The Democratic bizzaro world is full of contradictions because it is the natural state. To them, it makes sense when we get results exactly opposite of those advertised. Law and order mean chaos. Prosperity means poverty; transparency means obstruction; unity means division; education creates ignorance; and equity means inequality.
A secure border is an open border, and national identity is, well…racist.
Their war on drugs made the drug problem worse; the war on poverty has created more poverty. Defunding the police harmed more black lives, and those lives didn’t matter. So. a Dem DA in a Dem City refusing to prosecute crime is just another reality in a world of Democrat rule. But how about one that threatens to charge a business with a crime for calling the police every time it gets robbed?
The Sacramento City Attorney’s Office warned a chain retail store that it could face a public nuisance charge due to a large number of phone calls placed to police when thieves repeatedly stole from its Land Park location.
This was apparently not the only California city to pull this stunt, which seems likely. The hive mind is what it is, but someone who wanted to keep their gig in the elected office decided it wasn’t a good look. Letting criminals steal other people’s stuff at will is one thing. Allowing that loss to impact local communities who pay more or lose access to the business entirely is no big deal either. Subjecting customers or staff to the risk of harm if they get in the way during crimes is not concerning.
Charging businesses for not wanting to be victims of that crime is apparently a bridge too far.
The alleged warning issued by Sacramento city officials — and similar actions by other cities across the state — prompted lawmakers to add an amendment to a retail theft bill that would outlaw such threats made by authorities. Pursuing legal actions against businesses for reporting crime brought heavy criticism from law enforcement.
I wonder if there’s any chance they might extend this goodwill to people who defend themselves when attacked.
I know, I’m daydreaming.
