Ive been reading a story about progressive das that are soft on crime. How bad is the situation really? On the one hand it seems like career criminals dont get locked up until they kill someone and on the other hand id think its a good thing we dont waste time prosecuting for minor offenses. Also reading this could just be misinformation.

Anyone here live in San Francisco?

San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin filed manslaughter charges Monday against Troy McAlister, a parolee accused of killing two pedestrians on New Year's Eve while driving drunk in a stolen car. The case has sparked intense criticism of Boudin, including a recall effort for his choice not to prosecute McAlister's multiple recent arrests leading up to the deadly incident, instead referring the arrests to state parole officials.

The controversy caps the former public defender's challenging first year in office and spotlights his contentious relationship with law enforcement.

Boudin, the son of former radical leftist activists, won the race for district attorney in 2019 as part of a politically progressive wave of prosecutors in cities across the country committed to restorative justice over mass incarceration.

In fact, Boudin’s office filed 4,300 new criminal cases last year.

This is going to be a long post, one that gets a bit into the weeds. If you don’t have time to read on, just remember this: “Boudin is not bringing charges” is a lie, plain and simple. It’s one that I see every day in online neighborhood forums. And one that Sacks has been shamelessly repeating over and over again in different venues. (If you’ve heard the separate claim that Boudin isn’t holding enough trials, scroll down to the very bottom to learn why that is misleading too.)

Luckily it is only in deep blue area where the justice system was always sub par.

But it is a real problem and is getting worse every day. Crimes rates have not been this bad in over thirty years.

Big boi Soros is responsible for most of it.

At the root Soros wants to demoralize the people of the united states so that they are weaker and easier to steal money from.

To demoralize a people you have to punish the heroes and reward the criminals - a satanic inversion of the God morality that built this country’s golden age. We are seeing it right before our eyes.

Conservatives: “we love the government spending $80,000 of our tax dollars a year imprisoning someone who needs to be in alcohol and drug rehab instead! That’s what small government and fiscal responsibility looks like!”

and he's correct, charging someone for a non-violent crime when they're on parole is silly. often the parole board can revoke parole and put them back in prison far quicker and for a longer sentence than they'd get for a non-violent misdemeanor.

why spend tax payer money to get someone for a 100$ fine after a 2 month wait when u can get them in prison next week? did it work here? no. does it often work just like that? yes.

What about people in NYC getting aggravated assault felony charges downgraded to a trespassing charge with 0 jail time?

Petty crimes like turn-stile jumpers need to be thrown in jail because if you don't, you invert the very fabric of civilization. You can't teach people that they will be rewarded for uncivil behavior. If it one of those inconvenient truths that can only be proven over the long term - not the short term.
