s home.
…He denied any direct affiliation with Pratt, saying he has “never met him,” but called himself a fan. He also said the effort was funded by a group of donors from across the country.
The organizer behind viral videos showing staged homeless encampments outside Nithya Raman’s home said the stunt was intended as political satire and commentary on homelessness. https://t.co/gDINp7B98X

This entire episode underscores a growing disconnect between political rhetoric and lived reality in Los Angeles, where residents are expected to tolerate conditions their elected officials clearly will not.
Raman’s reaction to a brief, staged encampment outside her own home (complete with concerns for her children’s well-being, I might add) mirrors precisely the fears and frustrations voiced for years by her constituents.
Yet when those same concerns were raised about encampments near schools and neighborhoods, they were brushed aside as inconsequential.
This entire episode shows that true empathy in policy often depends on proximity. It also proves that accountability for the implementation of sound policy may now have to rely more on public spectacle and social media messaging.

ahahahahhaa
socialists know that there whole “job” is to f over the middle class>>wht people in particular
“I thought this campaign was going to be about bike lanes and transportation.”
And that’s the level of stupidity it takes to be a Democrat losing to an utterly incompetent, universally despised moron like Karen Bass.
Spontaneous demonstrations need to be submitted to the local Democrat Party two weeks in advance for calendaring, or they will not be approved.
“Bike lanes”. I guess she’s half right. Building more bike lanes gives the homeless more places to camp.

“This entire episode underscores a growing disconnect between political rhetoric and lived reality in Los Angeles,” B.S. Try “permanent disconnect between socialist politicians and average Angelinos.”
It’s never real to them until they experience it themselves.
And then they just blame someone else, usually Trump these days, for the problem.
Even then they prefer their lies.
City owned and operated homeless camps are total sh– show. That social experiment was tried in SF. The former site of candlestick park turned into lawless no-go-zone. There is no safe way to do it.
A facebook group has formed called “Escape Washington State”
It is filled with people who have either fled already or are in the process of leaving; exchanging info and getting as much info as they can about their future location.
Although there is some venting on current politics, its mostly about weather temps, economics, geography, and housing affordability as well has hacks and advice about moving. I lived it and am happy to be an ambassador.
Of course the moderators had to start clamping down in violent leftists coming in and shi**ing all over the place. These people are apparently unhappy that actual productive members of the state are Going to Galt’s Gulch.
Top destinations seem to be Idaho, Texas, Tennessee, Florida and South Carolina has been rising as well.
When you leave WA State, leave your voting patterns there, too. Don’t need you shitting up the place.
The linked article is from Saturday, May 7, 2022.
Not sure how that is “a few weeks ago,” but it does indicate the ongoing issues with homelessness.
I am convinced there are two types of homeless people: those who are in a bad spot and want to get out, and those who are they by their own actions and choices and don’t want to address ways to help them out. It is a sense of entitlement to have people who would rather smoke, drink, do drugs, etc., and expect people to “help” them while continuing their own actions.
I will happily help with people who want to work, get mental health issues, etc. Those who make a conscience choice to remain in their situation deserve nothing.
All it would take is for some enterprising tech billionaire to end the corrupt pandering to criminal vagrants in CA would be to pay vagrants $5.00/day to take their encampments to a prominent politician’s front yard.
Fill the streets surrounding Nancy Pelosi’s Pacific Heights mansion with criminal addicts 24/7/365.
Fill Karen Bass’ immediate neighborhood with vagrants and needles and foil and street-shitters.
Pay the itinerant vagrants to camp by the hundreds at the bottom of the driveway entrance to Newsom’s $9 million Napa home.
Then offer the police overtime wages to work anywhere except where the politicians live.
And the problem would be solved tomorrow.
Democrat pols don’t expect to be caught up in their own comments. Using their words only sends them deeper in TDS.
Too bad she AND her kids didn’t get the full experience of people’s feces on their lawn, naked men wandering along the kids bus stop relieving themselves and getting to watch a few physical assaults nearby.
She needs the FULL experience otherwise like every socialist this will just pass on by.
She seemed more upset with the role playing than the actual lived experiences of those with the camps surrounding their homes.
I love Legal Insurrection and have donated over $1,000 to help ensure its continued existence. But can somebody (maybe you, Leslie Eastman) explain to me what it means when paragraphs are placed into indented blocks? In academic and legal papers, such indentations indicate that the text is a quotation. Margins are changed for a reason, which is to communicate to the reader that the text does not contain the words of the original author. That typically doesn’t seem to be the case in Legal Insurrection articles, and this new use of margins always puzzles me. It makes reading the articles unnecessarily difficult. Any explanation, or a return to normal structuring of writings, would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Indented paragraphs normally signal it’s a quotation.
I don’t understand your confusion. Every indented paragraph in this post is material being quoted from the linked article.
Though as gitarcarver pointed out, the first such article is not from “a few weeks ago” as the post claims, but from four years ago.
DemoRats sliding down the hill: stupider, stupider, and even stupider.
In the last…50+ years?… the DemoRats have elected some of the most empty-headed reps. Sometimes more than once (think: Joe Biden, 1972 and 2020)
Hahahaha! Stupid NIMBY poser.
