Images of "Mayor" James T. Butts Jr.                                                                               

     Although no one should be judged based on a few random facts, actions or images, in the years that James Butts has been Mayor in Inglewood, and really for many years prior, the images demonstrating James T. Butts Jr. as an angry, condescending, arrogant, vindictive, emotionally unstable individual occurred fairly regularly  and predictably.    They could be seen at City Council meetings any time he didn't get his way,  felt embarrassed, anxious or challenged, or when he was desperately trying to  hide  something from the public at all costs.   Please examine the images below, and the background related to those images, and decide for yourself if they depict a respectable, gentlemanly, emotionally stable, Mayor..., or a childish, insecure bully who regularly abuses his power to act out, angrily and hypocritically violating rules, the Law and people's Civil Rights when he doesn't get his way.

   In a Feb. 2015 inter-

view, Fox reporter Liz

Habib asked "Mayor"

James  Butts   pointed

questions  about   tens

of  millions  of  dollars

in  hidden  costs  to all

of   Inglewood's   tax-

payers   for   the   new

SoFi football  stadium.

Butts    was     irritable,     rude, condescending,   very  arrogant, dismissive,      frustrated      and defensive,    repeatedly    rolling his  eyes,    shaking his head and looking    away,    clearly    very demoralized because Ms. Habib would not go for the Okie doke.

Butts Looks Beaten After Interview

And just to prove that James Butts acting a fool on Fox with Liz Habib was not a fluke, look at Butts actually rolling his eyes again, this time during a very serious discussion, in June of 2020, about the tragic killing of Rayshard Brooks.

   And what was James Butts doing on Fox News?  Being a camera whore? Yes, but Butts was also playing the typical roll of  Fox's conservative  pundit,  who said that it was "ridiculous" for the Police officer (who was caught on video shooting Rayshard Brooks in the back as he was running away) to be arrested and charged so soon after the killing. 
Yep, he actually said that.

There He Rolls Again!

<----------

It's no fluke!  Jimmy was on  Fox  News...Again... on 9-14-20.  This time he was defending  police  unions who promote policies that frequently shield bad cops from prosecution.  Butts loves to talk, but when the other guest gushed on and on  about Trump doing so well as President, Butts said NOTHING that might offend Fox's Republican viewers!  He just cowardly rolled his eyes.

 Butts gets Punked!

   James Butts brags about his time in law enforcement (the facts show he did a poor job). The facts also say he's been a failure on public safety as mayor, with crime rising when he became mayor, then his deceiving the public about rewards, then his claim that newspapers were reporting murders that never happened and his dubious  distinction as the ONLY mayor in Inglewood's history who had 4 people killed in a shooting... and had a resident decapitated!

safe! But Butts still acts like a tough

guy,    making empty threats against

the  killers  he   NEVER   backs  up.

Here's An Example Of How An Incompetent James Butts' Fumbled His Happy Football Dream...

Into A Bloody, Violent Nightmare!

Butts is Happy...

But that stopped...

   "Mayor" James Butts actually chose to wear a letterman's jacket to a very serious press conference about a man that was put in a coma as a result of being assaulted at the NFL Championship game at SoFi stadium.  Confronted with reporters asking many tough questions about a possible lack of security and police at that game, and conceivably at the Super Bowl, and whether or not police acted quickly enough, Butts became irritated, getting confused, raising his voice, being condescending, scowling, grimacing, and using what he apparently thought were his "magical hands."

Jimmy's confused!

