George Gascon institutes a new ‘prosecutorial approach’
George Gascon, Los Angeles County’s new head prosecutor, has unveiled an agenda Monday that will usher in changes to the local criminal justice system. This
new ‘prosecutorial approach’ includes a refusal to prosecute certain crimes, on top of other sweeping changes.
As of Tuesday, many misdemeanor cases will be declined or dismissed prior to arraignment unless “factors for considerations” exist. This is a baldfaced slap in the face to all those legislators who worked to get those laws passed, and the voters who elected them. This jerk ought to have been fired from his job, on his first day on it.
Prosecutors will not seek the death penalty, and those accused of misdemeanors and low-level felonies will be referred to community-based programs. Hear that kids ? Wanna paw that pretty girl you've been eyeing ? Punch out that guy you hate ? Now you can. No repercussions beyond community service.
Generosity George also has something to say about the insane. He said many misdemeanor cases will be dismissed, and that nearly half of those incarcerated on pre-trial misdemeanor offenses suffer from mental illness. Well, they're not the only ones suffering from mental illness. Apparently George Gascon is in that group too.
“Our prosecutorial approach should be biased towards keeping youth out of the juvenile justice system and when they must become involved, our system must employ the “lightest touch” necessary in order to provide public safety,” Gascon also said.
The fact is, that warped idea of "lightest touch", and the idea of "keeping youth out of the juvenile justice system" is exactly the same as the bonehead Obama "Promise Program" enacted in Broward county, Florida, which resulted in keeping Nicolas Cruz out of the Florida juvenile justice system, kept his records concealed, enabled him to buy guns, and then use them to kill 14 people in the Parkland Massacre.
A copy of Gacon's speech showed this horrifying piece of lunacy >> “For decades tough-on-crime advocates, the private prison industry, the bail industry and law enforcement unions — all organizations that profit off taking away your liberties — they sold us a false narrative that more police, stiffer penalties and more people locked up in prison made us safer,” he said, according to a copy of the speech.
I don't see how law enforcement unions profit off taking away anyone's liberties, and just because a private prison or bail companies make a profit, that doesn't mean that they're doing anything wrong. The clincher is when Gascon says that the idea of having more police, stiffer penalties and more people locked up in prison made us safer, is a "false narrative". This guy is truly off his rocker.
More police, stiffer penalties, and more people locked up in prison OF COURSE make us more safe. I'll even add to that, having prisons be tougher, with chain gangs, and tight restrictions of amenities & privileges, would also make us more safe, by making them more of a place people will want to avoid going to.
Heaven help all of us, wherever fools like this manage to get degrees of power. And why bother having a legislature at all, to make laws. when nuts like this can come along and just obliterate them ?
