LA and its Police Dept. are the REAL NUISANCE!: How LA Regulated A Burger Stand Out of Existence


This should make everyone's blood boil! Here is local government's abuse of power and covering up for its own absolute incompetence, ineffectiveness and ineptness. Why should Nick Benetatos have been responsible for the pay telephones, police department's direct link security cameras, private security guards and being told how and when to serve hamburgers? Figueroa and 101st Street is in one of LA's most crime ridden areas in the Southeast Division. You never went near there after dark and only if you had to during the day. I went to school not to far from there in the 1960's and 70's. 
This was not a part of the American Dream, just the nightmare. Yet Tam's Burger's survived and served as a place to eat for the local area. Why was it being singled out? Possibly because it had survived by providing service to the locals, so the locals watched out for him. That appears to be more than the bureaucratic LAPD was able to do. Here was a business in the middle of a high crime and black area, owned and run by a white guy, that was able to survive and be accepted and patronized. Tam's Burgers is surrounded by burned, vacant and boarded-up urban blight. That blight was not caused by Tam's.
It was the caused by catering to race pimps and liberal BS coming from the 'experts' and politicians in City Hall!
Detective Eric Moore, head of LAPD's Nuisance Abatement unit, was shown how incompetent his PC approach to policing is. So, in typical governmental fashion, he, and his LAPD's Nuisance Abatement unit made themselves the nuisance by making life miserable for Nick Benetatos. That is how government responds to being shown they were wrong. LA's government seeks revenge because he, no matter how unintentionally, showed them up.
The crime in that division did not miraculously spring forth from Tam's Burgers. It was there long before Tam's and the LAPD has never been able to stop it. In old days it was left alone as a black on black crime war zone, then when they tried to stop crime and violence by policing and making more arrests in the area, the Race Pimps protested; now the LAPD has joined forces with the Race Pimps and found a white survivor who has contributed to the local area and thwarted entrenched presumptions. Tam's survival was an inconvenient fact. So is the ineffective Politically Correct approach to policing. 
The way to solve this inconvenient problem, in the inimitable bureaucratic way of solutions that proves that the PC Approach is the Wrong Approach, is get rid of this local survivor. The fact that the owner of this inconvenient business is white may just be an added convenience for Detective Eric Moore, his LAPD's Nuisance Abatement unit, the Los Angeles City's Zoning Board and LA's City Government. m/r


The Fall Of Tam's #6: How LA Regulated A Burger Stand Out of Existence - YouTube


Published on Dec 20, 2012
Located on the corner of Figueroa and 101st Street in South Central Los Angeles, Tam's Burgers has been a part of the neighborhood for almost thirty years. Nick Benetatos took over the restaurant in the late '80s after his father retired. Tam's has withstood multiple recessions and even the 1992 LA riots.

"When the markets were burned down, liquor stores were burned down, everything was burned down, people had nowhere to go, they came to us. We were handing out loaves of bread for free." says Benetatos. "We have much love for the community. And the community obviously has much love for us."

But Tam's is now facing its most daunting challenge yet: being deemed a "public nuisance" by the city of LA. The Los Angeles Police Department believes that Tam's is a magnet for drug dealers, prostitutes and violent criminals.

"It has a nexus and a connection to a disproportionate amount of criminal activity," says Detective Eric Moore, head of LAPD's Nuisance Abatement unit.

But Benetatos says that he is simply making the best of a tough situation. He's even tried to work with LAPD before, honoring their requests that he remove payphones on the property and remove tables for outdoor seating, which he says resulted in a 15 percent decline in revenues. The city's zoning board has since ordered him to comply with 22 separate conditions, ...
