civil obedience
pretty cool.
my dude emailed our local councilman, Eric Garcetti, regarding a street we walk down frequently (7-11 runs add up). I lovingly called it RAPE STREET USA because all 5 of the street lights were out and the pavement is so fucked that if I were to be running from a rapist….I’d surely fall easy prey from tripping over every fucking crack from not being able to see.
Just for a visual, there’s also some crusty old mattress laying out to be taken….but never taken. Recipe for a rape-rotunity.

Within a day of emailing Garcetti, he responded. I actually saw LA DWP people on the street that day.
Turns out, someone had stolen the copper wire that powered all of the lights. He thanked us for alerting his office of this and said that the issue will be addressed ASAP.

Within a week, all 5 of the streetlights have been fixed.
We’re floored. It’s a great way to secure our vote if/when he runs for mayor!
