The Issue: Residents of Beverly Hills, Calif., who are arming themselves in the wake of a rise in crime.

Its hard to muster much sympathy for the denizens of Beverly Hills who are awakening to the dystopian results of leftist policies that they have continued to vote for because it hadnt affected them yet (Up in arms with 9MMs in the 90210, Dec. 11).

They are beginning to understand the Second Amendment gives citizens the right to defend themselves when their government has abandoned that responsibility.

Well, many people have been living with the reality of rampant crime and inadequate police response for a long time.

Everyone needs to wake up and stop voting for pro-crime, anti-self- defense politicians who enjoy government security details for themselves and their families and couldnt care less about yours.

Funny how life works, isnt it? Many of these people are the same ones who want to take away others Second Amendment rights.

Now that crime is coming to their neighborhood, having a gun is just fine. The hypocrisy comes out and shows how ignorant most of these people truly are.

Im glad they get to see firsthand what the judges, district attorneys and bail policies are doing to the country.

Most of these people helped put these clueless officials in office, and hopefully have realized they have been used by a small group of people trying to ruin a once-safe country.

Utterly amazing. The very same idiot liberals who voted for radicals to lead them are now arming themselves against the very people they believe to be innocent victims of society.

It cannot be stated too often: This is what you 90210 morons advocated for and voted for. Too bad. You won. Suck it up and quit whining.

Former 60s radical Vera Markowitz said she is now a radical in the middle and not on the extreme of anything. Ive always believed that when you believe in something, you fight for whatever it is.

Without knowing it, Markowitz has updated the definition of a conservative to a former radical who is afraid of getting mugged.

The Issue: Money donated to the campaigns of leftist district attorneys by George Soros nonprofits.

New Yorkers are about to experience the ill winds of George Soros money after his $1 million backing of incoming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (Soros $hock & awe game, Dec. 17).

Bragg is no different than the other radical district attorneys funded by Soros who have managed to increase crime in their major cities to alarming rates.

Day after day, I read about the innocent being slaughtered in our country due to progressive reforms pushed by leftist activists and leftist district attorneys backed by George Soros.

Hardened criminals are arrested and released shortly thereafter to prey on the innocent. When will this madness end?
