It’s bad enough when it appeared to be mere stupidity that Brown and his administration was just surprised that AB109/Prison Realignment has resulted in released felons re-offending …
Unexpectedly!
… but only malice can explain the blame of the rise in crime and, especially, second-strikers on county District Attorneys.
San Bernardino District Attorney Mike Ramos was on Los Angeles radio station KFI640 this afternoon and revealed that not only is Brown’s administration blaming the county prosecutors, but that Moonbeam himself is calling DA’s on their cell phones and attempting to pressure them to water down the prosecution of re-offending felons.
Wrap your head around that for a moment. The governor of California doesn’t want criminals prosecuted to the full extent of the law. He wants serious, violent criminals who are charged with yet another serious, violent crime not to be charged with a strike.
There are no words that can adequately describe such betrayal and dereliction of duty.

If only the California Republican party wasn’t a bunch of pansies. You’d think they could make hay out of soft-on-crime Governor.
Criminals are just misunderstood. It’s not their fault. If the world were a better place, they wouldn’t have to be criminals.

I’m SO frustrated … everyone just assumes Moonbeam is going to cruise to another term cuz SURPLUS!!
YEARRRRRGGH!
It’s a two-fer.
Hold down the crime stats, this is done everywhere that gun control runs rampant, and throw a cheap (for the wealthy and powerful) life line to an important part of the Democratic machine’s muscle and gun control helpmeet .
California is just Chicago writ larger.
Really? I would have thought “Jerry Brown’s third term” would do the trick quite nicely.
After all, those of us who saw the first two said a thing or two about it…
There are no words that can adequately describe such betrayal and dereliction of duty.
Here’s one: Obamanation
“….Because everyone knows if you keep repeating the same myth long enough it has to be true, just ask the “free press”.
– As Groucho would say: “The only thing free about the press is they’re free to lie through their Leftwing teeth.”
I’m with McGehee on this one. Jerry Brown is an opportunistic twat who never would have been elected if not for coattailing on his old man’s name.
Back in 1977-78 when the Prop 13 wars were on, he was against it before he was for it. First it was “We’ll have to close all the public parks and libraries!!” then it was “Well, gee, I guess 1% property taxes are okay since my tax base is leaving in droves.”
There is a lot of this lawlessness being promoted from the top down these days. Selective enforcement, no enforcement, looking the other way, pleading the 5th and such.
You can be damn sure, however, that anyone caught with “illegal” firearm will be prosecuted by Ms. Harris to the fullest extent of the law.
There are no words that can adequately describe such betrayal and dereliction of duty.
In many ways, this is the story of Obama.
If only the California Republican party wasn’t a bunch of pansies. You’d think they could make hay out of soft-on-crime Governor.
It wasn’t just that. The CA GOP leadership has been deluded from the days of the Ah-nold recall. Nominating wealthy dilettantes rather than veterans who fought their way up the State Assembly and State Senate ranks.

I was going to go with “Obamaesque,” dicentra.
Arnold should be a lesson in why getting just anybody elected with an R next to their name is not enough.
