Amid the continuing unrest and flash mob-style looting incidents in Los Angeles, California is making a significant pivot toward tougher criminal enforcement.
Criminal defense attorney David Wohl told Fox News Digital that the legal consequences are no longer a slap on the wrist for looters following the reversal of Proposition 47, which notably did not criminalize theft under $950.
“Now we have a very conservative, hard-charging DA in Los Angeles,” Wohl said. “He’s adding up what is stolen by each individual co-defendant, and if that’s over $950, everybody’s getting charged with felonies.”
In a city once known for turning a blind eye to petty theft and soft prosecution, looters who are taking advantage of protests over federal immigration operations now face stricter penalties.
In 2014, California voters approved Proposition 47, a ballot initiative that reclassified several nonviolent felonies, including shoplifting, theft and drug possession, as misdemeanors if the value involved was $950 or less.
Supporters argued the measure would reduce prison overcrowding and redirect state funds to additional programming.

GOOD!!
I doubt it.
All talk.
I’ll believe it when they are actually sentenced.
Democrat organizers won’t tell them - and us? Should we alert looters or just wait for them to be surprised?
I’m going with, “Surprise Surprise”!
Maybe a blue state is a red state that hasn't been suffered the agony of riots and looting yet.

Who is selling the permits to set off fireworks in downtown L.A. to the street tacos?
“fireworks”
It is my understanding that fireworks are generally illegal in California.
Looks like Gavin and Bass are trying to pretend they care - because, when it comes to it, it’s their stoutest constituents that are being harmed by the violence - and our side hasn’t shed their blood like they were hoping for...
That’s what I thought too until I saw the illegals celebrating Cinco De Mayo for the entire month of May in downtown LA.
“Now we have a very conservative, hard-charging DA in Los Angeles,” Wohl said. “He’s adding up what is stolen by each individual co-defendant, and if that’s over $950, everybody’s getting charged with felonies.”
Even when they think they’re sing tough they show their nutty weakness.
THINK THEY ARE BEING TOUGH
Sounds like BS. All for show and for tamping down the outrage from the law-abiding public. Wake me when the felony arrests are announced.

“Now we have a very conservative, hard-charging DA in Los Angeles,”
So you do now how to improve things.
Indeed the simple minded are easily trained on what to believe.
Does “hard charging consequences” include amputation of fingers or hands of looters? Because a few weeks in the local lock-up with 3 hots and a cot is not likely to make enough of an impression to change the attitude of most leftists.
There *must* be consequences - real life, painful and possibly life altering consequences.
