In the liberal wasteland of Los Angeles County, chaos erupted at a small bakery in Compton as over 100 looters, most likely fueled by the leftist idea that property rights don’t matter, slammed a white Kia through the front doors and pillaged the business.

It was 3 a.m. on a Tuesday when the bakery fell victim to this lawlessness, with thieves storming in to quickly fill their arms and pockets with anything they could get their grubby hands on. This is what happens when the radical left’s “defund the police” narrative emboldens criminals to commit brazen acts of destruction and theft.
Despite efforts to conceal their identities with masks and hoods, these looters left with meat, groceries, lottery tickets, and scales, among other stolen items. The audacity of these criminals is truly appalling.
Making matters worse, authorities were alerted to the chaos through multiple calls detailing a car that had been set on fire outside the bakery prior to the looting. The left’s tolerance for lawlessness and disorder is making it increasingly difficult for hardworking business owners and law-abiding citizens to feel safe in their own communities.
Local residents are understandably outraged and fearful, with one expressing dismay at the disheartening sight of a car being used to smash through the bakery’s doors. The lack of action from city and county leaders is nothing short of a disgrace, as these liberal politicians stand by while their constituents suffer at the hands of rampant criminality.
Democratic Compton Mayor Emma Sharif’s proposed ordinance to increase citations for street takeovers is a feeble attempt to address the root cause of the problem. The liberal solution to crime is always more laws and regulations, but what’s really needed is a return to strong leadership that prioritizes law and order.
