Rats and trash infest Los Angeles' 'typhus zone'

Wholesale fish distributors, produce warehouses and homeless encampments line Ceres Avenue downtown, creating perfect conditions for rats.

Uneaten food is dumped on the street — a salad platter was recently splattered on the asphalt — and discarded clothing piles up only to be swirled into rats' nests.

Those rats, experts say, are likely contributing to the growing number of typhus infections cropping up on skid row and other parts of the region. The disease is spread by fleas, which are carried by rats, opossums and pets.

A sub for Mark Levin used the term “Behind the Progressive Iron Curtain” for CA,Or and WA. Does anyone know the origin? Did a talker invent that great phrase?

Great place for one of the Civil War divisions of land. They can take their filth and keep it, with gangs, illegals,sanctuary murderers,fleas, excrement and Dem voters.

They will be forced to pay taxes to us for reparations for what we wasted on the three former states. Plus interest.
Strict, strict immigration laws to keep them out of the good old USA. I can dream, can’t I?

“The disease is spread by fleas, which are carried by rats, opossums and pets.”

And illegal immigrants.

Possums?

They got possums in LA?

The Beverly Hillbillies was a documentary?

“The disease is spread by fleas, which are carried by rats, opossums and pets.”

IOW by Democrat politicians whom create the safe environment for the rats, opossum’s fleas. The Dems probably give the fleas to the rats, and opossums that spread to our pets.

Why is it democrat havens are also place where disease, rats, human waste and destruction also exist? And as such places just keep getting worse, the inhabitants double down on voting democrat?

Answer: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” Just more proof the lefties are nutjobs.

Another reason to build the wall on the east side of CA.

Rats and trash ... the very definition of the Democrat Party.

‘a salad platter’ ?? — and so much more. Tons of food, old clothes, blankets, feces, and the Lord only knows what else. Rats are the least of the problems — It is ripe for cholera in downtown LA - and then won’t the DEM mayor and DEM governor be so proud?

Go, lefties, go! Build your Dream Utopias — so everybody can see how Venezuela came about.

Homelessness is a function of drug and alcohol abuse.

Illegalism uses drug runners to supply the cartels within our country hence this problem is a result of ILLEGALISM.

And you can add the fact that many of the homeless are Illegals to boot.

“Turns out rats like a nice climate, too.”

That’s why we have the kind of government in CA that we have today. The two-legged RATS “migrated” to the West Coast from places like Massoftwoshitts, New Yoik and New Joisey. Pelosi isn’t “home grown!” Neither are most of our non-Mexican RAT politicians.

I’ve been to Skid Row most times from passing by to scouting locations for shoots. Freepers should know EVERY MONDAY the LAPD brings the HAZMAT team to that area and cleans the entire area.

Yes, I said HAZMAT team complete with spacesuits. It occurs at 7 in the morning for 2-3 hours. It’s that dangerous and gross there. Amidst the tents, where do you think they crap?
