Watch Moment LA Business Owner Realizes Voting for Dems Has Destroyed His Livelihood
Daily Fetched ^ | Jason Walsh December 8, 2023

Posted on 12/15/2023 6:27:15 AM PST by Red Badger

The owner of a Los Angeles-based construction and electrical company had a reality check after realizing that voting for Democrats had destroyed his business.

Ryan Baggaley, the owner of Delta Construction and Electric Co., said a group of at least ten thieves broke into his business on Wednesday morning and blasted L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and President Joe Biden for failing to protect his business.

“This whole strip has been broken into, our neighbors have been broken into four times, these guys just got broken into two months ago,” Baggaley said.

“What are we supposed to do? We’re a small construction company.”

The L.A. business owner blasted the Democrats he voted for, as his once safe neighborhood is now plagued with robberies.

“I voted for Karen Bass. I voted for Biden. I voted for Gavin Newsom,” he said.

“I’m sick of it,” Baggaley said.

“At some point you have to give me a reason to vote for you again.”

“We just do our jobs, make a living, help our employees make a good living, and move on, but it’s really freaking difficult to survive,” Baggaley added.

Surveillance footage captured between 10 and 15 thieves breaking through the gates in a car before entering the Delta Construction and Electric Co. building and taking goods.

Baggaley told Fox 11 that the thieves used the Kia Soul to break through his company’s gate, which was stolen from an LAPD impound yard.

Baggaley said that among items stolen by the thieves were music equipment, and estimated they tole and damaged thousands of dollars worth of equipment.

The business owner said his Ring system notified him of the break-in, and he rushed to his business and called the police.

However, he said officers didn’t respond to the burglary for two hours.

“They’re saying, ‘We don’t have anyone in the area,'” he told KTLA 5.

“We’re like, ‘Now it’s been 15 minutes, then it’s 20 minutes, and they’re still not here.’ It just kept going, and they didn’t respond for two hours.”

Earlier this year, Los Angeles launched a task force to tackle retail theft and robberies.

“These are not victimless crimes,” said Bass, adding that the task force will “aggressively investigate” these incidents and hold such perpetrators “fully accountable.”

One possibility ... ask the Korean shop owners about how to protect one’s business during a crime wave ...

That is actually at the core of a lot of it—people being insulated/protected from the consequences of their actions. Think Hunter Biden writ small in this particular case.

Well, that’s interesting. The car was stolen not from some little old lady, but from the police. So either the LAPD is incompetent or these thieves are totally without fear.

“When will they ever learn?”

They don’t, the ones that can have already fled to the greener pastures of Red states

The fear is they will continue to vote left and eventually turn those states into liberal crapholes like where ever they came from.

Interestingly, Seattleites eventually did learn. This fall, virtually every liberal democrat pro-law-and-order candidate for City Council beat every pro-criminal democratic socialist leftist. Amazing. It only took 30 years.

Will Seattle become a law-and-order town after this election?

But if he wants to run a business, he needs to GTFO of CA

He probably will because liberals tend to leave the places they destroy.

If this country ever split into red and blue regions most liberals would rush into the red zones to escape the dysfunctional and heavily taxed blue zones. They like utopian policies and love virtue signaling, but they don’t like personal sacrifice or the cost of their own ideals.

'I voted for Karen Bass. I voted for Biden. I voted for Gavin Newsom,' he said.

Probably voted for criminal-loving DA George Gascon as well - you can thank him for "no cash bail" and his love of releasing vicious, violent criminals back onto the streets ASAP to "clear out the jails."

All this idiot had to do is look around Los Angeles and its suburbs at the vast number of businesses that have closed over the past couple of years to see the result of Gascon, Bass and Newsom's policies.

I worked around lots of them. They have a unique way of blocking out any thoughts of consequences. They are unpersuaded by facts, logic or the lessons of history.

It will come to vetting before hiring. I would never hire anyone who voted for any of the candidates he mentions. Anyone who votes for democrats going forward is stupid or evil.

““At some point you have to give me a reason to vote for you again.””

Because “we do not send mean tweets” isn’t enough reason?

The Koreans did it right. But those were different times. California DAs were more sensible, and more conservative. Try it today, and I suspect that the full power of the state will be used against you.

If you had kept your insurance premiums up to date, we would have made sure that you would have recovered your losses and those responsible would have suffered the consequences of their wrongdoing.
