I thought that Bell was a nice city. The mayor is a grocery owner? This could tell you how Bell is. Anyways, the mayor should be more cautious next time he rents a property. But how you cannot know that you are renting a house for a meth lab?

Mayor Oscar Hernandez owns the property and his kids live there how can you not notice barrels going into the property? Another thing is grocery store is 4 house away. The park is behind the house and the school is less than a block away.

Bell is a nice city, meth labs can be found in even the "nicest" cities. The update is that the people that were arrested are now released because the chemicals that were used were for their work purpose which has something to do with flooring. I think that certain people are just trying to slam Oscar because they have nothing better to do. We have known the family for years and they are honest humble people. Oscar is a great neighbor and very polite it's just envy. By the wat Bell is a nice city to live in.

This sounds like Oscar speaking. Exactly what the Taco Man said on the news that it happens in every city. Come on Oscar take of the hair piece and say the truth you were getting a cut to have Bell P.D. stay silent.

For your information "watch city of Bell" Im not the mayor, four eyes, im a resident, and if I recall there have been meth labs found in Santa Monica, Riverside county in the nice high class areas. And regarding the taco stand, i come from a family that has their own business and it is possible to have that if you work hard for it. His store has been around for over 20 years and everyone in the neighborhood buys stuff there. Stop being a hater. Envy is not good, that's not how you get what you want.

Here are some inconsistencies from the super meth lab raid in the city of Bell.

For those unfamiliar with the process of removing hazardous materials which can included chemicals available at your local home depot store, the blue barrels shown on TV are used by the HAZMAT unit. But the public impression is that the barrels were at the location in question.

1. The two men arrested were released hours later by the LASD.
2. They were released without bond.(Unusual for someone operating a super-meth lab)
3. No drugs were found at the site.
4. The blue barrels shown by the news came from the HAZMAT unit and, are used for the removal of chemicals and contaminated soil.
5. The Sheriff’s Department reported that the mother was arrested and that the kids ( age 2 and 3) were placed under the care of social services. This is not true, the kids were with the mother and she was not arrested
6. There was no search warrant for the location, suspect was intimidated and forced to sign a permission to search premises document.
7. I was able to talk to the head agent from the Hazmat unit and he confirmed that there is no signs of meth cooking in the kitchen or bath contrary to initial Sheriff statement that there was evidence of cooking in kitchen and bath. Also he stated that he was surprised to hear the Sheriff statement describing the location as a "super meth lab".

To my understanding the blue barrels are used by the Fire department hazardous material response unit, to remove anything that is considered dangerous to the environment, including spray cans, flooring materials like glue, pain thiner, muriatic acid etc. As smart as you sound Mr. Watchmycity at least educated yourself before assuming that all those barrels were stored in that location.

L.A. County Sheriff's Department alleges a large meth lab was in operation, but a hazmat unit with the county Fire Department says no traces of the drug were found.
By Ruben Vives
June 26, 2009
In the early hours one Saturday last month, more than a dozen narcotic agents led by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department stormed into a cream stucco house in the city of Bell.

Inside, agents said, they seized the components of a large meth lab capable of producing 20 pounds of the drug in a single batch. Two men were taken into custody and two children were placed under the care of the Department of Children and Family Services, authorities had said. Making the bust more newsworthy: The home -- one of three on the property -- is owned by the mayor of Bell, Oscar Hernandez. The raid occurred in a rental home in the back.

But nearly three weeks later, questions are being raised about the account the Sheriff's Department released about the discovery.

While the Sheriff's Department insists meth was found in the house, officials with the county Fire Department's hazardous materials said their test results showed no traces of meth inside or outside the home. They also said there was no evidence to indicate meth had been ever produced there.

"Solvents were detected in the soil of the yard," said Erick Gonzalez, a hazardous materials specialist for the Fire Department, who added that it is unclear whether the solvents could be used to make meth. Soil samples were dug up and placed in blue barrels for testing and disposal, he said.

Children's department spokeswoman Susan Jakubowski said no children were taken from the home the day of the raid, a fact sheriff's investigators now acknowledge is true. Officials blamed the inaccurate information on miscommunication between them and the reporting officer. But they stand by their assertion that meth was found at the home, disputing the Fire Department's findings.

Agents "found traces of products that are used to make methamphetamine," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. "It was deemed a 'superlab' by the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement because it was a lab that had indeed made meth but was not in production when they arrived there."

Whitmore said an ounce of meth with a street value of $1,500 was also found inside, but investigators did not know whether it had been produced at the home or elsewhere.

Investigators with the multi-agency task force "cleaned it all out as part of the investigation and the hazmat team was called out to see if there was any chemical residue left, and there wasn't," Whitmore said. He also said that the hazmat unit is not responsible for determining whether a meth lab was present.

