And again, Marin County voters were all-in for this virtue-signaling initiative. Nor was this an anomaly. Marin County, which is the eighth wealthiest county in America, is fanatically Democrat. In 2020, Joe Biden walked away with 82.53% of the votes.  

Given Marin County’s devotion to Democrat policies, I have to admit that the schadenfreude was strong in me when I read that it’s suffering terribly from shoplifting (as are all retailers in the hard-left San Francisco Bay Area):

Across the Bay Area, retailers say they are struggling with rampant theft as laws, regulations and other obstacles complicate enforcement, leaving business owners frustrated.

“French said he tries his best to de-escalate situations by talking the shoplifters out of stealing”

The Left Wing mind has become so diseased and/or so degraded that it can’t help itself.

They say that an addict can’t truly receive help until they hit rock bottom and admit that they have a problem.

The leftist can hit rock bottom and start digging to China and they won’t admit it. They voted for this? They will never admit that or even put a simple chain of cause and effect together.

Instead, they activate the programming to transfer thought to the emotional side of the brain. Oh no, it isn’t the policies that we voted for that is causing this crime and misery!! It’s climate change and anger from overturning Roe thst is causing this and we all know that is the Republicans fault!!!

That is how it works. That is how a lefty living in a place under total and complete lefty control somehow blames the opposition for its problems.

Excuse me? Are we supposed to care?

This is a definite case of “they deserve what they vote for”.

On a side note, can you imagine in today’s age and criminal climate, sitting in your home without any firearm in the house? What a scary thought to just be left at the whims of the criminal’s decision as to which house to “invade” today. If an LEO responds to your call it will like be thirty minutes to hours later. What do you do in the meantime? Ask the thugs to please just wait until the “good guy with a gun” arrives? The left wishes for you to be unarmed in order to promote equity and inclusion. That includes the thugs taking and doing what they wish.

No thank you! I’ll pass.

Nothing will change until the thieves start hitting the limousines and mansions.

First, in 2014, Marin County voters enthusiastically supported Proposition 47, with 79.14% of the voters saying “yes,” as opposed to 20.86% saying “no.”

California needs to get rid of referendums. Direct Democracy doesn't work.

The buffoons supported Prop 47 and probably don’t support the 2nd Amendment.

The mind of a leftist/liberal is impenetrable. So, they cannot be shamed nor held responsible for the consequences of their elections. They just exist and there ain’t a damned thing you can do about it!

They thought the lefty politicians they voted for would not implement their lefty schemes in their wealthy community - some of these lefty politicians like Gavin Newsom have homes in areas like Marin.

Rampant homelessness, rampant shoplifting, criminal activity - well, that is for other people’s communities, certainly not theirs.

They deserve it. You’ll find no sympathy from me. Now break ground on those large Section 8 projects your voted to put in other people’s neighborhoods.

I know there’s a bunch of ‘campers’ parked in Marin County, so maybe this ‘shoplifting’ problem is more these ‘campers’ just doing their grocery and other runs.

The whole point of Prop 47 was to prevent blacks from going to jail. The theory is that they could be diverted from a career in crime. Sooner or later, the left has to be made to admit this theory is false. Most likely later.
