Young Elijah Misses Nap, Throws Tantrum
Sweet flower Elijah Manassero has just lost his temper. Did he miss his midday nap? Does he have a full diaper? Who can say? What I do know is that he has scribbled another of his diatribes for the Fullerton Observer Sisters, piling on their desperate narrative that the owners of Les Amis are victims of some sort of conspiracy in City Hall.
The City finally removed Les Amis stuff from City property a few weeks ago after the aforesaid business spent a decade and a half dodging rent, stalling, trying to weasel out of signed agreements and of course, encroaching onto public space without permit or agreement on several occasions.
The defenders of the indefensible are trying to ignore all the facts of the Les Amis history of scofflawry, and pretend that it the substantial 2022 rent increases that were insufferable and hence non-payment justified. And anything that happened before this gossamer pretext is wished into Fullerton Boohoo’s collective cornfield.
Tender fleur Elijah calls his article a “history,” but conveniently omits most of Les Amis‘ real histoire, and like a typical Observer reporter shares unsubstantiated conversations related to him by Ms. Jinan Montecristo – the alleged victim in all this – as gospel. Young pup Elijah mentions nothing before 2022, of course, and even Les Amis recent spotty history of non-payment goes unmentioned.
Fragile and fresh Elijah has tried to speak with nobody inside of City Hall to get the true litany of Les Amis bad behavior. That would be uncomfortable. He accepts as true what he has been told by the noaccounts of Montecristo without reservation. Did he get any facts from Mayor Fred Jung about the removal of the Les Amis detritus? Nope. Might he have been told that the upcoming discussion of lease rates in the future has nothing to do with lease obligations in the past and due now? Of course. Did he he inquire about the fact that maybe the removal of the stuff happened at 6:30 am so as not to block the adjacent alleyway during business hours? No. That would interfere with the conspiracy narrative.
Since the young fleur Manassero visits and cites this blog all the time, he knows very well that his mentor and manipulator, Ahmad Zahra, voted to implement the 2022 rates; and he knows that the Montecristo clan said nothing about it at the June 21, 2022 public hearing. He has obviously decided that these facts aren’t necessary to convey his nonsensical narrative. Why clutter up your prosaic propaganda with embarrassing information?
And why should Fullerton expect anything resembling honesty, integrity, or basic journalistic ethics from The Fullerton Observers and its proprietors – the Kennedy Sister, Sharon and Sitka.
Jung: “No.”
Dunlap: “No.”
Valencia: “What was the vote for again?”
City Clerk: “To get Elijah a diaper change.”
Valencia: “No.”
Charles: “A big hell yeah from me.”
City Clerk: “Okay, I don’t know if that will be mentioned in the minutes.”
Charles. “Whatever. Aye.”
Zahra: “AYE!!” *puts on glasses.
City Clerk: “Item does not pass. Elijah must keep his stinky diaper on.”
Zahra cries.
Jung: “Aye.”
Dunlap: “Aye.”
Valencia: “What was the vote for again?”
City Clerk: “For Elijah to get a diaper change.”
Valencia: “Aye.”
Charles: “A big hell no from me.”
City Clerk: “Okay, I don’t know if that will be mentioned in the minutes.”
Charles. “Whatever. No.”
Zahra: “NO!!” *puts on glasses.
City Clerk: “Item passes. Elijah must get a diaper change.”
Zahra cries.
And these assholes think they deserve to dispense their blatant propaganda in City Hall – like a real journalistic endeavor.
The article raised valid points. A 90% increase to rent is ridiculous. No one should be expected to pay that