Progressively...          Overwhelmed

"Overwhelmed?  Apparently.  During  the press conference, James Butts repeatedly gave unsubstantiated and even inaccurate info.  First he said there was a group of people "mingling" who were wearing "red 49er jerseys." Later, he said he really couldn't tell if they were actually wearing 49er jerseys.  He said the suspect was wearing a "Rams jersey."  Later he said it was just a yellow jersey; he couldn't really tell if it was a Rams jersey.  Then he said the suspect was wearing a red jersey.  He said the victim was wearing a "white jersey," but later he said it was a Rams jersey.  He said 3 hours after the victim was picked up by paramedics, stadium "security" told the police that the victim was taken to the hospital.  But then he said that he was sure that it was the "paramedics" who told police.  He made all these mistakes... at a press conference!  And when he changed something, he didn't say that he was correcting himself; he just kept changing things, who was wearing what, jerseys changing from white to yellow, from a Rams jersey to just red jersey, the victim wearing a Rams jersey,  but then the suspect was wearing a Rams jersey.  Butts repeatedly gave vague, unsubstantiated, inaccurate and very confusing info to the public.  That is obviously not how you solve a crime or inform the public about a serious incident!  Yes, it seems like he was, in fact, "overwhelmed."
 

The meme to the left briefly points out just some of the many similarities between James T. Butts and Donald J. Trump.  Below is a more detailed list. And please understand that every similarity listed below, and many more, is repeatedly evidenced by the Public Record, this includes newspapers, City of Inglewood, State and Federal Public Records and a number of very important Court decisions

 James Butts;   A bad Mayor sets a bad example

1-1_edited.jpg

Unless Butts was quarantining  with San Diego Charger Owner Dean Spanos and Rams Owner Stan Kroenke, there's no excuse for him to set such a bad example as to be mask-less and not socially distancing with these, and no doubt many other, people at the opening of the SoFi  stadium in September of 2020.  Butts' cavalier attitude towards the pandemic might be the reason that as of 12-25-21, out of 88 cities covered by the LA County Health Dept., Inglewood consistently hovered around the top 10-15 in overall Covid-19 cases (but being #7 on 12-25-21). Inglewood also hovered for over a year around top 3 to 5 IN DEATHS!!!.  That's right, although many of those 80+ cities the Health Dept. covers many more people than Inglewood, Inglewood's residents not only had consistently more cases reported, which could be argued may be due to some cities testing more than others, but Inglewood was consistently around the TOP 3-5 out of 88 in deaths.  Not for a day, a week or a month, but for many, many Months!!!

(Long Beach, pop. 466,776, and Pasadena, pop. 141,258, both have their own Health Departments and are not included in these statistics)




























 

Screenshot_20220205-072139_YouTube_3.jpg

Above we see that James Butts doesn't know when to where a mask, but apparently he also doesn't know how to wear a mask.  Here, at one of the press conferences he gave about the apparent victim of an assault at the NFC Championship game at the Sofi stadium in 2022, Butts shows himself to be one of the many mentally challenged people who don't know that people frequently breathe through ...their noses, so the mask needs to cover...their noses!  Both the police officers behind Butts know how to wear a mask, but not poor Jimmy.  Well, at least he wasn't wearing the mask over his eyes

Screenshot_20220127-100941_Chrome_3_edited.jpg

    And Butts isn't just willing to set a bad example for his city by taking a couple of mask-less pictures with NFL billionaires. Oh no, he'll do it with his 4 council members AND 2 people the public doesn't even know or need to know.

Mask-less!

And camera-whore Butts has no problem being the only mask-less member of a council.  Other Council's show support for masks during the Pandemic.

-------------------->

L.A.  County's  website  shows that,  as  of  Christmas  2020, there had been 7,397 covid-19 cases  in  Inglewood  and  128 deaths!   9  cities in the county, including   Los  Angeles   have more residents than Inglewood.  However,  by  Christmas 2020, Inglewood was  #5  in deaths, behind Los Angeles,  El Monte, Glendale and Pomona.   If you exclude Los Angeles, which has about   4 million  residents, 40 times  more   than   Inglewood, Inglewood  is  #4  for a  larger  sized city.  7,397  covid-19  cases rounds up to about 7% of Inglewood's population.


But even with his city being so high in covid-19 cases and deaths for so long, here James Butts is, setting a terrible example, not wearing a mask or socially distancing, as if everything was just peachy.

You really are a scum-bag.

Yes I am.  Yes...I...am.

