@LAScanner

@LAScanner is LA's most dedicated and hilarious crime reporter; the anonymous tweeter has been monitoring the scanners since the bad old days of 1988: "Gone are the days when South LA was a free-for-all of crime, petty and more so; buildings burn less frequently across the urban landscape." His findings, in part? "Nothing good ever happens at a pay phone ... In Beverly Hills, no crime is too small ... Way more machetes per capita than I would have guessed." [LAO]
