Thanks again Sheriff’s for following up on this massive increase in gun-related crimes in SCV and specifically CC. I know Gascon will set them free but at least they know it isnt welcomed here like it is in LA and SFV. We have to keep striving for and fighting to be a different law and order town than the rest of LA. Sad to say this is now different.
Amen to that. Let us pray the Defund the Police crowd doesn’t become Santa Santa Clarita City Council Members. By the way, here is a picture of Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar’s offspring wearing a necklace that reads “F The Police.” How on Earth do voters elect these people to public office. The link is below.
