This guy that you are so mercifully mourning was rehabilitated in Kern County today. His rehabilitation is part of a fairly common theme here. L.A. crook comes here thinking he can act like he's in L.A., and gets dusted by law enforcement. IIRC, a couple years ago 3 serial robbers came up from L.A. county, robbed Office Depot, chase ensued. Long story short, ended with two of them dead, and over a hundred bullet holes in what was left of their car. L.A. robbers don't generally do well here. In the last ten years, probably 10-15 were permanently rehabilitated here.
Kern County isn't typical Kali. Clinton never won, Sheriff issues concealed weapons permits, only county that sends more people to state prison is L.A.. Local businesses and population are pretty supportive of L.E.. Local L.E. joke is "Come on vacation, leave on probation".
