Critics Fume as Soros-backed DA George Gascón Considers Prosecuting 26-year-old as Juvenile

Critics are furious that Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is considering prosecuting a 26-year-old transgender woman for assaulting a 10-year-old girl in 2014 as a juvenile because the accused was just short of 18 at the time.

Hannah Tubbs, who is biologically male, has pleaded guilty to choking the girl in a bathroom stall, shoving her hands into the girl’s pants and sexually assaulting her.

Tubbs was only linked to the crime in 2019 through a DNA match. The crime was so notorious at the time that the L.A. County Board of Supervisors issued a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest,” the Los Angeles Times notes.

But now Gascón may seek a lenient sentence because of his blanket policy of not trying “juveniles” as adults. Tubbs may only receive probation, or could even be sentenced to a brief stay at a juvenile detention center.

There's Another Looting Crisis in LA Being Ignored by Democrats

Last year, aided and abetted by Democrat city and state leaders and their soft-on-crime prosecutors, crime sprees became something of a spectator sport. Viral videos showed dozens of people engaging in brazen smash and grab robberies of luxury goods in the Bay Area.

Companies such as CVS, Walgreens, and Target altered their operating hours and even closed locations after thieves would calmly shoplift and walk out the door without paying. Ritzy shopping centers such as The Grove in Los Angeles put up razor wire barricades in an attempt to dissuade would-be robbers from cleaning out merchandise. In all of these dystopian scenes, little if any punishment was ever handed down. Apparently thieves weren't content to stick with hitting high-end consumer outlets, though, and now they've spent months ransacking trains as they pass through Los Angeles.

Even as the powers that be in Los Angeles ignore the latest fad in illegal procurement of goods just as they did the smash and grabs, the videos from LA's railroad tracks speak for themselves:

Masked suspect in fatal stabbing of UCLA student Brianna Kupfer is filmed buying vape pen at 7-Eleven 30 minutes after murder: Cops reveal she texted friend to say 'a man was giving her a bad vibe' before she was killed in LA furniture store

• Police on Tuesday released chilling images of the man suspected of killing UCLA grad student Brianna Kupfer

Los Angeles police have released new video and photos showing a suspect in the fatal stabbing of UCLA grad student Brianna Kupfer, who was brutally slain at her job in a luxury furniture store.

The chilling video shows the unidentified suspect, whom the police say is homeless, calmly walking into a 7-Eleven store and buying a vape pen, just 30 minutes after allegedly knifing the young woman in cold blood.

Police say the wanted man was seen walking all throughout the area and entering several stores, speculating that he chose to attack Brianna after he found her working alone.

Brianna Kupfer, 24, was stabbed to death in a random attack last Thursday while she was working alone in a luxury furniture store in Los Angeles. She had texted a friend to say someone in the shop was 'giving her a bad vibe'

On Tuesday, authorities also announced a $250,000 reward for information leading to the murder suspect's arrest - with $200,000 coming from community donations and the rest from city funds.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore described the unidentified male suspect as African-American, 6 feet to 6 feet 5 inches tall, with a thin build and short dreadlocks.

UCLA student Brianna Kupfer's alleged Killer Arrested in Pasadena

Shawn Laval Smith, 31, is suspected of stabbing to death the 24-year-old UCLA graduate student Brianna Kupfer

Pasadena police arrested Brianna Kupfer's alleged killer Wednesday just a day after Los Angeles authorities released his identity.

Shawn Laval Smith, 31, is suspected of stabbing to death the 24-year-old UCLA graduate student during her shift at upscale furniture store Croft House in a random daylight attack.

Smith, who police believe is homeless, has an extensive record spanning both coasts. He was released on a misdemeanor charge back in October, 2020.

A law enforcement source told Fox News that Smith recently landed in jail in San Mateo after assaulting a police officer, and he had an active warrant in connection with the case after having his probation revoked on Nov. 30, 2021.

How Liberal media kept Brianna Kupfer story OFF their homepages and when they did run it they DIDN'T use his picture and made no mention of his enormous rap sheet

• Reports by liberal giants - including the Los Angeles Times, ABC News, CBS and CNN - inexplicably left out details about Shawn Laval Smith's violent past
• A picture of him - released by police in hopes the public might help find him - was also left off sites' landing pages

Left-leaning news outlets ignored the lengthy criminal history of Brianna Kupfer's alleged killer in their coverage - and even omitted his mugshot from their homepages.

Reports by liberal giants - including the Los Angeles Times, ABC News, CBS and CNN - inexplicably left out details about Shawn Laval Smith's violent past. A picture of him - released by police in hopes the public might help find him - was also left off sites' landing pages.

The LA Times, in its article, made no mention of Smith's previous arrests, or the fact he was free during the stabbing on a $1,000 bond related to a Los Angeles County misdemeanor in October 2020.

