Thanks to Prop. 57 About 16,000 VIOLENT Felons to be Released From Prison

The people of California must love two things—lots of crimes and lots of guns in private hands. With the passage of Prop. 57 in November, the first of the year will see more than 16,000 violent criminals—including rapists—being put back on the streets. After Prop. 47 released thousands and kept tens of thousands from even being prosecuted, California has set the stage to become the Chicago of the West Coast. The good news is that more than one million guns have been bought in the former Golden State since January 1. Since the cops can’t/won’t protect us, the people will do the job.

“A list provided by the Association of Deputy District Attorneys of “nonviolent” felonies under Prop. 57 includes:

Assault with a deadly weapon with likely use of force
Battery with serious bodily injury
Solicitation to commit murder
Domestic violence
Inflicting corporal injury on a child
First-degree burglary
Rape/sodomy/oral copulation of unconscious person or by use of date rape drugs
Human trafficking involving a minor
Hate crimes
Arson of forest land causing physical injury
Assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer
Active participation in a street gang
Exploding destructive device with intent to cause injury

These are the crimes that we will see a spiking of in California. Thanks to the conclusion that rape is not a violent crime, expect to see a War on Women, rape of a women will do a massive problem. Another good reason for all women to protect themselves—since government will not. Chicago is known for gun violence—California will be known for rape. Proud?

Prop. 57’s passage worries local officials

By Amanda Williams, Village Life, 11/28/16

Local officials say the passage of the Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act, aka Proposition 57, on the November ballot could potentially cause an upswing in criminal activity.

Speaking on behalf of El Dorado County Sheriff John D’Agostini, Sgt. Tasha Thompson called Prop. 57 “deceptive.”

“With the passing of Prop. 57 California is going to witness the overturn of 40 years of criminal reform. In addition, it is going to allow the early release of 16,000 violent felons,” Thompson explained. “California will now reclassify violent crimes as nonviolent and add more fear to the victims of crimes already committed.

“With the passing of this measure our communities cannot expect crime to decrease,” she continued. “On the heels of AB 109 and Prop. 47, this causes more concern as to how law enforcement will continue to do its job, which is protecting and serving the public.”

Prop. 57, which passed with 64.2 percent of voters statewide supporting it, allows certain state prison inmates convicted of nonviolent felony crimes to be considered for early release and seek earlier parole hearings. It will also allow rapid release for repeat offenders convicted under the Three Strikes Law for serious crimes like assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, residential burglary and rape of an unconscious person.

“As of the beginning of 2016 there were about 25,000 nonviolent state felons that could seek early release and parole under Proposition 57,” according to ballotpedia.org.

With the passing of Prop. 57, corrections officials will now be able to give sentencing credits to inmates for early release, including individuals convicted of violent crimes. Also, prosecutors will no longer have the power to decide whether minors should be tried as adults; the decision now goes to juvenile court judges.

The Legislative Analyst’s Office quoted the state of California could see savings “in the tens of millions of dollars annually, primarily due to reductions in the prison population, and net county costs of likely a few million dollars annually.”

El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson opposed Prop. 57, citing what he called the duplicitous way the proposition was presented to voters and Gov. Jerry Brown’s “grand experiment” in an attempt to reduce the state prison population.

“Proposition 57 was presented in a very misleading fashion, claiming only to apply to nonviolent offenders and implying that it will somehow make the public safer,” Pierson told the Mountain Democrat. “The potential release of prisoners will now be in the hands of unelected and often unknown parole boards. It’s hard to see how this makes the public safer. Crime is already on the rise in California due to new laws. The true impact of the poorly drafted measure is truly unknown.”

Lynn Brown, vice president of the Sacramento chapter of Crime Stoppers, volunteer and supporter of Parents of Murdered Children Coalition, founder of the Advocates for Public Safety and the Electric Blue Foundation and wife of a police officer, talked about her concerns about Prop. 57 at an El Dorado Hills community meeting before the election.

“Is it really as they say or is it a shell game? If we continue to diminish the severity of crimes, what are we telling criminals?” Brown said.
