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.”

Staggering amount of stupid.

Fences have been around forever. The internet is just another tool for moving stolen goods.

Did law enforcement get rid of traditional human fences? No. Can they shut down online fencing? No.

The majority of LA voters put her, and other far-left lunatics, in office. Now they’re dealing with the consequences.

As the saying goes, “You can’t fix stupid”.

Why? So you can not arrest those people as well?

Downtown LA in the ‘40s:

See any of Karen’s relatives there? See any Spanish signs?

It wasn’t paradise but it was way better then South Succotash, Mississippi...or Frostbite Falls, Minnesota.

And now it’s destroyed by crap like this who barged in and turned it into a nightmare terrorized by her feral sub-human relatives. But it’s never their fault, it’s always somebody else’s.

Another Black woman is mayor of a city that’s infamous for
its homeless population, street filth, and poop map.

San Francisco Black Mayor London Breed is now turning tail b/c her
internal polls are dismal and shes not done pilfering the public treasury yet.

She now accuses the homeless coalition (whatever
that is) of holding the city “hostage for decades.”

I taught self contained special education & those children knew right from wrong. They also understood consequences.

Adult criminals will continue until they get serious about giant fines & jail time. It’s just that simple.
