The brokenhearted Los Angeles father whose 24-year-old daughter was brutally murdered as she worked in an upscale furniture store last Thursday eviscerated the politicians who have let criminals run amok in the city, saying, “We have a lot of politicians that somehow forgot about people and think the key to getting elected is to support the lowest rung of our society and to give them rights and somehow that’s the answer to getting votes.”
Todd Kupfer, whose daughter Brianna, a UCLA student who worked part-time at Croft House on North La Brea Avenue, where she was murdered last Thursday afternoon by a man wearing a dark hoodie, a white N-95 mask, and dark clothing, told Fox News, “Crime is truly spiking, and we have a lot of criminals on the streets that shouldn’t be out.”

Kupfer added tearfully, “She was a kind soul and always was trying to make herself better and everything around her better.”
“She cared about people,” he continued. “She liked fun clothes and thought they said something about people’s personalities….She wanted to create a clothing line.”
He said of Brianna’s 21-year-old sister Mikaela, “They were best friends. She is not doing well. She’s completely broken.”
“A customer entered the store 20 minutes later and found Brianna Kupfer dead, lying in a pool of blood, police said. Kupfer was alone in the store, which was unusual, her dad said. Usually, there were two employees present during business hours,” Fox News reported.
“She was the kind of person we need on this Earth,” Kupfer said of his daughter. “She was strong and vivacious.”
He concluded, “We can’t afford to have the good constantly knocked down by the bad. We need to champion [my daughter] as a beacon of what’s wrong and make sure that people recognize that – because it could be their children next, and it’s just an impossible price to pay.”
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, elected in November 2020 and faced a recall that has after he, “issued a set of special orders in December that sparked a backlash from law enforcement groups, deputy DAs in his own office, and families impacted by violent crime. The directives included stopping the practice of trying juveniles as adults, ending cash bail for low-level nonviolent offenses, taking the death penalty off the table, and a ban on prosecutors seeking all sentencing enhancements – a change that he later scaled back after public outcry,” The Daily Wire reported, adding:
Recall organizers must collect 579,062 valid signatures from registered voters in the county by October 27 to trigger a recall. If they are successful, voters would likely decide Gascón’s fate in a special election next year. Last week, leaders of the effort sent an email to supporters that said their campaign had gathered more than 100,000 signatures, raised $1,000,000, and enlisted more than 1,000 volunteers countywide.
