Woke LA DA George Gascon's new chief of staff is proud former LOOTER who wants to abolish prisons and defund 'barbarian' police: Backed ransacking of shops during 2020 BLM riots
UK Daily Mail ^ | 12/16/2023 | Martha Williams

Los Angeles' District Attorney George Gascon has promoted a self-professed looter to serve as Chief of Staff for the largest prosecutorial office in the country.

George Gascon, who's famed for his progressive views, announced on Friday that he will be assigning Tiffiny Blacknell to the Chief of Staff position in his office.

Blacknell, a former public defender, regularly speaks of her support of defunding the police - referring to LAPD officers as 'barbarians' and claiming they are an 'occupying army'.

The anti-police activist has posed wearing T-shirts saying bold statements like 'the police are trained to kill us' and 'they can't kill us all' in selfies taken for her social media.

The Los Angeles native proudly admitted in a 2020 Facebook post to being a part of LA's notorious 1992 Rodney King riots against police brutality, writing: 'I was a looter in 1992.'

'When the opportunity arose, we took some sh*t. It was one of the most formative moments of my life,' Blacknell confessed.

In her confession, which came amid 2020's Black Lives Matter protests, Blacknell told those who were upset about the rampant looting in Santa Monica and West Hollywood: 'Cry me a river!'

'Please don't come on my page complaining about protestors or looters. Don't text me SH*T about the Whole Foods in West Hollywood and your beloved Santa Monica.'

Blacknell is also against prisons - stating 'prison is obsolete. We need to reimagine America without it.'

Her career has been riddled with controversy, and includes a 2020 incident in which she went behind the backs of the prosecutor and victim's family in a gang murder case to negotiate a 'sweetheart' plea deal with the defendant.

Gascon's choice of chief of staff is not surprising.

those enabling the de-funding of law enforcement are so motivated because appropriate enforcement would sweep themselves up into prison

Everyone should just visit her residence on a daily basis, also grab the keys to her car too. See how she likes it.

All the Bad People go into government so that they can do bad things on a grand scale and get paid for it.

It’s not a new phenomenon. Joe Biden started his career about 60 years ago.

“stating ‘prison is obsolete. We need to reimagine America without it.’


Prisons, as opposed to dungeons, were conceived as a humane alternative to other punishments for crime, such as execution, flogging, branding, and mutilation. Should we imagine a return to that?

Which is more likely to discourage criminal behavior—three hots and a cot for three or four years or really intense pain for minutes or hours, bad pain for days or weeks, and noticeable discomfort for perhaps months and the memory of the pain for a lifetime?

But I suspect that Blacknell would be appalled at the idea. I imagine she’s thinking along the lines of counseling for the offender and perhaps some kind of reparation payment for the memory of slavery.

Like the famous TV political ads for George H.W. Bush against soft on crime Democrats. Willie Horton, the felon let out of prison on the Michael Dukakis backed furlough system (and failed to return, going on to commit more crimes) said “I’m for the Democrats. It’s in my own interest.”

Wikipedia summary:
What happened to Willie Horton?
Released for a weekend as the beneficiary of a Massachusetts furlough program, he failed to return, and was later recaptured and convicted of committing assault, armed robbery, and rape in Maryland, where he remains incarcerated.

Two ads from 1988—

If this keeps up there will be no one and no place left to loot because everyone who actually contributes to society will have gone somewhere else. So maybe they can then loot each other...like the rats they are.

From the Daily Mail. Has ANY U.S. media talked about this?

It’s not that hard folks. They hate white people and they hate white people hair because they don’t have it. It just ain’t that hard.

I think it goes further than their hair. I believe they hate being black and all their black pride, black lives matter, etc. is BS like the gay pride crap.

They're not proud at all, just angry and miserable.
