I&#8217;ve seen people do that before with fifty and one hundred dollar bills, but never a twenty.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you get a lot of counterfeit money in here?&#8221; I asked her.<\/p>\n<p>She gave me a look like I&#8217;d just stepped off the turnip truck.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Living in Los Angeles, I&#8217;m aware of our city&#8217;s high crime rate, but I didn&#8217;t know counterfeiting was a problem, especially a rash of counterfeit twenty dollar bills.<\/p>\n<p>Counterfeiting is a crime that requires a minimal level of intelligence and sophistication.

You&#8217;re familiar with that one, right? A gang of black &#8220;youths,&#8221; clad in hooded sweatshirts and wearing face masks to conceal their identity, storm into a jewelry or electronics store, hammers in hand, and smash open the glass display cases. They then grab whatever they want and waltz out.<\/p>\n<p>Or, lacking hammers, packs of fifty or more &#8220;youths&#8221; descend en masse into an unsuspecting retail business, grab anything that isn&#8217;t nailed down, and run out the door.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody lifts a finger to stop these marauding animals or the smash-and-grabbers, of course, because that would be racist, a crime far worse than the felony theft taking place.<\/p>\n<p>I was stunned the first time I witnessed one of these spectacles. Dozens of black teens with crazed looks on their faces swarming all around me, huffing and grunting like wild animals. They smashed and knocked over displays, grabbed whatever they could and bolted for the door.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.henrymakow.com\/2022\/02\/mike-stone-la-shithole.html?_ga=2.90909402.1521028961.1644785301-346964864.1627224119\">Continues \u2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Stone on tide of chaotic lawlessness currently engulfing Los Angeles <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":249723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-249718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Current_Affairs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=249718"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249718\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":249722,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249718\/revisions\/249722"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/249723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=249718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=249718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=249718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
