MyspaceTwo Venice area men have been arrested on attempted murder charges following a large brawl in Isla Vista on February 18 that led to two stabbings. Jon-Kane McCullough, 19, and Sean Robert Flynn, 21, are booked in Santa Barbara County Jail each with $1 million bail.
According to a Sheriff’s Department spokesperson, deputies with I.V. Foot Patrol responded to calls of a fight on the 6600 block of Del Playa Drive where two groups people — numbering 6-20 total — had squared off at around 12:30 a.m. before continuing the confrontation westward on Del Playa.
Jon-Kane McCullough
An investigation revealed that a 21-year-old who reportedly tried to stop the fight was beaten unconscious. A 24-year-old who also tried to break things up was slashed on the hand with a knife. Both were transported to the hospital and treated for their injuries. Within minutes of the two assaults, a 20-year-old male was stabbed in the stomach in the area of Camino Del Sur and Sabado Tarde. He was also taken to the hospital and released a few days later.
As they searched for suspects, detectives were eventually led to Venice and on Monday, February 27, placed McCullough and Flynn in custody. According to the Sheriff’s spokesperson, the two men and group of friends drove to Isla Vista to party on February 17 and got into an altercation with several people later that night.
The spokesperson said McCullough’s and Flynn’s booking photos are not being released because the investigation is ongoing. Those with information for detectives about the incidents are asked to call (805) 681-4150 or the Sheriff’s Anonymous Tip Line at (805) 681-4171.

The pendleton speaks volumes, these guys are either wannabe Venice XIII or stupid Suicidals, mainly a bunch of little White kids from the nice outlying areas of Venice trying to be homies.
The gang Injunction should cover their miserable existences as well.
Welcome to IV ladies, now go to Graybar Suites. Book em' Danno! :) henry

IV has been promoted as party town USA for decades, and rightly so. Now you have facebook, how are you supposed to stop it? I've had plenty of friends and relatives come and enjoy the festivities, and am having more come next month. I wouldn't take it back for anything, and neither would they. So it would be hypocritical for me to tell others that they shouldn't invite their friends up to party. That doesn't mean the place can't use an attitude adjustment on occasion, but it needs to come from the residents and participants themselves. It has before, and it will again.
This is a rare and unfortunate situation, but the only people who got hurt chose to get involved.. So while it is unfortunate that those who were injured were the supposed "peacemakers", really it doesn't affect anybody else, least of all the two IV residents above.

Venice is a "Nice Outlaying Area". The people who live in that outlaying area refer to Venice, as where the debree meets the sea. It's right behind that other nice outlaying area, Hollywood for douchebags, gangbangers and pervs.

BeenThere: "Venice is a "Nice Outlaying Area". The people who live in that outlaying area refer to Venice as where the debris meets the sea."
That's NOT what I said. Here's what I said: "nice OUTLYING areas of Venice."
What that means is neighborhoods outside of venice such as Northside Santa Monica, West L.A. (mainly the Bundy/Sunset area), Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Marina Del Rey, Cheviot Hills, you know, OUTLYING AREAS, not Venice itself.
Got a map of the region for you, should you need to consult it, I'd use it, but i lived down there for a while, know the hoods pretty well & NO, venice is NOT A NICE OUTLYING AREA. Ghostown is a battle zone, make sure you wear blue when you visit :) henry

henry, what is about you that leaves you unable to stop yourself from coming on here with your nonsensical pointless jibberish? Seriously, what you got from this story was the need to question where these boys are from? And what would you know about Venice or Ghosttown? If ya knew anything at all you would know where Sean and Jon Kane come from. Ya dont. So spare us reading your pointless comments.
For the record those boys are the nicest kids you would ever want to meet.

Loonpt, your statement that only those who were injured were the ones who got hurt is disingenuous at best and disturbing at worst.
They were trying to break it up, would advocate they just let it get worse?
Yeah Kim In LA, nice kids stab and beat people all the time. Maybe in LA, not here. If that's the environment you want, stay in LA.

And no one is forced to write on these blogs either.
Nice kids are sometimes put in a position where they have to defend themselves. If that means stabbing someone, so be it. Thats called self defense. Again these are two of the nicest kids you will ever have the privilege of knowing.
God help anyone you might end up as a juror for.
