In a shocking display of brazen criminality, a Berkeley man, Carlos Kuceja, 28, hurled a live Soviet-made F-1 grenade out of a stolen vehicle during a police chase in California last Friday. The incident, which endangered countless innocent lives, underscores the catastrophic failures of liberal leadership in enforcing law and order. While California’s Democrat-run government continues to push soft-on-crime policies, it was the swift action of law enforcement—not progressive lawmakers—that prevented a potential tragedy.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) spotted Kuceja driving a stolen vehicle in Oakland and attempted a traffic stop, but the suspect led officers on a slow-speed pursuit into Berkeley. During the chase, Kuceja “was seen throwing a bag from the driver’s window,” according to a CHP statement. An officer uninvolved in the pursuit inspected the bag and “observed what appeared to be a grenade with the safety pin partially removed.” The discovery triggered an immediate response from multiple agencies, including the Berkeley Police Department and the FBI’s Crisis Response Squad. Authorities evacuated nearby homes and businesses, while the University of California, Berkeley’s bomb squad confirmed the grenade was “live and capable of detonating.”
Kuceja’s reckless actions highlight the dangers of unchecked criminal behavior—a direct result of liberal policies that prioritize criminals over victims. While Democrats push for defunding the police and reducing penalties for violent offenses, President Donald Trump has consistently championed law enforcement and tough-on-crime measures. “The mission of the CHP is to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security,” the agency stated—a mission that aligns with Trump’s unwavering support for police and public safety.

After a dramatic chase, Kuceja was arrested and now faces multiple felony charges, including possessing a destructive device, fleeing police, and resisting arrest. Yet, this incident raises serious questions: How many more violent criminals are roaming free due to California’s lax enforcement? How many lives will be endangered before liberal leaders admit their policies have failed?
