California is still wrestling with its affordability crisis and has a gas price catastrophe hanging over the state’s future. California Democrats, meanwhile, are focused on letting murderers out of jail early.

The California State Senate voted 24-11 to pass the “Youth Rehabilitation and Opportunity Act.” That whitewashed title is for a bill that would allow convicted murderers who were sentenced to life without parole to receive parole, so long as they committed murder between the ages of 18 and 25. In other words, grown adults 25 and under will be treated like children by the criminal justice system in California, even if they are cold-blooded murderers.
