Emulating SF's approach to criminal prosecution will get you SF-type results, whether you intended those results or not.

Then your reading comprehension skills appear to be in need of exercise.

You're such an idiot

I guess babies/kids are fair game
It's a cruel world out there, better toughen up

perfection is the enemy of progress.

The problem is that liberalism taken to the extreme will cause unwanted consequences.

So will too much law and order.

The solution is to hire quality people to execute the work.

Good workers need the freedom to make the right decisions for that situation.

It's the only way.

It would be interesting to read the details of that specific case. (I'm not going to do that but it might be telling.)

I think it's a combo of bad policies and problems that are really difficult to solve.

The mistake people make is to simplify.

There are good reasons to do this.

But you run the risk of assessing the situation inaccurately.

Thanks for reading this post.

I appreciate value of the time and attention it took to read this.

Spanish, dude. Spanish, well, Basque...

Where's Coque?

I wonder if he's still hates at me.

LA county new DA

New Directive
In his directive to all deputy district attorneys, Gascon wrote the following misdemeanors will be declined for prosecution, except for certain cases:

• Trespassing
• Disturbing the peace
• Driving without license
• Prostitution
• Criminal threats
• Drug possession
• Minor with alcohol
• Drinking in public
• Public intoxicating
• Loitering
• Resisting arrest
• Under the influence of a controlled substance

Fox 11 also reported Gascon has done away with cash bail, the death penalty, all sentencing enhancements, and the special circumstances committee.

Yesterday a woman convicted of beating a 3 month old baby who is now unable to walk, sit, eat & is blind was sentenced to probation because special enhancements were dropped under the gascon directive
Way to go LA county, you voted in a gem
He defeated DA Lacey a black woman who Gascon claimed was not tough enough on police misconduct cases

When asked Gascon was quoted as saying, we dont understand & he needs to do this to fix the system

Don't some of these mandates go directly against the propositions that CA voters voted for?

That last sentence in laidback's post show exactly what these tyrants from the Cathedral think about us

I forgot about him

You live in Az. Nobody in LA thinks anything about you.

 

[Autoprax]

I forgot about him

I teased one of the few female posters here and he white knighted for her hard.

The funny thing was that I was just teasing playfully (and the joke was funny) and he lost his sh!t.

He made it weird.

I have a history of teasing people (play fighting) and they loose it and hate me forever.

It's all fun and game until that point.

Then it's over.

I wonder why I don't have no friends.

The masses will always resort to brutality.

The liberal elites have to dial it back.

Yes, they run the risk of dialing it back too much, no doubt.

Wisdom of the mob is to stone the weak.

Us? I thought you lived in OC when you were in SoCal.

Tyrant?

If you mean the end of cash bail prop, yes, that failed. Cities can still do what they want, apparently. I'm sure we'll have a recall for Gascon, too. We recall everything: cribs, play pens, cars, governors, DAs, I'm about to recall a surfboard I'm not using...everything's on the table.

Gascon's platform was well known

he campaigned as a uber progressive

we'll see how it goes

I predict it won't go well.
Crime will go up to 1980s levels within a few years.
By the 2024 election the inner city folks will be demanding law and order.
History repeats itself.

there's a pretty good data set in place already - SF and Portland

Sounds like Gascon is pursuing a similar strategy to Chesa Boudin in SF (who is building on Gascon's previous efforts) and Mike Schmidt in Portland.

Given the starting point for his tenure and the lack of city, county, state and Federal funding that we'll have for the next few years, I'm thinking it won't go well

 

[$kully]

Sometimes I think Laidback and clayster are the same poster.

 

[Autoprax]

Is it just the policy causing these problems in the liberal cities?

Or are they a response to problems?

Oside aint liberal and we got a hell of a homeless problem.

Look for over reaction in the short term and under reaction in the long term.
