Gascon announced a sweeping range of reforms when he was sworn-in Monday, including no longer seeking the death penalty and not using gang enhancements for sentencing...

Geesh.
When government does not enforce the law against criminals, or worse, takes the side of criminals against the public, vigilantism results.
The best thing people in LA could do would be to put up small posters saying that particular neighborhoods are being policed by an (imaginary) vigilante group, and that those who commit crimes there will be summarily and severely punished.
Of course, this will make the government freak out and threaten dire punishment for the vigilantes, which won’t happen because there are none. But it puts the government and the criminals on notice.
3 Nov: LA Times: Here are the mega-donors and police unions pouring millions into the L.A. County district attorney race
By Maloy Moore, Ryan Menezes and James Queally
Spending in the race intensified a few weeks before Election Day, when New York billionaire George Soros and Bay Area philanthropist Patty Quillin combined to put millions of dollars behind Gascón. Quillin’s husband, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, has also helped Gascón maintain a commanding fundraising lead over Lacey, who has support from law enforcement unions up and down the state...
While Gascón has attracted support from Angelenos, much of his money comes from progressives based in the Bay Area with ties to tech companies such as Netflix, Facebook, Instagram and Google...
Wealthy individuals backing Gascón
George Soros: $2,250,000

Government versus the citizens.
Again.
Smoking a cigarette on the beach: death penalty
Oh this has the potential to be amusing, but tragic. To get automobile insurance, one has to have a valid driver’s license. So, now tons of folks will be driving without a license or on a suspended license. More than are currently doing so in LA. So, when license less guy runs a stop light and T-Bones a mini van full of people, and several are severely injured or worse killed, there will be no insurance for those folks to pursue to make them whole. And worse yet, insurance premiums for “uninsured motorist” coverage will skyrocket in the LA area to cover the sure to be rising “uninsured motorist” claims. Clearly Gascon is wanting to run as many “law abiding” citizens out of LA. His policies worked so well for San Francisco. It’s such a lovely place these days.
minor crimes let slide.
next year a little more, and on until felonies do not need to be pursued.
Who is going to fight this?
This has Soros's prints all over it, and others of his ilk.
not wearing a mask - FELONY mandatory jail time!
SOOOOOO— Are the auto insurance companies going to pull out of Los Angeles???
LoL beauty and the beast! 🎶
Prayers for my Los Angeles. God may You keep the city safe and find ways to bring down all the corrupt leaders in due time. Please may Your Gospel go forth so that people are at the very least accountable to You and Your laws even when our government isn’t. Please invade the inner cities with Your angels. The city of Angels. In Jesus’ name.
