The woman was pronounced dead at the scene in the 300 block of West 94th Street between Broadway and Grand Avenue (map), said Brian Humphrey with LAFD. The initial report from a passer-by was received at about 10 a.m., said LAPD Lt. Gerald Woodyard.

    I’m more familiar with that area than I would like to be. Nope, not unusual. Not a bit.

    I’m guessing that probably wasn’t spontaneous human combustion.

    “It has been concluded that this self-immolation was spontaneous and NOT planned.”

    Is there a difference between burning someone and shooting them?

    Left to rot, piled up in a morgue, on fire, or aborted. I fail to see the difference.

    This just in from A.P.:

    Mayor Villaraigosa is still maintaining that South L.A. is perfectly safe, and blamed the incident on a rare showing of “Gigli” in a nearby theater. According to the mayor, “we must track down this Ben Affleck character and make sure that he never sees the light of day, or this violence will never stop.”

    Mayor Rahm Emmanuel of Chicago is also in the process of averting blame for senseless large city violence to bad movies. Mayor Emmanuel intends to “locate and destroy every copy of any Kevin Costner post-apocalyptic film we can find. Only then will the citizens of our beautiful city find true peace.”

    This is the Hood. As in, a good place for a meteor to impact:

    “112 hoover criminal gang: Just like all the other Hoovers they used to claim “Crip” but because of their deep rooted rivalries with many other Crip gangs, they decided around 1995 to not claim Crip anymore. They kept their initials, HCG, but the “C” stood for “Criminals.”

    They share their entire neighborhood with the 18th Street gang. the 92 hoovers turf is from 90th st to 94th st there are know as the “dulows” but the 92 hoovers mostly be on figureoa street and colden avenue. the 94 hoover turf is from 94th st to 99th st but they are midwest 94 hoovers also known as the “lowdowns” so they be on 94th and broadway.the 107 hoovers turf is from 101st to 111th st they sre known as the “selos” but they rarely be on hoover st they be on vermont ave. but all hoovers are on vermont but the 107 hoovers mostly be on budlong ave. their worst enemy is the denver lane bloods located on figureoa street just east on them their second enemy is the 107 underground crips (UGC) and the blocc crips they are west of them on normandie ave. UGC and blocc crips and the 102 budlong gangster crips and the 104 hard time hustler crips come together and are known as the rollin 100s and they also beef with the 112 broadway gangster crips just east of them the 112 hoovers turf is from 112th st to 114th they are known as the “laylows” the 107 hoovers and the 112 hoovers are known as the gun ‘n’ hunnet boys”

    @Livin on Winchell-Mahoney Time, so what name did the indigenous wildlife @Hooper between E Vernon and E Florence go by that I got to deal with a few times? They were a lively and colorful folk, when they weren’t stealthy and acting out being goods deprived.
