Russians Indicted! Scofflaws charged!

What a day! 
Thirteen "Russian nationals" and three Russian 'entities' have been charged with meddling with the 2016 elections.  ABC News is careful to say that no collusion is being charged.  Working to destroy confidence in our most sacred system of democratic elections and the way the election went seems, to me.. to speak for itself!

Locally, the property owners who illegally demolished a classic Craftsman home at 1420 Valley View in Glendale, CA have been ordered to appear in court to face 'misdemeanor' charges associated with neglect and the demolition of this historic home.  
This from Tom Lorenz: Press Representative for the City of Glendale.

"Glendale, CA – 

Glendale City Attorney Michael Garcia announced that his office has filed a criminal complaint in the Superior Court for Los Angeles County charging the owners of a property with the failure to obtain permit for complete demolition of a potentially historic home in violation of both city and state codes.

The five-count misdemeanor complaint against the owners of 1420 Valley View, Glendale, CA includes the failure to obtain required permits for previous interior alterations and failure to provide adequate weather protection, as well as for the recent unpermitted demolition of the structure. 

The complaint filed by the Glendale City Attorneys names the defendants as Aroutin Behzad and Arpi Azarian Namagerdi with a court appearance scheduled for March 6, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. in the Glendale Courthouse located at 600 East Broadway, Glendale, CA.

I found an "Aroutin Panosian" on Facebook and am waiting to see if he will respond and confirm that he is the same person managing this property. 

 

I hope that the Glendale Historical Society and all concerned residents will show up on Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at 8:30 AM to support the most severe penalties for these scofflaws who are responsible for the destruction of this now vanished residence. Let's see if we can find the demolition company and ask to see the  permit that authorized the demolition.  Will the Historical Society be able to assess the money damages not only to our history but in terms of rebuilding the home to the specifics of the original plan?  Of course, this loss is priceless: gone.  Perhaps setting an example with heavy fines or even jail time may be an idea?
