Hodgetwins - Teen Takeover in Democrat Cities Turn Violent! Aired: 2025-08-05 Duration: 10:16 === Rampage at Convenience Store (09:46) === [00:00:00] New at 11, it's happened again. [00:00:01] Teens going on a wild rampage, ransacking a Southern California convenience store, taking whatever they can get their hands on. [00:00:08] Can anything be done to stop these crimes? [00:00:10] Eyewitness news reporter Leanne Souter is live in Lincoln Heights with a new video tonight. [00:00:14] Leanne Mark, that's exactly what the owner of this gas station here wants to know. [00:00:21] He says that takeover happened in just a matter of seconds and says there was nothing they could do as the store suddenly filled with thieves. [00:00:30] A sudden burst of young thieves as two dozen kids take over the chevron station in Lincoln Heights. [00:00:37] Just ambushed the store and ransacked it pretty much. [00:00:39] Owner Jerry Salib says it happened in an instant. [00:00:42] You can see the young boys grabbing boxes full of candy, as many chips as they could carry, even cases of beer. [00:00:49] Salib says they got away with more than $1,200 worth of goods. [00:00:53] When it's a gang of them, 24, 25 people, it's like an organized crime type of situation, you know? [00:00:59] Like, those 25 kids could easily overpower my cashier. [00:01:03] Thankfully, the cashier wasn't injured. [00:01:04] The drama erupting Thursday evening at Daly and Mission. [00:01:08] You can see the thieves ride up on their bikes and scooters and run in. [00:01:12] So many packing into the small store, they were running into each other in the chaos of their crime. [00:01:18] Yeah, I got any show for y'all. [00:01:20] Got a damn good show. [00:01:21] Before we get to today's video, don't forget about our new giveaway, F-250 King Ranch and Campering 10,000 in cash. [00:01:27] Go to get in? [00:01:27] Just go to my website, TwitchHornsTwins.com. [00:01:30] Anything you purchase on the site gets you automatically and it wins. [00:01:33] Yeah, this only happens in liberal shitholes. [00:01:36] Yeah, inner cities. [00:01:37] Yeah, this is LA. [00:01:39] Urban areas. [00:01:41] Urban is code name for you know diversity. [00:01:45] Targeted and organized. [00:01:46] Premeditated, organized. [00:01:48] And it's, of course, they're gathering so many of them that I can't even stop just one kid, right? [00:01:53] It's 24, 25 kids. [00:01:55] So, you know, it leaves me kind of helpless. [00:01:57] Salib says they've had minor theft before, but nothing like this. [00:02:01] Adding to his frustration, he says the LAPD couldn't help. [00:02:05] They said there was nothing they can do about it. [00:02:06] They said it's considered shoplifting, and shoplifting isn't something they can really go out. [00:02:11] Yeah, that's not shoplifting. [00:02:14] That's strong-armed robbery. [00:02:16] Well, that's what the cops are going to tell you because everybody's ignorant to the law. [00:02:20] That's burglary. [00:02:21] It's robbery. [00:02:22] Yeah. [00:02:22] You can prove intent on how just by that behavior. [00:02:27] You can prove intent that they didn't intend on buying anything. [00:02:30] Yeah, like we used to catch shoplifters. [00:02:32] When you arrest a shoplifter and they have no money, they don't have a bank account, they arrest them for burglary. [00:02:39] Right. [00:02:40] If they're doing their job. [00:02:41] But anyway, they're not going to do the job because the district attorney's not going to prosecute them. [00:02:44] Right. [00:02:45] It's a blue area. [00:02:46] Laughter. [00:02:47] Salib says, given their tactics, he's sure the thieves have struck before. [00:02:51] And he's hoping they'll be held accountable before they commit another calculated crime. [00:02:57] There's other gas stations all within the area, and these type of things happen all the time, especially nowadays. [00:03:02] So be ready and be cautious. [00:03:06] Salib is calling on city leaders to do more about these takeovers and smash and grab robberies that have been plaguing so many businesses. [00:03:13] Exactly. [00:03:14] Live in Lincoln Heights. [00:03:15] Robberies. [00:03:16] They ain't going to do anything. [00:03:18] Yeah. [00:03:18] Now, let me show you when this happens in the black area. [00:03:24] Same kind of thing, but look how violent it gets. [00:03:26] Police need your help to identify this armed robbery suspect. [00:03:29] The person was caught on camera opening fire inside a West Baltimore gas station. [00:03:34] Box 45's Rebecca Pryor spoke with a gas station employee who claims it all started over a stolen snack cake. [00:03:41] Rebecca. [00:03:44] Marion Kai, this Exxon employee, he tells me that this $1 snack was at the center of this shooting. [00:03:50] He says shopliftings happen here daily, but this time it almost turned deadly. [00:03:57] It happens all day. [00:03:58] Inside the Exxon gas station on West Mulberry Street, employees say shoplifting never seems to stop, especially when students are out on summer break. [00:04:08] That's the only reason why they come to the store. [00:04:11] But this Monday, around 9.30 p.m., a minor crime taking a terrifying turn. [00:04:17] Young kid came in the store, got caught staling, got caught in the act. [00:04:21] Surveillance video shows the suspect holding what appears to be an armful of stolen snacks. [00:04:27] He turns to leave the store, but then comes back brandishing a gun. [00:04:31] He tried to go after, and when we went after it, he turned around and started