More than a dozen Los Angeles gangs are targeting some of the city’s wealthiest residents in a new and aggressive manner, sending out crews in multiple cars to find, follow and rob people driving high-end vehicles or wearing expensive jewelry, according to police.

In many cases, they’re making off with designer handbags, diamond-studded watches and other items worth tens of thousands of dollars — if not more — and then peddling them to black-market buyers who are willing to turn a blind eye to the underlying violence, police said.

Good

edit: this is a petty, unprincipled, and bait-y post. any response will be ignored. i would'nt've put this edit up but people are pestering me

rare gang member W

aint tht how Pop Smoke got killed

but yall itt saying this is good...i dont get it

"buyers who are willing to turn a blind eye to the underlying violence, police said."

the irony

the ROBBERIES of the RICHEST are always a W

edit: OP originally said " the ROBBERIES of RICH WHITES are always a W"

history has proven these robberies doesnt exclude non-whites...

U advocating for people getting robbed, but As soon as a mf gets shot yall will be like " when will this senseless violence stop??" dont make sense to me fr

Mixed feelings about this

I dont care and i dont not care

rich people make their wealth off the stolen value of their employees labor and they can afford to not live with "diamond studded watches" and "handbags"

and for the people who are unsure of the "violence", what about the violence that the poverty these scumbags turn a blind eye to endears and actively exploit to become rich

As soon as innocent working class people get shot *

Let’s not get it twisted

Besides, you don’t get rich without doing the f***ed up s*** rich white people do

Hit them all with RICO lol

Real

The gang members are simply getting back what has been stolen by the rich

I'm sure there are robberies like this that do occur. However I'm not gonna trust an LAPD narrative about its scale.

You dont care if a non working class bystander is shot?

People itt think these gangs are gonna run up millionaire/billionaire homes lol

The most their gonna do is rob some middle class people.

🚨🚨🚨Protocol "Eat the Rich" is now in avtion

This not a drill nor tweet, i repeat - this is not a drill, nor a tweet 🚨🚨🚨

societal decay
