It's the Return of Zuma Dogg in City Council Chambers To Issue Statement Regarding First Amendment Lawsuit Against The City

[Pictured: I'm not smiling, bitch! SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING!!! SOON TO BE FEDERAL ORDERS!]

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 will be a one-day return to Los Angeles City Council chambers by Big ZD from the 213 (Zuma Dogg) for public comment to notify council of today's (11/9/09) Federal hearing regarding ZD's lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles over First Amendment issues during public comment at the Los Angeles City Council meetings. [Oops...just found out Clowncil is in RECESS this week, so no meeting on Tuesday, so I guess it will be when ever the circus returns to the big top chambers.]

Basically, I will be notifying Council President Eric Garcetti and the rest of those helpless clowns that ever time that arrogant, dumb, pompous clown interrupts me...it's costing the city money.
Because I am here to say, after attending the hearing today in Federal court; and hearing what the judge had to say...IT'S OVER!!! Regarding the "code of conduct" portion of this First Amendment lawsuit that also includes nine other performers from Venice Beach over performance issues (not a part of the code of conduct portion of the lawsuit) -- THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES WILL BE PAYING MONEY OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND FOR THEIR SERIES OF MISGUIDED, DUMB AND ARROGANT INTERRUPTIONS OF DOGG & DOWD. The Los Angeles Times had a reporter sitting in and taking notes on the Federal hearing, this morning, and again...after listening to the judge -- and listening to the weak arguments from the un-impressive city attorney, I will be appearing before City Council on Tuesday to advise them a much cheaper settlement will save the city hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of dollars. (There are 11 people on the lawsuit. That could be a BIG jury award.) AND AGAIN, all of this posting and showing up tomorrow to advise council they should pay out a much lower settlement amount at this point, as opposed to the BIG MONEY that they will be paying WHEN they lose in court. In other words, I am confident that I was right, all along -- and the "code of conduct" was a bunch of non-legal, bullshit in violation of Federal law. Today, the City asked the judge to dismiss the case. He didn't. It's going forward and every indication is that the city lost to Zuma Dogg. And congratulations to New Zealander Matt Dowd for representing the other 10 Americans (including Zuma Dogg) on this FEDERAL CASE. And he handled himself FANTASTICALLY and sounds so good with that "Queen's English" accent that sounds so legaleasy. And of course it helps when it's really a "no brainer" (to coin council's own phrase). BOTTOM LINE: Zuma Dogg will be showing up to the Los Angeles City Council meeting for the first time since September 22, 2009 to advise council they should consult with Dowd/Dogg on a recession-based LOW settlement, rather than spending all the time and extra money fighting it in court, because Zuma Dogg feels IT IS O-VER for the city after today's FEDERAL hearing. So Eric, keep your dumb mouth shut when Zuma Dogg is talking, because you're living in some kind of delusional fantasy world -- and you don't know what the FUCK you are talking about (as usual) and you won't be able to blame your mommy, or daddy -- and when the ruling is finally given -- I will be able to come back and say much more -- and you will have to endure much more...and I will be speaking NOTHING but rotten-egg talk in your smug face and spewing it all over your dumb, arrogant face. So SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN I'M TAKING AND IT WILL ALL BE OVER IN TWO MINUTES, COWARD-ASS! (Which is EXACTLY what you are for what you have been pulling and trying to get away with. So now it will be mitigated with money out of your general fund and into Zuma Dogg's pockets. SO SHUT UP AND DON'T MAKE IT WORSE. YOU HAD AMPLE WARNING. I DID EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE (LITERALLY) TO GET YOU TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL LAW...YOU MADE IT WORSE...SO YOU HAD TO BE STOPPED AND PUT IN YOUR PLACE, COWARD. HEY NUCH...better have a talk with your boy.

