Prop 36 passes in California OVERWHELMINGLY

[DigitalDrifter]

So, not everyone is nuts in California. Some sanity comes through.
In deep blue California, Prop 36 which increases penalty for petty theft passed by 70% of the vote. In deep blue Oakland, both the mayor and county public prosecutor were recalled for being soft on crime with more than 65% of the vote. Maybe in the echo chambers of the newsrooms, being tough on crime is a liability but even deep blue areas want order back. They want petty crime prosecuted, they want stores to be normal without lock and key and most importantly they want an end to uncontrolled southern border. Suck on it Soros!

A ballot measure that will roll back some of California's most controversial soft-on-crime policies has overwhelmingly passed in the deep blue state.

Proposition 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act, sought to undo portions of Proposition 47 by increasing penalties for some crimes. When Proposition 47 passed in 2014, it downgraded most thefts from felonies to misdemeanors if the amount stolen was under $950, "unless the defendant had prior convictions of murder, rape, certain sex offenses, or certain gun crimes."

California's leftist ruling class will find a way to ignore the new law. They'll call it "persecutatory discretion" is my guess.

Just like they found a way to ignore Prop 8 several years ago.

People probably haven't noticed it but California has been moving to the right over the last few years. Yeah, it's from -1000 to -990, but still moving. It's like a quake measuring .5 on the Richter scale, barely there but noticeable if you're looking for it with sensitive equipment.

I moved away from California partly due to the radical left elements running the state. My new state Idaho has won big this time. Here ranked choice voting did not get it's claws into the citizens here. Thanks GOD there are states where freedom is very important. Good bye CA effective for me in 2019, when Trump the president still was in power. Thank GOD he is again. Also, Thomas Creech will be executed in a week. In CA he would be living many more years and the democrats would protect this mass murderer.

there maybe hope yet.

California produced Ronald Reagan who still is this nation's finest all time President. I know historians who are democrats do not agree. America agrees with me.

 

[Alan Stallion]

Nice to know some of the propositions went the way I voted for a change.

Also, The Raising of Minimum Wage measure failed, as did the Rent Control measure failed.

On the other hand, Californians can now marry siblings and whatnot, so... uh... yeah.

You MUST elaborate on the marrying siblings thing. What are you referring to?

Proposition 3: Constitutional right to marry.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE I
First—That Section 7.5 of Article I thereof is repealed.
SEC. 7.5. Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.
Second—That Section 7.5 is added to Article I thereof, to read:
SEC. 7.5. (a) The right to marry is a fundamental right.
(b) This section is in furtherance of both of the following:
(1) The inalienable rights to enjoy life and liberty and to pursue and obtain safety, happiness, and privacy guaranteed by Section 1.
(2) The rights to due process and equal protection guaranteed by Section 7.

That's it.
Essentially, anything goes. Incest, polygamy, pedophilia.... marriage is a fundamental right. Period.

They also overwhelmingly rejected rent controls.

So this is intended for gay marriage, but technically, I could marry my brother?

Wow.

That is

The legislators could have just simply written a state constitutional initiative that repealed Proposition 8 that we voted for in 2008, but by not defining marriage, anything goes.

Rent Controls are Government price fixing laws that are against the party that owns real estate. It is not equal treatment of each of the two parties.

A good one for sure. But the albatross of his 2A transgressions will always be around his neck...

I expect the attacks on Reagan to be on this forum. But Americans by and large rely on newspaper articles that are written by Democrats or their lovers.
I think you are talking about the Brady law that later was overturned. Blame it on Brady and not on Reagan.

Not jist that, but also his actions as governor. But his 2A stance aside he was great.

For me, and it was on an old AOL Forum that I first made that claim, before AOL quit that forum and it vanished, I postulated how I came to my conclusion Reagan is our nations finest of all presidents and laid out the complete case. First it was in the 1990s and I did not save the entire bit I posted on this latest computer I own.
All in all it had to do with communism he defeated, how he deregulated our economy and how he felt bad citizens were burned by what in Washington's era were banned as income taxes. Reagan at least awarded citizens with much lower taxes.