    What a carefree life James Butts had. He's elected mayor, promising to reduce crime, but he feels no pressure to do that (see above).  He's a mayor in America, but he feels no pressure to ever respect Civil Rights, follow the Law, follow council meeting rules or even listen to his voters.  And he's married, not getting divorced, but he felt no pressure to avoid public events with his mistress...who worked for him

A

    And, just in case anyone is missing the point made in this section, concerning James Butts' adultery, THIS WOMAN IS NOT  HIS  WIFE!
<----------------------------<

     So let's summarize... Inglewood's "Mayor" James Butts, arranged for a woman, who worked with him on his election campaign, who apparently had little or no experience in the duties to which she was assigned, to be his personal mayoral assistant.  And then Butts, a legally married man, either initiated or continued a sexual relationship with the woman, and eventually about tripled her salary, bringing her package to  hundreds of thousands of dollars  a year (Daily Breeze article:  Inglewood mayor’s campaign worker made $312,000 last year as his assistant: www.dailybreeze.com/2018/06/01/inglewood-mayors-campaign-worker-made-312000-last-year-as-his-assistant/).  And then, as their adulterous relationship fell apart, he, apparently demonstrated by at least these documents below, fell apart as well, becoming obsessed, labile, filled with "emptiness," and "panicked."   Not exactly what you'd want the mindset of a mayor to be.  Right?  Coincidently," Mr. Butts' mistress was fired by the city and filed a wrongful termination lawsuit.  Not exactly the type of responsible behavior you'd want your mayor to engage in.  Right?

 

"Love Letters" from a "Lunk-Head"?

     The above documents were featured in a May 3rd, 2022 article on the website, "2URBANGIRLS."  The article reports that, "The documents were included in a 74 page filing of McDade's attorney responding to questions Butt's attorneys hopes will lead to the discovery of admissible evidence."  This website has not independently confirmed the source of these documents, but we are familiar enough with the reporting of 2URBANGIRLS that we have a high level of confidence in its accuracy. 

     If these documents were created by James Butts and given to his mistress Melanie McDade Dickens, which it appears there were, it is important to remember that James Butts was 1) married at the time, 2) professed his undying love for a woman who was not his wife, and 3) appear to support Ms. McDade's legal claim that James Butts was obsessed with her and was trying desperately to get her back.

     Also, very disturbing is the fact that James Butts, a man who has been married twice and was married at the time and is still married, says in the second letter that before he met Ms. McDade, "Women and their company were only to fill brief moments and hours between accomplishments."  What a DOUCHE!!!

   So we have just seen clear and overwhelming evidence that James Butts was  a failure in  two marriages, he  took on  a  mistress who worked for him in a campaign,  then gave  her  a city job  and made her his mistress at work, then shamelessly flaunted his adultery around the  city, and in City Hall,  for  about 10 years.                                               
       But,  despite his well-documented  and  inarguable failure  to  live up to his responsibilities in his marriages, James Butts, the crooked, lying, duplicitous candidate, actually had the NERVE to list "Husband" in his list of accomplishments in this segment of James Butts' 2022 reelection campaign website:



    And Butts obviously must have forgotten about his failure keeping the "promises" of his MARRIAGE VOWS when he bragged that he had kept his promises.


     And let's not forget that Butts' resume as a "father" includes his daughter being arrested and charged for conspiring with another individual to have her landlord attacked and allegedly shot, for some disagreement,  a daughter who had run afoul of the law before and who felt the need to literally file to have her name legally changed before she was sentenced.

Dis-honest dis-mayor.jpg

      Any  prolonged  investigation  of James  T.  Butts  Jr.  will  result  in  the discovery   of   one  constant pattern.  James  Butts  knows  that in this small city of Inglewood,  with his control of the  police and the  City Attorney,  he has  little or no chance  of being held accountable for his  lies, his breaking  of  the  Law,   or  even  his  repeated violations of Civil Rights.  His attitude is,  "Yea, I did it;  and  you  can't  do anything  about  it."     He  has  been warned   by  the  LA County D.A.  for violating the  Law,  and  continued  to do so,  but being a  Mayor, the  D.A.  obviously  doesn't  intend  on  taking action  on  anything  except the  most heinous  of  crimes.      The  fact  that James Butts illegally ran a traffic light in  L.A.,  and almost  killed a woman, her   small   son  and  even  a  police officer (see pictures below), and didn't even get a ticket, tells the whole story.




