Arrests mean nothing unless they’re prosecuted. Prosecutions means nothing if they’re not convicted. Convictions mean nothing unless they’re sentenced accordingly.
Sentences means nothing if they're not really punished in prison. Punishments means nothing if they join the major identity group there, which will make them untouchable
Thank you 👏👏
@@containedhurricane ig we should torture people who get caught smoking weed then huh😂
Send em back to Mexico
This is not a petty crime like shoplifting for a few hundred dollars. This is an organized group that stole millions and they should receive jail time.
The thieves should be prosecuted in the federal courts as it’s interfering and theft of interstate commerce cargo.
And they won't be released by Gascon.
UK and Slovakia like😆😆😆
Bro these were mostly homeless people they would LOVE the luxury of a federal prison compared to them streets 😂😂
They should all be deported
Hollywood liberals like De'Niro will just make excuses for them.
These thefts have been going on for a long time. My bet is that the insurance companies started resisting paying off these claims and so law enforcement was pressured by the railroads and shippers of the merchandise to do something to halt these thefts.
Ooor maybe insurance companies were getting tired of over claims? Where they hyperinflate the prices
.
Like hospitals lol.
No way in hell did them trains have $18,000,000 in products , that's just bonkers as those boxes looks like they're holding regular items.
So you need TONS OF THEM. Not just a few. (Another reason why you don't see the items the police "claimed" . Cause it won't add up in value)
Make them clean up the mess❗️
They live in it.
I want my damn money back
@@theoryofpersonality1420 🤣🤣🤣
@@green-iq6mb I know right
On the tracks then on the border. Red river red rover
The problem is that when the thieves get caught they get out in a few days.
We need to harden the law. Why are we giving these scumbags handout. What about the victims?
The problem is that you don't understand the concept of "Innocent until proven guilty". You must not be American. Punishment comes after conviction.
The fact that this comes out now, and knowing the politics of LA, makes me wonder what we’re being distracted from.
Interesting take on this...
Right. Paul Pelosi scandal? Or something new.
Dee Michaels Sounds like you believe in that Q crap.
Tin foil cap confirmed
@@jamminwrenches860 lol You're retwoited
Oh wait, I can't say what I want to say.
I wonder how long they will be in "custody". The guy that supposedly purposely drove the wrong way and injured a bunch of future sheriff deputies is already out of jail and that to me is a more serious crime.
You have to go to twitter to say what you're thinking.
They now have free speech there.
This is a FEDERAL ISSUE. and has "DE NADA' TO DO with state issues.
He fell asleep at the wheel .😂
@@MaltedJacker Passed out at the wheel from copious amounts of dope..
Sounds about white😂😂😂
All Hispanics. The Hispanic community needs take action to enforce higher moral standards in their community.
Bet you don’t say the same about whites and their mass shootings. Not disagreeing just making sure you feel the same about every races problems
This is very true, often times it doesn’t happen though
Those are the Hispanics that do drugs and weren't taught hard work and morals.
@@AJXX right ! just like there’s good people from every race there’s bad people too .
@@AJXX 🌵
22 PEOPLE DIDN'T DO ALL OF THAT.
Each of them probably had their own team of thieves.
Over a year? Easily... Mexicans are hard workers.
@@davelowets bwahahaha!!
@@bkilpatr100 🍻
No they don't do all that. But they where caught work s lot of the merchandise that suddenly disappeared from this trains.
Damn I never thought they were gonna get them. Very impressed.
Same😂
These people are a small blip in Los Angeles, this crime is happening nationwide.
These are just the scapegoats, to make people think there is no more problem. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them are actually innocent! Ha!
Arrested your cousin
Cali, the new new mexico
Glad they got caught!
In the mean time Gascon released all of them and condemned LAPD for filing criminal charges on these people.
LAPD is full of crooks, crazies, and crack heads.
Yeah because the governor has that much power and inserts himself in such things because you said so
How many of these folks shouldn’t have been in this country??
We don't know, but I think your mother should leave this country now that I broke up w/her.
Crimes from illegals are not mentioned in the media, democrats don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or their main voting block.
Immigrants come to take the jobs of all those junkies that don’t work.
