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.
