But the curtain will get pulled back in this space.\u00a0 Here’s the story’s<\/a> opening paragraph:<\/p>\n

Jerry Lyons, 31, had spent his entire adult life committing crimes. He had dozens of arrests in California \u2014 attempted robbery, burglary, evading police, driving a stolen vehicle, weapons charges, drug charges, shoplifting, trespassing, etc. \u2014 but kept getting turned loose until Thursday, when he finally killed somebody. Sheria Musyoka, 26, was an immigrant from Kenya who had graduated from Dartmouth and moved to San Francisco with his wife and three-year-old son. Lyons was behind the wheel of a stolen car when he killed Musyoka.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It doesn’t get any better.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This more fully describes Lyons’ most recent escapade:<\/p>\n

Two months before…Lyons was accused of plowing a stolen truck into eight cars on Thursday, killing a pedestrian and injuring three others, he was arrested in San Francisco for a remarkably similar crime \u2014 only it didn\u2019t result in any deaths or injuries. The Dec. 3 arrest was just one of scores of previous cases in San Francisco and San Mateo counties spanning the 31-year-old\u2019s entire adult life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s the summation:<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s recap: While out on \u201csupervised release\u201d on a theft conviction, Lyons was arrested Dec. 6 driving under the influence in a stolen car. Within a month, however, he was back on the streets and arrested again for driving under the influence on Jan. 5. You might think that two DUI arrests in less than a month would be enough to put somebody in jail and keep them there, but this is California, where the \u201ccatch-and-release\u201d policy turns criminals loose as soon as they\u2019re arrested.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The policy bending every assumption toward release has gone overboard to an insane extent\u00a0 —\u00a0 there’s just no other honest way to put it.\u00a0 But as long as its costs remain hidden, and are paid by the black people and immigrants the Left claims to care about, nothing is going to get done.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, Gavin Newsom, are you listening?<\/p>\n
