California Democrats are treating crime as a political game, not a serious issue that needs to be addressed.

California Democrats are playing legislative games to try and tank the effort to allow voters to potentially repeal Proposition 47. Prop 47 prevented prosecutors from charging grand theft, shoplifting worth less than $950, and drug possession as felonies, even for repeat offenders. It thus allowed shoplifters to raid stores and pharmacies without serious threats of jail time and prevented prosecutors from leveraging charges to get drug addicts with criminal charges into treatment programs.
