LA Business Owner Fed Up with Democrats After Being Burglarized: ‘Enough!
LA Business Owner Turns on Democrats After Becoming Victim of Burglary: ‘I’m Sick of It’
Like a blindly devoted wife finally figuring out that her abusive husband is never going to change his ways, some California Democrats are slowly waking up to the reality that life under a Democratic administration can be Groundhog Day when it comes to crime.
A Los Angeles business owner whose company was targeted by thieves on Thursday lashed out at the Democrats he voted for who have done nothing to stop the rising crime in the city, according to KTTV-TV in Los Angeles.
Ryan Baggaley told the station that a group of burglars used a stolen vehicle to smash through a security gate and enter Delta Construction & Electric Co. in the Glassell Park neighborhood around 4 a.m., destroying his gate and making off with thousands of dollars worth of musical instruments, audio equipment, and construction tools.
Surveillance footage showed the thieves driving a blue Kia Soul hatchback through the locked gate and then rushing to load items into the car.
Baggaley said the police told him the vehicle was stolen from an LAPD impound yard which was recognizable by a distinguishing chalk mark on the window.
He told KTTV that after the alarm company woke him up at 5:03 a.m., he rushed to the site, getting there before the police and hoping to “at least take down a few of them.” However, the criminals were gone.
“I voted for [LA Mayor] Karen Bass. I voted for [President Joe] Biden. I voted for [California Gov.] Gavin Newsom,” Baggaley said, naming three Democrats. “I’m sick of it.”
Another brazen break-in caught on camera. Another L.A. business owner fed up:
“I voted for Karen Bass. I voted for Biden. I voted for Gavin Newsom. I’m sick of it. At some point you have to give me a reason to vote for you again.”@FOXLA pic.twitter.com/EKGtDE5rb6

According to the Public Policy Institute of California, in 2022, California had a 15.7 percent increase in the rate of commercial burglary, defined as stealing more than $950 of merchandise, over the pre-pandemic rate. Robbery rates of commercial establishments also rose 13.3 percent from 2019 to 2022.
Has crime gotten out of control?
- Yes
- No
A major reason for this rise in crime is California’s Proposition 47, which, according to Fox News, “effectively gives shoplifters and addicts the green light to commit crimes as long as the merchandise they steal or the drugs they take are less than $950 in value.”
As multiple X users pointed out, residents of California are getting what they voted for.
Elections have consequences.

Better to admit the error and then change, than to double down and continue the pattern. I see way too many doing the latter, much prefer the former.
Baggaley’s frustration is understandable. As a business owner, he has every right to expect support and protection from the government. However, it seems that the Democrats he had faith in have let him down.
Crime rates in Los Angeles have been on the rise in recent years. From burglaries to car thefts, residents have been living in fear and frustration. This incident at Delta Construction & Electric Co. is just one example of the countless crimes plaguing the city.
It is disheartening to see someone who supported the Democratic leaders express such disappointment. Baggaley’s statement reflects the growing sentiment among voters who once believed that Democrats would address the issue of crime effectively.
As the saying goes, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” The blind loyalty to a political party should not overshadow the lived experiences and realities faced by individuals like Baggaley. It is time for Democrats, especially those in positions of power, to listen to their constituents and take action.
Crime prevention and law enforcement should be top priorities for any government. The safety and security of its citizens should never be compromised. While it is impossible to eradicate crime entirely, it is the responsibility of elected officials to implement effective strategies to minimize it.
Baggaley’s frustration highlights the need for stronger policies to curb rising crime rates. It is not enough to simply voice concerns and sympathize with victims. Concrete action is necessary to make a tangible difference.
Furthermore, this incident raises questions about the effectiveness of crime prevention measures in Los Angeles. How did the thieves manage to steal a vehicle from an LAPD impound yard? How were they able to bypass security measures? These are issues that need to be addressed promptly and thoroughly.
As the city grapples with rising crime rates, it is crucial for Democrats to acknowledge the failures and shortcomings in their approach. Only by doing so can they regain the trust and support of disillusioned voters like Baggaley.
It is also essential for the general public to hold their elected officials accountable. Democracy thrives when citizens actively participate and demand change when necessary. Baggaley’s frustration is a reminder that individual voices and experiences can bring about meaningful transformation.
In conclusion, the incident involving Ryan Baggaley and Delta Construction & Electric Co. serves as a wake-up call for Democrats in Los Angeles. The rising crime rates have left voters disillusioned and demanding action. It is time for Democratic leaders to reevaluate their strategies, prioritize public safety, and work towards building a secure and crime-free environment for their citizens. Only then can they regain the trust and support of their constituents.
