Down and Out In Beverly Hills
Flopping Aces ^ | 01-02-22 | Larry Brandes

Posted on 01/02/2022 9:12:43 AM PST by Starman417

Apparently, it is open season in California for looting, armed robbery and burglaries which have now spread to Beverly Hills.  Imagine that. In 2014 a ballot initiative was passed allowing the theft of up to $950 before the crime counts as a felony.  Forrest Gump would say, "I'm not a smart man but that law seems really stupid."

One woman, a writer in the entertainment industry who declined to be identified, said that "gang members and criminals are taking over Beverly Hills because Gascon isn't prosecuting them.  He's saying, "Hey go out and rob someone for $900 worth.  Get arrested, go back on the street."

Criminals aren't exactly candidates for Mensa membership but they did interpret that moronic law as a license to steal and the $950 ceiling as a GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card.  Rich folks driving $160,000 Bentley Bentayga Hybrids, shopping at Cartiers and flaunting 3 carat sparkly Princess diamonds are the new prey. Those are probably the same entitled aristocrats who laughed at the poor peasants in Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Minneapolis and Kenosha getting mugged, robbed and carjacked at gunpoint.  Members of the We Got More $$$ Than You Club, once felt secure in their gated mansions protected by vicious Dobermans, armed security guards and moats filled with alligators. Those idyllic days are over.  They now live in fear that security is just an illusion and hordes of dangerous, knuckle dragging, violent barbarians are seeking a  redistribution of wealth at gunpoint or with a Louisville Slugger bat.

DEFINITION OF A NEW CONSERVATIVE:  Any liberal who has been mugged, robbed or carjacked at gunpoint!

Suddenly, buying guns and plenty of ammo is the 'in thing,' and many newly minted 'conservatives' are rushing to apply for permits to carry a concealed weapon.

Beverly Hills Guns, a non-descript firearms store tucked away in an office building, has been seeing a daily stream of anxious business owners, and prominent actors...seeking protection from the sudden uptick in crime.  Russell Stuart, the owner of Beverly Hills Guns said, "This morning I sold six shotguns in about an hour to people that say, 'I want a home defense shotgun.' Everyone has a general sense of constant fear.

Scared liberals, unfamiliarity with weapons of any type and itchy trigger fingers-what could possibly go wrong? Compounding the issue is he fact that the mantra Thin Blue Line  is apparently lost on most of the country. California and other blue states have defunded and vilified the police-the same police who protect the weak against savage criminals-many times at the cost of their lives. We pay police crap wages, kick them out of restaurants, vilify them in the media and then prosecute them vigorously when their performance in a sudden life or death situation is less than stellar.  Then we all roll our eyes and act surprised when the brave men and women in blue turn in their shields and seek employment elsewhere.

However, Beverly Hills is not the only city waking up to the fact that anarchy is lurking at the gates and the criminals are emboldened, armed and extremely dangerous.

Next comes the accidental discharges and shootings.

Liberals are dangerous with guns. They didn’t grow up with them in the household.

Robbing someone at gunpoint can’t come with a Get Out of Jail card. The threat of violence autimstically brings with it a felony charge. The offenders in question avoid felony charges by committing (ostensibly) non-violent shoplifting and stealing in phases.

Alec Baldwin should've seen and heeded this advice.

It can and does every day in LA. Their sadistic DA simply does not charge them with a felony and they walk.

I have an actor buddy (whom many here probably know of) who lives in Beverly Hills, and next door to Lily Tomlin. He’s also another Hollywood closet conservative as well as a world class hunter. He also likes his 3pm scotch, after which, he’ll often shoot squirrels in the back yard from his bedroom on the second floor. I have zero doubt that, given his bad drinking habit, he’ll take some riff raff out if they beach his neighborhood. He won’t tolerate that - sober.

All of these shitlib noob gun owners should immediately enroll in the nearest franchise of the Alec Baldwin Firearms Handling, Substance Abuse and Anger Management Academy.

That’s revolting and can only lead to societal breakdown.

That is precisely the point. Create absolute chaos everywhere and then a small minority can seize power.

Anyone else see this headline and come in here expecting to discuss Nick Nolte in bed with Bette Midler?

In most cases, merely racking a 12 gauge will stop most in thier tracks

Intellectual deterioration, moral degradation, effeminization, all of these society-killing factors, and others, are snowballing, compounding, month by month.

This business will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.

The rich are discovering that it’s worthless to have armed guards, if the guards are unwilling to actually shoot bad guys(and risk homicide prosecution) and the criminals know it.
