California Post<\/a> first reported the lawsuit on Monday, which was also the last day for candidates to withdraw paperwork to run for office.<\/p>\nMcOsker is seeking a second term representing District 15, which includes Harbor City, Harbor Gateway, San Pedro, Watts and Wilmington. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am saddened and troubled that this happened here in our community, and my heart breaks for the victim and his family. I hope they have gotten the care needed. My office will be here to provide advocacy and support for anybody who has been traumatized by this incident,\u201d McOsker said in a statement. <\/p>\n
Asked whether Rivers should withdraw, McOsker campaign consultant Dave Jacobson said, \u201cOnly Mr. Rivers could decide whether to run, and only he can decide whether he should stay in the race.\u201d <\/p>\n
Rivers, who listed his occupation as \u201ccommunity organizer\u201d on campaign filings, has not reported any campaign donations. By Dec. 31, McOsker\u2019s campaign had raised over $190,000, according to the city\u2019s Ethics Commission.<\/p>\n
Juvenile criminal records are sealed. Rivers said that law enforcement \u201cgot involved\u201d but that he did not serve time in juvenile hall. <\/p>\n
Paul Parszik, Nicholas\u2019 father, said he was doing dishes when he heard screaming from the garage and Nicholas ran into the house with stab wounds on his neck and shoulders. <\/p>\n
Paul Parszik recalled shoving his fingers into the wounds to stanch the bleeding. <\/p>\n
Nicholas fully recovered and is about to turn 18, his father said, but still has physical scars.<\/p>\n
In an interview with The Times, Rivers denied attacking Nicholas. He said he had been cooking and accidentally brought a cooking knife to the younger boy\u2019s home. <\/p>\n
He forgot that he had put the knife under a video game controller, and the two began \u201cplay fighting,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Rivers said he didn\u2019t notice anything was wrong until Nicholas was already injured. <\/p>\n
Rivers\u2019 mother, Eunice Rivers, wrote in a 2016 filing in the lawsuit that her son \u201cwas eating an apple and had a small peeler in his hand to cut his apple when the Plaintiff started wrestling with the Defendant. While wrestling Plaintiff Nicholas was injured.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eunice Rivers settled the case, which was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, for $10,000 in 2018. The settlement did not include an admission of fault. <\/p>\n
In an October court filing, Paul Parszik claimed that Eunice Rivers never paid the settlement and owes $7,941.71 in interest. <\/p>\n
Parszik said the lawsuit was primarily intended to pressure the Rivers family to move away, which they did not do. <\/p>\n
He plans to attend Rivers\u2019 campaign rallies. <\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t wait to go home and go to his first rally and say, \u2018Hey, you stabbed my kid and you have no remorse,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordan Rivers, who is running to represent a harbor-area district on the Los Angeles City Council, said he…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":645350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[31142,1582,276,12088,2961,379,224,5337,126210,135507,274356,274357,15855,6176,1630,8743,6218,274358,274359,169725],"class_list":["post-645349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-boy","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-campaign","tag-la","tag-lawsuit","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-mcosker","tag-neck","tag-nicholas-parszik","tag-paul-parszik","tag-primary-election","tag-race","tag-report","tag-river","tag-rivers","tag-san-pedro-home","tag-shoulder-area","tag-stab-wound"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116204415608200765","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
