L..A. County D.A. receives 3 more "No Confidence" votes and hopefully will be recalled

It isn't just Gov. Gavin Newsom in the shadow of a recall anymore, now there is the possibility that the L.A. County District Attorney, George Gascón may be in danger of a recall and getting what he obviously deserves.

Organizers are working closely with county officials to finalize the petition for the recall and now three more cities joined the bandwagon declaring "no confidence" in the far-left, Soros-funded, prosecutor this week. [H/T Daily Wire]

Victims of Violent Crime sent out an email for the Recall of District Attorney Gascón:

“City leaders are beginning to see what citizens and victims have known: George Gascón threatens the safety of our communities with his pro-criminal policies and actions. Together, we can recall George Gascón and stop his soft on crime policies that are not providing justice for victims.”

[Gascón is reminiscent of a now deceased New York City judge named Bruce M. Wright, better known as "Turn 'em Loose Bruce," a sobriquet attributed to him due to his pro-criminal, little or no bail policy. He died in 2005 at the age of 86.]

Lancaster, La Mirada, and Whittier city councils all approved resolutions on Tuesday night, following previous similar moves by elected leaders in Beverly Hills, Pico Rivera, and Santa Clarita.

Gascón's mouthpiece, Max Szabo, told the DW:

“The City Council’s that have pursued these symbolic, pointless, and partisan attempts to aid a floundering recall effort are tiny islands of red in LA County’s sea of blue. Like the tough-on-crime policies of the 1980s and 1990s which focused on punishment at the expense of our safety, racial disparities, and limited public resources, they are destined to fail miserably.”

So tell us, Mr. Szabo, how does releasing criminals back out on the streets contribute to our safety rather than our danger?

According to the Antelope Valley Press, the Lancaster City Council approved the recall proposal 4-0-1, with one council member abstaining. The AVP said that “the resolution cited three policies Gascón implemented after he took office in December following his victory against incumbent Jackie Lacey in the Nov. 3 election.”

These policies included sweeping changes for cash bail and eliminating sentence enhancements – a reform Gascón later amended after public outcry.

According to the Valley Press, Deputy District Attorney John Hatami, one of several DDA's critical of  Gascón, spoke out against him at the meeting.

“The policies and directives implemented by George Gascón adversely affect the public safety of Lancaster,” Hatami said. “They don’t help or support the residents of Antelope Valley. Basically these policies provide comfort and support to criminals and wrongdoers.” Even the antelopes are not safe under Gascón's watch.

Hatami mentioned L.A. County Sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Owen, who was fatally shot execution-style outside a Lancaster apartment complex by a parolee in 2016. The Valley Press reported, “the parolee pleaded guilty last week and is set to be sentenced May 17 to life in prison without the possibility of parole.” Owens’ widow, Tania, is an honorary chair of the Gascón recall group.

“If another deputy in Lancaster is killed, we will not seek a special circumstance under George Gascón policies, and that means that person could be paroled at some point,” Hatami claimed. “Going forward, George Gascón won’t seek life without the possibility of parole in any case, no matter what the circumstances.” 

Because Gascón is pro-scumcrumpet and George Soros in anti-American.

Judge sets bail for Lancaster police shooting rioters

Lancaster, PA -- Thirteen Biden voters who are accused of criminal behavior while being part in a civil disturbance on Sunday night are in jail Tuesday. Of the thirteen in the slammer, seven of them had their bail set at $1 million.

Public documents on eight who have been charged are accused of instigating the demonstrations which predictably degenerated into rioting that seriously damaged Lancaster's police headquarters and produced an arson fire that closed off an intersection in the downtown area.

The shooting, which was the excuse for the demonstration, was of a man armed with a large knife in the act of attacking police, who appeared to be retreating to avoid violence, but as the man charged them he was shot once and died of his wound.

The police arrested five other individuals at the demonstration on similar charges, and they are awaiting to have their bail set. The baker's dozen of defendants range in age from 16 to 43 years, and live in Lancaster and nearby in Camp Hill, York and Mercersburg. 

None of the group arrested were Amish.

Charges differ among the eight whose documents were made public and vary from arson, rioting, institutional vandalism. One person was charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

The protests resulted from the shooting death by police of Ricardo Munoz, whose sister had called authorities in hopes of having him involuntarily committed for mental health treatment. 

Munoz has a criminal past and last year was arrested for slicing people with a knife as he appeared to attempt in this case. He had been out on bond, awaiting trial for allegations he stabbed four people last year, including a teenage boy who was stabbed in the face.

Due to the recent rioting across the nation, police made public the officer’s body camera video, showing Munoz, 27, come toward the cop with the large knife, holding it menacingly over his head, before the officer defended himself. There appears to be no doubt whatsoever that this was a "good shooting" as it was in total self-defense. As mentioned above, the officer's body camera shows him moving away from the assailant until he had no choice but to shoot. 

In order to protect the officer and his wife and children from the rioters, his name has not been released.
