California's Crime Crisis is getting worse 

John legend

A gun/grenade can save you, if not two will probably do😂

I think it’s a lie. Why ??

I like prop 47...its incentivizes the homeless to go to California from Texas...Reduces TX tax burden...this is what the ppl of California wanted...so we benefit all around...

Don't forget the people that stood behind that. Guess who is real quiet now. You don't see anyone supporting that here in the comments. I wonder how that is. I don't get it, same with police defunding. If that is Proposition 47 I'm sorry, am from Germany and clueless :D But people driving their cars in stores and stealing shit, this "hood rat" mentality. Imagine someone stole from them or broke their shit. They'd lose their temper real fast.

Democracy was a mistake.

''The public sucks, fuck hope'' ~ George Carlin

The question is were they really elected, Or did the machines do it?

Yup the mess started in 2016 we need someone new ... No more Biden or Trump

Trump 2024!!! I would vote for anyone who promises to declare martial law and arrest all the traitors. This includes you

With having more security, the repercussion is an asswhooping

Except if they are white, then they get serious repercussions. But if they're black it's because of sOcIoEcOnOmIc rEaSoNs.

Exactly

the crime will be if you stop someone from stealing, you will go to jail.

It's not just unfair, it's ruining the state for the working class *and* the antisocial rejects who do this kind of shit. Who's gonna want to sell anything in Cali if this continues? Nobody. The state is doomed at this rate. Enjoy your South Africa 2.0

You really think the democrats that run that shithole state care about the average 9-5 worker?

California got what it wanted (this).

Its a completley broken system.

I am also baffled. We need more no crime allowed signs put around

This ia why Arab countries have Syaria Law. Your hands got chopped if ya caught stealing

@@longlost2518 LMAO, ROFL, I needed that.

@@izzuddinmnasir4884 Please edit your post, it is called Sharia law. Sharia law is a set of Islamic religious laws that govern the daily lives of Muslims, including religious rituals, finances, and investments. Sharia law is derived from the Quran, Islam's holy book, as well as the Sunnah and Hadith, the deeds and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. Not to be confused with Madea's Law. Madea's Law for allows a person (usually a Mom or Grandmother) to beat you with-in a inch of your life and afford less protections than Sharia Law.

guess the race :p

​@@vespiireally was that necessary

And keep in mind this is the most populous state and has one of highest immigration rates. Does no one feel bad for these immigrants who escape the hardships in asia AND the regular population.

That’s the politicians and the people here there pretty fucking stupid 😂

What a delusional way of seeing bail and funny how you probably always support a Corp who should hire security and they probably write of theft as a business lost but I guarantee u say nothing off the people everyday who you see that u probably could help nothing more than a voice 4 the Corp who laughs at u definitely won't speak up 4 u but y'all quick 4 LV

All about getting the votes.

DEMOCRATS That’s who.

THEY DESERVE ALL HE CRIME THEY GET

GET WOKE

​@@douglasmatz4635I totally agree with you on everything you saying the problem is is they're moving out of that shit hole and they're moving to communities in town that we're doing just fine and raising the prices on everything all while still voting for the same shit that destroyed their city and then they wonder why nobody likes them

You realise our emotions/feelings is what drives us through the day lol

@@mr.crowgamer6250most people are driven by logic the only people who rely on their emotions to handle all of the problems in life are the alphabet people

​@@AleksandarT10not really man, first European countries economy is slowing down,then there are power crisis And the most important is taxes, European countries have high taxes and if you compare it with the US, US federal taxes are pretty low American dream still exists in a lot of people, be it eastern Europe or south asian countries

The new American dream is believing that there are people wanting to move to America

@@AleksandarT10 yep, I second that :)

@@divitkarekar5803 OK, but you have 2 Easter Europeans here telling you otherwise. There are things more important than taxes and you can have multiple citizenships for tax purposes. Also in Western European countries at least you can feel the taxes you pay are doing something to improve your life quality. In America - not so much. If I pay taxes I expect the police to chase shoplifters regardless of the amount stolen and for the Parliament to come up with better solutions to crime than just redefining prosecutable crimes.

@@mirianadimitrova2112 you are ready to pay such high taxes for it?i would agree that taxes are being put to use in West euro countries like good public transport and food healthcare system But you pay 40-50% taxes in Western Europe meanwhile for a similar salary in US you just pay 25% taxes,so the amount you saves in taxes you can buy private health insurance,as for public transport people don't really use them in US and use cars instead,even in cities in US where there is decent public transport they prefer cars So mind that you pay huge amount in taxes for it

Look for real reviews not fake news

The purpose of this proposition was to be more lenient on criminals who committed petty crimes and keep them out of jail. We wanted to empty the jails of petty criminals and put in there the hard core criminals like the murderers and drug dealers. That was the whole idea behind this proposition. These smash and grabbers that go into upscale department stores are grabbing merchandise worth way more than $950.00. They need to be caught, charged and put in prison.

