Liberals don't care about public safety just thugs and virtue signaling.

What's AB 109 you ask?


Suspect in Whittier cop killing, East LA slaying was AB 109 probationer


Quote:
A man suspected of killing a Whittier police officer in a shootout Monday, hours after slaying his cousin, was released from prison under a controversial program that many law enforcement agencies blame for an uptick in crime, authorities said.
Michael Christopher Mejia, 26, of Los Angeles, was identified Tuesday by authorities as the suspect in the fatal shootings of Whittier police Officer Keith Boyer and 46-year-old Roy Torres, the suspect’s cousin.

Lt. John Corina of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau said Mejia was released from state prison in April 2016 following a grand theft auto conviction in 2014. He was on probation under Assembly Bill 109, a state law mandating early prison releases for nonviolent offenders, when he allegedly shot and killed Boyer and Torres. AB 109 was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2011.

Right. Sure. We don't care. You figured us out. We're not parents, sons and daughters, friends, conscientious citizens, etc. Here's an idea: every time something bad happens, blame it on a liberal. I'm sure that'll solve a lot of problems.

This sounds like a problem with society as a whole and not a liberal or conservative problem. How did we fail as a society to create someone who commits frequent crimes? Why is this not a problem in places like Canada and much of Europe?

If we locked everyone up in solitary confinement crime would be very low.

I couldn't decide if I wanted to go out chillin' with my killin' thugs today or take care of my husband who is undergoing cancer treatments. I opted for the helping of the husband. We'll see how tomorrow goes. Hopefully the thugs will understand that I just can't come out and be a troublemaker right now.

Why am I not surprised that someone from Chicago thinks there aren't repeat offenders in Canada and Europe? They need to check the water supply in Chicago. Damn I'm glad I left Illinois.

Another criminal with a rap sheet a mile long and kills just out of prison

Sort of like the Reagan Tokes’s murder, she was just murdered right after brian golsby was released from prison.

"Records show he was freed in November after a five-year incarceration for robbery and attempted rape. Golsby is registered as a sex offender in Franklin County, Ohio."

The guy only got five years for robbery and attempted rape, what an amazing judicial system we have! Liberal Judges will go to hell and back to protect illegal immigrants and refugees and fight trump but allow criminals basically out on the street to murder and rape

According to Elan Carr a Criminal Gang Prosecutor for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and a Iraq War Veteran (republican) Arnold Schwarzenegger is also responsible for laying the groundwork that created AB 109.
How AB 109 Jeopardized Public Safety - California Political Review

AB 109 reduces state deficits by reducing the prison population. "AB 109 allows for qualifying offenders with no history of violent, serious or registerable sex offenses or other exclusionary offenses to serve their sentences under local custody - in county jails as well as through community-based alternatives" (taking that financial burden away from the state.)
http://www.mcgeorge.edu/Documents/Pu...azzi_FINAL.pdf
http://www.ccpab109toolkit.com/faq.html

And if GW Bush did not give the richest 1% of Americans trillions of dollars in tax cuts, reduce federal revenues, and cause California to loose billions of dollars in federal funding AB 109 would not be necessary.
Impact of Bush Plan on State Revenues: CTJ Analysis
Bush Tax Cuts After 2002: June 2002 CTJ Analysis


Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown had to take steps to reduce state spending after the GW Bush tax cuts took billions of federal funding away from their state. And it was republican federal policy that created the need for AB 109 to reduce state deficits.

LOL, I literally just moved here like a day ago from Texas.

There are repeat offenders everywhere, but it's far less common in Europe. I remember reading about the Netherlands actually closing prisons because there weren't enough people in them to make them worthwhile.
