California Governor "Moonbeam" Brown traditionally celebrates major holidays by granting clemency to miscreants doing time. He has granted 143 pardons and 131 commutations on Christmas Eve. But he didn't show leniency to Napoleon Brown, the older brother of San Francisco Mayor London Breed. In spite of London's request, Napoleon is still in the slammer.
Breed said last week that people who break the law should face consequences, but also have a chance at redemption, especially if they're related to people in high government positions.
“Too many people, particularly young black men like my brother was when he was convicted, are not given an opportunity to become contributing members of society after they have served time in prison,” she said.
Brown, who struggled with drugs from a young age, recently was caught with heroin in prison and had two years added to his sentence, KNTV reported.
Breed, 44, who was a defense witness for her brother at his trial, has spoken out about her rough upbringing in San Francisco public housing. But having a rough upbringing does not excuse criminal behavior.
Brown, who is now 46 and no relation to Gov. Brown, pushed Lenties White from a getaway car on the Golden Gate Bridge after an armed robbery in June 2000. White, 25, was struck by a vehicle and died. Why Brown pushed White is unclear, but Sandra McNeil, White's mother, said Brown doesn't deserve early release and would rather he rot away in prison for what he had done to her son.
The dude still has two dimes to go and Moonbeam wants him to go the whole nine yards.
“I don’t think it would be justice,” McNeil said. “She’s the mayor, so she’s got a little power, so she thinks she can get her brother out.”
Among those who were granted Christmas Eve pardons by Brown are five refugees from Cambodia and an immigrant from Honduras -- all of whom are facing the possibility of deportation because of criminal convictions -- two people who lost their homes in a recent wildfire and a former state official. Brown's commutations included several former gang members who have renounced their former ties and will now have an opportunity to petition the parole board for early release.
Moonbeam has already granted 283 commutations and 1,332 pardons since returning to office in 2011, far more than any California governor since at least the 1940s. This is due to his extremely far-left philosophy that believes prisons only make for better criminals so it's better to let them wander the streets.
Fortunately, the governor needs approval from the state Supreme Court to pardon or commute the sentence of anyone twice convicted of a felony. If it was up to Brown, nobody would do time and there would be no borders, no flag, no country. Kumbayah.
The court in recent weeks has rejected seven clemency requests by the idiot governor, including one Monday.
