While the little campus in the orange groves and our big sister campus to the south haven't seen a re-occurrence of anti-Semitic activity, the same can't be said for the rest of the county.
Check out this mind-boggling story: Huntington Beach white dove release salesman busted for at-home arsenal and Nazi memorabilia. And yes, he is the guy that provided the last year's now notorious HB Trump rally with their white doves. (Some of the key organizers were picked up by the FBI a few weeks ago.) I mean, who ya gonna call? OC Doves. WHITE doves. There's a joke somewhere in there but Rebel Girl isn't going to make it.
Check out the video above, found on OC Doves promotional You Tube station, complete with ominous music and drone footage of the rally and the arrests. Dramatic slo-mo dove release (complete with white males pumping their arms up plus a cardboard cut-out of Trump presiding) near the 6 minute mark.
from the L.A. Times:
It began as a dispute over funeral doves. It ended with Nazi memorabilia,guns and an arrest
Detectives already knew Todd had 12 firearms registered in his name when they stepped inside the house with a search warrant and a gun restraining order — which allows law enforcement to seek the temporary removal of firearms from someone they believe poses a danger to themselves or others — about 4 p.m. Tuesday.
“Lo and behold, when we went in there, he had a lot more than that,” Cota said. “There’s no doubt he’s a gun guy. The question is what kind of gun guy.”
Some of the weapons had high-tech scopes that retail for several thousand dollars each, Cota said.
Inside Todd’s bedroom — which he maintains separately from his wife’s bedroom in the house, authorities said — detectives found a red cloth flag with a swastika emblazoned on it, a Confederate flag and a picture of Adolf Hitler.Gabriel San Roman writing in the OC Weekly:
POLICE FIND NAZI REGALIA, STOCKPILE OF ASSAULT RIFLES AFTER ARRESTING HB MAN
Laguna Beach police seized an arsenal of more than 50 firearms and found Nazi memorabilia following the arrest of Mitchell Todd yesterday in–where else?–Huntington Beach. Authorities obtained a search warrant after investigating the 51-year-old man this month for allegedly threatening a client of his dove release business (yes, you read that right) during a payment dispute.
“You could tell the voicemails and text messages became more and more threatening and then the tip of the iceberg was hearing the releasing of a handgun slide,” Sgt. Jim Cota told Fox11 News in an exclusive last night. “At that point we knew we were dealing with somebody whose got the potential of extreme violence.”
What Laguna Beach police describe as a "cache" of unregistered arms. |
Stay safe out there. And find another outfit to hire for your white dove release spectacle.

Thank you, Mr. Trump. You have much, very MUCH to account for and I hope that day of reckoning brings you down and all those who intentionally or unintentionally sail in your wake: the sinking of the Trumptanic.
What's up with the failure to act against a threatening student in the elevator at Saddleback? Is this part of a district-wide pattern of tolerating threats against female professors?