 

 
James Butts  runs a  red light, seriously injuring  an  LAPD officer, a  woman and possibly the woman's  young  daughter! 

And demonstrating that James Butts' disregard for the rules and the law is a real, literal, documented threat to public safety...

        Yes, James Butts did this, while driving a police vehicle,  that he shouldn't have been been driving, he didn't admit to even being in the accident for a week,   then saying that he feels sorry for the  officer,  but  doesn't say he feels sorry for the woman who was injured and her son, both who could have been killed,  but he says that they were "uninjured" from the crash, even though the woman was taken away in an ambulance, and he pretends he doesn't know whose fault the accident was,  even though he knew that he ran a red light,  and cut the woman  off,  and he says  in  a  council  meeting  that  he  will  take  responsibility  for the accident if an investigation says the accident is his fault,  but then, even after the city pays some of the bills from the victims... Butts still, still, doesn't take responsibility for running a red arrow.

And Butts doesn't even get a ticket!!!!

After   James   Butts deliberately  ran  the Red   traffic   arrow, being late  for a USC function,   he walked away  with   only   a bloody nose... and one  more  piece  of evidence that proves that he thinks that he is above the law!

However, the victims of  James Butts' very  reckless act, were not so lucky, they needed medical   attention, they suffered  pro- perty damage and the  officer's injuries were  so  bad  that he was off duty for quite a while, and could still be off.

***And please know that Butts damaging the city vehicle (and injuring/and almost killing others) by deliberately running a red arrow is not only illegal, but it also violates the City of Inglewood's own Civil  Service  Rules!

To the left is a self-centered public  comment  from  the reckless James Butts. 20 out of  its  77  words were about  him!   Butts calls the victims of his negligence, a woman  and her small child only "occupants," and then lies,  saying that  the "occupants"  were  "uninjured."  However,
watch the crash. Not only was their being  "uninjured", very unlikely, but the woman filed a claim with  the  city  for medical costs due to "serious injuries" (see below). Look at how she left the crash site!
 
 
 






Then  Butts  tells the public that  the  officer  was  going to make a "full recovery." But no one could have known  that   so  soon  after such    a   violent   accident!  Butts then says that he prayed for the  officer, but has absolutely apology or even a prayer for the woman and little boy he could have killed??

  
<---To the left, the officer's claim to Inglewood shows that over 3 months after the crash (Apr. to Aug.), the officer's  medical care and bills were still on-going.

     Even  the  Daily  Breeze,  a  very respected   and   award - winning newspaper,  documents that over 3 months after  James Butts  hit the officer,  and after the officer had   injury    related   costs   of  $39,000.00, the officer was still expected to need more benefits, likely medical treatment, medical leave, medication, etc.    So  no, not a "full recovery" yet.




 

    Let's be clear, James Butts used a City vehicle, instead of his own vehicle, which he gets paid to use, to deliberately and illegally run a red light, risking death to others and causing tens of thousands in property damage, tens of thousands in lost wages and ultimately hundreds of thousands in medical bills.

    And  it  should be noted,  that  although there is  no  mention of any "injuries" to the little boy,  being in a violent crash like that, and seeing his mother taken away in an ambulance, and not knowing exactly what would happen to him or his mother/ guardian, will likely have very long term negative affects that may not be obvious at this time.

      To the left is the last part of the Civil Claim against James Butts.  The claim implies/asserts that both the driver and the little boy suffered "...permanent physical and mental injuries..."

