Due to my excellent profiling ability I’d like to point out these young men are clearly nice Jewish boys and their crimes are only alleged until proven guilty in a court of law.

Why do not they ask LEAPS?Why do not they ask LEAPS?We pay Ten Million Tax Dollars for that useless plane.We pay Ten Million Tax Dollars for that useless plane.No to LEAPS.No to LEAPS.Waste of tax dollars.Waste of tax dollars.
Question Lancaster Authority says
Turd, you are annoying but there is no arguing that you are right. LEAPS is a complete waste of money. If anyone followed the money trail on this they would be surprised, unless they have been around here a while. All the money trails lead to the many of the same folk.
Cynic says
Imagine being dumb enough to not cover your face when committing a robbery. You could wear a mask, hide your identity, and people wouldn’t assume foul play because of Covid. Criminals like this are stupid, low-IQ vermin. Society needs to treat them as such.
Don't break the law says
Cynic: Except for the fact that they ran over Samantha Mena, murdering her. This wasn’t just a robbery, and I’m pretty sure they will be able to track down the car. Anyway, whether a dumb criminal or a smart criminal, people suffer either way.
Jorge the sexy latina says
Justice for the victim. Hopefully these perps get caught.

I want a pair of blue oversized clown shoes too!!

A champion hoodie?? Lol.
Lily says
I hope Samantha Mena’s boyfriend was able to get the license plate number of the car. Her boyfriend was the one they were trying to rob, per another article.

Tom thumb says
Look at the stupid clothes they wear. Lol. Blue oversized clown boots? Seriously??
Tom thumb says
Everyday!
Hardy says
When you witness a crime being committed, don’t try to stop them. Get the license plate number and turn it over to the Sheriff’s. I could care less about race or politics, because anybody of any race can kill you. I just hope these clowns get apprehended.
He's Right says
Hardy is spot on about all angles mentioned. Its great to want to help the victim, by confronting the suspects, you risk being injured or worse yet, killed, which is in no way helping anyone.
To hell for all the suspects involved whether they were driving or not…
RIP Samantha Mena…
Return of the Mac says
Lock them low life pice of scum up for good now. Makes you think of why? The government is giving theses low life’s free money to buy weed and alcohol why go rob someone when your low life self is getting a free government hand out like your mother and father got back in the days.
Peace and blessings says
Why would you think their mom’s got free government handouts? Please don’t stereotype/throw low key racist undertones. It’s plenty of criminals of all racial backgrounds who come from hard working, and law abiding families.
AVpackage says
I wonder why the LA times doesn’t show the picture of these suspects? RIP to the victim trying to do the right thing.
AVpackage says
Oh wait, they did.
He's Wrong says
It’s much better to look first, then conclude rather than just assume….
But you knew that already
Tom says
This needs to end. It’s sad Samantha lost her life, but if we really want this crap to end we all need to stand up like Samantha did and stop watching and bitching, but work together and stop the scum from taking over our neighborhoods and cities. You can’t expect the cops to do it the situation the AV is in is the cops bread and butter. You really think they want crime to go down. Less crime equals less cops which means less money paid to La County sheriff’s department. Neighbors need to have each other’s back. You see something get a few neighbors and let it be known we ain’t putting up with it anymore. They intimidate you now it’s time to intimidate them. I hope the family of Samantha someday soon heals and thinks of her as a hero someone that did something.
Kkino says
Yeah they all look like thieves but than again what do you expect from these people??
Hardy says
Right. The other people will only kill you if they’re having a bad day.
Just stop says
If “these people” look like thieves than I wonder what mass shooters look like?
Beecee says
The same, “these people”
