California politicians of both parties are finger-pointing in the aftermath of a downtown Sacramento gang shootout that left six people dead. Democrats want to see more action on gun restrictions, and Republicans want to see the state take a harder stance on criminal justice issues.
The California Republican Party went into attack mode following reporting from The Sacramento Bee that one of the three suspects arrested after the shooting had been released from prison in February after receiving a 10-year sentence for domestic violence and assault in 2018. It said Newsom and his parole board appointees were to blame, which is false, and that Democrats are trying to “score political points” by “blaming the gun and not the criminal.”
Claim: Gov. Gavin Newsom and his state parole board appointees are to blame for the early release of Smiley Martin, 27, who was released to Sacramento County probation in February 2022, after serving about four years of his prison sentence. “We wonder if Newsom will now condemn his appointees who have blood on their hands, as do those who voted for and promoted policies that resulted in this nationally reported act of senseless violence,” the California Republican Party said in a news release.

And he appoints BOTH the CDCR Secretary and every member of the Parole Board.
And the worthless, dumb-assed CA GOP doesn't see to know that.
Fact checking at its best ....
“ In addition, the “blood on their hands” statement ignores the fact that none of the suspects arrested have been directly charged with homicide.... Police arrested Martin on suspicion of being a prohibited person in possession of .... a machine gun.”
A machine gun !
Which is why if the victim is a gubmint employee and I am on the jury, He/She is NOT GUILTY
Maybe this is why the greasy POS suddenly shut up about the shooting.
It is not the guns at fault. All of the violence is coming out of the drug gangs. These gangs have taken the place of the family unit. In the gang they get acceptance. They think this acceptance overcomes their misguided notion of racism created by the Dems who are Machiavellian.
In another thread I wrote this:
The cause of this crime is narcotics coming over our southern border. The Dems are notorious for blame shifting. The narcotics are the gun powder that powers the gang shootings. The problems is, the Dems profit from the Drug Cartels who line their pockets so their open border policy continues.
The shooting was motivated by gang rivalry:
“At least five shooters involved in Sacramento massacre, gang ties likely, police say.”

maddening isn’t it? Gaslighting at its best
Apparently the Sacramento Bee expects you to believe the parole board has nothing to do with when or if criminals are released on parole.
