As Ventura seethes over fatal stabbing, police acknowledge mistake in handling of homeless man (claim, California)

The homeless issue has gotten out of control in California .

This young man was sitting at a nice restaurant with his 5 year old daughter and stabbed in the next by a homeless guy . This guy was causing problems and yelling and the cops claimed he wasn’t a threat .
Now this guy is dead and his daughter won’t have a father and wife is a widow .

This is the result of bad liberal policies . This has happened in Los Angeles too . There was an older Asian man that was randomly killed by a homeless man , just one example .

Ventura Police Department received a call about a homeless man “yelling and being disruptive” in the city’s promenade area, a bustling boardwalk flush with restaurants.

Officers in the area were busy, so police decided to monitor the man on a surveillance camera, ultimately deciding he was not a threat.

Hours later, police said, the man entered a nearby steakhouse and plunged a knife into the neck of Anthony Mele Jr., fatally wounding the 35-year-old while his wife and daughter looked on in horror.

Mele’s killing has roiled the city: Some residents are highly critical of police for failing to send officers after the initial complaint.

My mother was this little girl’s age when she saw her father’s blood and brains on his factory’s floor. He had been murdered and the body was gone but seeing the remnants severely traumatized her. This poor little girl had to see her father executed right in front of her.
