Thanks to the Sheriffs for nabbing the perps but sadly, this activity is sanctioned by DA George Gascon as you will see by the lack of prosecution of said perps. We had a chance to reverse his pro-criminal policy but they fought the recall results on technicalities. There should have been 10 million signatures for a recall. Even SF recalled their same school of thought DA. When you have people like this as DA, this activity continues to ramp up because it is a safe haven for them. Where is the outrage?
Not a teen MAN—-a MALE who cares nothing about others & his life, not to mention the families! Disgusting primitive creatures! Good ole Newhall!p
