Soft-on-crime policies that have irreparably damaged lives and businesses have been the scourge of once-thriving cities. On Thursday, when the Los Angeles Police Department recently released an image of the suspects believed to be responsible for killing the actor during an alleged catalytic converter theft, the victim's mother, Scarlett Wactor, joined “Fox & Friends” to demand change.
When asked by Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt what she wanted from Bass, Wactor explained, “I want her to go out and stand up for what's wrong with this city.”
Referring to Anita Joy, the co-worker who had been with her son when she finished her shift at a downtown bar before they encountered the alleged robbers, she explained: “It's a pro-criminal environment. Obviously, they're not afraid. If you listen to Anita's story, she was talking about them walking down the sidewalk. They (the suspects) heard them, but you know they didn't take off because they know it won't be long. The crime threshold, just below [$]1,000, and what can you do?
“Maybe if there had been a police car every three or four minutes, at least they would have been caught, even if their life wasn't saved,” Wactor added. “Maybe 911 doesn't put the call on hold when he called. I want him to come out and say you're going to change and you're going to change.”
Over the weekend, police released an image of four suspects and a stolen Infiniti Q50 that three of them had fled the scene to ask for the community's help in identifying the individuals believed to be responsible for the 25 may

Ahead of a planned news conference outside City Hall on Tuesday to demand justice for her son, Wactor told co-host Lawrence Jones that she wants to see two things done to curb crime in Los Angeles. She believed they needed to lower the charging threshold to a lower dollar value and that the city needed to hire more police officers. “Let them know they're going to get caught. Even if they do, they're going to run into a police car.”
His demand came as even California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) had admitted that more needed to be done to fight crime, specifically talking about the violence in Oakland.
As Mayor Shen Thao (D) faced a recall effort and calls from the police union to to resignNewsom had encouraged the city to “pursue suspects in more circumstances,” as many criminals were able to get away.
Wactor's claims against Bass, who had replaced LA Mayor Eric Garcetti (D), who had been appointed as US ambassador to India by President Joe Biden, were similar to those of comedian Jay Leno who , shortly after the actor's death. , had expressed his own problem with the misdemeanor charge typically associated with the theft of catalytic converters.
“The slap on the wrist most thieves get, if they even get caught,” he said Leno, “is the reason they're so brazen.”
