Los Angeles: Shootings have increased 73% this year

[EarlA]

Less people interacted with each other last year which could be a major factor for the reason there was less crime last year.

Not a difficult concept to understand.

This is the first thing that popped up. I didn’t read the whole thing, just glanced at the table

It's amazing how gun crime has everything to do with criminals and criminal activity. Almost like you had to break the law.

I hear this complaint ad nauseam in Portland.

Democrats/Liberals will never understand that the people behind the guns are at fault, not the guns themselves.

Portland alone has seen a huge increase in gun violence and the people of this city continue to blame the guns, not the criminals who get them illegally.

Common sense is lost in my city.

The funny thing is these are the same people who want to legalize all sorts of drugs because they say prohibition doesn't work, and it's unfair to blame the drugs for the problems that people have with them. Yet when it comes to guns they have this "prohibition works" attitude and totally blame guns for all the problems that people have with them.

Y’all got to quit being so partisan and give Biden credit here- he’s playing the long game.



First off he’s making raw materials so expensive that ammunition is no longer affordable-
So once these people use all their ammo they will no longer be able to replace it.


Then he’s making everything else so expensive that they will have to take their guns to the pawnshop shop to get enough money to live off of for another day or 2.


And he’s expending all this ammo on the fools he deceived into voting for him, and immigrants - so it won’t hurt his elite friends.


Trust the plan.

For the "well it must have been decreased in 2020 because of lock down argument"

Looks like 2020 was up from 2019 even despite the lockdowns.

Los Angeles, CA= no care.

Yeah but we need more laws to prevent these shootings!

Imagine being so dumb like navid93 that looking back to 2019 was too much of a challenge to think up.

It will be interesting if LA recalls their DA. Since Democrat DA Gascon has been in office violent crime and murder rates have increased significantly. Seems some in LA have had enough.

"Boudin, Gascon Join Newsom as Targets of CA Recall Campaigns"

https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/202...d-billingsley/

excerpt:

....Since taking office, Boudin has tried zero homicides, and essentially shut down the justice system in San Francisco. Boudin released a previously jailed criminal who killed two people and on his watch crime is up 46 percent. “All corners of the 49 square miles of San Francisco are targets now,” Richie Greenberg explained. “We have seen the brazen robberies. We have seen daytime shootings. We have seen how residents, small business owners, and visitors alike to San Francisco have been targets.”

Boudin replaced George Gascon, appointed in 2010 by San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom, when Kamala Harris ran for state attorney general. Last year, with backing from Harris, Black Lives Matter and George Soros, Gascon (pictured above) unseated African American Jackie Lacey as district attorney of Los Angeles. Gascon has removed all crime enhancements in trials, ordered prosecutors not to attend parole hearings, and supported the resentencing of those with murder convictions after serving only 15 years. These measures sparked a recall effort that will soon be authorized to gather signatures.....

An increase in democrats killing democrats? The man deserves a congressional Medal of Honor, not to be reprimanded.
