PJM: The 6th Street Bridge in Los Angeles connecting the Arts District and Boyle Heights opened on July 10 with much fanfare and hoopla. But then came the drag racing, the street takeovers, the violence, and the daredevils trying to walk the archways that decorate the span.
The bridge was closed numerous times — sometimes for a few hours, sometimes longer.
Now the Los Angeles Police Department has become so concerned about safety that it has closed the bridge indefinitely. One safety improvement the city has already made was to put in speed bumps on the bridge. But that’s only a temporary solution. more
Libs just don’t get that you can’t really change human nature….or animal nature.
Local residents need to get their hands on some RPGs.
At the very least, they need to get up to speed with IEDs.
CA legislature spent $600 million for a new spillway on Folsom Lake dam.
Right before a drought.
It’s no secret frugality begins with your OWN money; when it’s some one else’s, not so much.
Make them wear masks and everything will be better
alternate lanes or half lanes with rough concrete and slick asphalt, grease up the beautiful support structure, add a few large rotting animal carcasses that should help keep things under control
turn it into a toll bridge. $10 for a round trip toll crossing and it has to be used within 3 hours.

Defund the bridge and remove it. the bridge is racist
“We’re not going to arrest our way out of this,”
Well, of course not, because obviously you aren’t patrolling the bridge adequately. Another example of lazy cops. Maybe if the build a donut shop next to the bridge?
6 years and $600 million, and the idiots ruin it in less than a month. Sucks to be them.
Poor libs just don’t understand that’s it is almost impossible to re-harness criminal activity.
@ThatOldFart: Snipers’ would be cheaper.
So you connect Skid Row to Boyle Heights with a bridge and there’s high crime? It was impossible to see that coming.
“The incidents are “drawing finite resources, limited resources away from more pressing duties to ensure the safety of this location,””
Obviously they need to defund the police even more.
Then the citizens can make them pay the price for their stupidity.
As soon as the cops stop coming around, it’s a free-for-all – even for the armed good guys.
Name it ‘Squaw Bridge’ and the libs will refuse to use it and abuse it!
It is sickening, the ‘powers-that-be’ are either bought off or woefully under educated.
@Wild Bill:
Sucks even more to be a taxpayer.
Everything Liberals Touch Turns to Shit.
This is exhibit #1,344,721.
“We’re not going to arrest our way out of this,”
It’s a bridge. I wonder if someone could think of a more expedient way.
Make it a draw bridge.
With no center span.
That bridge is racist!
Why the fuck do they need a bridge??
There’s no fucking water there in SoCal to cross.
