Two Sheriff’s Deputies Shot Multiple Times In Los Angeles County Ambush

Moments ago, 2 of our Sheriff Deputies were shot in Compton and were transported to a local hospital. They are both still fighting for their lives, so please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. We will update this thread with information as it becomes available.

To the protesters blocking the entrance & exit of the HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM yelling “We hope they die” referring to 2 LA Sheriff’s ambushed today in #Compton: DO NOT BLOCK EMERGENCY ENTRIES & EXITS TO THE HOSPITAL. People’s lives are at stake when ambulances can’t get through.

In three tweets, this explains why it is time to change our strategy.

KTLA:

“After two deputies were shot and left in critical condition Saturday night, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department released surveillance footage that appears to show the shooting in Compton.

Three hours after shots were fired, the search for the shooter was ongoing, officials said.

The deputies were working with the department’s Transit Services Bureau and sitting inside a patrol vehicle parked near the Blue Line Metro station in Compton when the shooter approached them, according to the department.

They were parked along 101 East Palmer St., across from the station, when the gunman came up “from behind” just before 7 p.m., Captain Kent Wegner said during a news conference later Saturday night. He said the deputies were facing southbound, and the shooter walked up from the north.

“He walked along the passenger side of the car,” Wegner said. “He acted as if he was going to walk past the car. And then he made a left turn directly toward the car, raised a pistol and fired several rounds inside of the vehicle, striking both of the sheriff’s deputies.”

Both deputies were left in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds, officials said. They underwent surgery at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood within four hours of the shooting. …”

This country is falling apart.

It is closer to going up in flames than most people think.

There is nothing that any of us can do to stop the inevitable trainwreck. It is definitely not in our interest to insert ourselves into this shitshow. As the pace of events continues to accelerate, it is changing attitudes. By staying out of the picture, we have gained more than we ever could by activism.

If they die, fast trial death penalty for the killer. Only way to stop this! https://t.co/K3sKh28GjX

This cold-blooded shooting is unconscionable and the perpetrator must be brought to justice.

Violence of any kind is wrong; those who commit it should be caught and punished.

Jill and I are keeping the deputies and their loved ones in our hearts and praying for a full recovery. https://t.co/330QfeIUGg

Trump has allowed the violent protests to continue for months because it is helping him politically in the 2020 election. Joe Biden is incapable of reining in these people. It has gone too far.

Once this country is engulfed by the looming catastrophe, it will be up to each of us to ride it out as best we can. I don’t think things are going to settle down and return to normal after the election. We’re at the point where the shooting has begun and the violence is being celebrated by mobs.

I’m not a survivalist. I can’t help you there and even if I tried it is probably too late. We’re less than two months from the election. If Trump is reelected, which seems increasingly likely, that is when I expect the leftwing violence to really jump off. I’m expecting something like Northern Ireland in The Troubles. I don’t think the vast majority of Americans are interested in Civil War 2, but I can see the violent Left developing into an insurgency against the police and the government in a Trump second term. Portland has foreshadowed a bloodier conflict between violent leftists and the state in our major cities.

If you live in one of these big cities where the violent leftwing protests have been occurring since George Floyd died and where Democrats have allowed the mob to take over like Portland or Charlottesville, I shouldn’t have to tell you that it is probably wise to exit as soon as possible. The government had to crush violent anarchists before during the Palmer Raids in the Wilson administration.

It will be our job during this catastrophe to explain to our fellow citizens why and how this all came about and why the country lost cohesion and disintegrated. Why are people assassinating police officers? Why are mobs surrounding hospitals and celebrating murderers and cheering for the death of innocent people? Why has the media been cheering on the mobs? Why are Democratic cities abolishing police departments to appease the mob? That already requires an explanation.
