It’s an open secret to everyone that liberal democrats’ agenda is anti-poor, anti-peace, and everything opposite to what’s normal. Name it they have done some unspeakable things in the name of power.
And now everything we’ve been saying about these Democrats is proven to be correct as Los Angeles Police Department detective Jamie McBride said he advises visitors not to come to the city because he considers it unsafe.
In an interview with Fox News, McBride blamed Gov. Gavin Newsom for rising crime rates in California and accused progressive district attorneys of “advocating for the criminals.”
McBride said in an interview with Fox News on Monday:
“We’re telling people don’t visit because we don’t think we can keep you safe right now. Los Angeles is like the movie Purge, but instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, they have 365 days.”
He said the “zero bail” policy and Proposition 47, which reduced sentencing for various nonviolent crimes, have led to an increase in crime.
Newsom recently criticized the state’s cities for their lenient policies on retail theft, saying authorities should enforce the law against thieves.
Newsom said:
“Police need to arrest them. Prosecutors need to prosecute them. Judges need to hold people accountable for breaking the law. These are not victimless crimes, and I have no empathy for these criminal elements.”
Crime, including “smash-and-grab” robberies, he said, has increased in the wake of a “zero bail” policy and the state’s Proposition 47, which reduced shoplifting theft of $950 or less from a felony to a misdemeanor.
According to The Los Angeles Times report:
Violent crime rates have been rising in the city for two years while property crimes have changed modestly. Car thefts are up nearly 53% and homicides are up 46.7% from 2019.
The crime wave has affected “the safest, wealthiest neighborhoods” in the L.A. area, with violent crime in Beverly Hills rising 23% in the last two years.
To add another brutal incident to rising statistics, philanthropist Jacqueline Avant was killed in her Beverly Hills home last Wednesday. Oprah Winfrey mourned her death on Twitter saying:
“The fact that this has happened, her being shot and killed in her own home … has shaken the laws of the Universe.”
Business owners never felt this unsafe in the past two years, the owner of a local skateboard shop, Dominick DeLuca said that he has “never seen anything like it,” saying his shop has been broken into three times.
Fox News reported on Monday that the head of the union that represents nearly 1,000 prosecutors in Los Angeles County accused District Attorney George Gascon of remaining silent during the surge in burglaries and robberies, which have become increasingly violent.

Eric Siddall, vice president of the Association of Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys, said Gascón cares more about the rights of criminal suspects than crime victims.
Gascón, in his inaugural speech in December 2020, vowed to reverse crime policies he regarded as too harsh. Among his controversial moves was his announcement last month that he would release a convicted murderer who had served only six years of his 50-year sentence. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has charged that some of Gascón’s policies have emboldened criminals.
Last Thursday, L.A. Police Department Chief Michel Moore and Mayor Eric Garcetti criticized policies allowing nonviolent arrestees to be released without bail.
Gov. Newsom is blaming his state’s big cities for the crime wave, charging they are not enforcing the law against thieves.
“Police need to arrest them. Prosecutors need to prosecute them. Judges need to hold people accountable for breaking the law,” Newsom said. “These are not victimless crimes, and I have no empathy for these criminal elements.”
Meanwhile, Democratic political leaders in California have remained silent on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s denial of the existence of the “smash-and-grab” crime surge, in an interview with the Washington Times.
“We have to talk about specifics because, for example, we’re actually seeing a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out,” the congresswoman said. “I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up.”
