California Proposes Restraining Orders to Stop Thieves

Background

In California, police don’t arrest criminals because prosecutors will just turn them loose. People and businesses are tired of the crime. The result is a campaign to roll back Soros-backed proposition 47 that made theft of less than $950 in goods a misdemeanor.

Stores are at the mercy of shoplifters and many merchants have decided to close up shop. Downtown San Francisco looks like a ghost town.

California Voter Revolt

The proposition 47 reversal has gathered enough signatures that it will be on the ballot.

However, the Progressive nut cases running the state propose an alternate measure with a laughable poison pill aimed at stopping the rollback.

(Why not just pay them to not steal?)

That’ll be next!

Warning... This is NOT from The Onion, or The Babylon Bee.

I suppose I should post this as a separate article, but it fits with the rest of the insanity in this thread.

.45 ACP center mass is the ultimate restraining order.

It was sarcasm champ but since we’re discussing limb lopping I much prefer the tomahawk as it’s much easier to wield.

I salute you for your masterful use of satire in that post.

What? It was intended as a serious proposal by its' original authors? How droll indeed.

A restraining order is an absolutely worthless piece of paper which offers no protection against criminal predators.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Perhaps you could just nicely ask them not to steal.

Make work project for the lawyers.

I had to wonder how she’d feel if that was her son lying on the ground...probably a whole different attitude.

People like her would still vehemently hate Republicans, and still vote for democrats. But only because they're brainwashed and really have no idea what Republicans really stand for, and they want to believe lies and don't want to know the truth. In short, people like her are a lost cause.

[Organic Panic]

Ah yes. Because criminals obey laws.

[nwrep]

Not really. Ideology over survival. She would gladly sacrifice her son rather than vote for a reactionary Nazi.

They aren’t necessarily all “dumb.” Remember, kalifornia led the nation in perfecting vote fraud. Now, it’s just a matter of the “frog in a pan of water over a flame enjoying the warmth until it boils” phenomenon. Stockholm Syndrome anyone?

That's part of the problem: People don't think through the long run consequences of their actions. You people in CA keep electing people who think giving stuff away while taxing productive members of society will solve the problem. As you've learned, letting people set up tents on the streets just attracts more people with the same problems. Look for a cure to the problem, not a palliative that creates the illusion that the problem is cured.
