The lawless state of California does it again!
“I don't know what frightens me more, the power that crushes us, or our endless ability to endure it.” ― Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

The Link to the above quote is: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/70314-i-don-t-know-what-frightens-me-more-the-power-that



LA woke DA George Gascon has survived a recall. How could that be you ask?

This is another curve ball from the big blue state of California. Gascon as you should know, was facing a recall. The petition to recall has been found insufficient to qualify for a ballot. Those seeking to recall the radical Gascon needed 566,857 signatures. They got 715,833 petition signatures.  We know what they do to American citizens in California don't we?

Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorded/County Clerk Dean C. Logan said his office had completed the examination of all 715,833 petition signatures submitted for the recall of Gascon and guess what?  They found that 195,783 signatures were found to be invalid.  That is a whopping 22% of all the signatures submitted to rid the city of this monster.

Consider this: In the biggest absentee mail-in ballot contest, by far, in the nation's history, California only had a rejection rate of 0.8%.

"In  2020 , voters cast 70,550,699 absentee/mail-in ballots in the general election. Of these, 560,177 (0.8%) of which were rejected. By comparison, absentee/mail-in ballot rejection rates in  2018  and  2016  were 1.4% and 1.0%, respectively. [1]"

https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2020:_Analysis_of_rejected_ballots

Yet in California where Gov Newsom survived a recall with an even higher percentage of rejections, one is left to question the integrity of democrats. ( before somebody interjects here, Newsom had to face the "voters" - we know who votes in CA) While we can understand the zeal of radical CA officials to disqualify as many signatures as possible, are we to believe that these same officials were as scrupulous when analyzing the legality of the mail-in ballots Californians cast in the 2020 presidential election?


The state of California led the nation in the rate of mail-in ballots cast:


The voting experience in 2020
"A slim majority of voters (54%) say they voted in person this November, compared with 46% who voted by absentee or mail-in ballot. About one-quarter (27%) report having voted in person on Election Day, and an identical share say they voted in person before Election Day."

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2020/11/20/the-voting-experience-in-2020/


Meanwhile big blue California was way out of whack with the national average. In the 2020 election a whopping 86% of California voters voted by mail-in ballot:

And 99.4% of the signatures were found to be valid!

https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/historical-absentee


This is the same state that allows illegal migrants to go to DMV to get a driver's license, where they also get a chance to register to vote. On the form it asks if one is a citizen. I think everyone knows by now that nobody is checking to see if the proper box is checked. It's kind of an honor system and if one lies they end up being a 'legally registered voter."

This is the same state that refused to turn over it's voter rolls to the federal government a few years ago.

It seems as though the only time democrats believe in voter integrity or scrutinizing signatures on absentee ballots is when it is necessary to protect their officeholders from accountability.

You do know that our little leftist MBFC accepts Fox News as a source?

Doesn't really matter if they print such baseless trash that provides zero evidence of any actual voter fraud but just ignorantly claims things like:

"So to say that illegal immigrants are voting is a given in this state?" asked Lahren. "Absolutely," said EIPCa president and co-founder Linda Paine, "because when you open the door to corruption and fraud, people are going to walk through it."

So ZERO evidence, just a whole lot of hot air and dip shit assumptions.

I know most of the right wing conservatives here have never been to a CA DMV but to claim its easy to get a license or that you just get automatically enrolled as a voter is total horse shit. I had to go back three times last time I renewed my license because they needed my social security card, birth certificate, billing invoice from a credit card, my residential lease and a utility bill with name and address on it. There is no such thing as just easy licensing or careless voter registration.

Provide proof there is any widespread voter fraud or thousands of illegals voting in CA or else you've just proven once again how sad bitter right wing conservatives are simply using the false claim, the 'big lie' of election fraud, because they know they can't win an election without cheating. The only proven 'widespread voter fraud' is the lie about voter fraud some bigots use as an excuse to write added voter restrictions in an effort to disenfranchise minority voters they know tend to vote Democrat.

How about something from this country?

The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ( NVRA , also known as the “Motor Voter Act”) requires that persons registering to vote in federal elections affirm that they are United States Citizens. Failure to do so is a crime punishable under the following statutes:

 

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 611, it is a crime – punishable by a fine and up to one year in prison – for an alien to vote in a federal election.
 

Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1227, any alien who has voted in violation of any Federal, State, or local constitutional provision, statute, ordinance, or regulation is deportable.
 

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1973gg-10(2) any false statement concerning an applicant’s citizenship status that is made on a registration form submitted to election authorities is a crime.
 

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 911 knowing and willful false assertions of United States citizenship in order to vote are punishable by up to three years in prison.
 

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1015(f) it is a criminal offense for an individual to make a false statement or claim that he or she is a citizen of the United States in order to register or to vote.

Comparing a petition drive to voting is incredibly disingenuous.

As far as the signatures on the petition.

Of the invalid signatures, more than 88,000 were not registered, 43,593 were duplicates, 32,187 were a different address, 9,490 were mismatched signatures, 7,344 were canceled, 5,374 were out of county addresses, while more than 9,300 fell under the category of "other."

