Orange County convicted felon was free to kill because of liberal policies

Useless is as useless does

Garden Grove, California --  A 33-year-old convicted felon from Orange County was let out of prison after serving an extremely brief sentence. This gang member who had a long list of serious crimes went on a robbing and stabbing spree that killed four people and wounded two.

The town mayor where the suspect began his reign of terror and mayhem said on Thursday that the man should never have been released from prison. Local police exposed policies pushed by left-wing politicians in recent years [who are never themselves victims of their policies] that allowed this scumbag to go free and carry out his violent carnage.

"Records indicate [the suspect] was sentenced to four years in state prison for 14 convictions, for drug possessions, possession of a firearm, an assault weapon and ammunition by a felon," KABC reported. "Garden Grove Police Chief Tom DaRe said [name withheld here] had previously been incarcerated for possession of methamphetamine with the intention to distribute while armed with an assault weapon."

Law enforcement officials told reporters Thursday that recent changes made in California Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109) -- promoted and signed into law by Democratic Gov. Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown in 2011 -- significantly shortened the felon's sentencing. An older California law then enabled him to reduce his time served by about half, allowing him to "earn a day of credit for each day served," KABC explained.

The result is that the violent gang banger's prison sentence for 14 convictions lasted less than 16 months. He was released on Jan. 14, 2016.

Garden Grove Mayor Steven Jones blasted the policies, particularly AB 109, which allowed the violent criminal to go free. "He is a violent criminal who should have never been considered for release," said Jones in comments reported by KABC.

Local police sources said that some law enforcement officers likewise blame left-wing policies and negligent progressive politicians for the ability of violent criminals like the suspect to continue to pose a threat to citizens.

"The suspect is a Proposition 47 candidate," one police source told The Daily Wire, referring to a reduced-sentencing law supported by then-Attorney General Kamala Harris and passed in 2014, the year the felon was first incarcerated.

 While the "sales pitch" for both Proposition 47 and Proposition 57 was to "reduce jail overcrowding and focus on education and reform, rather than straight punishment," the source said, political leaders failed to "follow through." In other words, they forgot about the reform and mental health part.

"Brown pushed for the jail reform and won, but then never set anything up on the back end," said the source. "No facilities have been created for mental health or drug rehab. So now the police can't take people to jail, and they don't have any rehabilitation clinics to bring them to. The state has basically put the burden on hospitals, which are not equipped to deal with these problems. ... Brown made a lot more than one 'train to nowhere' during his time in office."

After the alleged scumbag stabbed two people to death at his apartment complex, he then went on a "random" stabbing rampage, attacking people at multiple locations, including a man at a gas station and a security guard at a 7-Eleven, where he was stopped by police and gave himself up.

If he is found guilty, and there is video evidence that he is, hopefully he will serve a sentence that is more than a slap on the wrist.

The left wing media hasn't played up this story very much because it doesn't fit their agenda of gun violence and it's an embarrassment to the liberals who passed these mindless bills for the sake of virtue signaling.
