Olympian brutally attacked in broad daylight gives an emotional plea for LA to crackdown on crime



On “The Rubin Report” Friday, BlazeTV host Dave Rubin talks to James Lindsay, Libby Emmons, and Elisha Krauss about Olympian Kim Glass' emotional plea for something to be done about the rampant crime in Los Angeles, California, after she was brutally attacked in broad daylight by a repeat offender.

Glass, a former Olympic volleyball player who won a silver medal in 2008, was attacked by a homeless man with a metal pipe as she left a restaurant in downtown LA. Her attacker was out on parole despite felony charges in 2018 and 2019.

"There's been other victims around Los Angeles and it keeps on happening," Glass said on Fox News. "Everyone's paying attention to me because I'm an Olympian, right, but ... the other victims haven't been vindicated. Every time someone's being let out on the street, again and again, they're doing a disservice. And they're pretty much saying that these victims' traumas were in vain."

She went on to add, "At this point, what's the answer, you know? Because ... everything that they're doing right now, it's not working. There needs to be a change."