You can even find it in Florida: " Is homelessness a big problem in Florida? according to the U.S. Council on Homelessness there is. New data released on Tuesday shows Florida has the third-largest homeless population in the country at 27,487 and counting. It also showed public school data reported to the U.S. Department of Education during the 2018-2019 school year, an estimated 91,068 public school students experienced homelessness over the course of the year. Economist say the lack of affordable housing is the primary factor leading to homelessness here in the SunShine State, This as most people who become homeless in Florida have extremely low incomes making it difficult to maintain rental housing."

Gee, what with Biden's surging, inflation-free economy, surely things are looking up and homelessness is on the decline, right?

At least the blue state of California should be steadily reducing its number of homeless, what with all the bragging folks do about its economy.

21. The 5 areas with the most homeless are the District of Columbia, New York, Hawaii, Oregon, and California.

(Whitehouse)

The rates of homelessness are higher in those states by up to 5.8 times the average US rate of homelessness.

Indeed, the District of Columbia has a rate that is 5.8 times higher, New York is 2.8 times higher, Hawaii is 2.7 times higher, Oregon is 2 times higher, and California is 1.9 times higher.

22. According to homelessness statistics, these 4 states and DC make up 45% of the entire population of homeless in the US.

(Whitehouse)

You can find almost half of all homeless in the District of Columbia, New York, Hawaii, Oregon, and California. What is more alarming is the fact that combined, those regions only account for 20% of the total US population.

23. 47% of unsheltered homeless live in California.

(Whitehouse)

You’ll find almost half of all unsheltered homeless in one state only — California. This begs the question as to why California remains known for its Hollywood scenes when the state is struggling to manage the homelessness situation.

The Sunshine State's net migration and immigration gain of 259,480 was the most in the country between July 1, 2020 and July 1, 2021,   Florida Politics   reported Monday.

Census Bureau   data   showed that 220,890 people moved to Florida from other states, Washington, D.C, or Puerto Rico, making it the nation's top destination for domestic migration. The Sunshine State's population also added 38,590 immigrants, the most in the nation."

Besides we have more people here (from other places) anyway. It is 'normal' migration. Having persistent droughts and wildfires and PG&E making a mess of the place is not helpful either. Neither is some of the blight caused by the homeless (from this state and 'abroad') is not inviting.

Police Chief William H Parker

3.1.1  Thomas  replied to  Vic Eldred @3.1    2 years ago

From Wikipedia

Although Parker reduced police corruption and cleaned up the overall image of the police, certain sections of the LAPD continued practices which lent more to an image of old semi-corrupt control of vice and petty crime. The vice squad and reserve force continued to remain controversial elements of the police force. Parker also used elements of the reserve force such as the Organized Crime and Intelligence Division of the LAPD to keep tabs on suspected politicians and their mafia syndicate allies, as well as the notoriously corrupt and narcotic-ridden Hollywood movie industry and its celebrities. [1] The 1990 novel and 1997 film L.A. Confidential along with the 2013 film Gangster Squad , provide fictional depictions of the LAPD under Parker during these years.

Under Parker, the LAPD faced accusations of police brutality and racism towards the city's African American and Latino residents. According to a documentary commissioned by the LAPD in 2009, Parker supported the city's power structure, which he denied was racist as late as the 1960s. [7] Some critics see Parker's policies as responsible for ongoing tensions between the LAPD and minorities. Although Parker testified to the Civil Rights Commission in 1959 that segregation was not a problem, in 1962, he ordered the desegregation of the LAPD. [1] [8] When asked by the Commission about discrimination against minorities, he replied "I think the greatest dislocated minority in America today are the police." [9]

Parker was also known to publicly make callous and racist remarks towards minorities, African-Americans especially. He largely refused to hire Black police officers. During most of his tenure, those already on the force were prohibited from having white partners. Perpetrators of white supremacist violence were never brought to justice under his tenure. [10]

Parker's controversial practices towards minorities have been cited as the cause of the 1965 Watts riots on August 11, 1965. For five days, businesses and stores were burned or looted, civilians were killed or wounded while being caught in the crossfire, and sniping was frequent, before the rioters finally dispersed from committing more violence after the California Army National Guard took to the streets in supplementing the over-worked LAPD officers. At the end, 34 people were killed in the riots, 21 of them by police or National Guard bullets. About 1,032 were injured, 3,438 were arrested, and over $40 million in property damage were caused. In spite of this, this was not enough to derail Parker's career, as he continued to serve as LAPD Police Chief for another year prior to his death.

In a 1992 article in the Los Angeles Times , David Shaw wrote: [11]

"When Parker referred to black participants in the Watts riots as behaving like 'monkeys in a zoo,' a Times story later charitably characterized this as an 'obviously unintentional but unfortunate remark.' During the riots, Parker also said, on television: 'It is estimated that by 1970, 45% of the metropolitan area of Los Angeles will be Negro. ... If you want any protection for your home and family ... you're going to have to get in and support a strong Police Department. If you don’t, come 1970, God help you.' Earlier in his tenure, Parker attributed criminal activity among Latinos to their 'not being too far removed from the wild tribes of ... the inner mountains of Mexico.'"

