“Meaningful criminal penalties” for piracy, not for crushing a baby’s skull. Mon Dec 28, 2020
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. When George Gascon ran for DA of Los Angeles County on a platform of protecting criminals from cops, Hollywood money put him over the top. Once Gascon got into office, he began dismantling protection for victims of violent crimes. Even for the littlest victims. The beneficiaries of his pro-crime policies funded by Hollywood included a monster who beat a 6-month-old baby girl so badly that her skull shattered leaving her with brain damage.
New LA DA’s Reforms Draw Ire From Victims, Former DA
The moment George Gascón took office as Los Angeles County’s district attorney on Dec. 7, he implemented a sweeping overhaul of the criminal justice system.
Gascón, whose stated goal is to “reimagine public safety,” has been widely criticized by deputy district attorneys, lawyers, current and former officials, and families of victims.
He’s preventing justice from being served, says one widow whose husband’s alleged killer could experience leniency under Gascón’s reforms.
“For this man [Gascón] to come in and not follow the rule of law and just make up his own policies is ludicrous,” Tania Owen, 55, told The Epoch Times. “As the DA, as the top man, [he] should be the defender of the community that he serves.”