Here's ONE Good Reason Zuma Dogg Says STOP HIRING COPS -- WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE WHEN THEY ARE USED FOR THE DUMB STUFF VILLARAGIOSA HAS THEM DOING

HERE IS A FOLLOW UP POST TO THIS ARTICLE FROM TODAY WHICH IS PART OF WHAT LEAD ME TO MY NEW CONCLUSION REGARDING HIRING OF LAPD COPS AND HOW THE CITY DOESN'T NEED TO (HIRE MORE). AND AS THE CITY FACES BANKRUPTCY, AFTER BEING THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND SEEING HOW COPS ARE BEING USED...WE NEED TO REDUCE THE PAYROLL IMMEDAITELY TO SAVE THE CITY...AND THE COP BUDGET IS THE BIGGEST BUDGET AND NO MEASURE WILL IMPACT ENOUGH WITHOUT REDUCING AT LAPD! GET STARTED! WE'RE OUT OF TIME, CITY REVENUE WILL BE MUCH LESS THAN ACCOUNTED FOR...SO ENOUGH POLITICS AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS...THE TIME IS NOW! BECAUSE VILLARAIGOSA NEEDS TO RE-EVALUATE A FEW THINGS BEFORE HE GETS MORE TO FUCK UP.

FROM: MATT DOWD (Plaintiff)

See the attached citation I received yesterday, to go to court because MY MICROPHONE
STAND that I SING and TALK through is OVER FOUR FEET IN HEIGHT and contrary to the 42.15 height restrictions. while I'm singing and playing, TWO black SUV's , three lapd officers, one a sergeant REINA, approached me, told me to stop performing, so they could write the citation on the mic stand being too high. Right in front of a cafe filled with people watching and listening to my SHOW!!!! now that's fucked up. Its the ultimate damage to a performer, to do this kind of bullshit. And I was IN a designated performer space, and otherwise totally compliant. IF EVER THERE WAS AN ARGUMENT that we don't need more police.. this is it. Clearly there are too many deployed on the beach doing this crap. Check out this video too, check all these cops getting abused verbally now by one of my Plaintiffs..TURNER. YouTUBE Video:

HEY DUMB ASS ANTONIO...PEOPLE SING THROUGH THEIR MOUTH AND THE U.S. CONSITUTION DOES NOT REQUIRE ONE TO SIT DOWN TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES. UNLESS SOMEONE HAS A SINGING PENIS ACT...AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE OF THOSE YET ON THE BOARDWALK...A MICROPHONE HAS TO BE OVER FOUR FEET TO SING INTO FOR ALMOST ANY HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET. YOU HAVE LOST COMMON SENSE AND ARE JUST HARASSING MR. DOWD, CLEARLY AND OBVIOUSLY. WHEN YOU LOSE COMMON SENSE, YOU LOSE SUPPORT FROM ZUMA DOGG. FIX THE FUCKING BOARDWALK BITCHTONIO. AND THAT STARTS BY NOT WASTING LAPD TO WRITE A TICKET FOR A MIC STAND BEING OVER FOUR FEET IN A PERFORMER SPACE, DUMMY!

Suffice To Say, Zuma Dogg Has Had Enough of LA City Council's Daily Brown Act Violations (PREFACE)

[Pictured: The glasses are off now, y'all! Good luck come November & March.]

Zuma Dogg has been going to the Los Angeles City Council meetings since April 4, 2006 and it's always a comedy of errors with the City and the way they handle things from as soon as you walk in the door of City Hall till your final minute of public comment time expires.

Now, a lot has been done to work the kinks out over the past two years, especially with the police at the front door who greet ZD each day. (I mean at the beginning, they were telling ZD and Matt Dowd that we couldn't even bring cameras inside. Then they said we couldn't use them.)

And on Council's side, they know now they can't get away with a lot of the stuff that used to go un-checked. But I could still spend all my time and effort fighting over the first amendment/Brown Act stuff, everyday...and would never have time for actual city issues (so I would be the First Amendment guy, instead of "overall issue guy".)

So generally, I just bob and weave through the nuttiness...and overall...no matter how much they try and de-rail ZD and other people's public comments with their un-necessary and illegal interruptions, overall -- ZD feels he gets his message out there, the people are responding -- so you score your points and move on. (If a referee called everything that would trigger a foul in a basketball game, you would never get past the first tip-off.

SO WITH THAT SAID...ZD FEELS LIKE THE CITY IS INCREASINGLY DESPERATE IN THEIR ATTEMPTS TO DE-RAIL PUBLIC COMMENT SPEAKERS BY INTERRUPTING THEM WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT BE INTERRUPTED. (Aka: Way too much subjective crybaby opinions being injected during people's public comment time.)

AND WITH THAT, I GIVE YOU THIS (Click here for full story)!