And,   just  in  case  there

is  anyone  that  is   naive

enough  to  think  that   a

reckless   James  T.  Butts

didn't  get  very different

treatment than he  would

have gotten if he was just

a common citizen, here's

an almost  exact example

of an apparently common

man,  in  an  SUV,   alone,

driving   in  Los  Angeles, 

only a mere 4 miles away,

who also  crashed  into  a

a   motorcycle  cop,   who 

was not moving,  and sent

that  cop  to  the  hospital with serious injuries.  As the ABC NEWS story reports,  this  common man, was arrested and taken to jail

     In the response, James Butts' attorney, no doubt with James Butts' approval, dishonestly appears to claim that, quote, "...the negligence of the Plaintiffs [the woman and her daughter] caused and or contributed to the alleged damages" and that the woman and her daughter, "...failed to exercise reasonable care and diligence to avoid loss and minimize the resulting damages..." and, possibly the most dastardly claim of all, that the woman and her daughter, by simply driving to school on a public street, "...knowingly and voluntarily agreed to, and participated in, the actions which Plaintiff claims have caused injury or damages herein." Who "agrees to" be slammed into by an SUV???  Just like most predators, James Butts is going to try to blame the victims, including a little girl, for the physical and emotional injuries that he recklessly imposed on them.

James T. Butts gets Inglewood
Sued...Again!

   On May 2,  2021, the Daily  Breeze  reported what this website had reported months ago.  The Daily Breeze described how the  City of Inglewood, led by James Butts, attempted to defend James Butts' reckless and dangerous act of deliberately running a Red Light by try-ing to... blame the Officer for James Butts hitting and almost killing him!!!

   That's right!    The Lying, Law-Breaking,  Civil Rights Violating,       Incompetent, Wife - choking  and  Child-Beating   Adulterer   to  the left  sat  in  a  City  Council meeting after the crash and repeatedly said that  he was "heart-broken"  because the officer  was  injured...,  but then   apparently   OK'd   a  legal response that actually blamed the  injured officer for...  James  Butts  injuring him.  Unbelievable!!! 

------------------------------------------------------------

 And  from  the "How is this fool still Mayor" section...

Listen to this!

James Butts said that... the officer who killed Breonna Taylor should NOT have been charged... That the charge was "ridiculous"!

0-12_edited.jpg

"This was not a situation that should have been resolved with charges.  They had a lawful warrant." -- James Butts.

"The charge for Reckless Endangerment is just an appeasement; just an appeasement.  And it's just ridiculous." -- James Butts.

Once again, James Butts was on his favorite News Station,
FOX NEWS, playing the role of the Judas Goat.  He was once again, defending police officers who killed someone.

0-14_edited.jpg

     "Once  the  firing  started,    you  can't  charge  officers  for  defending themselves." --- James Butts

     James Butts  thinks  that  police  can  kill an unarmed woman in her own home,  but  a  man  can't  try  to protect an unarmed woman from those he thinks are dangerous intruders. 

     Most  odd  is  this,  in   this  interview,   James Butts  tried  to  play both ends, saying that the officer that killed  Breonna Taylor should not have been charged, but that he  should  have been... fired.   But... if  Butts  thinks  that  the  officer  didn't  do anything illegal,  why does he think the officer should have been fired???

    James Butts smirks when  he  hears another  guest on the show criticizing  the  decision  to  only charge the  officer  who  killed  Breonna  Taylor with Reckless Endangerment.

Because  James Butts  is  a  deceitful conman!

James Butts Gets Slapped Down Trying to be "Big Brother"

(And just to be clear, we don't mean he wants to be "a" big brother, you know, take an  actual  younger  family member, or some other younger person in need of guidance, under his wing, protect them,  support them and help them navigate though their life...No!  We mean he wants to be "Big Brother," you know, secretly use the government to illegally gather as much personal information on people as possible to use against them later..., like that "Big Brother.")

     First, although James Butts and his minions claim that Inglewood's home values rising was caused by James Butts bringing the So Fi stadium to Inglewood..., that's NOT a real thing.  Graphed information from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, proves that housing values in the United States, not just in cities that got stadiums, dramatically rebounded from the 2007 real estate crisis in about 2012 and started to rise dramatically again, all over the United States, starting in about 2020. --------------------------------->

    So,  as housing values in the United

States  rose,  and  with  inflation  from

the   pandemic,   Inglewood's  housing

values rose as well.   Reportedly, some

landlords dramatically raised their rents

and  there  were  individual  as  well as

organized   calls   for   rent  control  in

Inglewood.  So, just like Butts used the

fact that Sofi didn't have enough park-

ing to charge most residents with cars

for parking permits to park  in front of

their own homes, James Butts used the rise in rents to try to tax his constituent's and, apparently, data-mine their personal info, creating "Housing Protection Department."

