1850No fucking wonder I'm ready to slaughter millions at the drop of, well, anything. Got to stop drinking the tap water.
Los Angeles County was formed.
In April the first election was held in Los Angeles County. A three-person “Court of Sessions,” was elected as the first governing body. George T. Burrill was elected as the first Sheriff of Los Angeles County.
The jurisdiction of the Sheriff’s Office when Los Angeles County was first formed included the territories that are now Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and Kern Counties.
In a one year period starting in September of 1850, 31 people were murdered in Los Angeles. Out of a population of only 2,500, this is by far the highest homicide rate in American history. This does not include the murder of Indians, Blacks, Asians and Mexicans which were not considered crimes, or, the murders that nobody ever knew about in the vast California wilderness.
