The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has detained the person suspected of arson after a fire was set in the dressing rooms of the West Hollywood Target on Santa Monica Blvd. and La Brea.
The store was evacuated at approximately 10:40 a.m. Tuesday as alarms and sprinklers were going off. The L.A. Fire Department responded and quickly extinguished the small fire.
That target…sadly had such high hopes, flagship store exclusives…but now that no one is takung care of citizens in LA, especially huge homeless population in Hollywood,right up the street..ive seen swat teams etc before. This doesnt surprise me. Plus its not even really weho.

We need to wake up and get tougher on those that commit crimes.
Can we give the eastside back to Los Angeles?
Reconfigure West Hollywood to be Doheny to Fairfax, Sunset to Beverly.
Sound good?
For what? So more of the region can be as dysfunctional like Los Angeles? You’re pretty disconnected if you think a resident set this fire. I live close by and a lot of transients wander into this corner. The security presence at this Target, which I noticed has grown lately, suggests there’s a lot of theft. WeHo is not a fortress and with this being the border it shares with Los Angeles will inevitably encounter Los Angeles’ dysfunction especially acutely in this area.
Yeah, and do they still have armed guards at the crawfish restaurant? What’s up with that?!
nope doesn’t sound good.
Why don’t we just build a wall?
Why would you give it back to Los Angeles? That area was never part of LA. It was the county. They should form a new city. Dump all the baggage of West Hollywood. Start new. You won’t have to take all the claptrap fron the political hacks living West of La Cienega.
No. 🤮
