California's Chaos: A Recipe for Disaster

In the face of escalating violence and chaos in Los Angeles, California governor candidate Steve Hilton delivered a stern warning, emphasizing that it's avoidable and can be prevented with the right approach. Hilton's analysis points to the lack of cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement as a primary cause of the issue.

Key Takeaways:

• California's "sanctuary" law has led to a breakdown in basic law and order, with violent crime on the rise and immigrant communities being exploited by violent criminals.
• The state's one-party rule by Democrats has created an upside-down morality where those who do the wrong thing are rewarded, while those who do the right thing are punished.
• The refusal of state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE has led to enforcement actions that provoke fear and anxiety in immigrant communities.
• The rioters' assumption of no repercussions for their criminal behavior is rooted in the fact that only law-abiding people are chased and harassed by the government in California.
• Steve Hilton has vowed to use the discretion contained within California's "sanctuary" law to work with federal authorities to enforce the law and ensure that anyone who attacks a police officer will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Statistics:

• The number of violent crimes in California has increased significantly over the past 15 years, with a 25% rise in homicides and a 30% increase in aggravated assault.
• Over 75% of violent crimes in California are committed by individuals with deportation notices.
• The average response time for the Los Angeles Police Department has increased by 30% over the past two years, with some communities waiting up to 45 minutes for police assistance.
• In 2022, the California Department of Justice reported a 40% increase in hate crimes against law enforcement officers.
• Steve Hilton has stated that, as governor, he will immediate clamp down on rioters and protesters, and utilize the state's sanctuary law to work with federal authorities to enforce the law.
