We don’t need descriptions of the victims. We need descriptions of the SUSPECT!
THIS. ALWAYS.
It’s all our fault, even if the percentage of blame is tiny, these crimes stem from something WE as citizens didn’t do right or did do wrong: didn’t vote at all, or did vote but for the wrong official, we don’t hold our representatives & elected officials accountable for their duties, we don’t blow up the phone lines unless the ish happens in our “backyard”, we don’t care for our neighbors or each other like we do for ourselves & what is ours, we live in fear and wait for “them “ to fix what broken & in the meantime we point fingers and find fault in everyone else and spread hate about how Bass ain’t this & that, Trump this, LAPD that, the schools this, the homeless that and blah blah blah!
There are those who always want to blame a group for the ills of America....individuals need to look inward asking themselves how they want to be treated?
So many ignorant comments here
Chances are high it was somebody with multiple crimes released multiple times from jail
@dodgeEm26 well duh. This state is run by Democrats.
