Like many areas in the United States, some areas of Los Angeles are experiencing severe increases in crime rates, especially assaults and robberies. In these “stalking crimes,” criminals have targeted high-end restaurants, nightclubs, expensive shops, and jewelry stores.
Then they will choose certain customers, especially women, such as wearing jewelry and expensive clothes. They followed them to the parking lot or their home, waited until the victim appeared alone and left unattended, and then continued to threaten and rob them.
Naturally, the Los Angeles Police Department took action. Do not stake out areas to find waiting trackers. Do not pour highly visible extra units into the target area. No well-prepared bait personnel were dispatched.
No, the robbery problem has become so serious that the Los Angeles Police Department issued a public memorandum, yes, sending a “cooperate and comply” message to law-abiding citizens. In addition to other crime-fighting techniques, it also recommends:
If you are robbed, don’t fight against the suspect; cooperate and comply with their requirements.
Our colleague Mike Miller owns all The disappointing details are hereFor example, the police’s recommendations include: “After the robbery occurs, please call 911 immediately to contact the police station. “
In the past few years, law enforcement agencies across the country have been attacked, and it may be a little hesitant to appear powerful. There is no doubt that it is obviously a good thing for the police to provide such advice to the frightened citizens, but if it is not sufficient and quite obvious: “After the robbery, call 911 immediately to contact the police station.”
But this is a rather passive strategy to deal with a wave of serious crimes. It is impossible to prevent the growth and spread of crime waves. This-hello, White House-will definitely affect next year’s midterm elections, which are now only 51 weeks away.
This is also a “strategy” that spreads outside of California. Many of Biden’s measures are reversed, without common sense. However, no one blows the whistle.For example, he thinks injecting more new printed money into the economy Will cure inflation.
Although he accepted that illegal activities are “oh my god, look at that” facts of life, and did not take any effective measures to stop it.
Since Biden took office and appointed Kamala Harris to address the root causes of the southern border crisis, hundreds of thousands of illegal foreigners have poured into the country without restraint or censorship.
On the contrary, the Biden administration quietly transported these foreign lawbreakers to scattered cities across the country, allegedly to track them down for later disposal. If you believe this will happen, I have a bridge that I can sell to you in New Laredo.
Now there is news that the Biden crowd is “negotiating” with thousands of these unincorporated persons to pay compensation for each of them. Over 450,000 USD, Provided more than $1 million to some families for allegedly bad treatment at the border.
Therefore, ignoring our national boundaries, violating immigration laws, evading health checks and mask regulations, we will “punish” you with the huge amount of cash from taxpayers.
Under Biden’s employer vaccine authorization, Americans who refuse to receive the COVID vaccine for any reason will lose their jobs and family income.
Earlier this fall, as another example, Joe Biden announced that he Cash bail will be terminated For people accused of violent crimes.
According to the president, this is a necessary condition for improving social justice. Why do people accused of violent crimes have to pay cash bail, while other citizens can move around freely without bail just because they are not accused of murder?
Under Biden’s leadership, many of these absurd actions are happening—for example, the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Afghanistan forward Evacuate thousands of Americans and endangered civilians-you have to doubt All these seemingly messed things up are coincidences.
During the epidemic, thousands of prisoners across the country were released early. Reason stated: Therefore they will not contract COVID-19 in prison. Despite the fact that they are equally likely to get sick outside the prison. And-oh look-total freedom allows some people to commit new crimes, and they should serve the time of previous crimes.
Early this month Joe Biden flies to the UN Climate Summit In Europe, among other things, boast Everything he did Reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. He flew there on a Boeing 747, with half of the cabinet members’ entourage, plus dozens of assistants, which required three other government jets.
There are also an unknown number of passenger and cargo planes that are used to transport Secret Service agents and convoys. In Rome, Biden’s fleet has 80 vehicles.
In California, the state government began to take action to address the environmental threat of small bottles of shampoo in hotel rooms. It’s all because of plastic. Local governments across the state, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, have given up shoplifting. They publicly announced that they will not prosecute theft of such goods with a value of less than $1,000.
As a result—hey, if anyone could have foreseen this—thefts of goods worth less than $1,000 have increased dramatically.So much so that Walgreens Announce Organized theft gangs closed shops.
Not long ago, when the theft alarm went off, I was in a pharmacy in the Los Angeles area. The manager — I call him Bob — ran out the front door. There, a young couple waited patiently. The man returned several items, including a sock and hat. The woman did not speak.
Going back inside, I asked Bob if this happens often? Several times a day. “To me, it seems organized,” he said. “This guy always has some little things. That girl may have hundreds of dollars in cosmetics on her.”
Who do you report this to? I asked.
Bob looked surprised. “No one! I must be very careful.”
careful? Why?
He said: “My boss doesn’t want me to trouble customers by scaring customers into shoplifting. No one will sue anyway.”
So let us make it clear. Two people stole something worth at least a few hundred dollars and then walked. They are free to put the stolen items on the street or give them a share of the gang leader.
If he tries to stop illegal activities or raises objections to the offender, the only person facing the consequences is the law-abiding store manager. The rest of us will make up for the loss caused by the price increase.
Too many things like this have disappeared The United States under Joe Biden’s presidency.
