Democrats are running California into the ground.
Residents are fleeing the state in droves.
And video of one brazen crime in Gavin Newsom’s state will leave you speechless.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is desperate to become a national politician.
Newsom is hanging around the bullpen in case the Democrats choose to replace Joe Biden.
Meanwhile, Newsom and the Democratic supermajority in the legislature are destroying the state.
Pro-crime policies have allowed repeat offenders to stay on the street.
And one outrageous theft caught on film captured a criminal stealing iPhones from an Apple Store in Oakland in broad daylight.
Update: The viral video of a black male suspect stealing dozens of phones at an Apple Store near Oakland has resulted in an arrest. Tyler Mims is accused of brazenly stealing around $49,230 of merchandise. The @EmeryvillePD police car outside was empty.pic.twitter.com/WUdaFewnaK

Unsurprisingly, the alleged suspect has an extensive rap sheet, including domestic violence.

Thanks to rampant crime in major Democrat strongholds, quality of life is deteriorating for law-abiding citizens.
In Oakland, the situation has gotten so bad that both In-N-Out Burger and Denny’s shut down restaurants due to safety issues.
In-N-Out COO Denny Warnick said in a statement, “Despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies…We are grateful for the local community, which has supported us for over 18 years, and we recognize that this closure negatively impacts our associates and their families…Additionally, this location remains a busy and profitable one for the company, but our top priority must be the safety and wellbeing of our Customers and Associates — we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment.”
In-N-Out routinely has long drive-thru lines wrapped around the building, so the move was clearly made because of rising crime.
A guard for a security company said that he saw smash-and-grab robberies at the location routinely.
He told reporters, “On a regular day, I’d say five…On a bad day, I can’t even get a report in because it’s back-to-back.”
Denny’s put out a similar statement that read, “However, the safety and well-being of Denny’s team members and valued guests is our top priority…Weighing those factors, the decision has been made to close this location.”
The left-wing outrage mob often complain about “food deserts” and lack of industry in socio-economically depressed areas, but they never blame the high rates of crime on urban blight.
However, attitudes could be changing.
The Oakland chapter of the NAACP recently put out a statement that read, “Oakland residents are sick and tired of our intolerable public safety crisis that overwhelmingly impacts minority communities. Murders, shootings, violent armed robberies, home invasions, car break-ins, sideshows, and highway shootouts have become a pervasive fixture of life in Oakland. We call on all elected leaders to unite and declare a state of emergency and bring together massive resources to address our public safety crisis.”
At some point, Newsom and other Democrat leaders in the state have to be held accountable for what they have allowed to happen.
