I agree there needs to be decriminalization of private property protection.
Not just in California, but all across the country we need to build more prisons. Sadly we have wimpy politicians and judges who stand in the way. Thus instead of building prisons to lock away those who are detrimental to a healthy society, we waste trillions of dollars on wasteful projects like Green Energy programs from local communities all the way to the national level.
Instead of building more prisons our upside down society is trying to reduce the number of inmates by reducing the penalty for the crimes people commit. Thus crimes that were considered harmful to societies are now ignored, which escalates the number of perpetrators who commit those crimes, because criminals know they will not pay for their crime.
Another effect of this idiocy will be the children who grow up knowing they will not be punished for certain crimes against humanity, so they too will not learn right or wrong. You do not reduce crime by confusing generation after generation of what is moral and good for society.
While not all immoral behavior is criminal, immoral behavior does reduce a persons ability to distinguish between what is good or bad for society. After all, the word “immorality” is just a word meaning “Crime against human nature”. The more we allow those teaching our children to twist the meaning of what is and is not moral, the more we allow crimes against humanity to be explained away as harmless to society.
Thus I come to California’s Proposition 47 the voters of the state passed a few years ago. The left has successfully convinced a large portion of our society that we have too many people locked up in prisons and not enough prisons to handle them all.
So, instead of building more prisons, we decide to explain away the harm some crimes cause. Which has lead to the non-inforcement of laws the vast majority of citizens have learned to live by for thousands of years. In every society since the beginning of time humans have learned the destruction certain immoral behavior has on their society.
All this to reduce the number of people incarcerated. Soon children grow up learning that something which was once considered so bad that you could lose tour freedom over now gets a slap on the wrist.
I could go down the list of things children are involved with today that their parents and grandparents never would have even considered doing, but this is a comment not an article. The point being, the more we reduce the penalty of immoral behavior, the more children will grow up to commit crimes against humanity without understanding the full ramifications they cause all of society.
When was the last time any of those Lilly White liberals defending these stupid propositions walked into the hood to see how badly these measures have destroyed whole neighborhoods. Every time we allow the left to reduce the stigma of another immoral act, we put up another barrier for the poorest of society to crawl over in their attempt to better their life.
Winner winner chicken dinner.
Only a liberal couldn’t see that coming.
So the criminals are now carrying CALCULATORS to add up items so as to reduce their penalty!! I can’t take it. I’m done with these effing corrupt politicians!! Jerry Brown should be hung from the HOLLYWOOD sign!
Ron Paul was a nut and Rand Paul inherited some of his father’s characteristics.
Libertarians are often just as dangerous as progressives and Marxists because they don’t see the unintended consequences of their stupidity.
>>Where have our Churches Gone? The Sheep are not going to Church anymore.
They never were the sheep. The effect of becoming a post-Christian society is that people who aren’t Christians do not feel social pressure to pretend to be so. That’s a very bad thing, but it’s not the churches’ fault.
There will be a great falling away and people will become lawless. California is a great cesspool, but it is also the model for the future of American culture.
I wonder if rape and drug use would go down if decriminalized?
It is a cultural vacuum, not a culture. Basic animal behavior...

We have a collection of tribal cultures now. The melting pot became the salad bowl until a collection of toddlers threw the salad on the floor. So no one gets the nutritious stew that was the melting pot and no one even gets the salad. All we are is a bunch of separate pieces of salad lying on the floor rotting.
If Trump can get loyal Americans to denounce and publicly ridicule politically correct thought, then he will have won a great victory.
California, here I come!
Hey Impy..........what’s in YOUR wallet?
The same could easily be said for many conservatives.
Very true, but I don’t ascribe any culture at all (don’t consider a piece of any salad) the “culture” of rape, theft, murder, etc. that is identical to lions on the Serengeti...
Even the gang member see's the problem..............

I would never insult lions by comparing them to California. It’s actually identical to most human cultures prior to the introduction of the Holy Spirit. Slavery, rape, theft, oppression, etc were the norm in those days, not the exception. Like Islam, California is a culture that worships the Natural Man, the utterly depraved person that is the core of all people who have no other voice that counsels them.
A piece of tape to hold it together and a 3 year old stick of gum. ;p
LOL!
