The committee working to recall LA DA George Gasc\u00f3n has this announcement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

For all the victims of George Gascon\u2019s reckless policies. For all the families who have been robbed of justice. And for every law-abiding resident who just wants to feel safe.<\/p>\n

George Gascon has got to go.<\/p>\n

Today, we will take a major step towards making that a reality.<\/p>\n

Join us TODAY at 1:45pm at the LA County Registrar of Voters. A large moving truck filled with all the signed petitions will be driven to the County Registrar, and delivered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The petitions get the recall on the ballot. Now the election has to be won. The results in San Francisco last month are encouraging. With apologies to “New York, New York,” if sanity can take hold there it can take hold anywhere.<\/p>\n

In criminal justice policy, there is a wide range within which reasonable people can differ. But the Boudin\/Gasc\u00f3n version of “reform” is outside the range. The claim that these policies (effectively discriminalizing a wide range of destructive behavior and imposing lax sentences for major crimes) somehow improve<\/em> public safety is preposterous. We have previously demonstrated that one of Gasc\u00f3n’s key claims of support in the research is baseless. See this post<\/a> and this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But can Gasc\u00f3n defeat recall the same way he got elected in the first place? Massive spending in that election convinced many low-information voters that Gasc\u00f3n was “the Democratic candidate” even though the election is nonpartisan and the incumbent he was running to oust was also a Democrat.<\/p>\n

Gasc\u00f3n is already making the same noises. He claims the recall effort is a reactionary Republican one. Right. It has been endorsed by, among others, that notorious Republican stronghold the City Council of Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

Will pro-crime billionaires dump huge funds into the election to pull off the same deception again? If they do, will it work? Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