There was no mention of CNN's coverage of the alleged killer's rap sheet, either, although it did note that Smith was considered 'armed and dangerous' and the story did not appear on the publication's main homepage on Wednesday morning.

ABC News coverage was also scant; the publication acknowledged a 'violent crime spike' but did not include background on Smith's alleged pattern of offending and being released or a photograph of him.

The information was also omitted by NBC News, which instead focused on the fact the suspect was identified and a reward was being offered for his arrest.

CBS, meanwhile, used a photograph of Brianna on their homepage but focused the angle of their story on her text to a friend saying she was getting 'bad vibes' from someone in the store on the day she was stabbed.

As of Wednesday morning, the New York Times had not covered the story.

CBS News's homepage showed a picture of Brianna Kupfer but not her alleged attacker under a headline that focused on the text message she sent a friend saying she had a bad vibe about someone in the furniture store she worked at on the day of her murder

Moment Shoplifter struts behind counter of San Francisco Walgreens as staff watch helplessly, fills huge bag with stolen goods, then hurls BANANAS at shopper who stood up to him

A San Francisco shoplifter was filmed filling a bag with stolen goods behind the counter of a Walgreens store as staff stood helplessly and watched.

The heist took place on Tuesday at a Walgreens in the Richmond area of the city, and saw the brazen shoplifter hurl bananas and cookies at one man who confronted him.

Moments later, he was confronted by a male shopper, pictured left, but didn't take kindly to the check on his behavior...

San Francisco is BLOCKED from banning four 'drug dealers' from neighborhood rife with crime and overdose deaths after court rules it would violate constitutional right to travel

A California appeals court ruled that San Francisco could not block four suspected drug dealers from the inner-city Tenderloin district, a 50-square-block neighborhood rife with crime and drug use.

The ruling, which came on Friday, stemmed from San Francisco's attempted to ban 28 alleged drug dealers in 2020 who frequented the downtown area, which has seen the city's largest number of overdose deaths.

An enforcement of the ban what shot down in court last May, with the city appealing the decision as officials specifically named alleged drug dealers Christian Noel Padilla-Martel, Victor Zelaya, 27, Jarold Sanchez, 23, and Guadaloupe Aguilar-Benegas, 28, as individuals who needed to be kept out of the district.

In the appeals court's 3-0 ruling against the ban, Justice Marla Miller said the city could not ban people from geographic areas as it infringes on the constitutional right to travel.

Leave it to the dumba$$ liberals to spend time and taxpayer money trying to ban drug dealers from entering an area rather than simply arresting them and prosecuting them to the full extent of the law when they go there to sell drugs.

Moment Armed LA Muggers Wrestle man to ground, Steal his $60,000 Rolex and Pistol-Whip his Wife, as woke DA George Gascon faces recall vote

Two armed Los Angeles muggers pistol whipped a husband and wife in a supermarket parking lot in broad daylight to steal the man's $60,000 Rolex watch.

The video shows two men in black hoodies and gray sweatpants wrestling a man and a woman to the ground in a parking lot in broad daylight as the woman could be heard screaming for help.

The couple was unloading groceries into their car at the time, authorities say, when the unidentified men ran up to them and demanded the man's $60,000 Rolex watch.

Before he could respond, authorities say, one of the suspects pistol-whipped him and knocked him to the ground.

The second suspect then pistol whipped the woman he was with, and footage from the aftermath showed the two victims still on the ground daubing their heads.

Police discovered Guns and Ammunition at the homeless encampment's Underground Bunker

A commercial burglary incident led San Jose police to an underground bunker at a homeless encampment containing thousands of dollars in stolen items.

"The investigation led them to a homeless encampment," the San Jose Police Department said Tuesday on Twitter, adding that they located an "underground bunker" containing "approximately $100,000 worth of stolen goods."

Pictures included in the post show a bunker built into the side of a creek, with items recovered including dozens of power tools, construction equipment, and three shotguns accompanied by boxes of ammunition.

Police say the bunker was elaborate and was equipped with electricity, which they believed was "plugged into somebody else’s source."

Convicted Felon works security for West Hollywood after it Defunded Police

The operations manager of a security firm contracted to take over law enforcement duties from sworn deputies in West Hollywood, California, was once charged with murder and armed robbery in Georgia, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.

West Hollywood may be just 1.9 square miles, but its crime rate is among the highest in the nation, as 1 out of 174 people will be a victim of crime. It has an index of 8 — meaning it’s safer than just 8% of America’s cities, Neighborhood Scout reports.

Despite this, the West Hollywood City Council voted last month to replace four sheriff’s deputies with a team of civilian blue shirt ambassadors who will walk the city in a neighborhood policing concept.

Meanwhile, the operations manager since 2013 was convicted of charges of murder and armed robbery in Georgia in 1995, along with an accompanying drug charge. Court records show that the charge was downgraded to manslaughter and the person was allowed to complete his sentence in California.
