It's So Bad Even Californians Have Had It: LA DA Loses Appeal After Not Enforcing Law, San Francisco DA Faces Recall

The signs continue to grow that Californians have had enough of "Progressive" district attorneys' soft-on-crime policies as the futures of the district attorneys of Los Angeles and San Francisco look very uncertain.

On Thursday, an appeals court upheld a lower court's ruling that Los Angeles DA George Gascon cannot refuse to charge criminals under the state's three-strikes law, Fox News reported.

The Association of Deputy District Attorneys for Los Angeles County responded by suing Gascon that same month to stop him from forcing them to break the law.

"While an elected District Attorney has wide discretion in determining what charges to pursue in an individual case, that discretion does not authorize him or her to violate the law or to direct attorneys representing the district attorney's office to violate the law," Michele Hanisee, president of the ADDA, said in a December 2020 news release announcing the suit.

Today, in the ADDA lawsuit, the Court of Appeal affirmed the rule of law.

Walgreens spent 46 times the chain average on security for its San Francisco locations and five have closed due to the high theft rate, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

A May San Francisco Standard Voter Poll showed 57 percent of respondents favored recalling Boudin, while a mid-May poll conducted by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce found that 67 percent want him out.
