No bail just part of it: LA s new DA totally eviscerating basic law

Los Angeles newly elected district attorney, George Gascon, has a plan for ensuring compliance with the county s draconian stay-at-home orders: make the city so dangerous that Angelenos will be terrified to step outside.

Gascon belongs to a wave of well-funded left-wing prosecutors who have come to office promising to eliminate racial disparities in the criminal-justice system. They are doing so by eliminating key components of the criminal-justice system itself. Gascon s office will no longer prosecute a wide range of misdemeanor offenses.

This is very weird and troubling.
