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.”

The Koreans did it right in '92.

The mob was not Black

Looked pretty diverse

[Nifster]

IF they were the only one to experience that then maybe. All of us pay the price

Not just who'd he vote for, but did his parents come here legally 50 years ago? Might sound terrible at first, but at this point probably 50% of more of the people in this country with Hispanic surnames are not supposed to be here.

Are the two questions linked? I think so. Opinions may vary.

Were they after the dough? /jk. 100 angered looters = BAD collective. Collective v individual.

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting. Sad story.

The mob was not Black..Looked pretty diverse

Yep, if by diversity, you mean Mexican and black..

[JBW1949]

I read in another thread on this same subject that the majority of the looters were Hispanic......

[Steven Tyler]

Was it an assault Kia?

Ruben’s Bakery & Mexican Food needs to pack up and move to Florida or Texas and leave the CA hellhole behind.

“...opened their store nearly 50 ago after immigrating...”

In other words, they came here as illegal aliens.

When you import the third world, you become the third world. /spit

You never know when one of them will revert back to the old smash-n-grab technique. They simply cannot be trusted.

‘Nobody gets punished for anything’

Sounds like he has a good case for not paying taxes, no police potection means no reason to pay taxes. Wouldn’t it be like MMMM stealing to pay for something and yet never receive it? 🤔

[TalBlack]

“Nobody gets punished for anything’“

Yeah? Fail to pay your taxes and see what happens.

[ViLaLuz]

The thugs heard there was a lot of dough there so they went to collect the bread.

There is. Humans know deep inside when they are doing something wrong and when We have failed to do what we ought.
Knowledge of the Law, however, does not prevent us from willfully disobeying it and coming up with excuses for that defiance. We know we defy the Law but our own ambitions egos mislead us into thinking God doesn’t exist or isn’t watching, doesn’t care. We can at least at first think up a million reasons why our sin is either excusable, or why we won’t be held accountable (because we like to believe we are “really good people.”)

Indeed some times there’s only one answer to handle things when no police are around.

The selected the right guns no missing.

Dot A — Your vote
Dot B — Crime

Connect the dots.

“...Nobody gets punished for anything’...”

So he’ll rebuild so they can do it all over again?

[Fiji Hill]

That’s not really an “LA bakery.” Compton is a separate city.
