In 2014, Proposition 47, called the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, was sponsored and supported by Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, labor unions, Brad Pitt, Tim Robbins, Demi Moore, and a host of other elites. This has led to the misclassification of violent felonies, the early releases of convicted criminals, and the rise in crime and serial retail theft. Over the past twenty years, California Democrats in the state legislature, with the financial and public support of the mega-wealthy and Hollywood elites, have passed legislation under the banner of criminal justice reform. California ’s criminals got lobbyists, they got a sympathetic ear from the Hollywood elite and the mega-wealthy, and they got access to power through California ’s ruling political party – the Democrats. Specifically, there has been a massive pendulum shift in the past twenty years that reduced drug crimes and turned felonies into misdemeanors. The laws have been changed to protect the criminal, not the victims and people that live in tough neighborhoods. Like everything else in California, the attitude of elected officials and Hollywood elites has put the right of the criminals above the victim’s rights. If you broke the law and used in gun or beat the victim or belonged to a criminal gang, you would spend more time in jail. If you broke the law, there was a punishment. There were real consequences to criminal behavior. If you violated the law, it meant jail time.
