The California Crime Wave

Michael Reagan on Dec 9, 2021

Also, everyone knows these well-coordinated mobs of smash-and-grabbers are not stealing baby food.

They’re not poor kids. They’re sophisticated punks who’ve figured out how to steal $500 purses and terrorize people – and "woke" politicians and subversive district attorneys are letting them get away with it.

You don’t see these gangs operating in Florida. They’re a home-grown product of California and its irresponsible politicians like Gov. Newsom and DA Gascón.

Thanks to them, we have a lot of ordinary Californians who are afraid if they go to a mall or sit down outside at a restaurant a bunch of thugs will show up and rob or terrorize them.

Everyone in Los Angeles now knows by now that the city’s shrinking police force and upside-down justice system can no longer do the basic job of protecting them from California’s Crime Wave.

Which is probably why one sensible public servant, Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva, has been working extra hard to expand his department’s ability to issue concealed weapons permits.