Hispanic lives matter
Sanctuary, they'll be let off to do it again
No wonder my packages were never delivered!
i think i bought yours on ebay
@teller of lies hopefully you got your refund at least
It got delivered...to Juan Guerro-Herra's house.
@@davediamond7228 nah I bought his stuff on Facebook marketplace
Don't lie, you never had any packages coming..
You all know railroads have their own police force with arresting powers in multiple states.
👍Union Pacific in Arizona don't play...The illegals use to make their way in the auto carrier cars sometimes caught sleeping in the automobiles
Back when trains ran cabooses, the Southern Pacific would place Railway Police cars at the end of the auto-rack trains to stop vandalism and petty theft. Seems drone technology is advanced to the point now where drones can be programmed to patrol particular sections of track and transmit dronecam footage back to police HQ.
They dont do nothing 🤣😂.... I see them hanging out in our railyards
FEDERAL CRIMES, not state. State might be co=op. but this is a FEDERAL ISSUE.
Whoever was supposed to be watching these trains seriously dropped the ball! Someone should give them the news Biden's 'Open Door America' is no longer Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood!
Don't forget who the LA County DA is. Note he wasn't at the presser.
Is Gascon ever at these types of pressers?
Yeah some racsit Latino dude who probably look the other way.
I almost forgot about this even happening. Good job!!!
It took a year to put this together? How embarrassing. These crooks are bold about committing crimes. Police should have arrested them a long time ago.
..probably didn't start the investigation until a month ago or less...
People like you expect everything to come easy, huh?
The hard working Hispanics.
Arrests mean nothing unless they’re prosecuted. Prosecutions means nothing if they’re not convicted. Convictions mean nothing unless they’re sentenced accordingly.
Keep voting democrat. You know they're already released because of weak, corrupted, loving criminals democrat politicians
Make them clean up that MESS!
Pretty sure thats done by the homeless in the Los Angeles Railroads
Glad they caught them
NOT ME
After Prison, deport them.
mr trumper that believe on flat earth . maybe they are from Los angels as Los angels use to be Mexico ? you are so simple
@@livioangel USE to be ...what part of that do yall not want to comprehend?
They might be American
@@livioangel cut it out burrito head😂
@@anonymousmc7727 what kinda insult is that ? 😂😂😂
How about the government officials who enabled all of it? Were they arrested as well??
De-fund the politicians. It's time.
And how did they do that? You do know it takes years to get security measures in place, you can't just install rails where ever you want. Those people had warehouses to store stuff, so it's not like they didn't have money and were homeless people doing this to survive. How dense can you be? How about blaming the people who stole from the trains? You must be republican, you don't blame the crime committer, you blame the victim of being the criminal.
Can’t give away all ur ducks ? Good job
Nancy Pelosi got fired
They're too busy supporting NO HATE. legislation.
Newsom wants them released immediately!!!
You want them to be released?
@Haven Lady i guess u dont kno who the governor of California is re t@rd 🙄🙄🙄
Newsome is your daddy
You guys really say the dumbest things.
Newsom is running around in your empty head all day, taking-dumps-everywhere.
They need to put them to work to clean all that stuff up..
companies should be permitted to protect their property with deadly force. Its the only way to relive the pressure on police while controlling the crime problems.
And ridding the rest of us from the burden of human garbage... I wouldn't shed a tear for their departure from this world.. 🤷🏻
We should live in a country that controls immigration
We should live in a country where the government is run by people instead of politicians
So theft should be punishable by the death penalty ? What's next life in prison for speeding lol if no one's life is in danger lethal force should never be an option these people need to face federal charges and serve the maximum amount of time in prison allowed by law
@@ericbess9141 You sound like you're a thief... 🤷🏻🤦🏻
I'm just really glad to see it was such a diverse group
Sad to see minorities do crime! You come to America to do well land of oppurtunity lol
@PogChamp lol at how you don't see the humor in Hugh Jass. That's exactly what they pointed out.
I got your sarcasm, others may be a little slow... 🤪
It’s the people that live in the neighborhood your people.
Bunch of MEGA MAGA THIEVES...
