A couple years ago California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared his state to be a model for the nation.
It really depends on what kind of “model” you’re looking for, because the Los Angeles Police Department shared some crime stats that are disturbing to say the least:
Tonight, we are saddened to share some shocking crime stats.
16 days into 2021, and Homicides in South LA are up 150% compared to last year.
It’s our shared responsibility—law enforcement, community members and elected officials—to stop this senseless violence. pic.twitter.com/Xd0IiO4sed

This is… not good:
Victims Shot in South LA are up 742% compared to last year.
This tragic continuation of gun violence, primarily concentrated in our most disadvantaged neighborhoods, must stop.
Gang Interventionists are trying…but we must all work together to stop the violence—to save lives. pic.twitter.com/22hOj4wYiU

And yet those in Democrat-run cities keep voting for Democrats.
Who could have seen this coming? This is just so shocking and unexpected. https://t.co/MULnssHAjh

Pelosi, Newsom, Garcetti, and Schiff are doing great things for L.A. and California. Democrat leadership at work. Stay in lockdown, schools refuse to open, vaccine available but not given, homicides on the rise. California is a shining light on how NOT to run a city and state.

How is this possible with all the common sense gun safety laws in CA? https://t.co/kG251pB5k4

Let’s also not forget the massive changes L.A. County’s new district attorney put into place. Way to go, Democrat “leadership.”
