Crime, particularly robberies/home invasions, in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley is out of control right now, despite voters giving Soros DA George Gascon the heave-ho and passing a ballot initiative to roll back many soft-on-crime Prop 47 provisions. In the last few months, at least four people have been killed in their homes by intruders – and that’s just the number I can think of off the top of my head. Residents are furious and so loud about their displeasure that even Mayor Karen Bass is starting to acknowledge their concerns. (Whether anything will actually happen, though, is another matter.
And now, quite a few residents are adding firearms to their home protection plan and at least one is very glad that he did. On Monday night, local news station KTLA reports, a Studio City man who encountered an intruder in his home “opened fire on the suspect” and “says he has no regrets.” While the reporter seemed to be a little surprised, we are not, especially since, as she says, “Another day, another burglary in the San Fernando Valley.”
Another day, another burglary in the San Fernando Valley… this time one of the homeowners was inside and opened fire on the suspect. We spoke to him and he says he has no regrets about shooting the suspect. take a look…. @KTLA pic.twitter.com/fgbFF4yKfL

I took a look at the video, as the reporter suggested, and was blown away by a few parts of it – and not the parts she might think would blow people away. First, Ms. Sarkissian said that the homeowner didn’t want to be on video, then proceeds to have her cameraman get the man’s face on video as he spoke to a neighbor from his car.
Second — well, second, third, fourth, and fifth could just be wrapped up into one large “What the flip” moment regarding Sarkissian’s interview with the neighbor, Kelli Morgan.
As the segment begins, Morgan’s leaning her head into the homeowner’s car window and asking him, “Did you actually shoot [the intruder], or did you just shoot at him?” What? Who cares? Why would someone ask that instead of, I dunno, expressing sadness that their neighbor had to go through that terror?
Then Morgan, who had no qualms about taking her 15 minutes of fame, says to Sarkissian, “This is the second time they’ve been robbed, so I guess you get more frustrated.” Gee, ya think?
Morgan says she’s lived there “twenty-five years, and there’s never been anything until the last couple of years.” Why is that? She was legitimately dumbfounded as to why that might be, but hazarded a guess:
“As the walls keep getting higher in the neighborhood, I think then there’s more interest in coming into the neighborhood from other areas. That’s all I can think of.”
Oh, sure, that must be it. Can’t even comprehend that it might have to do with the politicians she’s elected and the stupid policies they’ve enacted.
But never fear, Morgan is there to broadcast all of her neighbors’ safety protocols to the world:
“I know almost everybody on this street is — at minimum, has a Ring, if not. more. What else are you gonna do? You know, I’m not gonna carry a gun.
Instead of asking her what she’s going to do if an armed intruder comes into her home, Sarkissian allows Morgan to absolve her neighbor, the one who was faced with that terrible situation of having to shoot another human being to protect his home and family, of judgment. And in doing so, Morgan says the neighbor’s first name, and KTLA just left it in. Disgusting.
“Well, [neighbor’s name redacted] entitled to his opinion. I don’t agree with it.”
There you go, folks. We knew there were people that callous and stupid around us, but it’s still stunning to see it up close and personal.
