    God I hope as many leftists as possible keep this same attitude.

    EVERYBODY knows crime is becoming a serious issue and everybody knows it's because of democrat policies.

    People will become so fed up with this crap that they'll quit voting for democrats simply for the sake of safety.

    So please, by all means, keep pretending and acting like there's no problem.

    We're having record numbers of -people murdered by guns men women and children all cross the country yet you re more worried about railroad yards being robbed. Isn't that one of the functions Pinkerton used to perform protecting our railroads. Maybe the railroads should again hire their own security forces????

    Crime in the US has always been an issue I can't understand why you think we never had crime before 2022, it just amazes me that people think it didn't exist nor that cops could ever stop crime from occurring. According to your type we never had jails or prisons until 2022 and politicians never had a crusade against crime in the history of the US. Wake up meinen freund and learn to protect yourself and your property just as I have done for over half a century because the cops don't have to and won't.

    I always assumed that these companies were on top of things:

    https://schneider.com/resources/whitepaper/cargo-safety

    I still find it stupefying that this sort of "looting of cargo trains" could even happen in the first place.

    From what I know of the Railyards in Detroit, NYC, and Chicago--Anybody trying that would last about 5 seconds.

    If this a "Cali thing", then Cali better get it together and figure it out (so, it doesn't happen again).
    Because, the fact that this was able to happen (in the 1st place) is beyond outrageous.

    As soon as he finds a nation where crime does not exist he will.

    California is not the owner of the rail line.

    No one on the left seems to be bothered by all those murders unless they’re committed by people who can be politically exploited, same with the victims. When was the last time anyone raised an eyebrow about a minority on minority murder or a murder committed by an illegal?

    It certainly is when the idiot politicians make or abolish policies that encourage more of it.

    Who makes the laws?

    Where is your outrage over rising crime? You are silent because most of those cities where these things happen are being run by officials who are the members of a party that you support.

    Cities run by Democrats and cities run by Republicans had increases in crime rates, what do you try to only make this about one of the two parties?



    President Trump has often said that the “most dangerous cities in America are run by Democrats,” but homicide rates are up 20 percent and more in many cities run by both political parties. City leaders across the country say the pandemic and economic fallout are big factors in driving the rate higher.

    Nobody has said or even hinted at ANYTHING you said.

    Instead of making **** up, why not actually try to respond to those you quote?

    AGAIN....NOBODY said or even hinted at there being no crime. Display a little honesty and integrity or go away.

    Sure, sure, this has NOTHING to do with the LA DA refusing to prosecute "low level crime". Here is the result of his progressive take:

    Enjoy your crime wave.

    Yet, this act was not a low-level crime act...You are obfuscating reality with fantasy because you have a political ax to grind.

    This is actually terrific news right up there with $4 gasoline, the looting of Walnut Creek, and now wholesale theft from trains that has been hidden from view.
    In a real country this would be a legal cul-de-sac from which a politician cannot escape - except in California, land of the unsuspicious voter.
    It will hit the front pages for a day or two and then be dropped and forgotten. Why? We just can’t do it anymore.

    If you can't name them then try to use the correct pejorative.

    Or find a reasonable approximation. I live in a very low crime area. There are about 5 murders a year in my country. I have no worries walking down the street at night. In the city I am always alert.

    Sure it is "completely unacceptable".
    Just like Cruelty to Animals and Armed Robbery.

    There are MANY Things that are "Completely Unacceptable"...

    Unfortunately, those "completely unacceptable" things are NOT the Subject of THIS Thread...

    THIS, Thread is about Freight Train Looting in California.

    Anyway, back to this railway crime in California.
    I am still am amazed that U.P. had such lax security.
