Re “Suspect sought in murder at La Brea Avenue store,” Jan. 13

Once again, a senseless random murder [was committed] by one of the many homeless criminals roaming around our community. This time, the victim is a 24-year-old UCLA graduate student named Brianna Kupfer, who was working her way through school at the Croft House on La Brea Avenue.

When do we stop treating all homeless [individuals] as victims and demand that our elected officials start considering the tax-paying residents?

Councilmember Koretz continues to give speeches, as he has every time there is a senseless violent crime in his district. Yet, he has done nothing for years to address the growing problem of violent crimes caused by homeless [individuals] living on the streets of our community.
