“Assault With A Deadly Weapon” and “Minimum-Security”. Makes perfect sense. NOT!

Same series that made a 1 hour story into a 5 part series? The one that could make the story of wiping ones butt into a 5 year saga?

Good Grief! The CA government is pampering the thugs. This is part of the reason we left KA. It seems most arrests are for “multiple felony warrants”. What? I wonder if Moonbeam Jr. will do any better.

Considering that it was California’s Dept of Corrections, wouldn’t be more accurate to say that Brown needed the guys with rakes?

Prop. 57: Early Release for so-called Non-Violent Criminals. This was Governor Jerry Brown’s baby — the crown jewel of his prison reform initiatives. Among those offenses he considers “non-violent”: rape of an unconscious person; human trafficking involving sex acts with minors; and assault with a deadly weapon. Blogger Felicia Wilson summed it up well (original emphasis): “…Call me crazy, but shouldn’t a crime that includes the word rape or assault be considered, I don’t know… violent?”

Don’t forget Brown also reduced penalties for given somebody AIDS on purpose and child prostitution. And signed a bill which effectively eliminated mandatory sentencing for gun crimes. While on the other hand passed some of the more restrictive gun laws for law-abiding citizens in the nation,including background checks being necessary to buy ammunition which will go into effect this July. Oh and don’t forget all the drama over the government being shut down because Trump wants five billion dollars to start building a wall. Brown and his supporters have no problem spending 98 billion dollars building a train that basically goes nowhere. Some of the more higher estimates on building a border wall spanning the entire border would only cost around 70billion.

Brown was a vile creature all right. He and former gov Davis were behind the methane disaster in Southern California that will claim the lives of thousands through cancer, etc. Google it. He and his cronies overruled the commissioners who knew the well was not properly capped. Millions affected. Davis the recall king was their lawyer. Brown was the kingpin. He is pure scum. Perfect example of the lefty lunacy in this once beautiful state, along with the traitorous La Raza state government gang of course. We need to fight back. We have to save this state!

Reagan and Schwarzenegger ignored those same methane pipes, too.

Wait, is this a republican calling for more industrial regulation? For the petrochemical industry? Am I dreaming?
