Under the new crop of George Soros-backed, soft-on-crime district attorneys, there is no consequence for breaking the law.
Criminals are getting the message loud and clear.
In Chicago, two teens steal a car, speed down a road and kill a baby.
That’s not enough to lock them up.
In Alameda, the DA is going soft on gang members who fired indiscriminately and also killed a child.
In San Francisco, the former fire commissioner was distressed to find a group of transients using drugs on his mother’s doorstep.
He sprayed them with pepper spray.
One of the men then beat him with a metal pipe.
The DA originally dropped the charges against the pipe-wielder, saying the man was acting in self-defense.
Apparently self-defense now encompasses walking away, picking the perfect weapon, taking practice swings — all things he did — and then using disproportionate force against the man who didn’t want you bothering his mother.
Only after an outcry did the DA reinstate the charges.
Progressives will tell us with a straight face that crime isn’t increasing, and if it is, it has nothing to do with this new breed of no-bail, no-jail prosecutors.
It’s ludicrous.
And heartless.
It doesn’t matter how many more young people die, or how many drug users crowd our sidewalks.
As long as the prisons are empty, they consider it a victory.
Kim Foxx, the Chicago DA who let those teens walk, mercifully said she isn’t running for re-election next year.
Would that the others follow suit, or face well-funded, justice-minded prosecutors to counter Soros’ donation machine.
This experiment in anarchy must end.
