You might say Congresswoman Karen Bass was robbed by reality. After her Baldwin Vista home was burglarized the other week, the progressive Democrat running for Mayor of Los Angeles says she can empathize with residents who fret about rising crime. But as mayor, would she do anything about it?
Ms. Bass has moderated her soft-on-crime views somewhat during the mayoral campaign as her opponent Rick Caruso, a real estate developer, pounds the city’s public safety problems. Robberies are up 18% so far this year from last year. Burglaries (15%) and motor vehicle thefts (14%) have also increased while arrests have declined 11%.
