Who is George Gascon, LA’s newly-elected DA? — 13 Comments

  1. The funding by Soros of numerous insanely radical DAs across the country is a matter of the greatest importance, but all too seldom discussed. The standard answer from the GOP establishment (and, of course, from libertarians) is that the free market is somehow sacrosanct, and that lobbying and political funding should always be protected as forms of free speech, but the concentration of power by the oligarchs of Big Tech and the ability of leftist billionaires (by no means only Soros) to ensure victory for highly ideological elected officials should be seen as, without question, a dire threat to the future of this moribund republic.

  2. Chesa Boudin replaced Gascon as SF DA, which is a win for Soros, Chesa’s parents, and Chesa’s foster parents (Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn). Yes, it is surprising that a Cuban refugee turns lefty.

  3. Again, he had ample opposition from a satisfactory opponent. It’s puzzling that the joys of vandalism are now incorporated into voter behavior in important locales. Bill diBlasio, Kim Foxx, Kim Gardner, Ilhan Omar, Chesa Boudin, and this tool are the beneficiaries. It’s for this reason I’m a tentative advocate of partition. I do not recognize any kinship with people who think this way.

  4. Lancaster County is the second or third most populous in Nebraska. The Dem who is running for County Attorney is a term-limited State Senator who has never tried a case. DDB points that out on Twitter. In the words of a liberal UNL professor, I am “endlessly horrible.” And proud of it!

  5. It is noteworthy that Gascon worked directly under Bill Bratton at the LAPD. Bratton is best known for his work at the NYPD and was something of a father for the broken windows policy, but he had also made a great name for himself previously as a Boston PD commissioner. Possibly as an LAPD chief Bratton hadn’t matured terribly well that late in his career.

  6. A proper prerequisite in order to be considered for the job is to be able to demonstrate that one has been employed as a local prosecutor for at least four years during one’s time at the bar, with time employed in a U.S. Attorney’s office or in a state attorney-general’s office perhaps substituting if the office in question had delineated segments devoted to criminal from civil prosecutions and you were assigned to the former.

    It would be agreeable if we had more populous multi-county jurisdictions for district attorneys and made use of competitive election only consequent to a local-option referendum. Some other method – e.g. selection by a convocation of county legislators, followed by retention-in-office referenda every four years – seems more in keeping with the skill set you might want your district attorney to cultivate.

    Sounds like he wants revenge on the guy by pissing on the man’s achievements.

  8. The Dem who is running for County Attorney is a term-limited State Senator who has never tried a case.

    If you had fewer elected offices, you’d reduce the frequency of this sort of musical chairs maneuver. For example, reduce the number of state executives chosen by popular election from six to one. Have the chief of your audit-and-control inspectorates chosen by a vote of the legislature from lists submitted by parastatal guilds (accountants, actuaries, engineers, &c). Have the attorney-general appointed by the governor with advice-and-consent or elected by the legislature for a grace period – and then subject to retention-in-office referenda every four years. Have appointed Lt. Governors who supervise portfolios of state agencies.

  9. Art Deco: “I do not recognize any kinship with people who think this way.”
    The same for me. It’s as if a mass psychosis has struck the country. I understand that it has been building for some time, but it has become quite open and clear that there are people in this country who:
    1. No longer believe in personal responsibility.
    2. Believe the country is systemically racist.
    3. Consider riots that destroy private property and mass looting as peaceful protest.
    4. Have abandoned all thought of enforcing laws against vagrancy, public drug use, urinating/defecating on public streets, public nuisances, and building code violations.
    5. Seem to believe less law enforcement will lead to less crime.

    Or, are the leaders of this thought process people who are following the Cloward-Piven strategy to overwhelm the system and destroy it? Are those who keep voting for them just useful idiots?

    None of this irrational behavior or belief system by such as Gascon, De Blasio, Foxx, Boudin, etal makes sense when viewed as part of a society that has done rather well by valuing law and order. Their motive must be the destruction of our system.

  10. Until our so-called “elites“ feel any pain, pressure, or consequences in their lives, they will continue to push radical people and policies. To them, it’s all feel-good window dressing, while others deal with the messes they create.

    Look at the Biden’s, they have the money and power to shield and protect Hunter from his degenerate lifestyle. All of the degenerate things are pushed by the elites, which they’re shielded from. The lower classes buy in, but do not have the money or the power to escape or protect them from the consequences.

    I guess the only positive thing is, is when the generational wealth runs low or out, many of their grandchildren or great grandchildren start to suffer the consequences.

  11. More and more and more evidence every day that assures my wisdom fleeing the Peoples Batshit Left Crazy Republic in 2006. Central Florida (Winter Park) has no mountains, but there’s little danger for being a rock ribbed conservative.

  12. The LA DA before Gascon was a black woman whose husband chased BLM radicals away from their front porch during a “demonstration” by holding a hand gun and telling them to “Get off my porch.” That was probably enough to elect him.
