Here he at length speaks out against popular Republican lies and conspiracy theories.

You keep lying.

You have brought up the following falsehood several times "It is not a crime to steal under $1000 in a store". This is pure, unadulterated BS. Try reading the following because there aren't many bigly words in it so you should be able to understand. https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-160551360299.

He also continues to refer to organized retail theft, as in the smash-and-grab robberies taking place in big cities around the country, as "looting" in California. They are not "looting" in the legal sense in California:

https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/defense/penal-code/463/

Penal Code 463 PC - California's "looting" laws. In Penal Code 463 PC, California law defines the crime of looting as taking advantage of a state of emergency to commit burglary, grand theft or petty theft. Looting can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony and is punishable by up to 3 years in jail.

Those smash-and-grab robberies have nothing to do with a state of emergency. They are organized retail theft crimes taking place in broad daylight in many cases and having nothing to do with otherwise ordinary law-abiding citizens seizing upon the opportunity to steal goods during a state of emergency.

And, BTW, Tough On Crime Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom passed a law allowing prosecutors to charge it as a felony regardless of the dollar amount, as is also stated in your link:

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law Wednesday aimed at curbing organized retail theft, according to Associated Press reporting. The law allows prosecutors to seek to charge the offense as either a misdemeanor or a felony.

It was different 8 years ago. 8 years ago democrats were not defunding the police. 8 years ago VP Harris was prosecuting criminals not bailing them out of jail. 8 years ago the democrat party on California were democrats not socialists. 8 years ago schools weren't teaching critical race theory. By the way what were the Republican policies that caused the Great Republican crash that you keep talking about that wiped out millions of jobs. I can't seem to find that in past history. What year was that?

[Deleted by Admin] There was no difference between now and 8 years ago other than the massive destruction of most things Trump touched.

You think it is just a wild coincidence that every major economic downturn of the past 100 years began on a Repub so-called potus' watch? It is different policies all the time. In Trump's case it was defunding the CDC and pulling out every one of their Pandemic Prevention and Response Teams from those Chinese labs in 2018 against all expert advice not to do something so dangerous, foolish and unnecessary. Then when the experts' warnings did indeed come to fruition in late 2019/ early 2020, he lied to the world about his colossal blunder result being a "Democrat Party HOAX! We've got this under control! There will be NO coronavirus in the Fall (of 2020). " Then he spent a year telling the world "It will go away without a vaccine!

Result? The huge economic Crash, massive USA job losses by the millions and, yep, the inevitable inflation due to his cowardice and lies destroying supply chains all around the world for years afterwards.

For Hoover, Eisenhower, Nixon / Ford, Reagan, Bush1 and Bush2, their huge or multiple Recessions were due to other new and unprecedented methods. But more often than not, as it was with Trump's Economic Disaster, it came down to them either doing nothing when the time and the Dems were begging them to do this or that or finally doing the exact wrong thing in response to a normal otherwise manageable economic cycle: as in being consistently mistaken that cutting taxes disproportionately for top income margins at the expense of all the other margins will create some magical Supply-Side / Trickle-Down economic expansion and jobs creation that NEVER has happened in the history of America and instead does exactly what any intelligent person would predict; it makes the super wealthy even wealthier and everyone else poorer.

It is a crime but the police don't handle any crime in CA under $1000 and they are not arrested or charged with a crime. If it is over $1000 and they are charged they are released immediately under CA bail laws. So in fact it is a crime that goes unpunished therefore continuing daily. Try telling the stores that are getting robbed daily that people are being arrested and are in jail. Camera footage shows same groups robbing same stores daily. I am sure you support this.

