And to to think that one judge would even have that much power to do this all on their own. That is not right.

In a perfect world, George Gascón would have been the driver and only occupant of the car that Butler carjacked.

This is probably too politically-incorrect for any mass market paper, but a more accurate statement would be “Only Black Lives Matter”.

In this case, the perp is part Mexican, so maybe it’s a pander to Hispanics. Problem is - Mexicans want murderers killed. And I’m not making this up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Mexico
[Surveys in 2009 suggested that up to 70% of the population supported the restoration of the death penalty, however it is unlikely that the constitution will be changed, as both religious and human rights groups have strongly opposed restoration.[9]

A 2017 poll study found younger Mexicans are more likely to support capital punishment.[10] ]


That 70% number is way higher than the US number of 54%

https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/news/2021-gallup-poll-public-support-for-capital-punishment-remains-at-half-century-low

Gascon has found a way to drive his Hispanic support even lower.

LA County is imploding as the psychotic, white, racist BLM in the county government turns its attention away from bashing Mexicans to pissing off Asians.

And those psychopaths are just getting warmed up. Wait till these morons demand that Mexicans and Asians pay reparations to the criminal BLM. Instant recall and removal of Newsome from the governor’s chair. Bye-bye, Newsome. Hello, Mexican governor and Asian Lt. Governor.

Asians make up nearly 15% of the LA County population, while Latinos make up 50%. Bye-bye, BLM.

Agreed.

I’d go so far as to grant the motion if Gascon was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison as Butler’s cellmate. The bonus for Gascon is that “rest of his life” might be a short sentence.

Pretty sure “Hillside Strangler” has been on Death ow over 35 years. At around $100,000 per year.