Small wonder he is your hero.

All of which seem to be beholding to the federal government in some way. We used to have a middle class that worked here but couldn't afford to live here.

America, our country, is an inert land mass. Clearly, you are talking about people and their personal issues—"First."

I get it we hire politicians, as representatives of the people, to look into our professional and personal interest, in no particular order. You should expect them to to their jobs! And when doing so to do so for all the citizens, not simply those you prefer (not red or blue - both).

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? I'm sorry to put it that way, but it does come off rather petty.

First, this is about people and their problems ('back home' where they come from and here once they settle). Second, conservatives issue with migrants who want to become citizens (or "Dreamers") is to welcome them. Simply drop your rocks and a quantity of legal immigrants will be grateful to conservatives and vote what is in their hearts too. Be a problem solver instead of a group of demonizers, mockers, and worse. Third, it is a sad 'day' for this country that conservatives have to question liberal motivations so "deep" that you hurt innocent people, because of a political stance that is easily remedied but conservatives are scare or too evil to take the 'medicine' reason provides (in my "Second"). Fourth, most migrants are just like people elsewhere and in our country. That is, they are arriving here desperate and afraid of what kind of treatment they will face: Thus, they are "open" to any group or persons who will give them - wait for it. . . kindness.

Is kindness such an 'off the table' topic for conservatives that it never crosses your minds how easy it is to extend to hurting people who are 'bridged' between a rock (home) and a hard place (our border)?

Yes, conservatives could succeed in a "win-win" for both parties! But for self-interests and self-indulgence to wanting it 'all' or nothing!

I am going to leave this delusion that this country amounts to what is because of the "work ethics" of conservatives (alone) for you to cherish. It is a lie, to be sure. We are all necessary to the whole of this country. I don't lead so-called red states out of the work and you should not leave out the blue states! Competing against your 'right' or 'left' arm is well, petty and stupid.

Possible, not likely. Just more partisan hopefulness.

Hispanics are very religious, family oriented and believe in the work ethic.

I would amend that to say that it might tend to be true for first and second generations,

third generation, not so much as they become members of the melting pot although the

work ethic usually continues, even for the gang bangers.

Nope.

Claiming honesty and integrity as your 'only agenda' is, especially when your next sentence fails to meet that standard. 

It’s simply a reasonable expectation in a civil society.    

Yet your comments are rarely if ever civil and almost always partisan.

They did that once didn't they? 

That was the time they tried to apprehend the guy who was on super performance enhancing drugs and it took about a dozen cops to get control of him. LA was allowed to be put to the torch and then they gave the thug who resisted arrest a small fortune. He later admitted that ya, he was high.

I believe it may have even been the inspiration for a song:

Vic, you only complain that the "Law Doesn't Work" when something you wanted to happen doesn't happen like you wanted it to. 

88,000 not registered? That sounds like a huge oversite on the part of the petition gatherers. 

Ditto with the 43,000 that signed more than once and the 5,000 out of county voters. 

I thought those were questions you were supposed to ask before you got a signature on a petition.  They are usually the questions that are asked first, like," Pardon me. We have a petition to recall the DA in LA county. Are you a registered voter in  the county? Have you signed the petition already?" Standard, boilerplate petition signing stuff. 

So, instead of lashing out at the County, why don't you lash out a the organizers of the petition drive? That should be where your anger is placed.

The character might be fictional but Erle Stanley Gardner was real. He gave us an example of what a lawyer should be. Every once in a while I bring that character back to life....whenever I make a salient point. Since we are speaking of lawyers and the topic happens to be California, it just came to me. My favorite lawyer lives there and goes by the screen name of The Strategy Gaming Dojo!

Of course!!

But it happens often here--a misunderstanding of what is actually written, then assigning what they misunderstand as something you actually did.

It HAS to be easier to debate that way rather than on your actual words.

Wrong.  Wrong in life, wrong in Perry Mason fiction

and wrong here.

6.1.4 stands as Exhibit A

Changing that and then mocking people for "making a mistake" is a ticket.

The vast majority of Gascon’s own prosecutors supported the recall and, after Monday’s results, vowed to keep fighting him. “The residents of L.A. County cannot afford two years of George Gascón’s dangerous policies. The lives of so many innocent residents are at risk,” Deputy Dist. Atty. Jonathan Hatami said. “So we all must come together to help and stand up for one another until George is gone.”

"I’m going to get that n-----’s name on my face. That’s a champ right there. F---in’ Gascón," says gang member Luis Angel Hernandez in a jailhouse phone call.

"This s--t looking real good. Now we got a new DA in LA … so they’re going to drop a gang of, um, like my gun enhancement, my gang enhancement," he says in the jailhouse phone call. "My gang enhancement is 10 years, fool, for being a gang member. And then the gun in the commission of a crime."

Hernandez initially faced life without the possibility of parole, which is also barred by Gascón's directives in nearly all cases.

"That’s the n----- right there, bro. He’s making historic changes for all of us, fool. I’m just grateful, fool. Like, I got good news off that s--t,"
