CALIFORNIA IS A CRIME TOLERANT STATE

It’s time for the renegades to make their move

There was a time in the past when California meant a great opportunity to people from all over the country and people outside the U.S. as well. These were people who wanted to not only do what was expected of them but go above and beyond that.

These renegades and underdogs showed strength and character. People who were legitimately disabled worked even harder to overcome their limitations.

In California today, the underdogs and disabled now include the criminals, bums, drug addicts and alcoholics, those with various loosely defined mental problems, and illegal aliens. These fringe groups of people should do what everybody else is expected to do. The word-police have sanitized these fringe groups with words like “homeless” “challenged” “undocumented” and “disordered”.

State and local governments have taken the redefining of abhorrent behavior to a broader level. Cities like San Francisco, Davis, and others label themselves “sanctuary” locations. This actually means they are areas where criminals can hide out and avoid sanctions for their illegal behavior.

The recent incident on Pier 14 in San Francisco is a perfect example of our down slide. These cities are evidently willing to sacrifice their law abiding citizens in an effort to assist low life bottom dwellers. They are now serving as magnets for law-breakers and the criminal element.

In the new crime-tolerant state of California, we bend over to help those who make no effort to help themselves. By accommodating those on the bottom we step on those in the middle, and knock down those who get to the top. It’s a long way down to achieve third-world status.

It will be even more difficult to stop the downward slide and attempt the climb back up. The ignorant and arrogant politicians and supporters of this idiotic trend in decision-making and policy are not capable of rational thought or common sense.

While some politicians try hard to explain how they may have supported sanctuary status in the past, in light of recent highly publicized policy failures, many are now opposed to it. Others steadfastly defend their defense of the fringe groups because those groups support them politically.

Once again the excuse factory is cranking out explanations. I’m not sure if the general public will be duped by the pro-crime groups.

Some of the most disturbing excuse mongers are at the highest level of the San Francisco police department. They offer excuses for releasing criminals that make them sound like lawyers and politicians. They should be ashamed.

California is now a crime-tolerant state. Maybe it’s time for the rank and file peace officers to take matters into their own hands.

Perhaps when it is known that San Francisco is going to release an illegal alien a phone call to ICE from an anonymous peace officer would be in order. We need some renegades, rebels and mutineers to overcome the high level of spineless crime tolerance.

I think the rank and file peace officers know that crime tolerance and sanctuary is wrong. Maybe they can lend a hand in overturning the pro-crime movement in California.

Take the state of California back.