It depends on which part of the city.

You advocated for this system!

SF is done, just get out. Post apocalyptic dystopia created by progressive liberal policies run amok, there is no hope, vote with your feet and leave.. don't spend your tourist dollars there, don't pay any taxes there, just defund the dysfunction , it's a No Go Zone.

Dont forget if you park on the street they're going to steal your catalytic converter which is about $2000.

@@ChrisRGB Yes, thats the 80's model you avoid areas around downtown and stay in the touristy areas and the suburbs. Starting in the 90's city planners spent a lot of attention to urban renewal, and made the areas around downtown safe and nice. We are simply going back to how it was in the 80's. Dems gave it a dirty word, gentrification, and seem to intentionally be letting those areas decay again.

I thought voting democrat was the best. Lmfao. Oh also. Banning guns will make people safe. These are the fruits of stupidity. Vote blue

they need new people

they NEED TO SHARE the wealth...... wealth amongst poor is NUTS! more nuts than the poor taking it!

Thank a Democrat

America could use new leadership in general....

Lol who would’ve thought the secret to making crime go down was to legalize crime.

Everything has a cause & effect

It's so dumb that they went from 1 year in jail to 1 hour in jail. Was there no middle ground when they passed that law? Like 3 months? So weird.

What do you mean? Crime isn't going up in their gated communities...Yet. It's only a matter of time, though. And when their neighborhoods are effected, they'll move to a safer Red State, vote for Blue policies, and do it all over again

wow didn't know John Legend is this stupid...

I’m glad I could shed some light into it 🙏🏼

What happens when you give a green card to the BLM movement. Police are too afraid to tackle this. Positions are too afraid to be label as racist. Since when trying to solve the problem you become the problem?

The politicians dont want to admit that they created this.

Same shiiit here in Nyc! Every time I stopped by CVS, Rite Aid, or any supermarkets and clothing stores, TJMax, someone would step in with their wide arms, and wiped out all the stuff from shelves or racks onto their large custom-made bags. Then they just walked out like that. The current DAs and mayor's law is that you, security guards, or anyone can't touch them. Stores and shops are shutting down left and right. Woke is running wild in our political culture and judicial system. There is lawlessness, and DAs have become activists!

Hard reality: Nothing kind, caring or compassionate about a person being "progressive," a person feeling liberal

LA police department put out a travel advisory a year and half ago: 'We Can't Guarantee Your Safety': Head Of LAPD's Police Officers' Union Warns Tourists Away

the UK isn't getting any better in that department either

UK got crime issues as well

As a child refugee coming from Southeast Asia after the Vietnam War, for the most part, living in the U.S. is living life set on easy-mode if you're not a f--king moron or afflicted with physical ailments. You don't have to have an iPhone, expensive accessories or even a luxury car to enjoy life here. For some f--king reason, a lot of Americans choose the hard life on purpose.

How's Brexit going?

It's basically become a form of socialism. Those who steal are effectively being subsidised by those who don't.

You have no idea how wrong you are lol. In a smaller chain, maybe. In Walmart? Lol. You have no clue as to their revenue and what they don’t give a fuck about numbers wise

That’s crazy wow!

It's only a part of it. And not even a major one

Diversity is our strength

Just get rid of 10% of the population and all problems will be solved

That's effect of narrow minded retards. They think they are so smart and that their plan have only positives.

Private prisons are dumb anyways.

@@TheLegitAlpha no they arent. we need at least as many prison-cells as we have criminals. if that means more private prisons, then im ALL for it.

People totally brainwashed by MSM voted for it...

This is all being engineered by the power elites. They're using homeless and poor people, the alphabet people, climate activists and all the other leftists nut jobs as tools to advance their agenda. When they run everybody out and crash property values they are gonna come in and scoop those properties up . When that happens you can expect to see a homeless , poor person , disabled etcetera genocide. And the rest of them will just be thrown under the bus as they have served a purpose and are no longer useful and have become a liability.

But don’t republicans also believe in paying less in taxes?? Prop 47 would have passed just as easily in a red state. Lol

California is still a great state

​@@BleuSaphir great for shoplifting.

@@chronicbullets6751 Not unique to only California. 🙄🙄🙄

@@BleuSaphir It’s great for you cuz you’re one of those smash and grab dude. 😂

Idk if it’s legal to shoot a shoplifter in those states either but go off I guess

​@@cw214Florida is a great state. None of this crime and tax bullshit.

