I think San Francisco, and the entire state, would be better off if they just fired ALL the judges, from the 9th Circuit down to the municipal courts, and started all over again.

I’m just surprised that we don’t see more of this.

"Broussard broke into Leggalet's car in February 2006. He smashed the window and stole a cell phone and other valuables. When a bystander identified Broussard to police and Leggalet as the perpetrator, Leggalet's cell phone was attached to Broussard's belt. Broussard still denied involvement, though. The officer placed a call to Leggalet's telephone number. When the phone on Broussard's belt rang, Broussard was arrested."

LMAO!!

There is a curious part of this paragraph though. It is where a bystander identified Broussard to the police, and Leggalet as the perpetrator. Leggalet was the victim.

[. . .Broussard was caught in a stolen car but claimed to be watching it for a friend. He wasn’t charged with a crime. And even though he was on probation, prosecutors didn’t seek to have him returned to jail. . .District attorney’s office spokeswoman Bilen Mesfin said prosecutors had no evidence to prove Broussard actually intended to drive the stolen car, as there were no keys found.]

So can the drug legalization folks explain how this problem would have been solved by their ‘solution’?

[theDentist]

(sigh) If only all drugs were legalized, then addicts with no jobs or income wouldn’t commit crimes to buy their daily fix(es). /sarc

I love a story with a happy ending.

Hunters Point projects where he was raised.

A good friend of mine in Arizona and his wife were from there. He thanked the Army for getting him out to begin with and swore that the "street culture" that was then just developing, was the single greatest danger to Black America by creating an entirely separate world. He now points to Hip Hop and Rap as fulfillments of his prediction.

I wish others would see his point.

Several years ago I saw an interview with a car thief from the LA area. He said that he never stole cars in the poor section of town because they didn’t’ bother to call the cops on you; they used “street justice”.

There are just so many thugs, criminals and low life to work with. If every one in the system is to remain gainfully employed (police, DA, attorneys, judge, counselors, etc.)they have to keep recycling them through the system and the streets as quickly as possible to get the most out of them. It’s fairly easy to do by blaming everyone else in the system.

[NonValueAdded]

Some interesting honesty in the reporting but they left out one very important party, the voters. They are the ultimate enablers of the failed system of government. They got what they voted for. Sooner or later a new party will catch on and run with this as a reason to try something completely different.

Broussard, 37, a high school dropout who grew up in San Francisco's housing projects, was arrested at least eight times over the last year and a half, mostly for breaking into cars to get cash to feed a drug habit.

WTF? California has a 3-strikes law. Why wasn't he in prison?!

[goldstategop]

The article is wrong. San Francisco's liberal justice is working perfectly. I would only be surprised if it malfunctioned - that is lock away career criminals permanently.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Whacking this creep was an act of mercy and morality. The shooter shouldn't be prosecuted, he should be given a medal.

[CORedneck]

Good riddance !

In the Old West, Vigilante justice was highly effective at controlling crime.

[Lancey Howard]

Shame the guy got careless. San Fransicko deserves more like him, running roughshod all over the place and surfing rivers of homeless urine down the street.

[MrEdd]

I love a happy ending.

[Uncle Hal]

Notice the headline. The system failed not the criminal. The liberals think its societies fault when a low life turns to crime for a living.

[Billthedrill]

It's an old story in San Francisco - a corrupt and ineffective law enforcement agency is supplanted by violent and outraged citizens. How old a story? Try 1856.
