Crime in West Hollywood is up 137% from the same time last year, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Who says we do not have a crime wave.  West Hollywood is a small community with Hollywood on one side and Beverly Hills on the other.  They would consider AOC and Sanders moderates.  This is a radical town.  The L.A. County Sheriffs have the contract to patrol the city.  Now the Progressives are seeing first hand the results of their policies and support of DA George Gascon.

“In February 2022, nearly 250 “Part One” crimes — which include acts of murder, rape, burglary, aggravated assault, arson and human trafficking — were reported, compared to 105 incidents in February 2021.

“The only reason why you’re gonna come this far, into this neighborhood, is because either a) you believe you’re gonna get away with it, or b) you’re not gonna get punished for it and the stats are showing that,” security expert Russell Stuart, owner of Force Protection Agency, said.”

Every crook within 500 miles knows there are not enough law enforcement in the L.A. area—and the4y know if caught, they will be released on no cash bail—then be able to go to San Fran, under the same circumstances and commit crimes without a sweat of being jailed.  Feel safe in California?  Only if you are in a coma.

In February 2022, nearly 250 “Part One” crimes — which include acts of murder, rape, burglary, aggravated assault, arson and human trafficking — were reported, compared to 105 incidents in February 2021.

“The only reason why you’re gonna come this far, into this neighborhood, is because either a) you believe you’re gonna get away with it, or b) you’re not gonna get punished for it and the stats are showing that,” security expert Russell Stuart, owner of Force Protection Agency, said.

He adds that the criminals are getting younger, and he believes the gangs are sending them because L.A. District Attorney George Gascon is not punishing minors.  

KTLA reached out to the DA’s office for comment.

West Hollywood’s mayor and City Council told KTLA they didn’t want to speak on the matter until after they get their Public Safety Update at their next meeting Monday night.
