  1. Duterte needs to run for governor of California after he's done his term in the Philippines

  2. Maybe these idiots will never get it but this is what happens when you vote blue!!!

  3. This is what happens with defund the police…..smh

  4. What's messed up is the police are being attacked in the dept itself. And they have to tighten the hold of the ordinary hard working indigenous people of…..[Los Angeles]
    in order to show, prove to themselves or appeal to the gangs that they are going to the next level to take care of the problems of those gangs.

  5. WELL THE L.A. CITY COUNSEL SAYS CRIME IS DOWN IN L.A. SO DOES GEORGE GASCON ! THE NEWS CHANNELS BLAME CRIME ON YOU , DONT DRIVE THAT NICE CAR , DONT WEAR THAT FANCY WATCH, DONT LIVE IN A NICE HOUSE YOUR ASKING FOR TROUBLE ! THE LIBERAL ANSWER IS TO BLAME THE VICTIM !

  6. How tough is it to just start placing undercover cops as bait. Better yet, stop flashing and buying pricey baubles in public.

  7. Elections have consequences. Behold one of the many consequences of putting progressives into office to implement dangerous and failed policies.

  8. Walk slowly and carry a great big gun

  9. “They think they can just….”. Based on the video evident, they didn’t think they can do it, they did….

  10. We're being hunted everyday – LeBron James

  11. Ya, because no law abiding citizen can carry a firearm in California. Only the criminals do.

  12. Bail and police reform at work.

  13. If you want things to change than think before you vote. These liberal politicians, DA's, and judges have created these situations. Think before you vote.

  14. “[Name of the person], led by the Devil, having abandoned through apostasy the promise he had made at his Baptism, has not feared to ravage the Church of God, steal Church goods and violently oppress the poor of Christ. In our concern over this, we do not desire that he perish because of any pastoral neglect of our own. For before the dread Judgment seat, we will have to render an account to the Prince of Shepherds, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in accordance with the terrible warning the Lord Himself addresses to us with these words: If thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand (Ez 3:18). Therefore, we have canonically warned him once, twice, a third and yet a fourth time so that he might conquer his malice, inviting him to amend himself, make reparation and penance, and reprehending him with paternal affection. But he – o woe! – despising the salutary admonitions of the Church of God, which he has offended, and led by the spirit of pride, has not wanted to make any reparation

    “The precepts of the Lord and of the Apostles speak clearly about what to do with such prevaricators. For the Lord says: Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offends thee, cut them off and cast them from thee (Mt 8:18). And the Apostle advises: If any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or a server of idols, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one, do not so much as to eat. (1 Cor 5:11) And John, the favorite disciple of Christ, forbids that one should even greet one who is wicked: If any one come to you and bring not this doctrine, do not receive him into the house, and greet him not (2 Jn 1:10).

    “Therefore, carrying out the precepts of the Lord and of the Apostles, let us take from the body of the Church with the iron tongs of excommunication this putrid and incurable member who refuses to accept the remedy, so that the rest of the members of the body may not be poisoned by such a pestiferous disease. He has despised our admonitions and our repeated exhortations; having been warned three times, according to the precept of the Lord, he would not amend himself and do penance; he has not reflected upon his guilt, nor has he confessed it; neither has he presented any excuse through a third party, nor did he ask for pardon. But, with his heart hardened by the Devil, he continues to persevere in the same evil as before, according to the words of the Apostle: The impenitent heart stores up to itself wrath for the day of wrath (Rom 2:5).

    “Wherefore by the judgment of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost, of the St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and of all the Saints, and by virtue of the power which has been given us of binding and loosing in Heaven and on earth that which was divinely entrusted to us, we deprive him [the person is named] with all his accomplices and all his abettors of the Communion of the Body and Blood of Our Lord; we separate him from the society of all Christians; we exclude him from the bosom of our Holy Mother the Church in Heaven and on earth; and we declare him excommunicated and anathematized, as well as judge him condemned to eternal fire with Satan and his angels and all the reprobates. So long as he will not burst the fetters of the Devil, amend himself and do penance and make reparation to the Church which he has offended, we deliver him to Satan for the perdition of his flesh, so that his soul may be saved on the day of judgment.

    “To this, all the assistants answer: “Fiat, fiat, fiat” [so be it, so be it, so be it].

    “The Bishop and the assisting priests then cast to the ground the lighted candles they have been carrying. Notice is sent in writing to all the priests in the neighboring parishes, as well as to the Bishops, of the name of the one who has been excommunicated and the cause of his excommunication in order that they may have no communication with him, thus removing them from any occasion of excommunication.”

    IMPORTANT NOTE: only to be prayed by a priest. A layman is not authorized to use this prayer, nor must ever attempt to do so.
    (Roman Pontifical apud Catolicismo, December 1952)

  15. Alert !! Supreme Court and DOJ are compromised!

    DOJ Garland
    promised to hold Trump insurrectionists accountable, but he has not for the leaders and he is not cooperating with all other justice departments.
    Garlands plan is to wait out the clock so he can say, oh we just couldn't get to it in time.

    NY DA Bragg
    Will not arrest trump for crimes his office has well documented.

    NY Judge
    will a NY judge hold Trump on contempt charges? probably not

    There are some brave people trying to punish Trump, but he is hard to reach.

    we want accountability for the following –

    1. meadows doesnt appear in front of commission that is contempt of congress… doj wont arrest him is unethical. he didn't appear, what more evidence is needed? ……DOJ Failed
    mark meadows says he lived in a n. Carolina mobile home he has never lived in. what would a multimillionaire be doing living in a mobile home…..what a cheat, but he is being investigated for this voter fraud crime.