[PVMonger]

I live in California. Every day on our news we have looters robbing stores. 10 to 90 black looters hitting California stores every day. San Francisco and LA the worst. Walgreens has closed several stores in San Fran because they are getting robbed daily. Stores have limited hours because they are getting robbed every night. It is not a crime to steal under $1000 in a store and no police will come so 20 people steal $900 each. Maybe CNN does not report this but it is on our local news daily. Murders are up 30% to 100% in our major cities in 2021. Our government both local and federal with defunding the police has made California and the USA less safe. Especially in democrat run states. The newly elected black mayor of New York City has promised to increase the police force and to start decreasing crime and locking criminals up. BLM leader has promised bloodshed and destruction if he gets tough on crime. Democrats will keep pulling up distorted statistics and say there is no crime problem. I live here. I see it every day. Obviously you do not live in a democrat state or even in the USA or you would be a lot smarter.

You keep lying.

Yep, that's the favorite old Repub anti-California chestnut!

"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded!

LOL.

I lived in California for decades until about 8 years ago. I still have dozens of happy and satisfied friends living in the LOS Angeles area, watching their property values increase significantly annually, their salaries increase, their retirement investments improve substantially, their kids grow and thrive in good schools, active year round in great weather.

Neither I nor any of them ever considered moving out of California because of the junk and problems you apparently found to wallow in and harp on for a single moment. The shittiest times I ever had anywhere in the USA were when Repubs were in the White House having it their way, which meant a Great Repub Crash, Recession and Millions of Jobs wiped out all across the country.

I have lived in California all my life (more than 60 years).

As a homeowner for over 35 years I have greatly enjoyed the boom times when the democrats ran things in Washington.

As well as suffering through the downturns that gloomy republican administrations in the bad times delivered.

Since Joe Biden took office my home value has soared this year.

[EihTooms]

Obviously you don't live in California. California crime is totally out of control. The smart people that can afford to leave the do so.

The democrat party caters to the people that vote for them. Criminals and illegals make up a big amount of them. For people that own a house property has increased but taxes in the state have gone up. If you are a renter then you are paying higher rent than most other states. Over 50% of people do not own property and pay high rent and high taxes along with the highest gas prices in the USA. The democrats have lied for decades to get control in CA. They will promise the world to their voters who are welfare cases, homeless, criminals and illegals. If that isn't enough they control the voting booths so they easily can cheat. That is why California is screwed. You don't live here. You don't pay taxes here. You don't buy gas and groceries here. You know nothing!!

Yeah, longtime hardline Repubs have been licking their chops anxious to get at and lock in California's 55 Electoral College awards since forever. They've tried everything; splitting the state in half, false claims about truck loads of Mexicans brought in to vote, lies about the crime rates, lies about nobody wanting to live there anymore, lies, lies, lies.

California is the biggest EC Prize.

The "I was a Democrat but Democrats destroyed California!" is on old chestnut favorite. Meanwhile, my property values and rental property rates there continue to skyrocket. Remember Yogi Berra's lament about a previously frequented restaurant?

"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded!

LOL. That's the crap they're trying to convince everyone about California.

See, if longtime hardline Repubs can lock in those 55 California Electoral College awards, they won't have to work so hard to cheat everywhere else in order to "win"" elections despite their Party's consistently atrocious governance results vs that of Dems like Biden, Newsom et al.

Maybe that's why he's so pro abortion and pro defund the policia?

I'm seeing California on the 17th place in violent crimes.

After Texas, after Alabama, after Oklahoma, waaaaaaaaaaaaay after Louisiana and Alaska and most other red states in the Union.

I am officially a former democrat and now independent. California democrats have devastated the state. Crime and looting is at an all time high with no end in site.

I'm glad you've dropped that "disillusioned ex-Democrat" shtick. It was bound to become quite tiring after a while.

I am officially a former democrat and now independent. California democrats have devastated the state. Crime and looting is at an all time high with no end in site. Taxes are one of the highest on the nation. Gas prices are higher than any other state. The democrats are an embarrassment to the working people who voted for them. Now with Biden in the presidency which I admit that I was dumb enough to vote for him the country is in devastation. Our governor, Biden and the democrat state government are to blame. I can no longer vote for a democrat. Democrats are officially the racist party and party of hate.
