laws reducing the consequences for more serious crimes including drug dealing, assault, domestic violence, car theft and commercial burglary; laws allowing the early release of thousands of serious and violent criminals including residential burglars, sex offenders and even murderers; the state&#8217;s failure to provide anything close to adequate mental health treatment facilities, and the ACLU-won prohibition against involuntary commitment into such facilities of the obviously mentally ill;\u00a0 progressive district attorneys who refuse to prosecute most crimes and refuse to seek the full sentences provided under state law for serious and violent offenders; and finally, the hundreds of activist judges Governors Brown and Newsom have appointed, willing to deny cities like San Francisco the ability to even attempt to address the safety of the most crime-plagued neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>There is quite a bit of evidence that the public has had enough of this insanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a story that fits the category of &#8220;only in California&#8221;
