Agreed --Covid was an experient to see how quickly "leaders" and/or elected officials could get regular people to turn into SCARED SHEEP.
The restrictions were based on emtotions, fear and actual facts were steonly surpressed.
As for vaccines...some are helpful. After seeing a family member suffer and become completely incapacitated from Shigles because he "didn't have time" for the vaccine, I took the shingrex. Some vaccines work and can help avoid loss of quality of life.
Too bad Twitter is full of knuckleheads who go "Well, it's bad if a white man does it cuz that means it's white supremacy" instead of, y'know, saying that violent behavior is a part of criminality and it shouldn't be encouraged.
Putting Karen Bass in charge of LA Metro is like putting her in charge of LAFD and LA DWP before the fires destroyed Pacific Palisades. It’s full-on incompetence and negligence leading to chaos and destruction. So glad you are suing to get to the truth in exposing the conditions leading to this senseless cold blooded murder on Metro.
This has been coming for a long time. The blue cities just can’t help it, they have to pander to the people who used to be either in jail or in mental hospitals.
In NYC back in the ‘60s I would ride a bus from my home in Bayside to Flushing then take 2 subways to my aunt’s apartment in Greenwich Village frequently. I was 10 years old!
When my eldest son was 20, I had to warn him to keep his eyes open as he rode into Manhattan. He didn’t and he was robbed in the early ‘90s!
These days, eyes open or shut, it’s very dangerous. My hat’s off to San Francisco for protecting their riders, I hope others follow.
What a shit hole Commiefornia has become!!! But truthfully I don't feel sorry for the citizens of Commiefornia or L. A... You get what you voted for election after election... Sadly I see the rest of these United States becoming Commiefornia in the next 15-20yrs from now!!!
"Problems" require funding to provide "solutions". If the problems are never resolved the funding will continue. Isn't this the approach of so many of our large cities?
So the murderer was on the train, even though he was banned from riding it. And the tax payer funded Metro won’t release info to the taxpayers who pay for it all. Makes sense to me: NOT.
I would love to see a truly safe and successful Metro system. Why not start with turnstiles and meaningful fare enforcement? Public transportation could be such an asset to Pasadena. Imagine how many more people would use the trains if they felt safe. We spend billions building transit systems, yet we seem reluctant to enforce the basic rules that help them function. I want Metro to succeed, but safety has to come first.
The real problem, is that the left loves criminals, almost every ACLU lawsuit is a scam, being used to get criminals out of prison. At least this was my experience working in law-enforcement for two decades.
The LA metro really ought to ask their buddies up in the Bay Area how enforcing fare payment works for reducing crime - https://wheninyourstate.com/usa/maintenance-costs-fall-96-after-san-francisco-adds-tamper-proof-subway-turnstiles/
If the LA metro wants more riders, it needs the environment to be safe. It won't be safe if criminals ride the metro. This is not rocket surgery
Well social justice was more important than Covid, and Covid was so scary that they suspended your constitutional rights.
Wasn't the whole COVID-19 an experiment before anyone in the US caught it?
And as someone who has taken vaccines repeatedly, I have to question their value. Or, perhaps, my life expectancy.

Just do the research.
You're right about the sheep part. I'll try to do my research, but I can't guarantee I'll have a list for you right away.
One would think....

Criminals belong in prison, not for their rehabilitation, nor for their future. Simply to keep them away from the rest of us.
THE problem is (for the most part) it does neither, Rehabilitate OR Punish.

Yet they elect her....
Yes The fox is in chatge of the henhouse
Ya get what ya vote for…
Well some people make votes for her. How many actual Angelenos vote for her is another matter
FACT
Sadly true- and quite difficult to understand the voting behavior

Not just pandering to the "victims" but attempting to feel vituous by supporting DEI --or even worse ..the insane DSA plan of no jails, no police etc.

Bass is an ass! But the people who vote her in are worse.
Chris, you somehow have the abilulity to be everywhere/do everything, at once... so impressive. Much respect for all that you do.

Yes--the ..throw money at the problem solution
We need a Mental Health policy that works.
Bingo. The most lucrative scam on the taxpayers everywhere.
Local government agencies have become the enemy for citizens. They are always hiding from their poor job performance, both monetary and physical.
Unfortunately, I live in Minnefornia, 30 miles from Minneangeles—but we're leaving, like many of our sane citizens.
That's absolutely ridiculous. California has turned into Soros's wet dream.
Are you implying the Soros family doesn’t take public transit?

But that would contradict so much progressive rhetoric and election promises.
NYC has the same issue of fare evading even though $100 Million is set aside annually to give to the poor for subway transportation.
No matter where you live Public Transport at night is dangerous.
Not in Japan (or really any part of East Asia)
I meant America.

What a nightmare. God bless your efforts.
