Southern California is experiencing a violent crime wave prompting tourists to stay away from Los Angeles. Although the LAPD chief Michel Moore tried to assure people that crime is not out of control, residents are still unsafe.
“My message to anyone thinking about coming to Los Angeles especially during the holiday season is don’t, “Jamie McBride, the head of the LA Police Protective League, the union representing LAPD officers, said in a television interview.
McBride’s message stems from a wave of crime slamming in LA and surrounding areas.
“We can’t guarantee your safety. It is really, really out of control. I said it to people before, it’s like that movie ‘Purge,’ you know, instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, these people have 365 days to commit whatever they want,” said McBride.
Crimes continue to go rampant in the southern California area, but some of the latest victims were hit at the downtown Intercontinental Hotel on Tuesday morning. The robbers stole an estimated $100,000 in jewelry.
