It's not safe anywhere in LA. They should stop voting for Democrats

And the lib politician that has been all anti guns got her house broke into in Los Angeles and had TWO GUNS stolen!! Serves Los Angeles right. They vote to have criminals not prosecuted, defund police and all that idiocy this is what they get. He prob was part of defund police bs

This is just sick& disturbing! Stop w the guns already and killing people! I believe in our Second Amendment. Not everyone is mentally capable of handling a firearm. Definite deeper background checks need 2 b made! RIP thoughts & prayers 2 your family, friends & all your fan's!

I am so confused..., can you do a follow up report on whether or not it is illegal to brandish and discharge a weapon in a public setting in LA? I thought it was.

Democrat's America!

Liberal cities seem fun

Wow, so sad. Anyways...
