In California, “punching a girlfriend, dragging her from her home by her hair and whipping her with a belt” is classified as “nonviolent”

This is a great example of the Doublespeak that George Orwell wrote about in 1984.

Law reduced prison time for man tied to Sacramento shooting

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A suspect arrested in connection with last weekend’s mass shooting outside bars in Sacramento served less than half his 10-year sentence because of voter-approved changes to state law that lessened the punishment for his felony convictions and provided a chance for earlier release.

Smiley Allen Martin was freed in February after serving time for punching a girlfriend, dragging her from her home by her hair and whipping her with a belt, according to court and prison records.

Those count as nonviolent offenses under California law

The worst part of this is the victims of these crimes are often minorities themselves. Evidently progressives think the perpetrator is more worthy of sympathy than the victim.

Wow y'all.....get out of Cali! all politicians crazy over there

Unfortunately Blacks get preferential treatment pretty much everywhere. And their violent criminal behavior is generally excused as result of their post-civil rights failure to embrace Western civilization because Whitey invented Western civilization.

This is why the only way I would never enter my home state is as a member of a militia to re-take the state

Anyone read the Turner Diaries? Exactly like that.

They were decriminalizing everything like rabid rabbits when James and I made our escape. You can literally buy, sell and shoot drugs on the street and they might give them a ticket they don't show to court for.

Their habit gets worse, their criminal behavior increases as time goes on, more and more people become victims to them and the whole fuckin thing is a mess. You can't leave your car in a grocery store parking lot and expect all the pieces to be there when you return. You aren't guaranteed all your own pieces for that matter. And no one with the authority to do something about the mess just... don't...fuckin...care.

And this was far north cali- not those shitholes down south. Ack.

I'm thinking about heading to Arizona, where the inlaws live.

It's long been the case, but it is becoming more obvious than in the past, that the left wrong tends to take the side of subhuman criminal shit against the side of actual human beings.

They'll claim that it's about protecting the rights of minorities, but regardless of what race the criminal is, regardless of what race the human being is, they always take the side of the criminal against that of the human being.

Black criminals get preferential treatment.

Actual human beings, who are black, and who are victimized by criminals that are also black, not so much.

There is a bizarre psychological dysfunction at work here where feel compelled to support bad behavior as a way to avoid being called names by other people who also support the bad behavior. It acts on the level of a conditioned response and forms a vicious circle of idiocy.

Woke represents the very antithesis of MLK's admonition regarding judging people by the content of their character.

This is called "validation", mostly it's supposed to come from peers.

Lefties seek validation. They're creatures of the hive, validation is like honey to them.

They feel insecure without the ongoing validation

Woke represents the very antithesis of MLK's admonition regarding judging people by the content of their character.

It didn't start that way. Like most other things in leftie land (environmentalism, etc), the scumtards glommed onto it and perverted it, weaponized it, turned it into a partisan political tool

Biden’s Leftist Policies Help Drive Inflation to 8.5%

Good point. What did Biden campaign against? Domestic Oil. He said green energy would take care of it all. He killed Keystone, seeks restricted drilling on Federal Lands. Don’t even think about mentioning offshore drilling to him. Collectively, these policies send a message to the markets that...

I have read some real doozies from Wokesters in response to the Will Smith slap. One was from a particularly idiotic black woman defending Smith and going on and on about imaginary racism, blissfully unaware that she was defending the notion that the proper response to a black man who gets too uppity is to slap him silly.

Come on now- let's be fair. They aren't allowed to just play whack a mole on their women for no reason. She had to have done something drastic, like drop the plate of sammichs or spill his beer.
