Michael Christopher Mejia, 30, is awaiting trial on charges stemming from Feb. 20, 2017.

One of Mejia’s victims was officer Keith Boyer, 53, who was responding to a report of a traffic collision in which Mejia had been involved.

They don’t carry out the execution in California anyway.

Defunding the police wasn’t about defunding the police. It was always about ushering in the breakdown of the social order, which in communist dogma, leads to the replacement of the old order and the installation of the new order.

They want ineffective police who will allow the underclass to run rampant over the productive class and paralyze it with fear. Already started: break-ins and theft of cars in the suburbs has skyrocketed.

Outrageous but not surprising. The accused killer should get a fair trial and if found guilty get an expedited appeal .After that he should be taken out and shot in the back of the head and dumped in a hole in the ground.

Not in about 35 +++ years. IIRC, there are OVER 750 prisoners on Death Row—and Jerry Brown spent OVER $1 MILLION rebuilding the gas chamber—and it has NEVER been used.

Right. But now he'll get to go into general population where he'll be lauded as a cop killer, instead of a single cell on Death Row where he'll eat all his meals alone and spend almost 24 hours a day there by himself.

Contributions to Gascon's Campaign:

53% of the 12.4 million raised came from liberal mega millionaires including: George Soros ($2,250,000), Reed Hastings and family members ($1,653,000).

His opponent, Jackie Lacey raised $7 Million of which 72% came from various associations of law officers.

Tookie Williams was executed in 2005. I lived in the bay area then, and the liberals in my office were going crazy over it.

What do you mean. We have 744 people on death row shaking in
their boots...

...from laughing so hard.

Leftists, where justice goes to die.

Just throw his corpse in the county dump at Rosehills; he wasn’t worth a a fart in a windstorm in his life, but he might make for some reasonably good fertilizer.

Too bad they didn’t see the scene/evidence photos of the young Asian women victims he shot to death, point blank with a 12 gauge shotgun to their heads/faces.
