Wow. Wasn't aware of that. From the witnesses on the ground, a helicopter was heard but not seen - flying very low. One pop - like a backfire - then the crash into the hillside. Even then, one witness walking his dog didn't connect it to the low flying craft.
The witness called the sheriff's station and reported a fire, possibly a campfire started by a transient. He was transferred to the fire department, who dispatched and called the witness back and reported a plane crash.
My thought is that whoever was flying was disoriented by the fog. The flight originated in Orange County with Thousand Oaks being the destination. Which means that the craft cleared the mountain on the east side only to crash on the west side. Doesn't make much sense.
Story is that at 4AM, at least five police cars surrounded YG's mansion in a gated Chatsworth community.
YG was taken off in one car, his baby mama and baby in another, and the nanny in another. The other LEOs executed a search warrant and were inside for more than four hours.
A vehicle registered to YG was involved in some sort of drive-by late last year. Some innocent guy on a bike was shot and died. YG claimed he wasn't in the vehicle and didn't know anything about it.
YG's Hollywood Hills place was searched after that unsolved murder.
Then there was some sort of break-in at a recording studio and YG was fingered by someone. Today's activity likely relates to that.
Kern County (yes, that includes Bakersfield) is still red. Twenty miles east of Bakerfield is the southern end of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and the Kern River. Amazing, beautiful, and affordable country.
The southwest part of Bakersfield includes upper income residential neighborhoods and good retail support. Good job market and yes, it's not that far (maybe two hours drive) to the beach.
Van Nuys to Bakersfield is actually only about 100 miles. No issues unless there is snow/ice in the Grapevine.
And since the locked up illegals were being held via video, most probably won't be bused down to Van Nuys anyway.
This will save the taxpayers in Oakland and San Francisco a few bucks since both cities paid for lawyers to defend the locked up illegals.
Los Angeles is just stupid enough with our money to do the same but it might take a while to get the system in place.
Update - nine deceased.
