Chop Shop Operator says
The probationer needs to learn how to become a LA County lifeguard.
Tim Scott says
Well, somebody does, but not this guy.
America's Most Envious of Lifeguards says
One LA lifeguard made over $500,000 last year. And able to flirt with all the chicks on the beach, LOL. Pretty cool gig if you ask me. Who would ever ask me?
Tim Scott says
That wasn’t “one LA lifeguard,” that was a captain. Like in most places, seniority means that as the actual work goes down the pay goes up.
LA lifeguards are part of the LA county fire department, which is one of the biggest overtime sponges on the planet. Their union has forced a whole lot of rules that make for a whole lot of “staffing minimums” that create a whole lot of firefighters sitting around the stations. Pretty big money racks up when you are getting paid double hours while you sleep.

Just another cartel member dealing drugs in America and stealing from hard working Americans while turning our country into a [removed] hole
Tim Scott says
LOL…”cartel member.” Quarter pound of meth. Obviously the right hand man of el jefe himself there.
FWB says
Just another slightly less than honorable resident of the Antelope Valley.
Tim Scott says
Ans yet probably a better human than you.
FWB says
You’re just a hater who dislikes anyone that has more than you from working hard their entire life.
Tim Scott says
LOL…nah….and I doubt you’ve worked all that hard. Probably no harder than your tenants.
Beecee says
“Just another cartel member”
Uhhhh, no
Lian says
Let me guess your a hard working citizen bien robbed of your sleep lol
Dee says
He’s already out I’m sure.
Tim Scott says
Sounds more like he was dealing meth than like he was running a chop shop, but good on ’em for shutting him down either way.
FredM says
I agree with Tim on this.
