You can’t own anything nice in California anymore without worrying about being a target.

So attempting to steal a rich persons Ferrari is called a “Heist” but stealing the average persons car would be a robbery lol

they steal your money they steal your property, but they think they are justified, they think you stole from them first... they think you forced them into poverty and you exploited them with your wealth.

We are called racist outside of Fashion Island when we see people that don't belong in the area. It's 90+ degrees outside and you're in black hoodies with friends, im calling 911. You're not welcome in OC!
