Fed-Up CA Homeowner Shoots Intruder; His Neighbor's Comments Perfectly Capture Wine-Mom Liberalism

Posted • August 5, 2025: Crime, particularly robberies/home invasions, in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley is out of control right now, despite voters giving Soros DA George Gascon the heave-ho and passing a ballot initiative to roll back many soft-on-crime Prop 47 provisions. In the last few months, at least four people have been killed in their homes by intruders - and that's just the number I can think of off the top of my head. Residents are furious and so loud about their displeasure that even Mayor Karen Bass is starting to acknowledge their concerns. (Whether anything will actually happen, though, is another matter. And now, quite a few residents are adding firearms to their home protection plan and at least one is very glad that he did. On Monday night, local news station KTLA reports, a Studio City man who encountered an intruder in his home "opened fire on the suspect" and "says he has no regrets." While the reporter seemed to be a little surprised, we are not, especially since, as she says, "Another day, another burglary in the San Fernando Valley."

I took a look at the video, as the reporter suggested, and was blown away by a few parts of it - and not the parts she might think would blow people away. First, Ms. Sarkissian said that the homeowner didn't want to be on video, then proceeds to have her cameraman get the man's face on video as he spoke to a neighbor from his car. Second -- well, second, third, fourth, and fifth could just be wrapped up into one large "What the flip" moment regarding Sarkissian's interview with the neighbor, Kelli Morgan. Morgan, who had no qualms about taking her 15 minutes of fame, says to Sarkissian, "This is the second time they've been robbed, so I guess you get more frustrated." Gee, ya think? Morgan says she's lived there "twenty-five years, and there's never been anything until the last couple of years." Why is that? She was legitimately dumbfounded as to why that might be, but hazarded a guess: "As the walls keep getting higher in the neighborhood, I think then there's more interest in coming into the neighborhood from other areas. That's all I can think of."

Oh, sure, that must be it. Can't even comprehend that it might have to do with the politicians she's elected and the stupid policies they've enacted. But never fear, Morgan is there to broadcast all of her neighbors' safety protocols to the world: "I know almost everybody on this street is -- at minimum, has a Ring, if not. more. What else are you gonna do? You know, I'm not gonna carry a gun." (…)