    2. "hang mike pence"…criminal threat……DOJ Failed
    3. offering pardons… witness tampering……DOJ Failed
    4. inciting violence Jan 6 ……DOJ Failed

    5. ToiletGate – trump destroyed government documents and took secret documents home after losing his job! see presidential records act for details of the law he violated. It is well documented that Trump stole secrete document from the White House.

    6. interfering with elections……DOJ Failed
    7. contempt of congress……DOJ Failed
    8. fake electors ……DOJ Failed

    9. kelly ward and spouse and others, impersonating as government electors even after Barr and Pence said one could not do that……DOJ Failed

    10. Jeffrey Clark – co-conspirator for trying to weaponized the department of justice to overturn the election

    11. Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act applies to what Trump did.

    By summer time, Georgia will enter phase 2 of their prosecution efforts for election interference…… how slow.

    12. what about enforcing the 14th amendment of the Constitution of the United States? get rid of Cawthorn under section 3 of the 14th Amendment

    13. muller investigation……DOJ Failed…. statue of limitation expired!
    14. Will New York speak with Trump under oath? No because of corruption. New York DOJ appears to be supporting Trumps so dont expect progress there!

    alvin bragg is another DA that supports Trumpism. Trump committed a crime and is not being prosecuted. New York should remove bragg from office.

    actions speak louder than speculation, at this time I am convinced Garland wont prosecute Trump or any top insurrectionist. Only time will reveal why! in time Trump will be mentally broken or dead and then this insurrection nonsense will slowly die too. how sad that some people get away with murder!

    virgina thomas, wife of supreme court justice Clarence Thomas is an insurrectionist too. it was discovered that she was pushing for the election overthrow. Ginni Thomas, the conservative activist who’s married to Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed Trump’s White House chief of staff to pursue efforts to overturn the 2020 election

    "This is a fight of good versus evil. Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs. Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. MEADOWS TEXT TO THOMAS

    no major arrest for seditious conspiracy leaders. The disgraced former president Trump, Trumps chief of staff, and a gang of congressional members in the House and Senate continue to conspired to undermine American democracy.

    …Putin = Trump
    Trumpism is a support for Putin. Wake up and Lock Trump up and support freedom.

    Stop The Steal – Don't let Trumps steal our Democracy and make us like Russia!
    Democracy will FAIL if Trump doesn't get indicted!

    save us from Trumism!

    ……..trump is evil….

  16. Heeeee Heeeee Heeeee donkey party state

  17. AFRICAN BOOTY SCRATCHERS

  18. That's what they're raising now a bunch of the delinquents parents don't discipline this kids like they used to most kids you raised I don't appreciate nothing you do for them when I was a kid when I was raised I used to work small the value of working earning my own stuff nothing wrong with that but now these days parents don't want ther kids to work don't want to do nothing so they grow up thinking they they have the right to everything its sad I have never stole nothing and my life I work for everything but everything I got is mine cuz I work for it and it feels mine

  19. Did anyone else noticed any other similarities? 🙍🏿

  20. the police comes after the fact…citizens needs to carry a gun!

  21. Let the Army do the job

  22. So set up security at big stores and get home security.

  23. Can we borrow El Presidente Bukele of El Salvador? He knows how to take out the 🗑!

  24. there is a pattern here. usual suspects. BLACK Excellence.

  25. But no sting operations by LAPD.

  26. For criminals, tougher gun laws = easy targets.

  27. Batman.. We need you!

  28. it not true, LA is the most peaceful and clean city, freedomland, the liar reporter, only the rich people there, I think that is in Bangkok, the most robery cities and dangerous city of the world

  29. Imagine if everyone had a Dash Cam and all businesses had surveillance cameras, eventually police would find a clue. Imagine if valuable property had a GPS tracker or the Apple Air Tags, anyone with an iPhone within the vicinity of an Air Tag alerts you to it's location, cops could help retrieve stolen material. It'd be nice if money had special circuitry that could be tracked.

  30. Maybe they should set up an armed neighborhood watch and be on the lookout for certain hoodie wearing types. Let the cops profile and Stop and Frisk certain people.

  31. SMH.. this is just nonsense…

  32. I'm on my way to Cali in a week gonna walk on and out of high end stores just waiting for one of these scums to try something

  33. Liberals love collapsing their states.

  34. But if you call the police and they do thier job it's a racist event.

  35. Seems like democrats wanted this to happen when they let criminals out of jail. Don't forget…democrats let criminals out of jail early

  36. You rob a mom with a toddler and you should be put down on site.

  37. Ultimately they are on the road to their own destruction. Each and everyone whom does wrong is accumulating judgement which they will give an account for. If they don't choose to repent for their crimes, they only deceive themselves as each day they are led further closer to their own destruction. They are missing out on life and many of them sit in prison to this day never to return to society nor can they ever make up what they themselves kept throwing away. Crime does pay, and it robs you of you're very soul which you can never ever get back once it's gone for good. Repentance is everything that will last for eternity in life evermore. They choose death in every crime and it will come back to them multifold if they don't change for good. Matters not the color of you're skin because we all bleed red.

  38. El Salvador is doing a wonderful job with their gang problem right now. I suggest we follow suit. These animals can't keep victimizing innocent people anymore. The DA won't charge them so it'd be nice if we start seeing the community take matters into their own hands….oh right California has disarmed it's citizens.

  39. The states with the most strict gun laws remain the most dangerous🤷

  40. You mean California voters didn't expect something like this when they keep electing the same clowns? I have no sympathy for them. Oh, and remain in your state and do not migrate to other states like locusts.

  41. You get what you vote for.

  42. Hahaha gotta love California! Keep up the good work criminals. Your state asked you to do this. They love crime and poverty! Target more of the rich though. You will get more loot!🤣🤣

  43. Rich Democrats being hunted down by the "Teens" they love so dearly. Priceless.