firing. [00:04:39] Shoot over a Lord Debbie, a zebra cake? [00:04:45] I don't know. [00:04:46] It don't make sense to me. [00:04:48] It really don't. [00:04:49] Hey, remember when Biden said we have super predators? [00:04:52] Yeah. [00:04:52] I agree with him. [00:04:53] He was so right. [00:04:55] I think Hillary said it too. [00:04:57] Super predators. [00:04:58] Bring back the old Democrats. [00:05:01] Stop and frisk. [00:05:02] I'm all for it. [00:05:06] Thankfully, workers were able to dunk for cover and no one was injured. [00:05:11] Though one bullet struck and dented a microwave behind the counter. [00:05:15] The dude actually shot. [00:05:18] Yeah. [00:05:19] Super predator. [00:05:20] Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton was right. [00:05:23] A dollar snack cake. [00:05:26] Super predators. [00:05:27] Bud said, yeah, yeah. [00:05:28] He said these people are super predators. [00:05:31] They'll take a baseball bat and wrap it around your family over nothing. [00:05:35] Yeah. [00:05:37] Over nothing. [00:05:38] It's dollars. [00:05:40] A dollar. [00:05:41] A cake. [00:05:42] This employee arguing the incident points to a growing problem. [00:05:46] They really gotta put a certain amount in the boxes every day because that's the only way they can really control like how they how much they take it. [00:05:56] He says while theft has long been an issue, the offenders are becoming younger and the crimes increasingly violent. [00:06:03] High school and middle school. [00:06:06] It's really that's the main it that's the main issue. [00:06:09] The young kids. [00:06:10] He ain't drunk. [00:06:10] He's high killing. [00:06:17] That dude probably smell like weed. [00:06:19] Oh, man. [00:06:21] It's just, they out of control. [00:06:25] As for this suspect, police have yet to identify him or confirm his age and are asking your help in tracking him down, hopefully before he can strike again. [00:06:35] They do it for the clout just to say they did it. [00:06:39] They got futures. [00:06:41] But the route, the way they going now, they might not even see it. [00:06:48] It is nuts. [00:06:49] Yeah, and what do these two situations have in common? [00:06:53] They're blue areas. [00:06:54] They ran by Democrats. [00:06:55] They're not tough on crime. [00:06:56] They let these people, these people are habitual offenders. [00:06:59] They offend over and over and over. [00:07:02] Nobody ever does anything about it. [00:07:04] Well, you embolden these criminals when you don't do anything about you don't hold them accountable. [00:07:09] You embolden these fools. [00:07:10] Yeah. [00:07:10] They are super predators. [00:07:12] Well, this is what our country would look like if a Democrat ran, if our country became blue, every city would look like this. [00:07:23] The suburbs would look like this. [00:07:25] More than, man, it would be hell on earth. [00:07:31] Damn Democrats, man. [00:07:32] Bring back the old Democrats. [00:07:34] The good Joe Biden to stop and frisk. [00:07:37] Take back the streets. [00:07:40] It doesn't matter whether or not the person that is accosting your son or daughter or my son or daughter, my wife, your husband, my mother, your parents. [00:07:52] It doesn't matter whether or not they were deprived as a youth. [00:07:55] It doesn't matter or not whether or not they had no background that enabled them to become socialize into the fabric of society. [00:08:07] It doesn't matter whether or not they're the victims of society. [00:08:10] The end result is they're about to knock my mother on the head with a lead pipe, shoot my sister, beat up my wife, take on my sons. [00:08:19] So I don't want to ask what made them do this. [00:08:24] They must be taken off the street. [00:08:27] Yeah. [00:08:28] That's number one. [00:08:29] There's a consensus on that. [00:08:31] Unless we do something about that cadre of young people, tens of thousands of them, born out of wedlock, without parents, without supervision, without any structure, without any conscience developing, because they literally, I yield myself three more minutes, because they literally have not been socialized. [00:08:59] They literally have not had an opportunity. [00:09:02] We should focus on them now. [00:09:05] If we don't, they will, or a portion of them will, become the predators 15 years from now. [00:09:13] And Madam President, we have predators on our streets that society has, in fact, in part because of its neglect, created. [00:09:23] Again, it does not mean because we created them that we somehow forgive them or do not take them out of society to protect my family and yours from them. [00:09:32] They are beyond the pale, many of those people. [00:09:35] Yep. [00:09:36] Beyond the pale. [00:09:38] And it's a sad commentary on society. [00:09:40] We have no choice but to take them out of society. === Addressing Street Predators (00:30) === [00:09:46] Hey, look, Republicans don't even talk like this now. [00:09:49] I know. [00:09:50] Well, we do. [00:09:51] Who? [00:09:52] We talk like this. [00:09:53] Tough on crime? [00:09:55] I mean, not like that. [00:09:56] Show me the video. [00:09:57] Not like that, but like we are tougher than the Democrats, which is not saying much. [00:10:01] I want Republicans start talking like this. [00:10:03] I want that old Joe Biden. [00:10:06] That's when he was liberal. [00:10:08] That man was a pioneer. [00:10:11] But then they went far left, went woke. [00:10:13] Yeah, they're not even liberal anymore. [00:10:16] They're progressive.
