I'm just curious as to when the carnival became such a hole? The last few years that I went I just thought that maybe the fist fights, thefts and general dumbasses were just rare occurrences.
I went to the carnival this Saturday night from about 10:00 until 12:30. I saw a total of 3 separate fist fights, a purse snatching, about 7 arrests(including some guy unconcious in the aftermath), last but not least, a group of s jumping an older man and beating him with a huge stick in the middle of a busy street(Nueva and Flores). I can't see how some of the parents can risk their childrens safety by taking them to the carnival.
Also, I'm surprised I didn't get herpes of the eyes just by catching a glimpse of some of the hoodrats out there.
I've only been to the carnival once in my life, and that was enough for me. Out of all the major Fiesta events, that's the only one I stay away from. Although I would imagine its probably different during the day.

Yeah, during the day it's not a bad deal. But at night, the hoods come a crawling. SAPD needs to bash some heads, and keep it family friendly throughout. Those pieces of aren't spending any money anyway.
It is much better during the day, I dont even go anymore cause of all the crap going on. Its been bad for at quit some time.
Sounds exciting.
yeah at night it gets down right scary out here.
the cops let them loiter though instead of giving them the "move along"
Yeah I think your first mistake was reading, "I went to the carnival this Saturday night from about 10:00 until 12:30". Stay clear of the Carnival after night fall. Period. All the little hood rats and wannabe gangsters love to hang there cause they really can't get into anywhere else.
i love me some hoodrats
I've yet to Fiesta and don't intend to start any time soon.
It's been a hole for sometime now. Remember it's "free" and anything that's free those damn mexicans will take over the whole carnival. It's true and I'm hispanic! I stay clear from the carnival!
its sad that i have to read this.
Shame that the city doesn't clean this up.
my borther got shanked one night
I'm not opposed to police brutality.
Yeah, I should've assumed the freaks DO come out at night. If the city wants a Fiesta to be proud of, they need to clean that up. I don't know how many "homebrew CD" booths I saw out there. What kind of image is the city trying to portray by having profanity filled music filling the air while trying to promote a family friendly place? I have no problem with the music, but I enjoy it on my own time and it's not the place to have a song with a chorus of " these hoes, , these hoes" playing alongside the balloon dart game. It's true about the "free" part, maybe the only way to weed out the rubbish, is to start charging for entry. BIG MAYBE.
Believe me, being Hispanic, I could easily blend in and I was still looking over my shoulder for " starters". I never let my fiance let go of my hand. It's nothing but a pissing contest for stupid kids out there. Who has the most fake diamonds, lowest pants or least respect for the SAPD. I saw a lot of the workers there get cussed out just because the beer booth was closed or they took too long getting change. It was sick. Pathetic.
Note to self don't go there...without protection and if I do go do not have a purse.

The city is way too stupid to do that.
, the carnival that has the contract for that area, isn't even allowed to charge them rent, for the area they use of the carnivals, that the carnival pays over a million dollars rent for!!!
Its a friggen joke.
Part of the reason you'll never clean up the carnival is that pretty much fiesta is all about boozing it up.
Charging a gate admission will only kill the carnival's revenue, and the gangsters will still come in.
Trust me, I've seen it tried, in many other places, many other situations.
Its police involvement is the key to the problem.
not even close.
Now the hole that is sacramento?
You want to feel in danger walking on a carnival, thats one right there.
That town, good god... Only fair I have worked at where the patrons went into the parking lot and destroyed totalled, rolled vehicles over, started fires by throwing molotov tails.
Friggne exposition blvd looked like Baghdad for godsake.
Have you ever been here?
San Antonio isn't very ghetto at all.
But every carnival I've ever been to has been bad at night.
Even in Westwood and Beverly Hills, people get shanked at carnivals - that's how it goes.
Hey now Kori, you've never come to Costa Mesa, and Del Mar.
They aren't bad
Costa Mesa is pretty bad. It's pretty bad even without the carnival. Del Mar I'll give you is damn safe.Hey now Kori, you've never come to Costa Mesa, and Del Mar.
They aren't bad
Never lived there, wouldn't know.
