L.A. Mayor Bass: Lack of Consequences for Crime Isn’t Causing Retail Theft, ‘Things Like This Happen’ if There’s Profit
Breitbart ^ | 08/26/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 08/26/2023 11:34:14 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of “The Issue Is,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated that the issue of retail theft in the city has “nothing to do” with a lack of consequences for crime in the city and “things like this happen” when there are profits.

Bass said, “Well, you know what, things like this happen when there [are] profits to be made, and law enforcement put the task force together that I’m supportive of, and it has a number of different agencies, the city attorney, the district attorney, etc., all at the table. And I will tell you that, just the other day, they made eleven arrests. And so, these are crimes that are significants. They are felonies. They are not misdemeanors. And one of the things that we need to look at though, rest assured, they are not selling $10,000 purses in poor communities. They’re selling those purses online. They’re selling those stolen goods online. And so, I believe, when you have a crime like that, all of the actors are culpable and need to be dealt with. And so, we need to look at the online sales of stolen property, because that’s what it is.”

Perhaps the dumbest statement I've ever heard a politician make. Here's an idea: Make a statement that says any theft will automatically result in a minimum of 6 months in jail and a $10,000 fine. Then compare pre- and post-statement theft rates.

She’s right though. People steal because the low overhead makes it easy to make those profits. I mean, just look at how rich all the politicians get from doing nothing but making promises and excuses.

Just when you think the demonrats have dredged up the dumbest idiots anywhere (Xiden, pelousy, schmucky, lurch, obozo etc.) they manage to find others like this imbecile that are even dumber.

However, they think voters are, which is worse.

Then she can’t understand for the life of her why “her” areas like “South Central” LA are food deserts - all the grocery stores have abandoned the area.

What’s left are check cashing places, hair weave and fake nail supplies and a few friend chicken joints.

That and vote fraud is absolutely rampant in California.

Question it and be called a conspiracy theorist, terrorist, no-nothing or racist, most likely all four.

The best way to stop theft is to put thieves in jail.

Why? Because when they are in jail they are not stealing stuff!

About the only thing that would “fix” L.A. would be an earthquake of catastrophic proportions. A few days after any diehard conservatives have left the area on vacation.
