When dealing with high crime rates, why should you carry a gun?

Los Angeles, CA—Ultra-left-wing Governor Newsom released over 100,000 dangerous felons from California’s prisons, with many more criminals released from local jails. Newsom and various mayors supported the idea that those arrested and accused of crimes should not have to post bail to ensure their court appearances.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles and San Francisco are simply refusing to file cases against criminals for so-called “social reasons,” aligning with their political agendas. We have a legislature that consistently supports gun bans, despite the clear language of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

California has too many judges who reflect the values of the far-left Democratic party that appointed them, rather than those of the Constitution.

Several factors obstruct truthful crime reporting. One major issue is the excessive wait time to reach 911 emergency operators. It's not unusual for desperate callers to be on hold for up to half an hour. I know of a critical burglary-in-progress call in Los Angeles that was finally answered by police four hours later.

Due to poor police service, people know that reporting crimes like theft and robbery is often futile. Police respond late, rarely make arrests, and if they do, cases rarely proceed to conviction. Without calling the cops, there's no evidence that a crime occurred.

To make matters worse, a frustrated LAPD administrator went public with the fact that the LAPD was deliberately underreporting crime to the FBI and the public. She was heavily disciplined for telling the truth.

San Francisco and Los Angeles both have mayors who hinder the police from doing their sworn duties.

The United States Supreme Court ruled in June 2022 that most gun bans and regulations are unconstitutional. Instead of obeying this ruling, California officials have consistently fought against it, forcing ongoing litigation.

One thing is for sure: the people of California are on their own. They must rely on self-help or receive no help at all. Failing to take steps to protect yourself and your loved ones significantly increases the risk of being murdered.

Regarding the unconstitutional gun laws still on the books in California, it is absolutely necessary to break them. If you plan to use firearms for self-defense, common sense, not laws, dictates that you get appropriate training. Local California governments make obtaining permits prohibitively expensive for some, and the time required to get proper carry permits defeats their purpose. You don’t need permission from these political figures to engage in constitutionally protected activities.

Thankfully, the Fourth Amendment protects us from unreasonable searches by government agents. If you're not misbehaving, they have no right to search you or use evidence from such a search against you in court. Most Americans can live their entire lives without being searched by police.

Let me make this clear: if a crime happens in your presence, by default, you are the first responder, and whether you act like one will determine whether you have a fighting chance to survive.

Never let politicians stand between you and your right to protect yourself and your loved ones. You are in the United States of America, not North Korea.

Today’s Democrat's and Their Ruthless Exploitation Homelessness

Los Angeles, CA— Growing up in the 1950s and 60’s, I never saw the so-called "homeless people" living in garbage on our streets. Such a sight was unheard of in our cities back then.

The financial impact of homelessness on our cities and population is astronomical. These individuals damage property, set fires, assault, annoy, intimidate, injure, and even kill innocents. The cost of their crimes includes not just the damage they cause, but also the additional expenses for police, criminal prosecution, defense, and judicial services.

In the past, we enforced laws against vagrancy, public intoxication, and drug use. Most importantly, those who were a danger to themselves or others were placed in secure mental heath facilities. However, liberals decided that involuntary commitments and jailing people for "being poor" were inhumane.

In reality, allowing people to live in filth and life-threatening conditions is far more inhumane. Tolerated homelessness has clearly impacted the quality of life in every major city run by Democrats. Allowing these conditions has created huge opportunities for theft and waste of taxpayer money. Despite the politicians throwing huge amounts of money at the problem, we see no discernible or positive results. Their solution? Throw even more money at it.

What's really happening is that numerous nonprofits are being awarded record sums of money that is simply being stolen. These nonprofits, in turn, grease the hands of the corrupt politicians who grant them these lucrative contracts. By opening a nonprofit and contributing to these officials' campaigns, one essentially gets a license to steal.

Those who are unable to care for themselves—clearly mentally ill or addicted to drugs, alcohol, or both—need serious intervention. I don't want to punish these unfortunate individuals. They should be in secure mental hospitals, where they can receive treatment for their health conditions, sleep with clean sheets in warm beds, take daily showers, eat nutritious meals, and perhaps even receive education or vocational training. They can certainly be released if they develop the necessary skills to become reasonably self-sufficient.

Despite billions being spent on homelessness, the problem has only worsened. Clearly, despicable politicians and their friends are profiting at the expense of the most vulnerable people in our society.

LA’s Media Has Reduced Itself to Being the Government’s Public Relations Agency

Anaheim, California—Last week I attended the conference for the Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE). Present were hundreds of investigative reporters and producers from all over the country, including some from South America and Europe.

Over a four-day period, there were numerous sessions designed to equip these professionals with every possible tool to uncover corruption. These reporters aim to give voices to the voiceless, ensure fair justice, and above all, end government theft and waste.

There is both good news and bad news. The good news is that technology keeps improving, providing investigative journalists with incredibly effective new tools. The bad news is that the government has gone to great lengths to shut down access to public records. In the past, news agencies would sue government bodies that refused to allow the inspection of public records. Additionally, the corporate executives who control media organizations won't allow any investigative pieces to be published without being reviewed by their legal teams. Lawyers are expensive, and media organizations simply won’t pay. As a result, investigative stories that should be told are not being told.

