VENTURA — “NEVER AGAIN!” — Rally Against Vagrant Crime & Inept Leadership, 2 to 6 p.m. Thursday, May 3 at the Promenade, foot of California Street by the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Ventura.
Motivated by the April 18 murder of Anthony Mele by a vagrant criminal, while sitting in a restaurant with his 5 year–old daughter and wife.
We MUST hold the entire Ventura City Council, AND Chief of Police Ken Corney accountable or they must be removed.
This once-picturesque beach town is drowning under a wave of vagrant crime.
The Cause? A city law, initiated by the Police Chief and approved by City Council, that allows vagrant criminals to commit 25 misdemeanors – or MORE, before they’re ever arrested or go to court. This law killed Anthony Mele.
The city is getting inundated with Council-approved “wet houses”: free homeless housing, with no requirement for stopping drug use, working, or seeking counseling for mental illness.
The police chief’s refusal to enforce the laws equally against vagrants, has resulted in: assaults on tourists, naked homeless running through people’s backyards and groping wives and mothers on the street, defecating on Main Street store fronts, stealing bicycles from children on the street, and cruising the streets in illegal RV’s, dealing drugs, stolen goods, and prostitution.
Objectives are not only to halt vagrant crime, but to get the right kind of help for these people.
Station KFI’s “John and Ken Show” on 640 AM will be broadcasting live at the rally.
