Assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer or firefighter.

Proposition 57 reclassified violent felonies, including the rape of an unconscious person, domestic violence, human trafficking of minors, and: 57 “increased parole and good behavior opportunities for felons convicted of nonviolent crimes.” 47, introduced and passed Proposition 57, called the Parole for the Nonviolent Criminals. Two years later, many of the same people who sponsored and supported Prop.

At a time, because thanks to Brad Pitt and his Hollywood brethren and the Democrats led by Gavin Newsom, the thief can go to the store next door and steal up to $950 and still not commit a felony.

That’s why we see people on bicycles going through drug stores stealing less than $950 at a time. Maybe the Democrats and the Hollywood elite didn’t think criminals could add, but they can.

47, it is now only a misdemeanor if the criminal: 47 lowered the charges and penalties for certain offenses, including reducing specific nonviolent property and drug crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. In 2014, Proposition 47, called the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, was sponsored and supported by Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, labor unions, Brad Pitt, Tim Robbins, Demi Moore, and a host of other elites. This has led to the misclassification of violent felonies, the early releases of convicted criminals, and the rise in crime and serial retail theft. Over the past twenty years, California Democrats in the state legislature, with the financial and public support of the mega-wealthy and Hollywood elites, have passed legislation under the banner of criminal justice reform. California ’s criminals got lobbyists, they got a sympathetic ear from the Hollywood elite and the mega-wealthy, and they got access to power through California ’s ruling political party – the Democrats. Specifically, there has been a massive pendulum shift in the past twenty years that reduced drug crimes and turned felonies into misdemeanors. The laws have been changed to protect the criminal, not the victims and people that live in tough neighborhoods. Like everything else in California, the attitude of elected officials and Hollywood elites has put the right of the criminals above the victim’s rights.

There were real consequences to criminal behavior. If you violated the law, it meant jail time.
