"Mr. Flores is someone who the San Fernando Police Department has had numerous contacts with in the past," said Chief Fabian Valdez. "So, upon seeing the video footage, officers immediately recognized him."Copyright © 2023 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.

Then if you know lapd knows he has in the past done this over and over again for robbery and you guys still release him out of jail so he can re do it and hurt other people come on you guys from lapd! That could’ve been my dad for god forbidden 🙏😡

We can thank Newsom for this one

Animals ppl are barbaric

This is what scares me about my grandparents being out and about alone.

The keywords: Out on Parole, another robbery case. Why are felons out doing whatever they want? Robbing and murdering? Is it really making the city money? Is it just propaganda?

Why do you guys keep letting these thugs out of prison!! Keep them behind bars where they belong, so that these elderlies will be safe!!

OK...SO, was he ARRESTED Will he be released next day?

The case has been turned over to the district attorney who will imminently put Flores on a revolving door back on the streets.

These attacks will continue to get worse. The California Pro Criminal GavinNewsom & Pro Criminal Democrat Politicians refuse to enforce and change the laws, support the Police & Sheriff, and continue to ket criminals out of jail. nobail crimnals jail police sheriff

of course he was out on parole

Bring him back!

If Edgar was black this wouldn’t be on the news at all.

It’s being turned over to DA where charges will quickly be dropped.

Shout out GeorgeGascon GavinNewsom all this 31 yr old needs is love and a mental health expert or something like that

The majority got what they voted for, don’t complain, you were warned

LA a crime waiting to happen

How many more people must suffer before our governor steps up!!! This is disgusting

Poor abuelito🥺

Lock that MF up!

Thanks GavinNewsom 👏🏻

AWESOME GavinNewsom

That poor man. I hope he’s alright. I’m going to start carrying an 🪓

Out on parole. Thanks LADAOffice GeorgeGascon CAgovernor GavinNewsom

Dudes like him are why people are staying strapped these days I pray to meet someone like that on the streets

Let out by Gascon

Pathetic democrats. This is on you

All of you who voted for Props 47 and 57 are responsible for this violence.

GavinNewsom keep it up dude, you’re killing it.

31 and that hairline, no wonder he’s mad.

I risked riding my bike to DIY to get some drain cleaner. plumber

Another criminal for GeorgeGascon to pat on the butt and turn loose to terrorize more Angelenos.

I don’t understand the logic behind begging for parole only to get locked up again.

BUT THE DA DOES NOT CHARGE ANYONE. !!!! REMOVE GASCON !!!!

Outrages!!! Why is he out on parole, such coward!

Another case of LADAOffice endangering law abiding citizens.

Glad that men still exist to fuck that dude up for that crime to humanity

Ohhh… out on parole… nice.

Lock these people up for good….THE FIRST TIME! Society is tired of being victimized

LAisNotSafe KarenBassLA

GavinNewsom wants to send him to Club Med San Quinten for therapy.

Prison for life A*hole!!! Don’t want this human on our streets again!

That’s why we have use digital money

I’m sure he’s out of jail already. This is disgusting

Scumbag . Hats off to the guy who chased him down the sidewalk hands swinging 👍👊

I wonder how many murders could be prevented if the people with 20 arrests were actually held accountable.

Los Angeles' judicial system at its finest. With no consequence, they will do it over and over and over.

Let the elderly victim have a go at the piece of 💩with a Louisville Slugger while his feet are shackled and his hands are tied behind his back. Senior can only stop if he breaks the bat! Edgar might think twice about attacking anyone else.

Wish you kept rolling tape where other dude beats that thug to a pulp.

No respect for law or its punishments…but at least it’s fair.

This is the kind of c*** your news network pushes you all love to see this stuff division within America. It's the democratic way

Oh god against Asians again?

Death penalty that’s it.

So glad the workers come out to help and not just watched.

Liberals destroy everything they touch.

Edgar Flores need to be back in prison GeorgeGascon . Stop with your bullshit policy of letting criminals run wild .

Makes me want to carry to protect myself.

Death penalty

Omg that is so so horrible. That lowlife person should be placed under prison. Ugh prayers going up for the innocent victim

Lock him up!!! Throw away the key!!!!

And it’s going to get worse with reduction in Parole

Thanks Gavin Newsome

Piece of caca

25 years to life. Please

GeorgeGascon loves putting dangerous criminals back on the street! ATTENTION LOS ANGELES: buy firearms ThirdWorldCalifornia DemocratsDeliver

Just imagine the LAPDHQ frustration when they see a criminal they arrested few months ago free in the streets doing the same again. Keep supporting democrats in leadership, this is the result

Parole.

🔫this 🍕💩on sight

Lo hubieran matado a ese hijo de su Puta madre, lo hubieran hecho carnitas al culero

smh i hope the old man is ok… i hope they put that f*cker back in jail

GavinNewsom here is just another example of your failed policies . A well known repeat offender on the streets attacking & robbing an older gentleman. Nice to know that you value criminals’ rights over law abiding citizens’ lives. He really looks non-violent doesn’t he?

GavinNewsom let’s give this men a dorm room experience while in prison

Weird. If only there was a place that kept criminals off the streets 😑

It’s time to lock Edgar up. Again.😕

Scum of the earth

What a piece of trash. U gotta be some sick individual to be attacking elderly and kids that are defendless. Hope karma get his back triple fold

Every story you report on start's with a man ' who was out on parole ' 🗡️🔪🩸

GeorgeGascon GavinNewsom this your boy?

😳😡😭

This is sad 😢. Edgar is a despicable piece of excrement.

... flores belongs in prison. SanFernandoPD good catch

Fatherless activities

Deport his ass

I like how bystanders stepped up to help the old gentleman. 👏

This is what the people voted for!

Some people are just born to commit crime! They must be punished for harming others. Just like when activists are calling on holding police officers accountable, we must hold bad people accountable as well!

Who tf attacks old people?!

Edgar Flores, 31, who was well known to police, and out on prior robberies... Beat up a 69 year old man who was simply trying to get home after getting groceries. Our prosecutors and judges are *systematically* letting dangerous, violent people roam about free.

So horrible. Someone do the same to him, and lock him up and let him rot.
