“California Lawmaker Pleads No Contest in Shoplift Case,” The Associated Press reports at Fox News.
Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi, D-Castro Valley, entered the plea in San Francisco Superior Court after the judge reduced a theft charge against her from a felony to a misdemeanor at a prosecutor's request.
After she tried to lift $2,500 worth of clothes? How many of us mere mortals think we could get away with felony grand theft and have the prosecutor go to bat for us, and then walk away from it with no jail time, our jobs intact and a fine of less than the state sales tax on the items we lifted?
--------------------cut------------------
Besides, she was at least savvy enough to make sure she stole expensive fashion items from Nieman-Marcus, as opposed to, say, sweats from Walmart. Still, based on such aberrant behavior, I have no problem imagining Hayashi stealing a steak à la Divine in “Pink Flamingos” (and you’ll just have to look that one up for yourself.)
We also learn—and this is almost funny—she’s returning to her post as Chair of the Business, Professions and Consumer Protection Committee! (Good grief, she’s also “a commissioner on the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Committee”!! And she’s married to a judge!!! It’s like somebody hired gag writers for this story.)
So naturally, this sick-in-the-head criminal (and a California Sheriff’s Association’s “Outstanding Legislator” award recipient) is against the right of peaceable people to keep and bear arms: She’s against concealed carry. She’s against open carry. She’s for expanded registration.
She doesn’t trust us!

If she was a Republican, we would be hearing about this from now until about November 7, 2012. But she’s a democrat so it isn’t “newsworthy.”
I don’t know how to do (nor have time to learn right now) advanced html, but if I could, my comment would be:
“The problem is the lack of Americans who have the backbone to tar and feather or otherwise publicly shame these people.”
Cross through the “s” on “Americans” and add the word “Media.” Add “desire and” just before “backbone.”
so I agree with and bump your comment by amending it to read:
“The problem is the lack of American Media who have the desire and backbone to tar and feather and otherwise publicly shame these people.”
There. Fixed it.
(Love the picture, by the way! LOL!)
“She’s against concealed carry. She’s against open carry. She’s for expanded registration. She doesn’t trust us!”
Dude, she’s a DemocRat! (AKA a hypocritical, elitist, collectivist control freak!)
Thanks for the link!
