Singer-songwriter Meredith Brooks is calling out Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for the city’s permissive attitude toward crime, saying that it has forced her friends to buy guns to protect themselves and has caused residents to flee the city.
Her criticism comes as L.A. is still reeling from the widespread looting stemming from violent rioting during the past week. The city’s tense situation was made worse by Mayor Garcetti’s plan to slash the LAPD budget by as much as $150 million. The mayor also called LAPD officers “killers” at a recent meeting with local black leaders.
Meredith Brooks said in a tweet on Saturday that her artist friends living in the Hollywood Hills have had to buy guns to protect themselves from burglars.

If they don’t surrender them to persons of color then they are racists and deserve to be assaulted in their homes and on the streets.
One positive about this mess is that gun control as an issue is DOA.

Is Meredith Brooke’s an important person?
No not very important but she is helping kill gun control
As soon as Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti gives up his security detail, maybe I will listen to him.
All the Hollywood hypocrite pukes are beefing up thier armed security
The woke are apparently getting woke.
“No one needs more than 10 (or 6, or 1) rounds in a gun. Why would anyone want a semiautomatic weapon of war? Just get grandpa’s old shotgun and fire a warning shot in the air.” Yes, at least more people now understand how feeble the usual gun control arguments are.
If what she says is true, I think that’s a good bellwhether for November.
The L.A. residents will still vote for another dem after this.
Dem’s can get kicked in the teeth twice a day and still ask for more after 4 years of it.
I can’t recall anyone saying dems are known for being smart.
“The mayor also called LAPD officers “killers”?
Gosh and I thought DeBlasio was terrible when it came to police support!
This Garcetti clown is a real show stopper.
L.A. cops should turn their collective backs on this punk and show their contempt for his sorry ass.
Gotta be alive to be woke, and the police aren’t coming to save you.
Your move Mr. Woke. (If you are new to guns, I would encourage you to procure a shot gun, 00 or 000 buckshot, bleach, paint and a shovel.)
Most of her artsy-fartsy friends probably voted for Garcetti and think Trump is to blame for their fears. They should stay where they are and not infect some place elsewhere.
She was nominated for a Grammy in 1997.
This is significant, though. Even Hollywood types now see the need for guns and strong law enforcement.
