Let that crime rate go up ANOTHER 137% and let’s see whatthey think.
West Hollywood votes to cut Los Angeles County sheriff funding amid crime wave
The move to reduce police funding comes amid a crime wave in Los Angeles County and public opposition
A trendy Los Angeles County community has voted to reduce law enforcement funding despite escalating crime that was up 137% earlier in the year and public backlash.
The budget for the next two fiscal years will leave West Hollywood with up to five fewer Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies on patrol. At the same time the council approved increasing funding for a cultural arts festival.
The budget was approved by a narrow 3-2 vote with Mayor Lauren Meister dissenting as well as Councilman John Erickson.
“Most of the residents and businesses I have heard from are opposed to cutting the Sheriff’s budget,” Meister told Fox News in a statement. “They are outraged that people and organizations from outside our city are dictating to Council how to run our city. The narrative that we can have ‘either Sheriff’s or social services,’ or ‘either Sheriff’s or unarmed security teams’ is false.”
Thirty or forty more armed home invasions ought to get their attention.
3000 – 4000 would require a lot of popcorn.

Obviously coming here to save taxes.
Hey Steve, you just need to do what we in Western Maryland want to do with Baltimore and Washington D.C.. Fence both off and consider it our state and national zoo.
People will learn to be Committees of Vigilance and take care of the problem and do it on the fairly cheap… very short trial, and hanging or sent to a true chain gang and preform hard labor community jobs like repairing streets, sweeping streets, washing off graffiti, mucking out the local waste water treatment plant with out PPE Gear…etc.

Let’em burn the whole friggin thing down. I couldn’t give a rats round ass about any part of that shithole. Any sane person would have fled while the getting was good. Let the pole smokers, gangbangers and woketards fight it out to see who will be the king of the jungle.
You shit in your bed, now lie in it.
This along with zero bail laws all add up to the new democrat motto
