The Return of (Hollywood) Nacho Libre
Last year, (Hollywood) Nacho Libre was assaulted
At least two Los Angeles News Station took my youtube video (police took a copy from the scene) and aired it on TV without asking or permission. Newspaper articles were written about the attacked as well. I wasn't interviewed or asked for additional video or information. At the time there was an exceedingly amount of violence transpiring on Hollywood Blvd and little seemed to be done. In this video Nacho Libre Gets Attacked the Full Story, gives a montage of the events that transpired right before the assualt and afterwards.
People come to Hollywood with dreams of making it big, stardom, glamour and streets paved with gold but the truth is there is that for a selected few but for the minions, Los Angeles is a haven for fallen angels much like Lucifer who lost his way.
I don't know if I would call it a happy ending but Nacho Libre after several months absent, returned to entertain and sometimes annoy people on Hollywood.

Nacho Libre & Delayed Response
Several Months ago, I shot an assualt that happened on Hollywood. There is a great song by TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS I'm Going To Stand My Ground that fits perfectly. Petty sings about "And I won't back down, I'm going to stand my ground."
Lately I noticed that there was some new hits on the video. I shoot so many videos nothing surprises me but it starting snowballing. So then I got an message from a TV station and they requested an interview. I responded but I didn't get a reply. I heard through the grapevine LA Times wanted to interview me and I contacted Bob Pool. Nothing. Anyway I just found out my video was played on two news stations. Why it took so long is beyond me. But I will say there has been some negligence on the police reacting in an appropriate fashion. There has been alot of harassing. I don't know what is going on. Few want to take reports, use deductive reasoning skills, or actually care about the victims. They want everyone to fend for themselves. In my daily doings I sometimes use alot of restraint. But I can see the tide is turning.
Anyway, I shot additional footage of the incident but because it was on Quicktime, I have to convert the media and then edit. When I do I will put it here and on youtube.
