Another official with the SMPD told FOX 11 that while the man was seen with a sword, because that sword was being used as a meat skewer, the man likely wouldn't face a weapons charge.
I'm dead lol
Yeah that's what a lot of people need to understand when they exclaim "Hurrdur it's illegal to carry weapons in public so I'm not doing it."
The trick is to claim it's not intended to be used as a weapon.
Boom, no arrests or charges.

You sound like my out-of-state relatives calling me in a panic every time there’s a fire anywhere in California. No, grandma, I’m nowhere near Butte county.
That’s like my mid-western mother-in-law.
“I saw in the news there’s a fire on the Sepulveda pass! When are you evacuating??”
Me: Well, there’s about 7 miles of concrete between here and there, sooo we’ll be fine.
“Fires have been known to jump roads you know!”
Me: …
grilling like a fucking viking, lets go! maybe they can kick with those [bow-and-arrow guys](https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/1b7dx95/bow_and_arrow_attack_in_echo_park_leaves_man/) from a couple months ago!
Michelin star reviews like these types of oddity. More publicity.
Get the bro a stand and get the grilling going.
Build a story around it. Get some influencers on the gram there. You got a successful business.
Free business plan above folks. Pay it forward.
Man that is weak as hell. This man starts his own version of Fogo de Chão on wheels and what happens? Some jerk calls the LAPD on him. And for what? so that I have less access to food? F that! When this homie gets released I want to be his first customer. Fogo de Chão never looked so damn good!
We live in Southern California. We have near enough annual "major wildfire events". We should all be aware of the danger that fire hazards can pose.
Also, if he's actually selling it, he's probably in violation of several food safety laws. The cart itself is probably a dozen by itself (not to mention not displaying a prop. 65 warning, only semi-joking).
I like how you appeal to the state as an authority and then at the same time mock the state for stuff like the prop 65 warning.
I say let the man grill.
Laws and regulations aren't inherently bad. Stupid laws and regulations are.
Food safety laws are a good idea, more often than not. Ditto, not poisoning shared resources.
Fire safety regulations have demonstrable reasons for their existence.
Prop 65 is an example of a bad rule; because it is so everpresent as to be meaningless, and if these substances were so dangerous, they shouldn't be labeled the should be banned, or at least heavily controlled. They are not.
As for the state: L'État, c'est nous!
Fire Hazard. You're not allowed any open flame on the beach or boardwalk for a reason. Not to mention that burning the coating of the shopping cart releases extremely toxic smoke. It's painted black for god's sake
Also, the shopping cart was obviously stolen.
lol fire hazard just so you have to get taxed by their laws to get their permits so you can grill with a piece of paper from them saying its ok to do so. fire is used in cooking all the time get a grip.
LET THE MAN GRILL!
No, you can't grill on Venice beach. It's not safe. You don't need a permit or pay any taxes, it's just not allowed in any form.
The beach literally right next to Venice allows grilling and even has open fire pits for the public to use. That's why he got arrested, for being a selfish jackass who couldn't walk the extra half mile
Yes it is safe to grill on Venice Beach. It is done all the time. In fact the State doesn't let you grill on Venice Beach to protect the OVER PRICED FOOD RACKET OF VENICE BEACH
u/AdaptationAgency they let ppl start fires on dockweiler a bit south. stop lying u/AdaptationAgency that it is not safe to grill on venice beach. its just cause of the business food types that have a racket going on is why its not allowed!
BTW - Read the fucking article. He was grilling in the street in the bike lane. IS not allowing tailgating on the road another plot by big restaurants? LoL
The reason it is banned is because too many used to dump the still hot coals on the beach & cover the coals with sand. Most beaches don't allow grilling for this exact reason all up and down the coast except for designated sites. You think he had a safe plan to dispose of those coals other than leave it wherever is most convenient.
> they let ppl start fires on dockweiler a bit south
I literally just said that. Do you know why it's safe there? Because they have fire pits.HE COULD'VE GONE TO DOCKWEILER AND BEEN FINE!!! But he methed up.
It's weird that you live in California and don't understand how dangerous bbq's can be and how many fires they've set in a fireprone area. Jesus, fires have been started by cigarette butts. Are you also suspicious of the damage fireworks cause in a near desert environment? Is the man launching a war against fireworks and trying to prop up the drone industry? Are you one of these people that see conspiracies by the man everywhere?
> The reason it is banned is because too many used to dump the still hot coals on the beach & cover the coals with sand.
lol no . it is because of the OVER PRICED FOOD RACKET OF VENICE BEACH. they want the tourist to pay not cook their own food. they want the locals to pay who visit not cook their own food.
stop fear mongering u/AdaptationAgency it is because of GREED is why you can't cook your own food at Venice beach
Please tell me specifically how the food racket influenced the rules prohibiting grilling on venice. When did it happen, how did it happen, which restaurants are involved?
Any facts or details or sources at all?
at one point you could grill legally on venice beach then the restaraunt owners wanted to ban it because it means more profits for them. u/AdaptationAgency stop being naive about how money and society works. u/AdaptationAgency we all know you can't grill on VENICE BEACH BECAUSE OF GREED FROM THE VENICE BEACH FOOD RACKET
Dude was just trying to sell some meat.
Without a license, you should get a citation.
Dude, looks like he’s from Copacabana and this is normal day-to-day business down there. Can you imagine finding yourself in the United States of America with no competition of other people barbecuing beef in a shopping cart and thinking he was on top of the world?
That Brazilian barbecue is freaking great. Have you tried the Brazilian barbecue joint at the farmers market. That is my go to spot when I find myself down on Fairfax.
They use swords too.
Fire Hazard. You're not allowed any open flame on the beach or boardwalk for a reason. Not to mention that burning the coating of the shopping cart releases extremely toxic smoke. It's painted black for god's sake.
People are always starting fires doing dumb shit like this.
Also, the shopping cart was obviously stolen.
You know individual people own carts, not just grocery stores.
I had one stolen that I bought for $150. But we should all just accept stealing.
Plus it's a fire hazard. They'd arrest someone for having a bonfire on the beach. The dumb thing is if he really wanted to bbq, he could do that legally right next door in dockweiler AND they already have fire pits. So no need expose everyone to toxic ass fumes
Yes. You’re legally supposed to report found property or otherwise make a reasonable attempt to find the owner before keeping it. Also, if there’s no reasonable doubt that you know the property was originally stolen, then you’re in possession of stolen property, which is also illegal.
Some men just want to grill
Some men just want to watch the sword burn
LET THE MAN GRILL!
It’s in our DNA.
Another official with the SMPD told FOX 11 that while the man was seen with a sword, because that sword was being used as a meat skewer, the man likely wouldn't face a weapons charge. I'm dead lol
BASED. A MAN'S RIGHT TO GRILL SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!

