A Los Angeles businessman whose warehouse was looted by a mob of young people who crashed their way through the gate in a stolen car is demanding Democratic leaders take crime more seriously.
“I voted for Karen Bass. I voted for Biden. I voted for Gavin Newsom. I’m sick of it,” Ryan Baggaley told FOX Los Angeles outside his boarded-up warehouse Wednesday. “It’s like, at some point you have to give me a reason to vote for you again.”
Baggaley, speaking with Fox News Digital, said he and his three brothers run the family construction business that their father founded 50 years ago – Delta Construction & Electric Co. Despite steel gates and roll-down doors, thieves slammed a stolen car into their warehouse in Los Angeles’ Glassell Park neighborhood before dawn Wednesday.
“The rage that me and my brothers have,” he said. “You work so hard just to survive and make a living, and oh, cool, you just bashed our whole building up.”
The company’s Ring system sent out an alert around 5 a.m., Baggaley said. His wife called 911 six times in a half-hour period as he raced to the warehouse in person, he said. Police arrived two hours later, blaming staffing shortages and having no officers in the area.
He criticized the “defund the police” movement and said that while he believes in holding bad cops accountable for their behavior, the majority of police on the street provide an important service for society.
