California works toward releasing convicts from death row after 20 years

As Twitchy reported in March, Idaho passed a law bringing back firing squads for executions. The ACLU reminded us all in 2020 that the death penalty had evolved from lynching and had no place in our justice system, and the year before that, we learned that Native Americans were disproportionately sentenced to death.

Frankly, we think a firing squad is too quick and painless for someone like Donald Dillbeck, who escaped from a work-release job he’d been sentenced to after murdering someone and used the opportunity to murder someone else. But as Dillbeck said just before his execution in Florida, “Ron DeSantis has done a lot worse.” Nice that he’d kept up with current events in prison.

Now we’re learning from the California Globe that the state legislature is looking at a bill that would release prisoners from death row after 20 years.

California Bill Will Release Death Sentenced Murderers After 20 Years.

These are murderers who killed multiple victims or killed in concert with a rape, robbery, kidnapping or torture.@CaliforniaGlobe https://t.co/guhbQDmS4S

The revolving door justice system has worked wonders in San Francisco. It only took them a year to scare Whole Foods away.

Michael Rushford writes:

Among the murderers who could apply for a sentence reduction and possible release is Tiequon Cox, who in 1984, went to the wrong Los Angeles home for a gang-revenge killing and murdered a mother, her daughter and two of her grandchildren. Cox was sentenced to death for these crimes. In 2004, while on death row, Cox stabbed another condemned murderer and, along with three other murderers, cut a hole in the San Quentin fence and nearly escaped.

…

The beneficiaries of this measure, if passed, will be criminals convicted of first-degree murder with special circumstances. These are murderers who killed multiple victims or killed in concert with a rape, robbery, kidnapping or torture. While it would seem unthinkable for any legislator, let alone a group of them, to want their names on a bill that would allow murderers like these to go free, bear in mind that Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, Alameda County DA Pamela Price and California Attorney General Rob Bonta all support setting murderers free after 15-20 years in prison.

With the recent fatal shooting of a 5-year-old girl riding in the backseat of her parents car on a bay area freeway, last week’s fatal stabbing of revered tech executive Bob Lee on a San Francisco sidewalk, and the random murder of an innocent hostage and injury of two others at a Roseville Park, the slogan “no justice, no peace” seems quite appropriate for the Golden State.

No! That would include my niece's killer. He will kill again. A well-known forensic psychiatrist who several degrees, papers and books written, and testified in several serial killer trials, testified in court that this guy had a problem that would result in his doing it again.

And they want us to give up our guns.

Law-abiding citizens need to give up their guns, while convicted murderers, kidnappers, and rapists go free.

@GavinNewsom should be concerned with the victims' rights in his state. Since he is very worried about rights.

I used to ‘joke’ that it’s a good thing that we have life without the possibility of parole because it keeps most goblins off the street for up to seven years.

It was a joke. A joke.

Now, it’s close to becoming reality.

Why are criminals the only gun owners that California progressives love?

Glad my husband and I are planning our escape soon.

Yeah! Sure! Why not! All the important people either have assigned security details or can afford their own. The rest of us will just have to adjust to the violent offenders wandering among us.

The whole idea of the left is seek out the worst of the society, adopt them as mascots, and promote them. This is why in places like San Francisco they legalise theft, allow open drug scenes etc.
