“...all share common trait”

Article doesn’t say what that is. I’m not looking for opinions on what that is. I’m looking for the article to state what they claimed. Is it in there?

[gundog]

...and a gold window punch...

A true craftsman likes to have nice tools.

[Mariner]

None of them resides in Palisades.

[katana]

Time to revive the one practice which has been proven effective in these situations.

"Looters will be shot"

Have to mean it and do it. Bring in Koreans if you have to. The rest will fall into place.

[Jonty30]

Khahliel tells me a lot.

[Sicon]

Well, the article says that none of them lived in the area they were burglarizing. I guess that must be the thing they all have in common. Well, that, and just generally looking like lowlife criminals.

"Some suspects were pulled over in vehicles displaying fake license plates"

Wow! That fake license plate is so convincing! I can't believe they got caught!

[Beowulf9]

You didn’t read what I said. “Article doesn’t say what that is. I’m not looking for opinions on what that is”.

I can figure that out for myself but the article does not answer it’s own claim.

THAT is what I’m looking for.

No word in article about the “common trait” claimed in the headline.

More fake news I guess.

From the article, the common trait:

”Remarkably, none of those arrested were actually living in the evacuation zone …”

[monkeyshine]

I think the common trait is that they all come in from different parts of town. Not that that’s so surprising. I wouldn’t expect people who live in the Palisades to try to burgle and loot their own neighbors. They are either homeless people or they are opportunists from different parts of town.

[HIDEK6]

“Remarkably!”

[oldasrocks]

I would guess that english is not their native language.

A true craftsman likes to have nice tools.

In a former life many years ago, I used to build prototype electronic equipment. This tool was used to make a punch mark so a regular drill bit could gain traction to make a hole to mount front panel controls. Sorry to see this repurposed as a burglary tool.

[SpaceBar]

Not one honky in the bunch.

[Fresh Wind]

Newcomers? I’d bet at least 75% are.

[GOPJ]

"Looters will be shot" Have to mean it and do it. Bring in Koreans if you have to. The rest will fall into place.

Koreans protected their businesses from the violent evil ones in Watts... And here we are decades later still remembering their bravery.

I've never seen statistical data on what happened in all the years following, but I suspect Korean neighborhoods since that time have been avoided by the worst types of our citizens. Just a guess.

(That said giving police back power and resepct is a better option than forcing citizens to protect their own homes and businesses. In Florida DeSanris and his sheriff's have told citizens we have the right to defend our homes and our lives - and if a mob is surrounding our car - and we're afraid for our lives - to 'just keep driving'. We don't have any rioters here blocking our roads.

[Sequoyah101]

Don’t tell me, let me guess. Illegals?

[HIDEK6]

Good guess!

[SMARTY]

All Amish?
