Stephanie Pratt, sister of The Hills fame Spencer Pratt, just dropped a bombshell on social media, declaring she’s worried about LA and slamming Mayor Karen Bass as an assbass who’s failing the city hard. In a candid Instagram rant, she didn’t hold back, calling out the Democrat mayor’s leadership amid skyrocketing crime, homelessness, and urban decay that’s turned the City of Angels into a no-go zone for many residents. But here’s the twist: she also took shots at her own brother Spencer’s quixotic mayoral bid, suggesting his crystal-healing, reality-TV persona isn’t the fix LA needs either. This family feud spilling into politics underscores a deeper frustration bubbling in the entertainment epicenter—folks are fed up with soft-on-crime policies that leave law-abiding citizens vulnerable.
For the 2A community, Stephanie’s outburst is a goldmine of validation. LA under Bass has seen violent crime surge 10% in 2023 alone, per LAPD stats, with homicides up and carjackings rampant—facts that make her plea for help resonate like a dog whistle for self-defense rights. Bass’s administration has doubled down on gun control, pushing for stricter storage laws and red-flag expansions while ignoring root causes like unchecked gang activity and defunded policing. Imagine if more Angelenos like the Pratts could legally carry concealed without the nightmare of California’s byzantine permitting process—crime stats from shall-issue states like Florida show defensive gun uses dwarfing criminal misuse. Spencer’s run, meme-worthy as it is, highlights the void: when celebrities call out failure but offer no pro-2A solutions, it spotlights how disarmament agendas exacerbate chaos, leaving families like the Pratts worried and defenseless.
The implications? This could spark a ripple in Hollywood’s blue bubble, where even reality stars are waking up to the failures of gun-free fantasies. As California’s recall fever builds (hello, Newsom 2.0), 2A advocates should amplify voices like Stephanie’s to frame the narrative: real help for LA means restoring rights, not restricting them. If Bass’s assbass era ends with a pro-rights challenger, it might just be the plot twist that saves the city—and sets a precedent for blue strongholds nationwide. Stay vigilant, patriots; the headlines are aligning.
