Keep hearing of train burglaries in LA on the scanner so went to #LincolnHeights to see it all. And… there’s looted packages as far as the eye can see. Amazon packages, @UPS boxes, unused Covid tests, fishing lures, epi pens. Cargo containers left busted open on trains. @CBSLA
Here’s a Vlad the Impaler story.
A traveling merchant once visited Vlad’s capital. He had with him a chest of gold coins. While he was sleeping at an inn, someone broke into his room and stole the chest. Vlad was informed of this. The thief was quickly caught, and the chest was returned to the merchant.
The merchant was invited to join Vlad and witness the thief’s execution. As was normal, the thief was to be executed by being impaled on a spike.
As the thief was dying on the spike, this conversation took place:
Vlad: Merchant, please count the number of coins in your chest. I will make good any loss.
Merchant: I have already done that, sir. All my coins are there, plus one more. By the way, I see two spikes there. Will there be another execution today?
Vlad: Had you not reported that extra coin, the second spike was for you.
America’s planned descent into a third world hellhole. Key word here is planned.
In one reported incident, the armed gang held the switch yard man at gunpoint until the target train went down the desired track.
Then they let him throw the switch.
Aren’t Democrat one-party cities really wonderful????
The railroad has their own cops. I suppose they spend all their time patrolling in the boonies where not much happens.
The problem is not a lack of law enforcement. The problem is that LE is ordered to protect Democrats.
You can be certain that if vigilantes started blowing away looters, that there would be a HUGE effort to track down and execute the vigilantes.
Funny that you should mention $200 boots.
I just looked this morning at a listing for Chippewa Logger boots on FB.
I see them on there all the time.
Great story. We need a Deep State Impaler.
I love that movie.
California needs to be excluded as an entry point for goods as well as a distribution point. They had already caused enough trouble with their Prop 65 BS. If they want to be a lawless hell-hole that’s their decision. But they need to be shunned by the rest of the country instead of setting the standards for the rest of us.
