Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has released 1,700 inmates from county facilities and is ordering gun stores in the county closed. Fox 11 reports the gun store closures are part of the coronavirus stay-at-home order while the release of the inmates is an attempt to slow the spread of the virus in county facilities.Villanueva is the Director of Emergency Operations, which means “all FEMA requests go through him, and all National Guard requests go through him.”He said, “When we’re communicating the shelter in place or the safer at home, there’s a lot of anguish, however, the people who have to enforce it are public safety,

Typical liberal dreaming...I'm sure the 1,700 newly released inmates will practice social distancing once they're released. The left turns everything they touch into dung.

Arggg! How will I ever get my heard wrapped around this?
Release a bunch of Felons and then prevent GrandMama from buying her first 380ACP Pocket Pistol so she could use it against the just released Felons who will break her door down, steal her stuff, rape and then slit her throat.
Now, that is real Marxist/Commie Logic. Pleeez, Anybody, Gag me with a Ginsue Knife and bring me back to my senses! My brain simply hurts with this thought.....Argg! DOUBLE ARGGGGG........

It's beginning to look like a lot of liberals with a little bit of authority are coming out and showing their true colors. Did anyone realize how many tin-pot dictators were hiding in plain site? This virus sure should have opened a bunch of eyes to the goals of the liberals/ democrats!

If Sheriff Baca could go - and even end up in prison - after all of his years, Villanueve is definitely damaged goods. This makes him even more vulnerable. Buh-bye…
He should know that those with evil intent will find weapons and ammunition, supplied by equally evil, enterprising persons. It was ever so.

From the end of the article:
F’OX LA’s Bill Melugin tweeted there is an effort underway to add gun stores to Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D) “essential” business list, which would prevent the sheriff from enforcing the shut down.

My husband says the gun store owners should just leave their stores with the doors open. With a sign saying, 'don't steal anything worth more than $950, that way the cops won't arrest you.'
I like the idea but don't think it would work. LOL...

He's right - -
- - we can't have inmates infecting each other. They have to infect all the rest of us too.
Good move.

During the Rodney King riot I saw first-hand how thin the veneer of civilization is, and the human ugliness it usually conceals. TK was still LAPD and a Major with the Cal. Natl. Guard. When the Guard was called he came home and swapped his blues for camo. I did not see or hear from him for four days. TK knew I didn't need to be coddled and I knew he had to have a mind free from personal worry to do his job. I drove from home in San Pedro to LAX for work those days with his detective special on my lap. From my office in the old tower I watched buildings burning from downtown to Hollywood and begin to make their west towards the airport. One night a building in San Pedro went up in flames, only six blocks from our townhouse. Six months later we bought our homestead/refuge in the mountains of Mendocino County.
I represented the Dept. of Airports before the City Council and committee meetings. I spent a lot of time in council chambers and saw my birth city being systematically ruined by coke heads. (A councilman was busted for snorting coke while parked on a public street, before going into his community meeting.) About six years after the riot TK retired from both the PD and the Guard. My job was driving me crazy. In May of 1999 we decided it was time to bug out before the city fell into ruin and became unmanageable. We are so glad to be here at our Fort Serenity.
LA was magic in the 50's-70's. I was a beach bunny California girl with my own car at 16. It was golden. It breaks my heart to see my birthplace is now the City of Fallen Angels.

LA is a messed up as Portland is, with the combining of jobs that should be staying completely separated. Portland mayor is also the Commissioner, which means the PD is a political arm of the City Hall. Now we find out the Sheriff is also the LA FEMA director as well? This is not going to end well, not as long as this guy is Sheriff.
The optics of the release of close to 2K inmates, combined with seemingly denying citizens the right to defend themselves is some of the worst I have seen in a long time. And I live in Oregon, which is bad enough.

“I understand from CDC studies that it is 4 times more likely for someone to be shot if there is a gun in the house. “
In my eyes it takes a damn fool to make that statement.
That’s what they are in the house for idiot.

Even if you rush down and go through all of California's baloney stuff and the federal background check, and the gun store isn't out of guns.....you will wait ten days in California to pick it up.
I heard that the closings meant even if you had a gun coming out of the stupid ten day wait, you couldn't get it.
They just do not want people to be able to defend themselves.

It's time to start giving these people what they have been and are trying to force on us. Lock them up with the worst criminals. Throw in their families too; they need to know how unsafe they make life for us.

#25, I was in Long Beach for an engineering conference when the King riots blew up. Needed batteries for a small radio to listen to news, went to a local mall. EMPTY. Not one person. I kept thinking I had wandered into someplace I shouldn't be. All stores open, no people, no clerks. I went into a CD store, empty, called out, a clerk popped up, stocking a low shelf. He sold me batteries, and told of a night of terror in 'the hood' with cars burning and shots being fired on his street. He tried to sleep with the couch pulled in front of the front door, table and chairs blocking the back door and his shotgun beside him, terrified.
We flew home late that afternoon, airport nearly empty, too. As the plane headed east, I saw a HUGE opaque black-brown smoke cloud rising from literally several square miles. I could only see on the edges, but counted 60 separate fires along the edge as we flew by.
I was never happier to be leaving some place. I'm a California native, but left long ago, still visit
family and friends about every year or so. Sad to see where it is now.
