And unfortunately, California is arguably known as the trend-setter state...
California may be a trend setter but LA isn't. This is one city out of the whole state. This guy isn't the governor nor is he likely to ever be one. The only reason he is in office is that they had two idiots running and the voter turn out was terrible. I am sure they will replace him in the next election or maybe recall him when the crime gets really out of hand which it is bound to do.
What happens in California so goes the rest of the nation!
Be very scared.