 

     City Hall repeatedly publicized that in 2022 Inglewood would be requiring that all residential property owners, not just  property owners who had rental property, and not just all landlords, but, to quote a City mailer (1), "ALL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES," had to be officially registered with the city by the owners.  Again, according to published city documents, and even a legal public notice they put in a newspaper (2), owners of "ALL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES," including single family homes, would be legally required to register their properties with the city, even if "...IT IS NOT BEING USED AS A RENTAL"(2). Those are direct quotes.

     Also, here was a city webpage that said that "ALL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS" must register their properties and still another city document (3) said, in bolded and underlined letters, that a resident's home must be registered even if, "...IT IS NOT BEING USED AS A RENTAL."  And let's just stop here and agree that everyone knows what the word "ALL" means...right?  "ALL" doesn't mean "some" residential properties or "most" residential properties or "certain" residential properties; "All" means "ALL" residential properties.   

 

    The fact that people living in their own homes, homes, "NOT BEING USED AS A RENTAL," (3) needed to file registrations and provide financial and personal information to the city was not just in websites and city documents, but James Butts even did a radio commercial reinforcing the message.  So James Butts can never say he didn't know about it, that these were actions taken by his subordinates.

  

      And what  "registration" information  did  James  Butts  and  "Housing  Protection  Department" (HPD)  want?   City documents  say  that  Butts  wanted not only wanted public information,  like the property's  square  footage and 

when the  property  was bought,  but also to identify

all  those  who lived on the property  and  the name,

address and phone number of those those resident's emergency contacts.  And, that  official Legal Notice published  by  the city (2) indicated  something even

more intrusive.  It  indicated  that all of  Inglewood's  homeowners,  even if they  weren't renting anything,

would  not  only  have  to  give the city

personal information about themselves,   

and  their  family  and/or  friends,  but

they may also  be   forced   to   submit 

to  a   home  "inspection" (4).  And, of

course  the  city was  also  threatening 

to financially penalize (2) homeowners, 

who  lived  in  their  own homes,   and

who  refused  to  register,  who  didn't 

want   to   give   up   their   and  their

family's  private information.  All these

intrusive, unnecessary and likely illegal

requirements evidenced that  this  was 

just  another  example  of  how James

Butts  blatantly  abuses  his   power to 

commit  what  appears to be the  very 

definition of  governmental  overreach.

      Obviously,   James  Butts  creating   

city   ordinances,   financial   penalties  

and  other  threats   to   coerce  "ALL"

of  Inglewood's  residential  property  owners,  owners that had  no rental property  whatsoever, to provide information that  clearly  appeared  to  be an invasion of a resident and their  family's privacy, was not only unnecessary to enforce rent  control,  but  was  likely  very  illegal.   So  what  was  James  Butts  actually  trying  to do?  There was absolutely no  need  to  get information about "non-rental" properties to control rental properties.   So was  James Butts trying to use   some   pretense  to  data-mine  personal  information  from  his  constituents?

      Residents  voiced   their   anger   about   this  apparent 

attempt  to violate their privacy, to coerce them out of their 

money and and their and their family's personal information.

So,  beginning  in  about November  or  early  December  of 

2021, it started being reported that city officials were  trying 

to revise history regarding the residential property  registration.  Reportedly,

many  homeowners  were  wondering  what  they  could  do to  stop James 

Butts' apparent attempt at unfairly taxing and data-mining them, which may

have  violated  a  number  of  state  and  Federal  Laws.   And  complaining

residents may have led  to suing residents  or  D.A.  investigations,  leading 

to  more  legal  entanglements for the, already, most  scandal-ridden Mayor

in the history of this city. 

