criminals just doing what they did 'back home'

[BipolarBob]

California, here I leave
I am sad and I grieve
I have no choice but escape
the looting, murders and rape
clothes in the closet, food in the fridge
I'm ready to jump from the Golden Gate Bridge

A hundred thousand or more “homeless”; restaurant robbers making everybody hit the floor; plenty of massive planned hits on posh stores; “follow-home” robberies of nice houses.

It is all so unpredictable. You might even say “unexpected.”

[RetiredTexasVet]

It’s troubling when the elite are targeted.

[ealgeone]

Maybe they’ll learn.

White Supremacist Lives Don’t Matter.

[lodi90]

Agree. More signs here that we live in a post Constitutional and feudal society. Our daughters raped in school bathrooms? No biggie. Louis Vuitton robbed? Send in the special police task force.

[BrexitBen]

What sane individual remains in that crumbling nightmare ?

[coloradan]

This is exactly the wrong thing to do. Invite them in, show them all your valuables, ask them if they want to rape you (and lie back and enjoy it if so) and give them your credit cards and PINs, and call a social worker.

This is California, after all. Self-defense, and even the police for that matter, are strictly for unenlightened knuckle-draggers.

"troubling when the elite are targeted"

The Left?

The Left does not yet know their time is coming. They will wonder why it is happening to them.

[Luke21]

That was the premise of the original Death Wish.

"But wait - we're on their side! We're the good people!"

"Shut up and fork it over. You're where the money is."

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I thought it was "just give them what they want".

The "warm place to put it" of someone important must have gotten robbed.

[aquila48]

I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning.

I hope they go and ransack the homes of all the Hollywood wokesters.

[realcleanguy]

In the inner Democrat run cities in California, robberies, smash and grab, looting and shoplifting is becoming a normal way of life.

[absalom01]

The majority of these capers are being carried out by the denizens of Compton and Palmdale. For sure there are some Surenos involved, but the brothers are the ones putting in most of the work.

[Arcadian Empire]

Hi there, Woke Celebrities, welcome to Hell.

Tweeting from your mansions isn’t much fun anymore is it.

[old curmudgeon]

Don’t be so smug.

This is headed your way and my way. If you have not noticed, crime begins far away and very shortly spreads to your home town.

Gangs and dope dealers example #1 of how crime spreads.