Wonderful diversity! Makes us stronger!
White men should continue sleeping with their daughters! Make us stronger! Keep it Alabama, as GOD intended!
Id rather have these Native Americans stealing from trains & not causing harm to the public then those enraged White Men shooting up our Schools, Churches, & Grocery stores!!!
@@CR-uw8kv I'll take my chances with the white men behind me at church over a black man behind me at an ATM.
@Vanilla Ice Yup, I feel the same away about Whyte's.
I never chose them to go on missions when I served overseas. The one time that I did, he was killed by "friendly fire". 😂😂
Atleast his family got that life insurance. Oh well!!
@@SOLDOZER I have a question for you;
Would you rather live by a white registered sex offender or a black ex-con?
Reporter said 18 Billion was recovered, the cop said 18 million ...that's quite a difference
Arrested and let out all in five minutes
All that happened in central LA. So they stole that stuff packed it into trucks and LAPD didn’t notice? It probably took hours with a bunch of people and PD was clueless
Prosecute these crooks to the fullest extent of the law.
Breaking News: DA has release the 22 people on PR bonds. The 22 people are back to stealing from trains.
"Innocent until proven guilty". You must not be American. Punishment comes after conviction.
18 million dollars of recovered merchandise. That's a drop in the bucket. The Railway lost billions of dollars from not just stolen property, but derailments, vandalisim and environmental threats to the local communities.
In short 22 people broke into up to 90 containers a day it took a year to catch them hiding $18 million worth of stuff.
Those may be the funniest mug shots I've ever seen 🤣
Wow such DIVERSITY and INCLUSION ...
Just like your mother likes it.
Native Americans? This is what we deserve. We took them out of their Lands & Home illegally! These are the repercussions.
District Attorney Gascon said he would not file charges against any of those arrested because the amount of the thefts was less than $950 million dollars.
Here is the fact - people don't fear the police. They will do whatever they can to get away with as much as possible. And why wouldn't they? Even if they do get caught, the accountability and responsibility is laughable. Mommy and Daddy aren't allowed to discipline anymore. So, no one learns the word "no". We have gone from doing the right thing, to doing as much as we can without getting caught. @db105 - you said more in your comment that I can further expand on!
never have criminals 'feared' the police.
Thanks for the gang view!
That’s why my package says it’s still in California 3 weeks after being notified it “shipped” 😂
Great news you got them.
OOOOh summer child!
Don't worry, gascon will have them out of the Towers and back in business, in no time :) .
And with msbass coming on the scene soon, she'll make sure they even get better tools for the job next time ;) .
Didn't they used to shoot train robbers? What ever happened to that?
@Debra Thielman Right because it was legal to shoot train robbers when Trump was president. 🙄
There’s one thing in common between all of them ! It’s called METHAMPHETAMINE , POOKIE , GO FAST , SPEED , KRI KRI ! 😂😂
That's not the ONLY thing in common....
Rodriguez, Hernandez, Garcia, Cruz...fine Europeans we have here!
No the Europeans are going to be in skid row with a pipe h
Those names were probably originally Spanish & Spain is part of Europe.
@@r.j8290 lots of white people living on Skid Row
These are 100% Native American people. They were colonized by Spain. A European Country. Still doesnt change the fact they’re 100% American & we are NOT! Bloodline & DNA never lies. Lets pick up a history book
🥺 they arent sending their best
Sending? These people have lived here for thousands of years lol. They’re all Native American. As in Native to the American continent… Read a book! Education really helps
They’ll be back at it again soon and a little harder to catch again.
But since these are all property crimes, no one will actually stay in custody.
Innocent until proven guilty. Punishment comes after conviction.
@@fluxcapacitor1621 Let me clarify my thought. After conviction, no one will actually stay in custody.
Just keep that border open I'm sure these people have a lot more to steal... I mean give
These are Native Americans though? This is their lands lol. Has been their land & continent for thousands of years. You say they “have a lot more to steal” but who was the one who stole their lands & committed genocide on their peoples?🤣 The USA! The hypocrisy is crazy! Lets pick up some history books @WarDogLRS
Honest, hard-working society had to patiently wait for a stimulus check to arrive and then help them out, while these creeps just took what they wanted, over and over and over again. Criminals get a 'stimulus' whenever they want to take one away from society, it appears. I wager they ALL had their bail money lined up already, too.
