This video discusses a violent incident that occurred at a Target store in Simi Valley, where a man randomly attacked and choked a woman. Key points include:
The Incident: On Wednesday evening, a man—later identified as Raian Taber—entered the store and began choking a woman at the checkout counter (0:20-0:35). He subsequently attacked a 16-year-old boy in the produce section (3:44-3:55). Good Samaritans: Several shoppers, including a father named Andy Garvey, intervened to stop the attacker and protect others until law enforcement arrived to arrest him (0:47-1:02, 3:10-4:05). Suspect Background: Reports indicate Taber had been released from custody just two days prior to the attack, following a March arrest for indecent exposure and assaulting an officer (2:19-2:22, 4:11-4:18). Commentary: The creator expresses strong criticism of current criminal justice policies in the Los Angeles area, specifically "catch and release" practices, and emphasizes the importance of situational awareness and self-defense (1:22-1:32, 4:37-5:12, 7:04-7:15).

Another PoC demonstrating impulse control in public.
CaCaLand, there is no crime unless you are of the wrong skin color.
Also, they were all in Target — Pi$$ on ‘em, they made a bad moral choice and need to suffer.
I'd bet that the absence of sane, sober, moral, and prudent people (hat tip to John Correia of Active Self Protection) in stores such as Target has increased their popularity as hunting grounds for predators such as this guy. He knew his targets (women) and knew the store (Target).
Impuse control not having an extra scoop of ice-cream. Th8s was someone who’s nuts.
The police exist largely to make sure that criminals like this are safe from the righteous anger of law-abiding citizens. If regular people did what needs to be done, society wouldn’t suffer from these animals.
“Suspect Background: Reports indicate Taber had been released from custody just two days prior to the attack, following a March arrest for indecent exposure and assaulting an officer (2:19-2:22, 4:11-4:18).” I wonder if he had his pants down?
These feral animals need to be put down on the spot.
????
I wholeheartedly agree with this point of view.
Western governments overthrew thousands of years of practice to become extremely lenient toward criminals in the late 20th Century, and this stupidity has continued into the 21st. I'm for a complete reversal of these lenient policies. Let's get back to very swift punishment for crime up to and including execution where warranted.
These continual racist attacks are giving me Fatigue. I know he’s angry because he doesn’t have a real name; but, that’s no excuse.
‘These continual racist attacks are giving me Fatigue’
Same here.
Whatever relationship I once had with Target is now dead and gone.
That little girl standing there never moved. Who was responsible for her???
Reason 84 why I CC.
...and we wouldn't need police, prosecutors, judges, or prisons.
