Los Angeles, CA — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed on Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday. But before we jump into the Golden State's top stories, another rally against California's vaccine mandates took place on Saturday, drawing more than 1,000 people in Santa Monica. Demonstrators gathered to protest a motion passed by the Los Angeles City Council on Aug. 11 directing the city attorney to prepare an ordinance requiring people to show proof of at least partial vaccination against COVID-19 to enter most public indoor spaces in the city, including restaurants, bars, gyms, concert venues, movie theaters and retail establishments. Read more about that here. The rally took place just one week after a similar demonstration erupted into violence in downtown Los Angeles, where one man was stabbed and news reporters were attacked amid an entanglement of dueling protesters. From a man who remained in custody this weekend after stealing an airport vehicle and breaching airport security in Orange County to a large-scale raid at two illegal San Diego marijuana dispensaries — here are the top stories in and around Southern California that you might have missed this weekend.
