The suspect accused of driving his car through a crowd of people in Los Angeles is a convicted felon who was out on parole, reports said.
Fernando Ramirez, 29, of San Clemente, is expected to face a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon following early Saturday’s incident, which left 36 injured outside the Vermont Hollywood nightclub.
Ramirez was convicted of felony battery and sentenced in 2020 for attacking a man outside a Whole Foods grocery store in June 2019, KNBC reported Sunday. He was on parole at the time of Saturday's crash, but it's unclear whether it was in connection with the 2019 attack or another case.
Ramirez has had at least 11 criminal cases ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, KNBC reported. In January 2022, he was charged with felony domestic battery and entered a not guilty plea. That case remains open and he also has a pending DUI case, the station added, citing the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
Los Angeles Police Department Public Information Officer Jeff Lee previously told reporters that the Nissan Versa "became disabled" when the driver plowed into the crowd. Subsequently, the driver was allegedly "pulled out of his vehicle, physically assaulted by the bystanders. And during that altercation, somebody produced a firearm and shot the driver."
As of Monday morning, police were still searching for the suspected shooter, described as a man with a goatee in a blue Dodgers jacket.

It might be instructive to recall that California Governor Gavin Newsom has closed four state prisons since taking office and has proposed closing a fifth by next year.
And, as an aside, might Mamdani (who apparently consider prisons obsolete) be considered a Newsom protégé?
Judiciary is the enemy of the American people.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
We will see just how dangerous the Judiciary really is when the majority of seats on the Supreme Court are occupied for life by Justices who, like that imbecile Ketanji Brown Jackson, interpret the Constitution however they damn well please! Marxist-Democrats will eventually ensure that happens if America’s electorate is ever stupid enough to give them control of the White House or the Congress ever again. Take it to the bank!

Perp was shot in the buttocks by someone in the angry crowd.
I guess CA thought he changed into a good citizen and would never commit a crime again.
Was he a legal?
Liability for judges? You don’t need that if they’re practicing actual jurisprudence like they’re supposed to.
