Chaos erupted in Hollywood when a driver plowed into a crowd outside a nightclub, injuring thirty innocent people. The driver had been kicked out of the club just minutes before the attack. This was no accident – security footage shows he drove onto the sidewalk on purpose.
Fernando Ramirez, a 29-year-old man, targeted the crowd waiting to enter The Vermont Hollywood club. He crashed his gray Nissan into women standing in line, a taco truck, and a valet stand. The attack happened around 2 AM as the nightclub was closing.
The victims were mostly young women enjoying a night out. Seven people were critically hurt and six seriously injured. Many were just buying food or waiting for friends when the car struck them. Los Angeles firefighters rushed to help, setting up a triage area for the wounded.
Enraged bystanders pulled Ramirez from his car and beat him. Then someone in the crowd shot him. The shooter ran away before police arrived. Ramirez survived and was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.
Mayor Karen Bass called it a “heartbreaking tragedy” but offered no real solutions. Her weak statement won’t stop this from happening again. First responders did heroic work while city leaders failed to protect citizens.
Police confirm this was a deliberate act of violence. Ramirez had been escorted out of the club eight minutes earlier. He returned specifically to hurt people. Now detectives are searching for the shooter who attacked him.
Hollywood’s streets turned into a warzone because of one man’s rage. Thirty hardworking Americans are suffering because of this evil attack. The violence shows how lawlessness is spreading in our cities.
This nightmare proves we need stronger policing and harsher penalties. Families deserve safe streets, not chaos and bloodshed. Liberal policies have made our communities dangerous, and it’s time to take back our cities.
