This feels like history repeating itself.
And yet how much of LA's income is from Valley taxes? 85%? The city is sucking us dry.
Got a link for this?
Could the NRA ask for a more fitting slogan?
Hello, people!? This is exactly why we have the Second Amendment. Leaving the defense of your own life, the lives of your loved ones, as well as your property to the government is simply insane!
Well LA, you're on your own. I advise GUNS!!
So that's the sound I keep hearing out of my left ear. Ugh!!!
I've never been to LA or the Valley - but I guess I had always thought of the Valley has a white middle to upper middle class refuge from the rest of LA. Maybe I'm still stuck in a 80's mentality about that area.
Has the Valley deteriorated that badly?
What are the bad and good parts of the Valley?
Criminals go where the pickin's are easy. There ain't much to steal in metro any more. And the cops are too nasty in Torrance. So the Valley it is.
And the gangs are spreading their turf constantly. Glad I got the chance to move out of that cesspool, Calif does not believe you have the right to defend yourself.
Guns work good. Having one in my car enables me to drive through the bad part of town late at night and give a friendly wave to the drug dealers and pimps that stand in the middle of the street as I pass on through.
It used to be in the 80s. Now if you dont live south of Ventura Blvd, or north of the 118, you are in the free kill zone.
If cops can't be manufactured, then let's re-assign cops from other areas of law enforcement and beef up the robbery units. Maybe it's time to re-write various vice laws, giving up the prohibitions on adult vice and put in regulatory vice laws, like we do with alcohol. Then police officers from the drug and prostitution squads could be re-tasked to the robbery unit. It will never happen though, makes too much sense. ;-)
Once he gets them all in one place, he ought to just take 'em out. But, nooooooooooo... he wants to talk.
"We need to say, `OK, this is the problem; you´re creating death and violence in the community. We need to come to a solution,"´ Zine said.
How about going to the county supervisors and get private cops.
LOL, sounds like a college professor's solution, or what you'd write in a boring term paper just to say what the professor wants to hear. The reality is these thugs only understand violence, and that's the solution with people like that.

Last time I checked, this country still has the capability, if not the will, to manufacture additional jail cells. Now if we could just find the ability and the will to elect politicians who will pass laws and appoint judges to fill up the additional jail cells with violent offenders, we might be on the way to help solve the Chief's problem.
But heck, it's alot easier to blame the object (the gun), assist the career criminal in his abdication of personal responsibility, and continue to scratch our heads about the ongoing violent crime in society. (/sarcasm)
LOL! If that isn't a statement from some 3rd world banana republic, I don't know what is. Welcome to California, gringos.
