| Swift Capture of the 7-Eleven Spree Killers Shows What Taking Crime Seriously Looks Like |
| 2022-07-17 |
| [REDSTATE] At 1:10 p.m. on Friday, a joint task force made up of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the Santa Ana Police Department, the Fullerton Police Department, the Brea Police Department, and Sherlocks from the Orange County District Attorney Bureau of Investigations apprehended 20-year-old Malike Patt, and 44-year-old Jason Payne in connection with the July 11, 7-Eleven serial robberies and murders in Ontario, Upland, Riverside, Santa Ana, Brea, and La Habra. The fact that these suspects were apprehended within FIVE days of the commission of the crimes is highly unusual, if not unprecedented. The coordination of agencies across the counties, and community involvement, including a $100,000 bounty for information leading to the killers, was pivotal in the apprehension and arrests. From CBS News: Two suspects have been arrested in connection with a The Orange County District Attorney’s Office announced one arrest Friday afternoon, according to CBS Los Angeles. The Brea Police Department later announced a second arrest. In a news briefing Friday evening, Santa Ana Police Chief David Valentin identified the two suspects as 20-year-old Malike Patt and 44-year-old Jason Payne, both of Los Angeles. Patt is believed to be the primary suspect responsible for the robberies, Valentin said. Payne’s role in the crimes is unclear. The two were arrested together in L.A. at about 1:10 p.m. on Friday, Valentin said. One of the suspects was injured during the arrest and taken to a hospital for treatment. All of the agencies involved in taking down the 7-11 Spree Killers held a presser on 5:00 p.m. on Friday in Santa Ana, California. Santa Ana Police Chief David Valentin laid out the facts of the spree, and talked about the suspects who were apprehended. Twenty-year-old Patt seemed to be the primary subject behind the murder-robberies, while the forty-four year old Payne’s involvement was stated to be unclear at this point. Valentin outlined the timeline from July 11: 12:11 a.m. armed robbery at the 7-Eleven in Ontario 1:35 a.m. armed robbery at the 7-Eleven in Upland 1:50 a.m. armed robbery and attempted murder shooting at the 7-Eleven in Riverside 3:03 a.m. armed robbery at Yum Yum Donuts in Santa Ana 3:25 a.m. a murder/shooting at the 7-Eleven in Santa Ana 4:18 a.m. at the 7-Eleven in Brea 4:55 a.m. armed robbery and murder at the 7-Eleven in La Habra According to ATF Special Agent in Charge Monique Villegas, the investigation covered extensive work from various agencies, and she stated that the Orange County Violent Crime Task Force was formed five years ago for just this purpose: to pursue and solve Santa Ana Mayor Vicente Sarmiento expressed his sympathies and condolences to those who have bit the dust. "This crime spree received national attention, regional attention because of the depravity and the randomness of the act. It chilled, really our communities." Sarmiento praised Chief Valentin, his staff, and his officers. "[they] know how important it is for many of us, and especially the families to have closure, to have justice, and to have some solace. And we know that this can’t undo the crimes that have been enacted against our communities, but what is does is it gives a sense of at least finality. And so, I am certainly grateful for all the work that has been done up here from all the agencies." This is a stark contrast to Los Angeles County and their District Attorney George Gascòn, whose soft-on-crime directives, and coddling of criminals in the name of reform has him under threat of recall. Gascòn’s most recent action is disbanding the Lifer Unit, which informs and aids victims and their families when a convict has a parole hearing or may receive early release. Gascòn’s special directives have stripped crime victims of any closure, and only serve to re-victimize and traumatize those families that only seek finality and justice. |

| #1 JUSTICE, SOUTHERN STYLE. Some years ago, a certain GA. County had a string of 7-11 and Mom-Pop convenience store armed robberies. The sheriff, during that summer, placed some armed deputies in several stores coolers aligned with the customer/robbers side of the register. RESULTS: After a few dead robbers, and the robberies quickly dissipated. |
