, train robberies<\/a> no longer invoke the western movie imagery that has been long played for years in Hollywood; it now represents a real threat. In the months leading up to the holidays and now after, the Los Angeles rail tracks are littered with trash as far as the eye can see. An image that even Gov. Newsom admitted looked like a scene from \u201ca Third World country. Train theft has become a common occurrence in LA, as robbers board trains and take many UPS, Amazon, and many other packages heading out to the country. Packages found include important COVID testing supplies. Many packages were found unopened, tossed out and thrown on the side of the tracks. Many experienced delays in their packages and many others simply didn\u2019t arrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is being done about this? Union Pacific released a statement saying, \u201cWhile criminals are being caught and arrested, charges are reduced to a misdemeanor or petty offense and the person is back on the street in less than 24 hours after paying a nominal fine.\u201d Newsom, who supported the legislation making this possible, took to the tracks to clean up the debris left behind by the criminals his policies support. Newsom has done his best to avoid and deflect criticism for his part in California\u2019s policies on lax crime. In a statement, Newsom asked, \u201c<\/span>How do we make sure we don’t have to keep coming back? How do we secure this site? How do we do a better job in making sure that this doesn’t have to continue to happen?\u201d then proceeded to give no answers.<\/span><\/p>\n Instead claiming that, \u201cThis is the supply chain.\u201d Prosecutors have given answers to Newsom but they fall on deaf ears. Fresno County\u2019s District Attorney gave a scathing criticism of Newsom recently saying that he was either \u201cignorant\u201d or a \u201cliar\u201d, stating that the policies he helped push are not doing anything to stop the rising crime in California. Others, like state Senate Republican Leader Scott Wilk, points out that, \u201cCriminals know how to exploit California\u2019s policy for their gain,\u201d an argument that has become increasingly more clear. As of yet, Gov. Newsom has given little in terms of solutions.<\/span><\/p>\nPhoto Cred: AP Photo\/Ashley Landis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
