So in this case, the trunk ballots will favor the candidate who's the most 'progressive' lunatic of the two Democrats. We just had a new outrage from our communist D.A. You see, L.A. has been plagued of late by a rash of street takeovers and street racing. In one horrific incident, two boys (11 and 8) were killed when they were struck by street racers on a residential street at speeds of 80+mph. One of the kids was thrown over 250 feet and every bone in his body was shattered. The problem has become so significant that there are several regional taskforces and one state-level taskforce directed by the governor to combat it. Millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent to stop and catch these guys. And now it comes out that our communist D.A. has issued a directive to all the ADAs to decline charges on street racers, street takeovers, and reckless drivers. He directed that such offenders be given pre-trial diversion to attend a 3-hour video class on responsible driving instead, after which there will be no record of their offense, not even any points on their licenses. He's basically raised a huge middle finger at all the cops and city and state officials, to include the governor, who have directed significant resources to stop this crime spree and said, "Make all the arrests you want, but here in L.A. County, I'll make sure none of them ever see the inside of a cell." We only know about this because one of the ADAs was so outraged, she went to Fox 11 News with the story and produced the emails showing Gascon personally ordering this. Gascon did it by email so that it wouldn't appear in the Official Policies of the L.A. County District Attorney, which is publicly available on the website. The day she appeared on Fox 11, the ADA got a knock on her door at home. Two D.A. Investigators were there and hand-delivered her a letter from Gascon accusing her of violating various departmental policies by going to the media without authorization. She said she felt like it was an episode of THE SOPRANOS, with Gascon's personal henchmen showing up on her doorstep, all because she just told the public what they have every right to know. Thank god Gascon's poll numbers are rock bottom. Unless something significant happens to change things, his opponent, Nathan Hochman, a former U.S. Attorney, will boot Gascon out of office in the November run-off.
