I have a coworker friend, her son was busted trying to meet an underage girl for sex years ago, he was sent to state prison for 3 years and has to register as a sex offender, he was 19 and living at home when this happened, after he got out, he could not live at home, because they lived by a school, so his parents paid for an apartment until he could find a job.


Surprisingly if you go online, there are lists of companies that will hire ex cons, felons, sex offenders, etc. I was shocked to see some of the companies, they are all big well known companies, he now works for Pepsi, making close to $30 an hour!!

True . Very few people in America actually steal to eat .

Especially in Los Angeles there are tons of places people can get food if they can’t afford it .

We would be hearing in the news if people were dying of starvation in this city . This is just virtue signaling and the mayor and local politicians doing what social justice warriors do best .
