"Yeah, I'd expect they'd have their risk assessment/management figured out in those regards. Saturate the soft targets, bypass the tough ones, break contact if they hit considerable resistance."

I don't think they're smart enough for such in middle-class neighborhoods. They could have good intel on who has valuables in home from cleaning persons and repair contractors, etc, but not who is willing to kill them. Again, I'm not opposed to them trying. Let's see who actually has the cojones to try and those who will actually defend their homes/neighborhood. I and the wife have our defense plan.

Just move to red cities in deep red states and be done with it. Follow Elon Musk the heck out of California.


They’re moving to TX, in droves. :-(

Many will continue to vote for the carpola that got LA into the fine mess it is in.

“These people are getting exactly what they voted for.”

When you phrase it like that it’s a fallacy of composition. There are many Californians, including some on this very thread (not to mention the owner of the forum) who didn’t vote that way.

Plan well. The natural progression is that sophistication of strategies and tactics grow and refine over time. Only way that gets disrupted is if the government idiots reverse the destructive course they've enabled and do it before it becomes an unmovable culture.

Next thing you know, this crime wave will reach areas of Santa Barbara, maybe even the suburbs such as Montecito.
Montecito, Ca. is where many of the very rich celebrities live; people such as Oprah, Rob Lowe, Ariana Grande and Ellen DeGenneres. Is nobody safe? //

We live in North Dallas but we have a small condo in Orange CA and I go out about once a month to ride my motorcycle and for memories of growing up there.

For the first time ever a few weeks ago, sitting at a traffic light on Chapman just east of the 57, near Anaheim Stadium, a homeless meth zombie started yelling at me then proceeded to charge towards me across the intersection. I was able to get maneuver and ride off.....I have never seen anything like it. It’s a third world hell hole. I am probably going to sell the condo. It’s no fun anymore. It’s dangerous. I can’t imagine being a single woman out there. I can’t imagine that.

I feel very badly for the good, decent people living in California. They did not vote for this but they are suffering for the sins of others.

Here is a link to a crime map for the Atlanta metro area. The City of Atlanta is the worst, of course, but formerly safe areas like Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Norcross are being hit with crime sprees. Carjackings or attempted carjackings at gas stations in Gwinnett are commonplace.

I cannot believe the change in crime rates for Marietta and Kennesaw in the past twenty years. When Kennesaw Mountain made the requirement for citizens to be armed the crime rate there was zilch. I helped JoAnne Woodward film the advertisement for the city of Marietta around 1992 and the area was pretty safe.

Well, are they not the ones supporting those calling to eliminate or drastically reduce the funding of the police?

Indeed. Attack and defund the police. Then put in place policies where punishment is basically a revolving door for criminals. Violent criminals. We saw it in Wisconsin last week. And now it has come to Beverly Hills. And then they feign surprise at what their policies have wrought.

...much of it has been concentrated in poor communities.

Poor?

Code word for???


Thugs finally figured out you can steal better stuff in rich communities for the same amount of effort.

Too bad your friend didn’t have a pellet gun to pop that bum in the butt.

If people would start popping these bums, this nonsense would come to a screeching halt.

Like Mike Tyson would say, everyone has a plan until punched in the face.

All these grand socialist plans.... and bingo, reality hits
