Did anyone ask these people, during any of their public appearances, what they would suggest be done to an imaginary perpetrator who robbed and murdered their parents/children/siblings in cold blood?

If 'they' did ... there were not enough of 'them' ..............

The vast majority of Dem Californians assume they are immune from the consequences of their votes.

Their ability to ignore the suffering of the homeless and those without the financial resources to protect themselves or just unlucky enough to lose a loved one to the chaos is nearly feudal. 1/3 of the state dwells in poverty or just slightly better. No one cares.

Over the last 10 years the CA home ownership rate has fallen by 10%, yet the change concerns neither politicians or residents, 25% of which are functionally illiterate, in any language. High density apartments, squalor or homelessness are fine for the 1/2 of the state dwelling as serfs, as long as continue to vote Democratic.

Los Ángeles is doomed to become a mini failed state. There’s no hope unless the voters rapidly realize what has happened there, and even then, the recovery would, at best, take decades. Which they don’t have.

YES .......... Indeed ..........

Assuming they're willing to admit the phrase "Tough on crime" isn't something to be ashamed of.

Angela Davis lives 45 minutes from me. Alive and well and successful in getting Marcuse's ideas into the Universities. I suppose Patty Hearst is planning a tea party somewhere. Can't the Bar get rid of these Judges who openly admit they want to overthrow part of the Government?

The Bar is the most crooked of all. They're raking in millions from these programs. The Bar makes essentially nothing off honest people. It's the criminals who line their coffers.

I didn't know that. Very sad!

I'd bet most voters couldn't name three judges on their local ballot, let alone tell you what they believe.

Groups like La Defensa know exactly who they're backing. They recruit candidates, raise money, and get them elected while most voters barely pay attention.

And we're seeing the consequences of ideological battles in the courts. The Supreme Court has repeatedly blocked lower-court restrictions on Trump's policies, leaving serious questions about how judges are interpreting the law.

Judges are supposed to uphold the Constitution, even when they don't like the outcome. When political organizations recruit them to advance an agenda, voters ought to know about it before handing them a seat on the bench.

Now THAT is truth to power. Cuz the courts are only supposed to follow the law and enforce it, not dictate it.

So, they think it's better for criminals to run free in the streets than to deal with squatters and hooligans terrorizing citizens while the politicians, quite literally, sit in an ivory tower and do nothing about it. To quote Paul Joseph Watson, "Imagine my shock."

Thank you once again for exposing the progressive violence supporting and fraudulent behavior. A real service

Another self defeating idea: no prisons. At some point, La Defensa will be a crime victim, then what? I guess the Hatfields and McCoys?

“Harm reduction”

Everybody who uses that expression increases harm.

Disgraceful and dangerous.

Turner is obviously an idiot. The Defendants in court are they because they committed crimes. Those on slave ships were not there because of anything they did except possibly pissing off the tribal chief who sold them into slavery. Why not the best?

What, the Left hasn't ruined L.A. enough already?
