Right, and a petition to have someone arrested is...what? Pretty much mobocracy in action. That said, it's hardly surprising in California, where government by petition seems to have more or less obviated (small-r) republican government.
[...]the arrest should occur based on his actions but the pols do not have the cajones to simply do what is right.
Cojones. "Cajones" translates to "drawers" (as one would find in a bureau). Sorry, but it's an error that drives me, uh, nuts.
Snidely
But clearly, asking that their duly elected officials fulfill the duty of their office does not come close to that level.
As to the mispell of the Spanish...entirely my bad.