 

      So what happened?  The  Butts  administration  started

BLAMING RESIDENTS for the complaints, pushing the story

that residents  "misunderstood"  the program requirements,

that  "ALL"  residential property owners with no rental units

were really  never  expected to register their property,  but

residents just  "misunderstood."   It was all just a big, well-

documented,   legally  noticed  misunderstanding,  with  at

least one radio commercial.

 

       But  as  with most of  James Butts' lies, and he tells an

awful lot of them,  this  one  was  very well-documented  to

be  a  lie (attachments #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5  are  just  a

few  examples).   There was no misunderstanding.   And in

fact,   the  letter  that  the  city  of Inglewood sent  out  on 

12-13-21, PROVES that  James Butts and his administration

were, indeed, trying to tax and coerce personal information

from Inglewood's  residents, for reasons that had NOTHING

to do with anybody renting anything!

      The  letter  from  the  city (#5), dated 12-13-21  states, 

quote,  "As of  December 9, 2021,  the  mandatory registration requirement  for  Single  Family  Homes  and  Condominiums  (not  owned by a company,  Corporation,  or  Real  Estate  Investment  Trust)  has  been  CANCELLED."   Yes,  the  letter misspelled  "canceled,"   but it confirms that the city had intended on imposing those requirements on homeowners who were living in and not renting their homes.

 

       But  just  like  Donald Trump,  James Butts does not like to admit a mistake or acknowledge a loss.  So, as is typical with James Butts and his administration, the city admitted that there was a requirement in the first  place,  by saying  that  the  requirement  was  now canceled, but the letter still tried to hide the  crime  they  were  trying to commit,  saying that  "There has been  a  misunderstanding  by  some  Single  Family  property  owners."    But  what  exactly  was  city  claiming the  misunderstanding  was?  Residents who were not renting their homes were  absolutely  right;  there was a requirement for them to  register  their  property,  and  they  felt  they  shouldn't  have  to  register  their properties,  so they complained.  Residents "understood" exactly what was happening.

         

      So the requirement that  "ALL" residential  property owners needed to register their properties was well-documented,  for months and  months, and now the City says it has been "canceled."  And it must be added that it is apparently being cancelled, without any litigation and no  re-writing  or reworking of the ordinance itself.  It seems that if the city thought it needed certain information, and wrote that into the ordinance, and then cancelled requirements notated in the ordinance, the ordinance would have to be amended.   This was not something discussed by the city.   And  if  these  requirements were in the ordinance,  because  the  city  sincerely  thought  the  information was needed to properly manage the "Housing Protection Department" (HPD),   why  was  there  no  mention  of  how  the city would try to maintain the level of information that the city initially thought to be needed to  carry out the mission of the HPD.  Nope, the requirement was just   "CANCELLED,"  giving the clear impression  that  Butts  and  his  minions  agreed that  non-renting homeowners  being  required  to  register was  not  only just not necessary, but was not even required by the ordinance.  Who knows if  James  Butts  will ever have the ordinance amended to reflect this "cancellation, but for now,  the city's action only gives the impression that Butts and his minions just realized they were caught; they tried, but you can't win em all. 

 

       So  the  question  is,   what  was  James Butts  trying  to  pull?    Why  did  James  Butts  want all  this,  now  publicly  exposed  as unnecessary, information?  Why  did  he  want  this  personal and real estate information from  Inglewood's  residents,  which  had  nothing to do with  rental property?   Did  Butts  want  the city  to sell this information to his developer friends,  give  it  to some new developers  or  just allow the developers  to be able  to  get  the  information  themselves  because  once  the  city  had it, the info  would  be  public  information?   Did  James  Butts  want  to  use  this  information  as some sort of leverage against residents?   Or  is  this just another manifestation of James Butts'  fascist  nature,   that  he  just  wanted  to  know  as  much  about  "ALL"  residents  as  possible?    Again,  the question is,   if  getting  this  information from  non-renting homeowners  wasn't  necessary  to  control  rents, evictions,  etc.,  through  the Inglewood Housing Protection program, why, why, was James  Butts  so  desperate  to  get  "ALL"  that personal information from Inglewood's residents?
