  As we reported yesterday a video showing multiple packages reportedly looted from Los Angeles trains has gone viral with over 2 million views. CBS 2 photojournalist John Schreiber shared on Thursday showing what he discovered at the Lincoln Heights train tracks. He captioned the video: “Keep hearing of train burglaries in LA on the scanner so went to Lincoln Heights to see it all.

Comments:

How about Federal prosecution? For that to be successful it would require a federal Department of Justice that wasn't singing from the same sheet of music as the progressive DA. Wokeness will destroy us all!

Union Pacific needs to hire some newly released military with the skills in place to guard and ward off such thievery. Win-Win.

Here is Special Directive 20-07 reference in the letter. Special Directive 20-07 Explained The directive lists a total of 13 misdemeanors which are not to be charged by county law enforcement, such as the Sheriff’s office. However, this directive only applies to arrests by country law enforcement, and as such you can still be charged with all misdemeanors if arrested by the LAPD within LA city limits. The listed misdemeanors are: Trespass (Penal Code §602) Unless: you have repeat trespass offenses within two years; There was a verifiable, immediate safety risk; Or, there was no indication of substance abuse, mental illness, or homelessness Disturbing the Peace (Penal Code §415) Unless: you have repeat offenses of this type this within two years; Or, there is no evidence of substance abuse or mental illness Driving Without a Valid License (Vehicle Code §12500) Unless: you have repeat offenses of this type within two years Driving on a Suspended License (Vehicle Code §14601.1)) Unless: you have repeat offenses of this type within two years Criminal Threats (Penal Code §422) Unless: the offense is related to domestic abuse or a hate crime; You have three offenses of this type within two years; There is a documented history of threats towards the victim; You were in possession of a weapon capable of causing injury or death; Or, there was no indication of substance abuse or mental illness Drug and Paraphernalia Possession (Health and Safety Code §11350, 11357, 11364, 11377) Minor in Possession of Alcohol (Business and Professions §25662) Drinking in Public (LA County Municipal Code §13.18.010) Under the Influence of a Controlled Substance (Health and Safety Code §11550) Public Intoxication (Penal Code §647) Loitering (Penal Code §647) Unless: you have repeat offenses of this type within two years Loitering to Commit Prostitution (Penal Code §653.22) Resisting Arrest (Penal Code §148) Unless: you have repeat offenses of this type within two years; There was physical force used against an officer of the peace; Or, the charge is filed in relation to another offense not listed So long as none of the exceptions are met, you will not be charged with a misdemeanor. It’s important to reiterate that you can still be charged with the above misdemeanors, and any other, by the city attorney’s office if arrested by the LAPD within LA city limits.

Noted in the video the people sharing the looted merchandise did not seem to represent a proportionate cross-section of race, but rather seemed to be predominantly if not wholly African American. Poverty does not seem to be a factor, since so many of those on camera seemed overweight and colorfully- of not newly-dressed. The distance between the African American and European American racial groups— in terms of right and wrong and fair and unfair—seems unbridgeable. What rationale informs the criminal actions of these overweight people with— evidently— all kinds of free time, with any kind of justification? Does anyone know? I mean, it’s wrong to steal, right? No matter your race? Just don’t get it. Why debase oneself?

Common sense will tell you that all that package damage and theft was not caused by a few wayward thieves but by organized tribes of hundreds of people. All those packages that were damaged and stolen were in interstate commerce at the times that those crimes occurred, so you would think that Biden and the federal criminal justice and law enforcement systems would have already taken notice and be responding appropriately?

Maybe people should be able to pay for products when delivered. when the product is delivered the driver can have a code that is sent to the company the order was placed to. credit card is charged. No money handled by the driver. Or a much easier and more productive way to handle the theft, is to stop it. Horse thieves were shot. I have no sympathy for people who break the law and get shot. We all have free will. Your free to use it the way you want. But there are and should be consequences for one's choice of use.

Union Pacific [which has grown from the Pinkerton Agency] maintains a functioning police department staffed with officers given the title of Special Agent with jurisdiction over crimes against the railroad. ". . . its primary jurisdiction [consists of] 54,116 miles in 23 western U.S. states. Special Agents typically investigate . . . issues such as . . . vandalism/graffiti, and THEFT OF company property or CUSTOMER PRODUCT. Special Agents often coordinate and liaise with local, state, and federal law enforcement on issues concerning the railroad . . ." ** [Edits and emphasis added] As these Police are not courts of law, they can only turn their arrestees over to the applicable government(s) for prosecution. Considering these woke California prosecutors, WHY BOTHER? Perhaps this is what Union Pacific's management has concluded. ** Source: read://https_en.wikipedia.org/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FUnion_Pacific_Police_Department%3F3739a18c-0c68-43cc-a4cb-b8b99e9bfd72%3D9b34f046-78d2-477f-a081-7aaa6cf65081

Number 12, you have identified the issue UP deals with. I have a relative who is a mucky-muck in UP’s police dept. I asked him some years ago why they allowed so many homeless to camp on rr property. He said their jurisdiction extends only as far as the railroad right-of-way. Once someone steps past that line there is nothing UP can do. He said they would often clean up an area filled with homeless and then BEG local law enforcement to keep them away … and the local LEO’s wouldn’t do anything. He said often the best UP could do was get the homeless on misdemeanors - which the local DA’s wouldn’t prosecute. My relative said it was much worse in liberal cities. We the consumer will just pay more to cover the thefts. And small businesses will be hurt.

What am I missing here? How hard would it be to lock the doors to the cargo cars in such a way that they could not be defeated in just a few minutes? For example, hanging padlocks can be easily cut with large bolt cutters but there are lots of ways to secure a door besides padlocks. Something here doesn't make sense.

My long departed father, a Polish immigrant, told stories about being a railroad car plunderer when he was a pre-teen, living in Erie, Pa. (Erie was an industrial city back around 1915 or so, and there were railroad tracks everywhere.) He and his friends, also Polish immigrants, were looking for food- candy, gum, stuff like that. I picture them as scruffy little urchins. And if they were caught by the railroad dicks, I think he called them, the railroad dicks kicked some butt.

On Sunday, Union Pacific spokesperson Kristen South confirmed that the investigation remains ongoing while crews clean up the tracks. “Crews continue to work around the clock, clearing the tracks and working to reopen them. We do not have an estimated time for reopening, and the cause remains under investigation,” South said in an email.

Both also were very firm on the subject in speeches — Sinema earlier in the week and Manchin earlier on Wednesday. It wasn’t happening, they said.

The Biden White House has withdrawn U.S. support from a pipeline project designed to deliver Israeli natural gas to Europe, reversing a decision taken by President Donald Trump’s administration. The 1,180-mile undersea pipeline project from Israel to southern Europe, set to be completed by 2025, will ease Europe’s dependence on Russia and Turkey. These two countries have a stranglehold on the continent’s energy supply. “The United States is no longer supporting the construction of EastMed gas pipeline project as Washington’s interest is now switching to renewable energy sources, according to a State Department statement,” the Euractiv, a Brussels based news website, reported recently.

The Board of Governors voted to pass the new policy as it "preserves opportunity for transgender student-athletes while balancing fairness, inclusion and safety for all who compete," according to the report. "It is important that NCAA member schools, conferences and college athletes compete in an inclusive, fair, safe and respectful environment and can move forward with a clear understanding of the new policy," DeGioia added.
