If you are a criminal; NY, California, and Illinois will provide you with the best benefits and support courtesy of their corrupt, nauseating political leaders. It is incomprehensible how these political parasites have allowed criminals and illegals to prosper and be treated better than their lawful, legal citizens! Don’t be surprised if the cops who shot at this parasite are prosecuted by the corrupt LA County leaders!
