People wearing expensive jewelry, driving high-end cars and patronizing ritzy restaurants are among those being targeted in a spate of increasingly violent “follow-home robberies” around Los Angeles, prompting local authorities to step up resources to combat the alarming trend.
Smiley noted that last week, a mother was robbed while pushing her baby in a stroller in well-to-do Hancock Park. He said it feels like he’s witnessing “the decay of our civilization and the devolution of our culture.”
“It’s one thing for it to happen in the ghettos and the barrios,” he said. “When it starts happening in Trousdale Estates and Hancock Park, we’re in trouble. We’ve got some work to do.”
Now that the rich are getting robbed, something will be done about the crime rate.
Poor people don't matter.
Sad but true.
