Occupy L.A. versus Zuma Dogg: OG City Activist Tries to Out-Shout Occupiers

Election11

Do something. ANYTHING! Okay, maybe not anything. Always amazing when people make the claim that they know exactly who the "occupiers" are. That alone, should tip you off that they don't have a clue of what they're talking about. I guess the people who aren't protesting, or taking some appropriate action to change things, are extremely satisfied with the status-quo. Or maybe resigned to a life where you feel that absolutely nothing you do will make a difference. Go ahead, fiddle while Rome burns!

Occupy

People like him make me sick, stop trying to co op our movement to further your personal goal of becoming the biggest tool on earth. This press is nonsense, as it really has nothing to do with Occupy Los Angeles and all the good things that are happening.

Michael Higby

Zuma Dogg WAS your movement back when you were hoping to be able to buy condoms on prom night but your mom said no.

What good things are happening? You got kicked from downtown LA to Van Nuys. That's like pushing you all to the back of the refrigerator with the outdated cottage cheese and moldy bread. You will get zero media attention once you're in Van Nuys for a day or two.

Your colleagues in other cities are being beaten, and your message is largely unheard. But you're correct about self-promoting zuma dogg. It's funny how he thinks he somehow got through to you guys by the end of his dopey video. What neither of you recognize is how much you have in common with each other, but got jealous of one another in the process.

Zuma Dogg: "I came here every day for five years. Hey, who stole my chord! Hey Matt, turn my mic back on! I came here for... Help! LAPD! He's got brass knuckles!"

Anyone who has followed ZD for the past few years knows that City Council and Villaretardo must have been watching from inside hoping that the guy with the brass knuckles did what THEY wanted the LAPD to do years ago: deck him. Even a pacifist like Council President Eric Gardrunkie was hoping he'd get the crap kicked out of him.

It's truly is funny to watch one retard try to reason and motivate a group of retards, even though they're all there for essentially the same reason. It's too bad a guy like Dogg/Saltsburg didn't put all of this energy into getting an MBA or law degree. He would probably be ON City Council instead of at the podium for all these many years.

P.S. Zuma Dogg still pines for Lisa Hernandez of KABC, but doesn't realize that she left Los Angeles a long time ago and that cute news girls aren't interested in fake-disabled, bald, middle aged men who don't bathe. That's not very Deming-like!

I burst out laughing when zuma dogg mentioned the Occupiers' 15 minutes of fame. Classic!

I guess the irony about zd's own 15 minutes having passed was lost on zd when the tall young bald guy asked him, with a puzzled look on his face, "who are you?"

I agree that it IS hilarious,,,,to see Zuma Dogg's utter jealousy of the attention a group of newcomers can get that he could only dream of getting after investing all that time here at City Hall.

Zuma Dogg has been to City Council maybe three times in 2011 and threatened suicide at least 400 times this year on Twitter. Unless you donate money to him which he can get at his Section 8 apartment.

I look forward to the year 2025 when Zuma Dogg keeps proclaiming that he is a legend, that he allegedly met rock stars who held up their shows just so they can meet him, and that the City Councilmembers, who are grandchildren of today's Councilmembers, "had better pay up from my federal lawsuit!"

The truth about Zuma Dogg is that he thinks he's going to get the $500,000 that Michael Hunt got from the City, and can't figure out why they're offering him $10,000 to go away. He would never be able to save face, getting only $10,000 for all the hassle he went through.

Oh, and Zuma Dogg, how can you be "disabled" when you're able to run all of these different blogs simultaneously and sing at karaoke three times a week? Don't think that hasn't been reported to Social Security and to Garcetti. You can't get disability settlements when you are a HIGHLY functioning person and your blogs and tweets are evidence of that.

The best part is that Zuma Dogg is clearly annoying to even Occupy LA. Maybe they don't believe that you knew Deming. Maybe they don't believe that you know Tony Robbins. Or Elton John. Maybe they don't care.

And for someone who crows about Eric Garcetti allegedly having hit a kid with a city vehicle while allegedly drunk, and paid the family hush money, why don't you just put the ky-bosh on the guy's career and come out with the proof? Or don't you have any?

For a self described legend, how come you can't even afford wifi to load your own video? Should we talk about the job I offered you 3x at my family's printing business? You didn't want it, or to get a job at Target, because you felt it was beneath you. You want money handed to you on a silver platter instead of going out to earn it. Noone cares that you were once a secretary in a radio station. You weren't good enough to keep from being homeless. If you were good, you would have employment in that industry.

Luv YUH.

ZumaDogg

OMG! What a treat! Thanks so much for the awesome, by-blow-by-blow coverage. I SWEAR I wasn't trying to be funny. but tears streaming always a bonus! I'm still trying to get the damn video uploaded, from today. ZD

Michael Higby

Zuma's latest video should be explosive. Instead of listening to ZD as the true Yoda of free speech and fighting the man that he is, the young, immature, helicopter parent, ADD addled generation of protesters treat him with vulgarity, disrespect and violence, revealing their true nature and the intellectual dishonesty of the whole "Occupy" movement. Zuma exposes them better than any Tea Party activist or Fox News reporter can. As it was once said, "Only Nixon can go to China."

Michael Higby

So here's the thing - the "Occupy" movements have really yet to articulate any kind of specific point nor remedy but there is some meaning in the haze. It's directed at Wall Street, the free market, sometimes the Federal government but they fail to recognize that it's our local politicians that are the most corrupt - and as the gatekeepers to legendary federal aid programs - have completely stolen, squandered and misspent that so few intended folks have received the benefit. The Occupy people should be madder about that than anything - they might expect Wall Street to steal from them - in this case their own people have stolen from them.

No one better than Zuma Dogg - who is more counter culture than the counter culture - to make this clear and make it fun. I particularly enjoyed ZD discovering the Occupy LA microphone gatekeeper to be even more onerous than Eric Garcetti and the protester whose primary concern was the Darth Vader helmet.

Can anyone trust Michael Higby, whose blog he temperamentally shuts down every year or two in a whiney fit, like he did when he came within an inch of getting his ample arse sued for allowing his illiterate co-hort to post patently false information, like a political candidate who he falsely claimed had been evicted from a building IN WHICH HE NEVER LIVED? Odd, then, that Higby took down all information about Mike Gatto, and allowed his buffoon Scott "Red Spot" Johnson to continue posting slander? It's funny, how a guy like Higby can talk about free speech, when he eventually stopped posting on his own blog, and prevents comments. And it's not like Higby knows a damn thing about counter-culture. He does know about food consumption, though. How is that "I'm working with a personal trainer" coming along, Higby? That's the same hypocrisy of Higby complaining about the costly City Council caligraphy, but readily accepted the one they gave to HIM. In other words, in Higby's world, the rules apply to everyone EXCEPT Higby. And I'll remind you that Higby fired Zuma Dogg. Twice. Oh-so-conveniently forgotten. Higby is like the little kid of the playground who trips other kids, and then can't figure out why the other kids won't let him play with them anymore.
