Californians done with liberal policies? Los Angeles DA loses appeal, San Fran DA faces recall
Are liberal California cities finally having “buyer’s remorse” as their state turns into a cesspool of drugs, homelessness and crime? Even The New York Times released an article titled “In San Francisco, Democrats are at War with Themselves Over Crime.” That’s liberal speak for ‘uh oh, our policies are making things worse.’
San Francisco has “buyer’s remorse” after electing “rogue” District Attorney, and son of domestic terrorists, Chesa Boudin, writes National Review. “Fueled by concerns about burglaries and hate crimes, San Francisco’s liberal district attorney, Chesa Boudin, faces a divisive recall in a famously progressive city” writes the Times.
The Los Angeles Times reports that homicides hit 397 in 2021, which was the highest number in 15 years and a 50 percent increase from 2019. Robberies involving firearms were also up 57 percent from 2020 and 60 percent from 2019. So far 2022 is also outpacing 2021.
“Violent crime of all types through April 23 was up 7.2% compared to last year, with much of the increase from aggravated assaults and robberies, many of which involved firearms, according to police. Robberies are up 18.5% over last year,” the Times said.
In Los Angeles late last week, an appeals court upheld a lower court’s ruling that LA District Attorney George Gascon cannot refuse to charge criminals under the state’s there-strikes law.
The Western Journal reports:
After Gascon took office in December 2020, he implemented a series of what he characterized as reforms designed to end “mass incarceration.”
“The measures included barring deputy DAs from prosecuting strikes, special circumstances and sentencing enhancements,” according to Fox.
The Association of Deputy District Attorneys for Los Angeles County responded by suing Gascon that same month to stop him from forcing them to break the law.
“While an elected District Attorney has wide discretion in determining what charges to pursue in an individual case, that discretion does not authorize him or her to violate the law or to direct attorneys representing the district attorney’s office to violate the law,” Michele Hanisee, president of the ADDA, said in a December 2020 news release announcing the suit.
Fox reported, “California’s Three Strike Law was enacted in 1994 after voters approved Proposition 184 by an overwhelming majority.”
San Francisco voters have officially recalled extreme progressive Chesa Boudin. The San Francisco Chronicle noted the event as a “historic recall.”

“The election, closely-watched across the nation, came after months of intense debate over criminal justice and public safety in San Francisco” writes the Chronicle.
The voters are “frustrated with a dysfunctional city” and horrendous crime rates. They saw “an elected official unwilling to acknowledge he was at least partly responsible for the problems – and cast him out.”
Boudin received an overwhelming 60% vote in favor of recall. San Francisco voters “embrace being labeled as progressive” but “decided they wanted a more traditional crime-fighter as district attorney and delivered what will be viewed nationally as a blow to efforts to reshape criminal justice” adds the Chronicle.

California voted for those people. You get what ask for. Let’s see if they learned a lesson. My bet is no they haven’t.

Sara,
This article prompted me to send to you, today, my resent message regarding my response to Peggy Hall’s Taming the Tyrants. In additon, this is my response to this article.
It’s ALL stall tactics. The Elderly are dying. we are useless eaters to them. What happened to sedition, insurrection, and treason. WE need our beloved military now to squash the bugs that these traitors are. These now are cornered lions and they lash out at the weak.Our brave men and women are creating miracles around the world. We now need a miracle in California. May G-d bless them with strength and bravery during these horrific and dangerous times.

Are liberals done with liberalism? That is absurdly wishful thinking. Are fish done with water?

I don’t think Democrats will have any problems getting elected in California, where there really isn’t a Republican Party. The primary system has eliminated Republicans from the general election ballot.
Likely the same thing will happen throughout the rest of the country, since trends in California lead the rest of the country by about five to ten years.
Right now, the politicians in Washington DC are getting the Republican Party outlawed, and the courts aren’t opposing, and in fact are assisting them by refusing to take cases. Widespread chaos and, violence enables the Democratic Party to get elected, as happened in 2020.
The Watts riots permanently destroyed large parts of Los Angeles. and there hasn’t been any Republican representation in those areas since, so the greater the destruction in Los Angeles, San Francisco and the rest of California, the stronger will be the hold by the Democrats.
The flight of companies and industries from California, to such places as Texas and Idaho indicates residents of California understand this and are leaving rather than deal with the long term consequences.
