## Resource

A Fresno man named Larry Torrez is set to face court today after allegedly storming into City Attorney Andrew Janz’s backyard with a knife, banging on the door—leading to his arrest. Charged with trespassing, attempted burglary, and threatening a public official, the incident has reignited concerns over safety for elected officials. It’s not the first time: in 2017, Supervisor Luis Chavez endured two break-ins, allegedly by someone targeting him for his public status and perceived wealth. With online misinformation fueling threats and a national rise in violent rhetoric against public figures, officials warn that such actions carry serious consequences. This hearing is a pivotal moment in a growing national conversation about protecting those who serve. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
