Soft-on-crime Los Angeles DA ripped after child molester faces little or no time
[NYPOST] Los Angeles’ top prosecutor is under fire for allowing a transgender woman who sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl as a minor to face a no-jail wrist-slap sentence.Hannah Tubbs, now 26, pleaded guilty to attacking the girl in a women’s bathroom at a Denny’s restaurant in 2014, two weeks before she turned 18, the Los Angeles Times reported.

LA District Attorney George Gascón filed charges against Tubbs in early 2020, not long after taking office.

But the progressive DA has refused to try juveniles as adults, citing studies that show adolescent brains aren’t fully developed until age 25 and claiming that young offenders can be rehabilitated in juvenile facilities.

At her sentencing later this month, Tubbs faces a short stint in a juvenile hall or probation, according to the LA Times, which reported that the Sheriff’s Department has offered to house her in an adult facility.

The potential punishment, however, has drawn backlash for being too lax.

"I would ask the public to reach out to Mr. Gascon and express their concerns and their outrage on a matter such as this involving a sexual predator," said Lt. Richard Ruiz of the LA County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Bureau, Fox LA reported.

#2 We are FAST heading to the point where crimes are going to stop being reported and corpses will be dumped for cleanup. If you fail to provide what people consider to be justice, they will fill the niche

#4 The problem is that when law enforcement is seen as not enforcing the law fairly, private citizens act on their own (or together in lynch mobs). Rule of law protects criminals at least as much as it does the law-abiding.

#5 ^ These days it seems to protect criminals a little more. And often puts citizens who are only exercising their rights in a lawful manner through the wringer.

#11 Leftists only have a high tolerance for the pain of others. When enough of them suffer because of these policies, they will abandon these heart-felt "principles" the way anyone else flushed the toilet.

#12 More on the U.P.; they are threatening to move their ops elsewhere as their customers are understandably pissed.
Whether LA would care is another topic.

#13 Well. Train robbery is a federal crime:

Federal Criminal Laws Related to Mass Transportation Systems Code section 97. 18 U.S. Code section 1991 – Entering train to commit crime: This statute makes it a crime to willfully and maliciously trespass upon or enter a railroad train, car, or locomotive with the intent to commit murder or robbery.

What's happening in the railyard is more likely classed as burglary, and as it probably isn't being done by white supremacists, Oath Keepers or white teenage boys crossing state lines, feds ain't innerested.
