Owner of LA bakery targeted by mob of 100 looters angered at rampant street takeovers: ‘Nobody gets punished for anything’

The owner of the California bakery ransacked last week by a mob of more than 100 looters is heartbroken for his family’s business and angered that nobody has been punished as he slammed rising crime in the state.

Ruben’s Bakery & Mexican Food in Compton was the target of a mass smash-and-grab when looters used a Kia to drive into the storefront during an illegal street takeover on Jan. 2.

Reuben Ramirez Jr. says his parents opened their store nearly 50 ago after immigrating to the country and was heartbroken to see their work become a victim of crime.

“At first, like anybody, we were angry then we were sad,” Ramirez Jr. told Fox News. “The worst was seeing my parents who built something for over 48 years, to almost lose it because of this violence that is going on right now.”

“These street takeovers in Compton have been getting worse and worse.”

I can’t believe I never understood this before. I thought (probably because I grew up Catholic) that people innately knew what was right and wrong. Isn’t there a Bible verse about that God’s law is written in our hearts?

Why would the mob of 100 looters be angry about the takeover, and then target the bakery?!

Until a few years ago, I had a store in Long Beach - just a few miles from Compton. One day a group of 'gang banger' types came in - with security officers discretely behind them.

One of them was looking at a glass case filled with miniature buildings, - some of them well-known - St. Paul's Cathedral; The White House etc. I asked him if he recognized any. He replied "You got The Compton Courthouse in there? " How sad.....

Wonder if Serena Williams has done anything to help her hometown?

Good for her if she has.

I know and understand, but anybody who votes Democrat deserves the lawlessness. How else do they learn their lesson if they do not experience their consequences?

”Nobody gets punished for anything.”

Wanna see somebody punished by the state? Put hands on any of the looters.

Does anyone think this will stop with the addition of police?
The only think that will put an end to this is if citizens put a stop to it.
As many of them are armed, and many with “switched” autos, the only solution is superior firepower. Clean out one of these “takeovers”. I doubt there’ll be another.

I think that people ought to fight back so those who use KIAs for their crimes should be found “KIA” - and left to rot so the stink serves as a deterrent to others.

Exactly! Judging by the location of his business, he voted to be looted.

After watching the video from within the store I have an idea, how about store cameras connected to machine gun equipment that can aim and shoot dead some of these followers of Satan!..... just a thought, but a simple way to put an end to it!

Well, against that there's Proverbs 13.24.

LA deserves everything it gets. Between the aggrieved minorities and the WOKE liberals they made a bed of shite and they can roll around in it. If only they had to stay in LA and not move to Texas and Arizona.

How about taking a shotgun to the radiator of every car that participates in a street takeover? Not to people, but to the instrumentalities of their crime?

The shot guns should be applied to the thieves not to cars.

Black death in adequate numbers will curtail Black criminality

So Blacks attack the Mexican owned bakery, loot it and destroy it which was obviously a racial attack, and the city is muted on how bad the race wars a Blacks attacking all other races has ruined most of the inner cities. Did I miss anything? Oh, the city leaders who are Black will say that this was in response to systemic racism over the years. Our society is collapsing through “progressive Leftism. Even now the Leftists march in the streets in support of Hamas/Qassam/ Al Qud terrorists who raped, murdered and burned alive Jewish people in Southern Israel. Leftism is the greatest threat to American Democracy.