These Mexicanspics know how play the system,it makes me sick.
I wonder how many of these thieves are in the country illegally.
Okaaaaay “Lopez” 😂😂😭 what a fucken bozo
I see 100% Native American people… They dont look Asian, Black, or European. They’ve been living in this country & continent for thousands of years before we arrived. How are they in this country “illegaly” if this is what they call home?
Don't let Newsom find out. He'll want them out of jail.
10,000 $ fine trespassing on RR property!! 🚂
THIS IS CALIFORNIA. They will be out soon again.
You don't believe me? Check their background.
Last names say enough…. I’ll let that sink in.
Whats wrong with having a European Last Name? Is that bad? Lol. Not to mention they’re Native Americans. I dont understand.
Instead of a fence at the rail yard, Cailf need to put a fence at the Mexican border.
Dennis these people in the video are Native Americans. A fence to keep them out of their own Home/Lands?🤔 How absurd does that sound now… Come on. Lets use our brains
I bet none of them do jail time.
Some of our finest immigrants I'm sure.
Highly doubt immigrants come here to steal packages off of trains lol
dreamers
BLM
My hood ese
@@razorramoneljefe5956 puro chuntaro
I bet they let them out of jail the same day they arrested them
The problem is that you don't understand the concept of "Innocent until proven guilty". You must not be American. Punishment comes after conviction.
Tens of thousands of criminals and caught 22, great job LAPD. Only took a year.
Great job. Thanks 🙏🏻
No consequences, just legal paperwork and harsh words from the legal system. Typical Catch and release. They will go to a store and do the same.
Put 2 rifleman on top of each train, bet that would stop the criminals! Also the audacity of them to just stockpile these items like they were gonna make a "legit" business out this and never get caught is astounding.
it's illegal to use lethal force to prevent theft. the two riflemen would just get arrested.
Good idea now go volunteer 👍🏾
@@alexm566maybe it’s time to change it temporarily.
@@unknowmysteries5925 or stop catch and release and actually make criminals know they'll get real punishment when caught
@@alexm566 come to my state and steal and get caught by owner. Your next trip is to the morgue and no charges against the owner. But, we’re not a blue state.
If anybody thinks that only 22 people were involved, YOUR COMPLETELY CLUELESS!!! 🤨🤨
Oh my .... all of them hispanics 😪😪..
Heartbreaking to see that...
They’re Native Americans. It is heartbreaking to see! After all this country has done to their people. Taking their lands illegally. Having your citizens hunt & behead Native Americans. Also having your citizens scalp them. It’s disgusting & disturbing. This is revenge. We deserve every ounce of it
That dude at the bottom right owes me a buck fifty for coffee .... I now know where you gonna be living, I want my loot😀😀😀
Hopefully they stay locked up. 😮💨😮💨
Are you kidding?? This is Calimafornication!
It took over a year to make arrests. I would fire the police Chief.
Now they you caught them, don't let them go.
They’re already out.
George Floyd died for their sins. Free them.
Arrests mean nothing unless they’re prosecuted. Prosecutions means nothing if they’re not convicted. Convictions mean nothing unless they’re sentenced accordingly.
Make them clean up those tracks !
WAY too late for that option... 🙄
What ever happened to the railroad cops that used to work people over or make it so they disappear
This is Los Angeles....
ACLU.
I miss the days when these clowns would get drug behind a dumpster and beat with battons.
what ever happened to not having trains with cars full of stuff, sitting on the tracks for weeks, this is not right those trains should have been onloaded as soon as they got there,
@@redred222 I think it coincided with the longshoreman crisis when the ships were stuck..
Some sort of politics
Gascon and Garcetti talking about how to get these thieves released and back on the streets asap.
Why bother, they’ll be out in 2 hours 😢
it doesnt matter, they catch them so late. just overwhelm the officers with more crime, you'll get away with it for even more years.