Where are you at now? Same 80/90s rad here…

If taxes are so damn high in California, where exactly does that revenue go? For example, why is it not being used for social housing, so poor people will be housed and streets will be cleaner and safer? Many Americans complain California is too left wing and I can't stop laughing. How can a wealthy left wing state/nation can have so many homeless people, almost no job security (at will employment) and such crumbling infrastructure? Doesn't make sense.

​@@ramochaiyou do realise you just described the whole US and not just a state...so many hungry and homless, so much crime, so much very poor infastructure, so much corruption,so much racism, so much injustice...there is also a positive productive side but negative realities out weigh the good so much that they'r almost invisible.

If you don't know what you are talking about, don't comment.

Yep. It's legalizing theft. Of course, fewer people in jail and no one bothers to report the thefts.

I’m sure it is, when you are rich and can have armed security.

John should take his family for a long walk through the streets of SF

He didn't get his tires slashed. They were slashed by someone.

John legend is an idiot. you must be nuts to let a musician decide your life. I think Elvis would make a better decision

Step one goes to voting in Vivek then you can do step two.

I think you are incapable of understanding the situation. That's one of the dumber comments I've seen here. yeah... in a state that is trying to reduce tax money going to criminals in jail by not jailing non-violent offenders will make an exception for people who prosecute crime, make laws that people are violating (are you advocating for anarchy and a state with no laws??), and politicians who represent the voters who voted them in...... WOW. anarchy, fascism (no government that represents the will of the people) and no justice system.... GOOD IDEA BUD. Really big thinker there. Glad the internet allows you to feel like your stupid opinion matters because without the internet no one would listen to your stupid thoughts

Also find all those who voted for it, that happened to move away after it passed. You'll be amazed to see they're mostly from Florida and Texas.

@@OddOtter707yah the migration map states florida and texas gained about 348 k new ppl vs california lost 380

no its an entitled culture thing

@@spudspuddy Which is also due to narcissism.

Speaking of narcissism, of course John "Legend" had to chime in..

@@spudspuddy normal people are becoming entitled and they should be. You think corporations have gotten off Scott free without any theft, abuse or vandalism of the normal human life? You think their greed doesn’t extend beyond borders? people should be entitled. now is violence justified? thats not for me to judge.

@@BoxOfCurryos You think they're stealing from corporate owned stores only bud???? Wtf! Did you even watch the video? They're stealing from the average person. People who worked for their sh*t. They're stealing from immigrant owned convenience stores. You know mfers who came here without nothing and worked hard for their sh*t. Some of those people, shot dead. DEAD! But go ahead, defend degeneracy from these people. And buddy, that's narcissistic in nature. Saying that people have every right to break the law and steal from random people because they have a hard time is narcissistic. Trying to paint the idea that their victims are bad, evil people to justify targeting them when you don't know their background is narcissistic. Trying to paint every store that was a victim as corporate owned is also narcissistic. This type of mentality have killed people not only in America but the country I'm from in the Caribbean. INNOCENT PEOPLE!

Haha! Bumped up prices so everything is above 950 🤣

no the stores will all close and only sell online

​@@spudspuddythey should. Too much scum out there.

The store will do it regardless

@@luisvilla799 sounds like your a thief

they didnt break in. How about those thugs that actually did it?

Honestly holding politicians accountable for their mistakes would probably fix 70% of the world's problems...

Yes, there need to be massive lawsuits filed, especially for crimes committed by repeat offenders.

Ppl voted for it. Let the voters deal with it

But you better be ready to cash up when they falsely stop you, you better not reach for that glove compartment buddy or you will be shot "Bu but my license is in there" *Nice try buddy* TAZER TAZER TAZER.

You had brand new kids stolen?😬

@@theMyouknow Cops aren't that interested in you. Follow orders, it's a matter of self-respect and not being a degenerate.

😂😂😊😊

They're probably short handed and didn't have enough man power to follow up.

why call the cops if they’re extremely underfunded 🤷🏾‍♂️

Even if you had the training and capacity, chances are you'd get arrested and sentenced a year or 2 in prison for vigilante justice while the criminal walks free cuz of prop 47. What she said is a great idea, but nobody will follow through not only cuz most people are spineless, but also cuz its pointless when the CA justice system treats criminals better than you.

The real battle comes after the shots fired. In Cali, defenders get punished. Unless u a fat cat elite or have ties to one.