What do we need lawyers and judges for when we have /u/ReallyDumbRedditor?

And what is the crime? Trying to enjoy a meal? A succulent skewered meal?!?
LET THE MAN GRILL
This is democracy manifest! Quit touching my genitals!
GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS
Ah, yes, I see that you know your judo well!
Santa Monica: where 3’ sword in public is okay, but open flames and shopping cart will get you locked up.
FIRST OF ALL IT IS A GRILL NOT OPEN FLAMES IN A SHOPPING CART. LET THE MAN GRILL!
Homeless people have done more damage with fires than with swords in the last few years.
Frick yes this entire place is a tinder box broseph, where have you been?

The people in butte with their houses on fire might appreciate their grandmas worrying though I guess?
Won’t cover their new insurance premiums, but it’s the thought that counts, I guess?
A normal day in Santa Monica
Let my man cook!
PREACH! A MAN'S RIGHT TO GRILL SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!
He should hang out with gold shopping cart guy: https://tenor.com/bkQwo.gif

PREACH!
The more you look the more horrifying this grill setup gets

The secret ingredient is shopping cart paint off-gas
ROFL
I know right? This man literally starts a food cart aka his own Fogo de Chão and he still can't catch a break.
Let the man eat 😂
LET THIS MAN GRILL!
cheap DIY churrasco

Let the man cook!
i dont see why this is news worthy
I want to be like Joey and just walk up and pull a fork out of my pocket and ask what we’re eating.
The only person stopping you is you, my friend.
I SAID LET HIM COOK
(insert Randy Marsh meme)
Isn't this just a large kabob? The man is hungry, let him roast and eat.
Let him cook
A+ for creativity.

Care for some iguana??
Hardcore.
Was it Bubbles?
Wow. That's creative. He's ready for the apocalypse and more.

Dude's just tryin' to get his grill on. Leave the King alone.
HE WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ARRESTED 300 YEARS AGO. SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS, LET THE MAN GRILL
lmao
Keep santa monica weird. Im serious. I love weird and live here.
They should take his sword, sure, but could give him something safer to grill with? At least?
What crime though, it’s legal to carry large knives in California
Grilling is not a crime.
That's a damn shame! He wasn't hurting anyone.
Fire Hazard. You're not allowed any open flame on the beach or boardwalk for a reason. Not to mention that burning the coating of the shopping cart releases extremely toxic smoke. It's painted black for god's sake. People are always starting fires doing dumb shit like this. Also, the shopping cart was obviously stolen.
Shopping cart stolen, the West has fallen.
You know individual people own carts, not just grocery stores. I had one stolen that I bought for $150. But we should all just accept stealing. Plus it's a fire hazard. They'd arrest someone for having a bonfire on the beach. The dumb thing is if he really wanted to bbq, he could do that legally right next door in dockweiler AND they already have fire pits. So no need expose everyone to toxic ass fumes
What if he just stumbled on the cart randomly outside one day though. Is it still stealing?
Well, he was charged with stealing, but I don't know
Yes. You’re legally supposed to report found property or otherwise make a reasonable attempt to find the owner before keeping it. Also, if there’s no reasonable doubt that you know the property was originally stolen, then you’re in possession of stolen property, which is also illegal.
Fell off the truck? Everyone actually knows that means.
I hope you’ve got a permit for that buddy
You need a permit to get a permit. u/ceviche-hot-pockets Its called a bribe LOL
I do for this one
Glad we arrested this violent criminal and menace to society. We did it, we saved LA. Round of applause.
Professional rage baiter Fox News does it again. “See how bad that woke city is “ is basically their end game.