The 22 people need to get at least 10 years in Jail without the possibility of release and then when they are released, them and their families should be deported and never welcomed back!
Never gonna happen.
More than likely none of them spent any time in jail...
We need more immigration people like that to make America a better place to live.
These are Native Americans. I dont see any illegals or immigrants. They’re not Asian. Middle Eastern. nor African. They’re Native American lol
@@CR-uw8kv what are you talking about they immigrated here from Africa go back to school.
@@bwithgod6374 From Africa?🤣 What? They look black to you? They definitely dont look black to me! They look Native American
I'm surprised this business owner allowed his face to be shown!
LAW ABIDING LIVES REALLY MATTER !
22 people but 11 pictures of the same ppl. This checks out to me since its chitty califonria
Seems like some people getaway
Now I gotta pay full price for that high pressure washer!
Let's see if Gascon does anything other than give them a medal. Like maybe prosecute them to the max.
His main concern is to keep woke liberals happy. They will cry racism and say they were impoverished immigrants looking for a better life.
Deportation....
seems like something that would be investigated by a federal agency as opposed to the LAPD...
I hope they get the Electric Chair wearing striped jumpsuits
They’re just getting their revenge lol. USA took their lands & exterminated their people so these are the consequences.
The first clip a cop was just parked on the street lol
If I bought a TV from one of these guys not knowing it was stolen would I get in trouble?
As long as you don't tell no one.
@@wardaddy6002 too late
@@dogenaire69420 Yep
Lmao
Now just what made me take it for granted, the crimes were by the DIVERSE? Without even seeing the mug shots.
I see alot hispanics there. Good thing they crossed the border for a better life and assimilate to the american way. Hard work and love for your country. FJB.
Just a tip, most people in the US refer to them as either "freight" or passenger trains.
Imagine that south of the border all stars
I see 100% Native American people buddy.
We all know nothing will be done about this
Send them to Martha's Vineyard 😉
These are Native Americans. Why would they need to be sent to Marthas Vineyard lol
Make them clean it up before locking them up
Never see this stuff in Holland, Sweden or Switzerland. Why?
And don't say it's poverty, because it also never happens in Cambodia, India, Thailand, etc. Why???
Somebody want to explain to me in simple terms, what the difference is between the US and these other countries??
Because USA is soft on criminals.
Its culture.and also america is land of opportunity for criminal
Third,is the progressive left and liberal lenient policy toward criminal.
There's a few solutions that come to mind for you, the easiest being for you to move✌️
@@Bobbodaclown70 Fascist spotted.
This stuff doesnt happen in Holland, Sweden, or Switzerland because those countries already stole from others & used their resources!! They’re already good! They built ACTUAL countries. Not a Business like the USA did. Those countries CARE for their people. USA does not. Hell this country was founded on the Enslavement of Black Africans to generate them millions. What else could you expect? This is a BUSINESS. Not a country unfortunately
Nothing will be done to them.
There are a lot more than 22 people involved in this.
Wow 22 people ripped off $18 million of swag off the train 🚂 they are hard workers💯🙌✅🦾
🤣Right!
Those Mexicans know how to get to the bag, definitely admire their hustle
@@socaldreamer3394 no he wouldn't do that. Reddit would make them head mods of the default subreddits tho.
@@radsurfer808I call this revenge🤣 USA wanted to take Native Americans out of the USA but they never resisted! Love to see it
The Replacements. Welcome to America.
Replacements? These are the ORIGINAL Americans🇺🇸
PROSECUTION? IN L.A.? Federal charge of interfering with the operation of a railroad should be added. Throw the book.
They spent all this money at time to catch them just to let them go with out having to pay bail. This is embarrassing.
First of all, no they didn't. Second bail money is returned so they wouldn't make anything back anyway. He also said most of this was addressed by a few cameras, which they should have had years ago.
Arrested in LA so they'll be back at it tomorrow.
I wonder how many of these are illegal aliens 😂
I see Native American people… 100% Native American people too. They don’t look Black, Asian, or European. Their bloodline originates on the American continent. Pardon my question but how are they “illegal aliens” if they have been living in this Country & Continent for thousands of years? That doesn’t quite make sense does it!
