Walk on Wilshire Inspires Fraud
Just when you imagine that those purveyors of idiocy, The Fullerton Observer, can’t get any more entangled in making the news, they excel themselves. And by excel I mean fraud.
A Friend sent in an image of the latest paper copy of the Observer showing an unattributed ad for the money pit known as the Walk on Wilshire.
It’s intentionally fraudulent.
The effort is intended to stir up support for the street closure that right now is on life support, having been given only a three month reprieve by the City Council in July, while the bureaucrats stumble around looking for plausible reasons besides self-interest to keep it going.
The scam here is to suggest that the businesses listed get some benefit from the Wilshire Avenue street closure that so far has only one dedicated participant after four years – Mulberry Street. That’s just an oblique lie. Some of these businesses aren’t even on Wilshire, or even close to it; and others inside the Villa del Sol have no practical proximity to the street even if they wanted to play along with this money-losing, make-work charade characterized as “business development.” There are even two salons listed, the connective tissue to WoW so tenuous as to be transparent.
And the worst part is, there are several business listed here who are actively opposed the the street closure. Their phone numbers are printed here, presumably so that Observers can call them up and harass them into supporting the continuation of this nonsense. Did the Observer obtain permission from these businesses to use as a prop in the propaganda campaign? Wanna bet on that?
This is the sort of behavior that has the hallmark of the Fullerton Observer over the years, amateurism blended with vitriol for anybody that doesn’t bend the knee to the bureaucrats in City Hall, and weird leftist ideology.
Yeah, that’s pretty damn awful. With Saskia Kennedy and her brain-dead mother you really have to wonder if they even have a sense of ethical behavior for what they purport is a “local newspaper.”
The Dead-head Kennedy’s have always been so invested in their ideological phantasies that to them ethics is neither here nor there. They believe in something, no matter how idiotic, and so there is no moral obstacle in lying about it.
Plus neither the mother or the daughter are very intelligent. I don’t think either one of them has ever had a real job.
Charles basically called the Pilgrim guy a liar by claiming his business was doing fine despite the loss of drive up trade in the early morning hours – just when a coffee place does it’s brisket business, These boohoo people are pretty loathsome.
I can attest that the article in the Observer did not get the facts straight. The list of businesses were not asked if they could contribute to this article with quotes on their opinion. Therefore, this piece is purely conjecture and leans toward supporting the closure. The owner of Pilgrim’s is an upstanding citizen, raised in the city of Fullerton attended Fullerton High School and graduated from Cal State Fullerton. He does not support the continued closure of the street, and has many rational thoughts about how it is affecting his business and those businesses that are listed and also do not support the closure. It’s a very misleading article. I am not surprised by this slander as it seems the city counsel has their agenda to push.
It’s not the City Council, Friend. It’s the bureaucracy, buoyed by the hare-brained ideologue Skaski Kennedy and her ilk.
I’m just jumping into this. But thank you for your reply.
The implication is also that all those business actively support the stupidity. Yeah, this is fraud alright.

I love the Observer. They help me know how I should think and act. I read what they say and what they are for, and I do and say the exact opposite.
It’s easy!
Someone really should sue them for fraud!
I smell a lawsuit coming…I can taste it.
Encouraging folks to visit some downtown businesses, by name. All public info, that businesses share and want out there.
That obviously doesn’t fit any definition of fraud, whatsoever.
It’s not controversial.
Just fucking breathe. It’s going to be OK.
No, it’s a pussy attempt at intimidation to businesses that don’t want the bullshit by a couple of feather-headed old broads that never ran a business themselves.
Fraud means nothing to Hoogerboomer his whole life is based on ideology uber alles.
It’s not fraud though.
Asking people to frequent WoW businesses is intimidation? Like I said.
Breathe.

You really need to work on your flirting technique, Hailey
I’m a phenom. You are a not. Nobody cares what you think or cares about you at all. Hock tuah in your face JRH. SUCK IT!
I’m sure you’re great and I’m sure that kind of talk works for someone. Best wishes!
The fact that you’re even responding to this screams out “self-important loser!”
Right? You can always tell.
But I’m winning, so…
What have you won? Sad loser.
Hoogie always wins everything because he only holds court in his skull-sized, narcissistic kingdom.
Yeah, he actually believes he’s accomplishing something by defending his ideologue pals. It’s sort of sad, but being that self-centered is deplorable.
