There may yet be hope for California as Stockton mayor Kevin J. Lincoln declines to have the Sikh shop owners who administered instant justice on a shoplifter who brought in a trashcan to fill up with stolen merch. In a world of Soros DAs like New York City's Alvin Bragg who loves to prosecute people who defend themselves and others, this is a refreshing story.
First, let's review. You remember this right?

Well, the story gets better and better!

Ninja lawyer Harmeet Dhillon breaks the story.
I’m relieved @kevinjlincoln says the Stockton 7-11 Sikhs are not suspects.

Might it be most Americans - besides those who fancy themselves our moral betters in the media and progressive government - are getting a little sick of the reflexive move to defend the perpetrator?
The media response.

Police response time is glacial.

My hope is that this will give everyone a boost in morale, that we can see something happen, respond quickly to it and spread the word about successes like this. We need to be reminded on a regular basis that we are not and have never been alone.

All signs point to 'yes'.
The world is backwards right now. In what alternate universe could what they did be wrong?

Glad you asked. In Gavin Newsom's world.
Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln announces that the Sikh 7-Eleven store clerks seen on a viral video dispensing justice to a shoplifter are not being charged or investigated.

Not surprised that Stockton Mayor is a Republican. California has some great Republicans; being subjected to constant insanity from the Democrat majorities can make some people more conservative. It happened to me...
