Thanks

Pretty funny. The car's probably a salvage-switch. ;)

Hahaha, that's awesome, 5 stars.
Nice. Well, look for a blue BMW 330Ci with a CA "Coastal" plate that ends in SSIC. You probably know that already. Reminds me of a few people from high school.

ROTFLMAO! I worked Hollywood for fifteen years, 6A49 - east of the 101 freeway, my days were chock full of these guys! I have a deputy buddy who resides in Glendale, I'm sending him the link ASAP.
He was once a bailiff on the Glendale traffic court. One day I called him at work and started talking like an Armo..."Hello, this is Krikor Menukian, I will be late to court...they wrote me ticket for expired registration in my Trans Am. I will be in an green Addidas track suit and black wing-tip shoes. I will be wearing a gold chain and a Rolex....okay?" My buddy bought every word of it. I bust out laughing. He said someone dressed like that was in his court 5-6 times a day.
On the positive side, my favorite Armenian is 80's porn star Christy Canyon. If they all looked like her, I'd be living in Glendale.

When I worked autotheft, I arrested large numbers of Armenians who were involved in salvage-switch operations. One guy, I arrested for running a chopshop went to prison and when he got out a couple of years later called me. He said there were no hard feelings on his part, had learned his lessons and wasn't going to be selling any more "rebuilt cars." He excitedly said, "I have new business now! Totally legitimate! Cellular phones!!!" :D

Isn't Glendale looking to hire Armenian speaking officers? I hope they find some good people and ones that are going to be an asset. I live in Sacramento area and there is a suburb here that has a high Armenian population. I lived amongs them for a long time now, I went to school with them. I don't have much good to say about most of them. From what I heard and seen the police has lots of problems with them here as well. The whole salvage bussiness is well known around here as well. There are numereous shops, junk yards etc. owned by Armenians here, however I think some of them run legitimate businesses and are decent guys. From what I experienced and know is that most Armenians don't get along with Russians that well, I know this because I'm Russian myself.

All the Armenians that I have known are hot-headed, argumentative, and terrible drivers. The native Armenians are also extremely racist.

Saw this at CGIA...A detective from GPD showed it and said that AP wasn't too happy about it being broadcasted.

Glendale, Burbank and Pasadena all have large Armenian populations and want officers who speak the language.
Anyone who is in the business of rebuilding and selling salvaged vehicles is probably involved in car theft as well. If not, many of these vehicles are dangerously rebuilt (major structural damage with lots of "bondo" and paint). Few cars sold by insurance companies as "salvage" can be cost effectively rebuilt or repaired. That's why they won't cover them for anything but liability if a purchaser wants to insure a car with "salvage" on the title.

That video is old news on the LAPD side...but its seriously funny. When I working CI (collision Investigation) it was my ringtone. Nothing like a T/C where 9 people are trying to explain that the driver of the salvaged BMW (who started rolling on the ground in pain when he saw my black and white) is not party one. There were gold chains and body hair every where. Oh and if you want traffic court OT just write them a couple tickets...
In reality though there are a few armenian gangs The organized crime side has been known to be pretty violent and often tied to several Russian crime syndicates..
:D:D:D:D:D HAHAHAHAHA oh man "..gold chains and body hair every where." haha good stuff man.

Mike Connors (Krikor Ohanian) is my cousin. He's a super nice guy. I grew up in Fresno (Largest population of Armenians outside of Armenia) and am Armenian myself. Most of us are good people and we ALL hate the Turks. ;-) I also believe Kyser Sose was modeled after a member of the Armenian Mafia (of which my Grandpa told me never to speak of).
I'm in Long Beach now and there aren't too many of us down here.

That video was done by a guy named "Psycho Mike" he is on Kroq's (106.7) morning show. If you like that video, look up some of his other stuff.
"Fire cr*tch" - It's a song he wrote for Lindsay Lohan - http://www.kroq-data.com/wah/wah/dcvideo/avc-view.aspx?videoid=2928&categoryid=
"Hey there vag--a" ( a remix of "hey there delilah ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIN02yo6BwM
And many, many more..
Guy is pretty funny.

His latest one is imitating K-Fed singing about Barack Obama. I think it's called Grape Soda in the White House. People think it's actually K-Fed and are really insulted, LOL!
