7-11 Joins In the Gascon Recall Victory Celebrations With Store-Wide Savings

[CtizenFreePress] More of the kind of thing we saw yesterday. Tweets can be seen at the link.

Courtesy of Skidmark, the Daily Mail has the usual photos, adding:

More than 100 people descended on the convenience store in Los Angeles, California, on August 15, after blocking the roads

They ransacked the store while shouting at each other, with surveillance footage capturing them throwing items across the counter

One member of staff said that he feared for his life, and put up 'no resistance' to the looters according to the police

LAPD are appealing for anyone with information about the incident to come forward, claiming that those involved had also been driving 'recklessly' before the incident

LAPD Det. Ryan Moreno said that there was 'no resistance' and 'no fight put up' by the staff members working that day.

He added: 'We really want to prevent this from becoming a new trend.'

Those involved face charges of vandalism, grand theft and looting when they are apprehended by authorities.

Before the store incident, the crowd held a street takeover nearby and blocked traffic with their vehicles and performed 'donuts.'

Another street takeover, just an hour later and less than two miles down the road saw a teenage boy shot dead.

The brazen incident comes after Proposition 47 was passed in California in 2014, meaning that some property theft was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor.

The law, aimed at complying with a California Supreme Court order to reduce prison overcrowding, raised the threshold for felony theft to $950 from $400.

Two or more people who conspire to 'cheat and defraud any person or any property, by any means which are in themselves criminal' can face only one year in a county prison, a fine of $10k or a combination of th two.

Soft-on-crime progressive District Attorney George Gascón has been slammed for his policies which other politicians claim ‘weaken’ their laws.

LAPD data shows that as of March 2022 robberies had skyrocketed in Los Angeles by a staggering 17.2% from the same period of time in 2021.

Fed-up California assemblyman Rudy Salas, a Democrat, introduced a bill that would lower the amount a suspect can steal before facing a felony to $400, which was the original threshold before Proposition 47 passed.

Salas said: 'Enough is enough, we need to fight back against the criminals who are stealing from our communities.

'We have seen the unintended consequences of Prop 47’s weakening of our theft laws and I believe California voters are ready to make their voices heard on this issue again.'

The wild street takeovers have become more of an issue in recent months, with locals in LA begging police to do something about the problem.

#3 Just like the Newsom recall, this was probably co-opted from the start. Much like Trump's Presidency.

#4 I have wonder for some time about the issue of the Soros backed prosecutorial election strategy as a tool for transformational change in urban America. It is beyond doubt working to destroy the public trust in the traditional model of our criminal justice. The argument is one of traditional circular logic: The system is racist and disproportionately punishes people of color. The premise is that since it is racist to imply that people of color are disproportionately criminal in their behavior, the only explanation must be racism.

(The fact that if you simply transpose the argument for criminality from race to economic/educational factors and proportions of single-family homes lacking a male father figure, you get exactly the same outcomes. Namely that poorly educated males from impoverished, matriarchal led homes are disproportionately prone to criminal behavior.)

But that issue aside, the question of the Progressive DA's toxic no bail, undercharging of arrestees and widespread blanket un-enforcement of existing law is the wellspring of the epidemic of criminal behavior. The looming question, is can they cloak the blanket disregard for existing law under the established principal of 'Prosecutorial Discretion'? I posit they in fact cannot. That such policy itself is a crime, and usurps illegally the legislative power that created the laws itself. Blanket failure to enforce, or reduce charging unreasonably by policy is in fact, by permissive intent, the same as the commission of the criminal act itself. It is malfeasance in office, an act of perjury against the oath of office itself and illegal acts made under color of authority. When is a state legislature going to demand that the courts act to arrest the DA's in question or disbar them for misconduct as an officer of the court? Enough is enough, we are witnessing the widespread arson of the criminal justice system!

#6 #4 At the federal level, you might want to send a few minutes perusing this site.
