Santa Monica, a city once known for its beauty, now faces a surge in crime rates, escalating concerns among citizens. The rise is attributed to an ongoing homelessness crisis, coupled with alleged misguided policies from California’s Democratic leaders. A notable incident saw city councilman Phil Brock assaulted by a previously arrested and released homeless individual. The state’s authorities, despite skyrocketing crime rates, seem to focus more on ‘social justice’ issues, critics claim, while policies such as the zero-bail rule for nonviolent felonies in Los Angeles County are under scrutiny. As crime and disorder continue, some, including rapper ’50 Cent,’ have declared LA ‘finished,’ while cities like San Francisco witness a mass exodus of residents.