Mayor Hernandez owns the home but does live in it.

The two men arrested, renter Carlos Zetina, 25, and his uncle Rogelio Zetina, 49, have been released on $75,000 bail but have not been charged, according to the district attorney's office.

Hernandez said he's suspicious of the raid -- and about how the initial news of it was disseminated to the media. He said he thinks political opponents might have been involved but offered no proof.

"Oscar is very popular and there's some people who hate him," Bell Councilman Luis Artiga said.

Whitmore said his department was simply doing its job. "It's important to listen to the experts as to what was found at any particular site," he said. "All these people do is track down meth labs; that's their job. We don't believe the mayor had any knowledge of this."

Hernandez, however, feels that message is not getting out. He said his family has been ostracized because of the raid.

Oscar Hernandez for President? My ass his nothing but a thief. The whole family are idiots and thiefs. They don't even like our own Hispanic race yet alone the community. Mayor Hernandez left his wife who has been by his side for more than 30 years for a young female to hold his hair piece together. Oscar knew there was drugs in the home and knows the family real good. MAYOR HERNANDEZ RESIGN YOU POST! Oh and one more thing wheres Bob Rizzo?

THIS WAS A PLOT TO DESTROY OSCAR BECAUSE HIS ENEMIES KNEW THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO ENTER INTO THE CITY COUNCIL. BUT NEITHER OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A GOOD COUNCILMAN, SOME OF HIS OPPONENTS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN SCAMMERS THAT SUPPORT TERROR ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE MONEY THEY STEAL. THE OTHERS ARE CHILD MOLESTERS.
SOME DIRTY COP STARTED THIS WHOLE THING BECAUSE THINGS DIDN’T GO THEIR WAY, A NASTY DETECTIVE WITH THE HELP OF A BUNCH OF DIRTY COPS INCLUDING ONE AGENT OF THE SHERIFF DEP. THAT HAPPENS TO BE RELATED TO ONE OF OSCAR ENEMIES PLOTTED AGAINTS THE MAYOR.

READ THE NEW ARTICLE, HERE IS A QUOTE

“Agents "found traces of products that are used to make methamphetamine," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. "It was deemed a 'superlab' by the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement because it was a lab that had indeed made meth but was not in production when they arrived there."

THERE WAS NO OPERATIONAL LAB, HAZMATH DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO PROOF OF A LAB EVER EXISTED THERE;

“officials with the county Fire Department's hazardous materials said their test results showed no traces of meth inside or outside the home. They also said there was no evidence to indicate meth had been ever produced there.”

THAT’S A DIFFERENT STATEMENT FROM THE FIRST TIME, THE BLUE BARRELS WERE’N FILLED WITH CHEMICALS BUT SOIL, SEE A QUOTE FROM THE ARTICLE YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE;

"Solvents were detected in the soil of the yard," said Erick Gonzalez, a hazardous materials specialist for the Fire Department, who added that it is unclear whether the solvents could be used to make meth. Soil samples were dug up and placed in blue barrels for testing and disposal, he said.

HAZMAT BRINGS THE BARRELS TO TAKE AWAY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL, IT WAS A SETUP BUT IT WILL BACKFIRE ON THE DIRTY COPS AND THE OTHER ENEMIES OF THE MAYOR, BECAUSE TRUE WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL AGAINST CHILD MOLESTERS AND TERRORISTS.

COPS ARE UPSET BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY, MOST OF THEIR TIME IS SPENT TALKING ON THE PHONE, OR HAVING AFFAIRS WITH MULTIPLE WOMEN. THEY GET PAID GOOD AND ALWAYS COMPLAIN WHEN THEY HAVE TO WORK.

They have never been a link to anyone being in a terrorist organization or child molester. Your father Oscar Hernandez has been linked to drugs and molestation. So stop with your stupid remarks and run the LIQUOR store your dad owns. Stop selling alcohol next to the school. In the end your stupid dad has to cover his track of stealing money from the City.

Why are cops dirty when they are the ones towing away hard working HISPANIC's cars to pay your dads, other councilmember’s, George Cole and fat Rizzo luxury life style? I bet you that the other so called political enemies will do better for the city than your dad.

Daily Horoscope for December 4

Taurus

Someone simply isn't being realistic or practical today, Taurus. He or she seems to be lost in a dream world of wishful thinking and idealism, none of which has much to do with what's really going on. Unfortunately, they won't want to hear any of this and may even manipulate the situation so they don't have to listen to your opinions. Be careful when dealing with this character and try not to get sucked into this desire to escape reality at all costs.
