The state of California was once incredibly beautiful and a place that so many of us, including myself would have loved to have seen.
However, after years of failed liberal policies, the once amazing state has now been reduced to a cesspool of vagrants and crime.
What makes it worse is that in our post-COVID and George Floyd world, the city of Los Angeles has taken an incredibly hard hit.
Crime in the “city of angels” has increased an 18 percent in robberies and a 44 percent increase in armed robberies over 2021’s numbers — an alarming trend by any measure, especially when you consider those armed robberies are up 57 percent from 2020 and 60 percent from 2019.
So, how is the LAPD handling the crime wave?
Well, they are suggesting that to the good citizens of Las Angeles?
Well, do not wear expensive jewelry when you are out and about.
That sounds like liberal logic to me, right?
Here is more from Western Journal:
Woke Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón continues to take a soft-on-crime approach.
Whether or not law enforcement in Los Angeles remains soft-on-crime remains to be seen, although I wouldn’t hold my breath for any positive developments. In the meantime, they’re trying to remove the target — which means getting people to remove their jewelry.
“Over the last year there has been a marked increase of armed robberies involving victims wearing expensive jewelry while in public,” the LAPD said in a news release on March 22. “If it is visible, it can be a target.”
Other reminders from the department followed the usual advice police give citizens: Travel in groups, remain in well-lit areas, be aware of your surroundings, always surrender jewelry if someone robs you at gunpoint, etc.
And then there was this: “After shopping, make it a habit to take a different route home and pay attention to vehicles and pedestrians behind you. If you think you are being followed, change your route and call the police.”
Yes, it’s come to this. When you’re on the way home from a high-end shopping trip from The Grove, always make sure to take a different route just in case you’re being followed. Try to plot a zig-zag pattern on city streets using Waze, if at all possible. What’s next? Travel in a motorcade if you can? Make sure your car has at least two inches of armor plating?
According to KTTV, Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said his message was for residents is to be “vigilant.”
“What we’re asking the public to do with these crime increases is if they’re going to wear expensive jewelry or drive high-end cars, when leaving restaurants, taverns and other locations, they need to be mindful of their surroundings, and be in well lit areas,” Moore said at a meeting of the Los Angeles Police Commission last week.
“[We ask that] they recognize there are opportunists that are willing to take advantage of them and many times, these individuals are armed with firearms.”
As for solutions, Moore said the department was “tracking the increase in armed robberies, including looking at various suspect and vehicle descriptions of those responsible.” There’s a task force dealing with the robberies and additional detectives allocated to investigate them.
So, there you have it, folks.
The city has not made any arrests and why would that matter anyway?
They release the criminals back out onto the streets and no one is ever held accountable.
Instead, everyone in the city needs to trade in their cars for a 1970 Ford Pinto and wear clothes from the Goodwill in order to not be violently robbed.
I am sure that will stop the criminal behavior, right?
