Mike Stone - Los Angeles is a Shithole
February 17, 2022
Heck, we even have train robberies
here. Yup, old fashioned train robberies. The downtown area of the city
is now littered knee-high with trash from those robberies. A train
actually derailed from the trash piled up on the tracks from the robbery
of the prior train.by Mike Stone

The woman at the checkout counter frowned down at the twenty dollar bills I handed her.
For a moment I thought she was going to hand them back to me. Instead, she lifted each bill overhead and scrutinized them against the overhead light.
Then, she took out a special pen and ran it over each bill. I've seen people do that before with fifty and one hundred dollar bills, but never a twenty.
"Do you get a lot of counterfeit money in here?" I asked her.
She gave me a look like I'd just stepped off the turnip truck.

"All the time."
Living in Los Angeles, I'm aware of our city's high crime rate, but I didn't know counterfeiting was a problem, especially a rash of counterfeit twenty dollar bills.

Counterfeiting is a crime that requires a minimal level of intelligence and sophistication. Those are two qualities lacking in almost everyone who resides in this city.
I'm more used to seeing the usual mindless and violent crime that Los Angeles is known for: assault, armed robbery, car jackings, and the old smash and grab. You're familiar with that one, right? A gang of black "youths," clad in hooded sweatshirts and wearing face masks to conceal their identity, storm into a jewelry or electronics store, hammers in hand, and smash open the glass display cases. They then grab whatever they want and waltz out.
Or, lacking hammers, packs of fifty or more "youths" descend en masse into an unsuspecting retail business, grab anything that isn't nailed down, and run out the door.

Nobody lifts a finger to stop these marauding animals or the smash-and-grabbers, of course, because that would be racist, a crime far worse than the felony theft taking place.
I was stunned the first time I witnessed one of these spectacles. Dozens of black teens with crazed looks on their faces swarming all around me, huffing and grunting like wild animals. They smashed and knocked over displays, grabbed whatever they could and bolted for the door.

For every one that ran outside with an armful of merchandise, three more came running inside. In less than three minutes, the store was picked clean.
That type of violent crime is a more honest representation of the mindset of the average Los Angeles criminal.

And we still have our share of murders, a crime that has risen dramatically in the last two years. Most of those murders never make the news, but a recent one did: a young girl savagely stabbed to death in broad daylight at the furniture store where she worked.
How is the city's political leadership responding to the crime crisis, you ask?
It's all water off a duck's back for our city's smiling DA, George Gascon, left. He refuses to prosecute the criminals. The man who allegedly murdered Brianna Kupfer in the furniture store had a decade-long history of criminal arrests, most recently an arrest in Los Angeles in October of 2020, only three months before he allegedly murdered Kupfer.

Gacson's office just let him waltz free.
Mayor Eric Garcetti's response is to simply ignore it, perhaps in the hope that it will all go away on its own. The response of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is to fire 4,000 Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department employees for not being "vaccinated."
It's said that people get the government they deserve. Nowhere is that truer than in Los Angeles.

For over a year and a half, I was the only person--and I mean the only person--in a five mile radius not wearing a face mask.
Today, a few others have joined me, but we still represent less than 1% of the city's population. People here wear face masks alone in their cars with the windows rolled up.
Do you think any of them give a wit about the rising crime rate and murders taking place all around them when there's a phony virus out to get them?
Thank God we have one individual in this city who is standing up to the nonsense, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, left.

If Villanueva ever leaves his job, this city will descend into literal hell. But, hey, we've got the Super Bowl here to watch.

In 1991, David Rieff published a book called Los Angeles: Capital of the Third World, which predicted almost all of what's going on now.
Jerry Pournell called the West Coast our hemisphere's "Land of the Lotus Eaters" by which he meant none of nature's laws or man's laws apply to us. It's the one thing I noticed everytime I visited the folks in Northern California and elsewhere. It was always good to leave and get back to the world. Even when things were going good, the rot was building. Now, it seems to have won.