In CA, if you fight with the thief and cause any casualties, you must bear the risk that you will be prosecuted. The law will be strict to you (not like so lovely to the thief)

Hi I’m the girl! You’re completely right. I wasn’t prepared to speak, but I do stand by the fact that ONE person alone isn’t enough to stop anything. My whole point is: EVERYONE and multiple people CAN make a difference in possibly stopping something. I realize that it sounds delusional and crazy and like a “fantasy” scenario, but ultimately, we cannot keep blaming everything on one party alone. I also talked about me being european and my family but that part didn’t make it in. During communism, many people stood together and created a change in order to either remove or replace their government. (An example of this is communist Romania where the communist leader was actually executed). You had families protecting others, creating secret passageways to smuggle those who were a target and would be killed, taking the government down altogether, etc. Thanks so much for your thoughts on this. ❤

You'd love to shoot people, wouldn't you?

Then the 13% will scream, pout and cry about all of the innocent black people getting shot, killed and beat up because they are the ones responsible for the overwhelming amount of this crime and theft.

liberals wont allow that lol

Their property doesn’t override life! The fix is to address the wealth gap and government that props up corporations as it punishes Ppl that are simply hungry.

A certain group of advocates do not want this!

Yeah there is never a valid reason to steal from someone else. I agree with you.

If compassion doesn't come with a lot of honesty, common sense & ethics, it's anything but compassionate.

@@uptin you think in black and white. Life is in color. Hope you mature with more empathy.

​@@sohu86xNO.

I’m liberal too but never advocated for this kind of behavior. I think certain things should not be a crime like smoking cannabis in public or being trans but robbing people is never okay. It’s a shame republicans are too hard on everything and democrats are too soft on everything. Makes me feel like we can’t win. Vote Republican and lose freedom or vote Democrat and lose your wallet lol

Your president is probably a leftist liberal just like the ones running the state of CA. It is their ideology about protecting criminals, not being too harsh on them which is basically indicating that they are criminals themselves. It is a psychological mechanism to help cope with their guilt for committing crimes, they feel their conscience hurt from their crimes so they will feel sympathy for other criminals. Now honest, law abiding, hard working citizens will likewise, feel sympathy for honest, law abiding, hard working citizens. Any honest and law abiding governor, President or political leader will not feel sympathy for criminals.

Your president is a Communist 👎

Did they not report that they let out over 20,000 that were in jail from stealing after that law was passed. What do you think they are doing right now? Helping the old lady cross the street or do more stealing with a law that supports stealing? Hint: The later gets you free products.

The people who moved from Texas and Florida voted for this and left when they could. 😂

Rudy Guiliani cleaned up NYC with his Broken Windows policy. Everything gets prosecuted including graffitti and broken windows. It worked. The city came roaring back to life

@@Danny-cl4cl keep voting?

I'd *LOVE* to get out of CA. :) But I've no coin, connections, clout, crews, computer code, control, communities, nor opportunities. So, basically, I'm stuck here until I go broke (which will be quite soon). Or else, until I start finding some excellent ways to steal $12k on at least 6-12 separate, untraceable occasions. I doubt the latter will be possible or plausible, but by EOY 2026, it'll probably be my last and only hope. No joke. Otherwise, I'll be forced to rush a cop while holding a stick or knife so that I can make a clean exit, ya know?! TBH... I'm ready. Well... I'll be ready by then (2027 and forward).

California state government

They're not stupid, its done on purpose to destroy the middle class. Whats gonna happen are big stores will resort to online shopping and all thats left will be the mom and pop shops to rob...eventually the crime will shut them down leaving a baron city. The goal is to destroy America piece by piece and very slowly so you don't recognize it until its too late.

“Legalize all crime and there won’t be any crime anymore.”A democrat.

The government is made by the people who voted for it???

*the people. Majority voted for the government politicians. You get what you vote. Democracy.

You know how much money it takes to house an inmate? Where does that money come from? Taxes... so when people bitch and complain that CA has high taxes, a huge amount goes to police and jails.... Clearly they need to increase taxes for both of those. Republicans just sit on their thumbs and point fingers but they wouldn't spend money to fix the problem f they were in charge, it would get so much worse. And Dems idea to try to not jail non-violent criminals to reduce prison populations clearly wasn't the answer. but they tried. Next step is increasing taxes and getting more cops and jailing more people... Not like people don't care. It's a complicated financial issue and people LOVE to complain about taxes....

@@surojsarkar6054 Actually, most crimes are not done by Blacks but by the white majority.

CA residents have to admit their democratic process isn't working anymore. While all this goes on, they are sitting in Sacramento talking about reparations the state does not have the money to pay. When people this radical get elected, the results are predictable. These are not people who think rationally. By a combination of public union votes, racial politics, and yes cheating at the ballot box Democrats have created a situation where they will never be voted out of power.
