California is backwards about crime. We have DAs like the one in your article who have mandates to "decriminalize youth"... if your youth is spent assaulting and stealing, all you are doing is getting a few years of penalty-free practice before you do it as an adult. These behaviors and actions are illegal for a reason. So people who work and pay for their things can just have them taken away, often violently, by people who don't? That doesn't make sense and it will just lead to more vigilantism, which will be framed as more violence against youth, which will be used to justify more laws that criminalize self defense.
We have a governor signing bills that make it more expensive to own guns and criminalize legal and safe practices of law abiding gun owners. While at the same time his state is being soft on violent criminals. He just signed an additional 11% tax on guns, ammo and accessories to fund education against gun violence. Guess who won't be paying this tax? Criminals. Thieves. People from out of state. These people don't show up for education in the first place and he's funding more with money taken from people who follow his retarded laws. Before the gun tax bill was revised, the main justification for it was a statistic that said 94% of victims of gun violence were black. It didn't say who was the perpetrator though, and it didn't create new penalties for violent criminals, it simply enhanced fees and restrictions for people who already follow our ridiculous laws. It has been revised to quote the CDC about violence and trauma without naming any specific races, just "people of color."
Democrats have gone from tiptoeing around the problem of violent crime in these communities, to blaming it on external consequences, to outright enabling it. All while pretending to have a monopoly on virtue.
And, he doesn't care, either. Gavin Newsom has always been about Gavin Newsom. As Joe Rogan described him - a cold-hearted technocrat beholden to the biggest dollar donations.

Gavin Newsom is the undertaker of a California that has become the Cemetery of the American Dream.
