California ‘Looks Like a 3rd World Country‘ [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 23 January 2022 | John Semmens

Viewing the aftermath of massive looting of packages from trains at a rail yard, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) professed himself “shocked that our state is starting to look like a Third World country. We owe it to our citizens to see that this doesn’t happen. They deserve a clean and law-abiding environment in which to live.”

The first action Newsom took was to take off his suit jacket and shirt, put on a baseball cap and covid mask and pitch in with the clean-up effort at the rail yard. “This will show the voters that I’m more than just talking about the problem,” Newsom bragged. “It shows that I’m a doer.”

The governor was less of a doer when it came to the looting, calling it “a more complicated problem. On the one hand, the official crime statistics have taken an encouraging turn since voters decriminalized robberies of under $1,000. Our ‘no bail’

release of arrestees de-stigmatizes the life style choices of those who must steal in order to survive. Our early release of incarcerated felons gives these victims an opportunity to get a fresh start. The distressing thing is that too many of them revert back to old habits. I am at a loss on what to do next.”

Newsom rejected Republican criticism that “his policies on crime present no significant deterrent,” and vowed “to resist pressure to go back to the old ways of relying on harsh punishment as the main method for discouraging the commission of offenses or the notion that putting criminals behind bars is a humane answer.”

State Senator Scott Wilk (R-dist 21) charged that “it is the Democrats’ ‘soft-on-crime’ thinking that has unleashed the latest surge in offenses against persons and property that the Governor now laments has turned California into a Third World country. Democrats have gone overboard with their concern for those who prey upon the innocent. How humane is it to allow people to be assaulted or robbed? If those who commit these violations faced serious consequences some of them might stop—making our state a safer place for everyone else.”

The people propositioned themselves to the point of no bacon in California to comply with their latest mandates. 😕

Newsome should contact whoever is in charge and set them straight.

of swag just laying around for the taking.”

I heard that in Mumbai they are lamenting that their city is starting to look and smell like San Francisco.

Well, that’s what happens when you import millions of third world people without any conditions and give them free healthcare and government assistance and then add in a feral population of inner city youths and gangs and refuse to incarcerate or shoot them and you get El Salvador.

If the Democrats have their way, the entire USA will BE a third world country.

The Party of Slavery will sell every one of us into slavery, in the 21st century, if they can get enough power.

At their present unsustainable rate, it will be worse than most 3rd world crap holes soon. Other states should cut off the water and power sales to it.

I'll bet he pitched right in until the cameras got turned off.

It looks like a third-world country because it is.

I remember when the Deep South was considered the worst looking area of America. But the people occupying those areas didn’t look like lunatics, nor did they randomly and violently attack others on the street.

Those areas looked much better than the homeless camps of today.
