Glad they were caught!! Where in CC did MARTINEZ & SABREDA live??
Laura went to Bowman. Facebook says, “I’m not a Killa, but don’t push me.” SMH She’s from Palmdale.
And no one shot this hombre? More time officers on the range. You save these people so they can and will kill more people, and it’s your fault.
Not LEs fault, it’s the tender minded , excusing Liberals that are ruining decent traditional values!! Look at the recent Texas church murders—a decent citizen stopped the murderer with a horrible gun!! Got 1 day of coverage, but day after days, violence in synagogues/mosques got day after day coverage—not fair!! BIAS!!

Canyon Country used to be referred to as Klanyon Country, now people call it Compton Country
Most of the crime taking place in Canyon Country and Santa Clarita is coming from people that don’t live in Santa Clarita. The real issue is we have become a lawless society. Laws don’t matter anymore and the criminals know they can get away with a whole lot more nowadays and blame shift on their race, life situation etc..instead of taking personal responsibility.
This is what happens when you have political hacks like current Sheriff Alex Villenuava. They take an Oath to uphold the Constitution but won’t let law abiding citizens use our 2nd Amendment rights to carry. I know as I’ve been jumped and beaten with a metal bar. Been rejected twice, even though i’ve got permits in 4 other states. If I could afford to move 15 minutes to Ventura County I could get my permit, which is valid in L.A. County. Why was i refused? Easy, I couldn’t identify my attackers and get a restraining order. Glad no one was killed but sucks law abiding citizens are having liberal politicians trying to take away our rights so they can have control over us. Yet they’re ok with protecting criminal ILLEGAL immigrants. Yeah my life’s in imminent danger every second we’ve got liberals ruining this state. Good thing they caught the two before someone did get killed.
Jimmy speaks the truth/facts!! Snowflakes don’t like the harsh truth of modern days in the excusing Liberal society!!
