The ‘devil’ you know

The current Los Angeles District Attorney, Jackie Lacey, is up against a left wing, progressive bureaucrat named George Gascon, who is heavily supported by millions of dollars from anti-American, left wing billionaire, George Soros, and other wealthy bay area billionaires.

Soros and his minions are responsible for the election of District Attorneys in Portland, Seattle, Atlanta and St. Louis (remember the DA who recently charged two home-owners for defending their property against a horde of Antifa and BLM agitators).

For those of you who do not know who this subversive individual is, Gascon quickly rose through the ranks of the Los Angeles Police Department by focusing more on being a police manager than being a law enforcer.

After leaving Los Angeles, Gascon ended up as the Chief of Police in San Francisco, and presided over an era of high crime (good luck finding a safe place to park your car in ‘Frisco), increasing homelessness, and needle strewn, feces covered streets.

Gascon wants to remove the death penalty from the statute books, abolish gang crime enhancements, end the cash bail system, and de-criminalize a variety of crimes such as drug possession and shoplifting.

Unsurprisingly, his ideas about re-imagining the justice system have not sat well with his former colleagues — the LAPD officers union and the San Francisco Police officers union have thrown their support behind Lacey.

So the choice is clear. Do we want our streets to resemble the worst of San Francisco? Do we want the nightly turmoil in Portland to come to Los Angeles? Do we really need more criminals released from jail just as crime is increasing? Unfortunately, Republicans don’t have a dog in this fight, but we should hold our noses and vote for Lacey. The devil you know is better than the one you don’t. Bill Heard
