Yes, U-Haul Ran Out of Trucks for People Moving Out of California

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/u-haul-california/

A Jan. 3, 2022, news release published by moving company U-Haul reported that it had rented out so many trucks to Californians moving out of the state that it ran out of inventory.

“California remained the top state for out-migration, but its net loss of U-Haul trucks wasn’t as severe as in 2020,” the U-Haul news release stated. “That can be partially attributed to the fact that U-Haul simply ran out of inventory to meet customer demand for outbound equipment.”

The top destination for its equipment? Texas, according to U-Haul.

A 16-year-old, up-and-coming rapper charged with shooting an NYPD cop in the Bronx walked free on bond Thursday — and cops are fuming over it.

Camrin Williams, who is also known by the rap name C Blu, posted his $250,000 bond after being locked up at a Brooklyn juvenile facility on gun and assault charges in the shooting of a 27-year-old cop in Belmont.

“If anybody wants to know why we have a crisis of violence in this city, or why we’re about to bury two hero police officers, look no further than this disgraceful bail release,” NYPD Police Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch said in a statement.

“This individual chose to carry illegal guns twice,” Lynch said. “He chose to fight with and shoot a New York City police officer. There’s no reason to believe he won’t do the exact same thing when he’s out on the street tonight.

Chief Ortiz: "You come to work, you’re frustrated. You’re upset because you didn’t get the desired outcome that you want. Doesn’t mean you give up."

Officer: "you keep releasing criminal aliens into the country."

Chief Ortiz: "Why are you guys getting caught up in semantics? … I’ve been doing this job as long as y’all."

Officer: "That’s the problem, chief, for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. That’s exactly what’s happening here. Good men are doing nothing. You’re allowing illegal aliens to be dropped off in communities."

“Some people think this means I’ve changed, but I assure you, I have not, I am still the same unmarried, pot-smoking libertine I always was. I have many flaws, but you can’t accuse me of maturing."

“Let’s get this straight,” It’s not me who changed — it’s the left, who is now made up of a small contingent who’ve gone mental, and a large contingent who refuse to call them out for it. But I will.”

“That’s why I’m a hero at Fox these days, which shows just how much liberals have their head up their a**, because if they really thought about it, they would have made me a hero on their media.”

"The oath of office I took was to comedy. And if you do goofy s–t, wherever you are on the spectrum, I’m going to make fun of you because that is where the gold is. And the fact that they are laughing at it should tell you something: it rings true."

“When people read that San Francisco has basically legalized shoplifting, they think 'Democrats have gone nuts'. Declaring capitalism is slavery. Canceling Lincoln and Dr. Seuss. Teaching children they are oppressors and math is racist. Making Mr. Potato Head gender-neutral.”
