Oddly, when folks approached me the first thing they quietly asked was "Is it a Les Baer?" I had heard the name, but was unaware of the issue with his frames cracking and him not standing behind them. |

I find it hard to believe that the FBI would raid a local government, particularly if it were corruption or civil rights violations, and not have a huge press conference telling the world how important they are.
So, yeah, BS. |

So, yeah, BS. A lot of people have been expecting a raid on LB city government for a while, so the report wasn't entirely unexpected. But, there almost certainly would have been other news by now, so my friend is apparently mistaken/misled. |

The USS Iowa is within range of a full broadside into downtown LB.
Let me tell my brother to get out of the building before she sends rounds down range. Brother reports nothing odd going on at LBPD or city hall. |

It's just an exercise. The federal government isn't taking over Long Beach, they are just practicing. Good lord.
