　　They say that Los Angeles is changing. In the past two weeks, a young woman
was shot, and then her body was dropped off on a sidewalk and set on fire. This
happened in broad daylight in a nice neighborhood. Another young woman's body
was found lying in a dumpster. The decomposed body of another young woman was
found in a park.
        　　An 8-year-old girl was standing with her mom in the kitchen when a bullet
from a gang member's gun killed her. The little girl and her mom had just
arrived in America. The gang member was shooting at other gang members in the
street outside. A hospital van driver pushed a paraplegic out of the van onto a
Skid Row sidewalk and drove off. A mentally ill patient in a nursing home was
slapped repeatedly by a staff member. The staff member's buddy took a cell phone
video of the assault. It showed the staffer laughing as the patient cried.
        　　A local TV station reporter went to a huge produce warehouse and filmed a
worker urinating on a platform right next to boxes of fresh lettuce. Rats were
shown walking throughout the warehouse and nibbling on the produce. Every day,
this produce is distributed to hundreds of unsuspecting restaurants and
supermarkets in Los Angeles. LA is changing, all right - for the worse.