Attending the conference costs each individual approximately $1,500, including airfare, hotels, and various fees. However, this year, LA-based reporters could skip the cost of hotels and airfare.

Aside from adequate representation by KCBS/KCAL, the presence of other local LA TV stations was very poor or nonexistent. This sends a clear message: investigative reporting is virtually dead in LA, despite the self-promotion of their investigative reports.

Frankly, if the government didn’t hand out press releases, most of the LA news organizations would have to shut down. The competitive enterprise reporting of the past is just that—past. I can’t recall a single significant story uncovered by LA local TV in the last 20 years.

As a result, Los Angeles’ waste and corruption go entirely unchecked. Everything in California is under the absolute control of Democrat politicians, and no, they do not police each other.

George Orwell said it best: “Journalism is publishing what others don’t want published; anything else is public relations.” It’s a sad state of affairs with no correction expected in the future

Stabbing death at USC results in Murder arrest of a student.

             IVAN GALLEGOS 

Los Angeles.CA-UniversityUniversityof Southern California—According to various reports, a USC frat member stabbed a “homeless” car burglar to death in USC’s Greek Row (700 block of W. 28th Street).  The burglar was caught in the act by 19 year-old Ivan Gallegos and the altercation happened.  You should also know that the USC community is surrounded by a violent ghetto and this is a high crime area.  

Apparently, the burglar threatened to shoot Gallegos.  He either saw or thought he saw a gun in possession of the burglar. The cops did not find one in their nighttime search.   Under the circumstances, this would be a justifiable homicide.  However, the cops generally have a custom of arresting the winners of these kinds of events. They then refer to the loser as the “victim”.  Of course, cops making murderer arrest always get commendations.

So far the matter is being reviewed by The incredibly leftist, Soros funded, County DA, George Gascon.  I would be shocked and surprised if Gascon turned down prosecuting this lad.  On its face, it sounds like prosecution here would be a serious travesty of Justice.  

I live to do the self-defense investigations in these kinds of cases.  The background and criminal history of the dead burglar I’m sure is substantial, sight unseen.  It is unlikely that despite a serious criminal history that a jury would never be allowed to learn about this unless could prove he knew about it before the altercation. 

The bad news is that Gallegos remained the scene and “cooperated“ with police.  That to me suggests he gave the police details that will now be used against him.  I think if he was smart enough to simply say, I want a lawyer he would be sleeping in his own bed tonight instead of a stinky jail cell. He’s being held in lieu of a $2 million dollar bail requirement. 

In any event, I would love to do this criminal defense investigation! 

UPDATE:  This morning 20 June, the LA County DA ruled this case a justifiable homicide and released Ivan Gallegos! End of story!   

Local Crime News Is Selectively Reported By Today’s Media.

Chicago, Illinois— As everyone knows, our Legacy Media is owned and carefully controlled by Left Wing propagandists.  They report in unison to influence useful idiots and otherwise impressionable people.  As social media has spread, the Legacy Media has lost much of their influence and market share.  As time marched on, the state controlled, Legacy Media has become more vocal and more desperate, stretching their misleading content to the limits.  As a result they have hemorrhaged their viewers and readers. 

Make no mistake if they really want viewers/readers, they must remember rule number one, if it bleeds it leads.  Violence threatens our safety so that’s really why this is so important to everyone.  George Orwell said it best, “Journalism is printing something that someone does not want printed. Everything else is public relations.”  Rule number one has been sidestepped to conform with the current Leftist narratives. 

One real problem for the Legacy Media is that they’ve carefully covered up the race of black criminals whenever possible.  They’ve claimed they’re trying to avoid contributing to stereotypes.  I don’t give a shit what they want to call it, a cover-up is still a cover-up.  Of course, when the shoe is on the other foot where a white person victimizes a black person, that becomes leading headlines.  

The Democrat politicians are really concerned about the backlash against their perennial, facilitation and enabling of criminals.   This is through their continuing efforts to defund, and castrate law-enforcement as they allow criminals to evade being held accountable for their crimes.   

The Legacy Media and left-wing politicians have become bedmates as together they changed the direction of local news dramatically.  Instead of investigating crime, the media only reports what the local police dictates.  Of course, the police and what they tell the media is carefully controlled by the various mayors.  

The various cities are supposed to file accurate crime reports with the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports however, they conveniently and regularly find clever ways around accurate reporting.  Politics before truth is all that matters.  

In Chicago, there is a small social media organization of anonymous reporters and producers.  It is called CWB.  They understand the first rule of news, and if the story doesn’t bleed, they won’t cover it.  They report on  crime as accurately as they can and publish the police booking photos of the criminals. Chicago’s Violent crime is almost exclusively perpetrated by blacks and the mugshots prove this. 

I can only assume CWB wants to stay anonymous to avoid the threats and attacks they would receive for reporting the brutal truth.   If there is something that I wish CWB would do is to employ video to report their stories.  This takes, guts and money because turning a profit for any news, organization is difficult.

So if you’re watching your local news and most of what you see are feel-good, public relations stories that lack any importance to your life this is the current direction of local news.
