And downs,
this man is a criminal best
friend. It is not fair, please just
it is not fair. Please just
get this man out of here
not only joined the criminal
but engaging in crime in the
criminal enterprise. There is no
problem.
His name is George Gascon
Ainsley. That last speaker has
joined victims, pushing to remove
LAS Da George Gascon over
criminal justice reforms. The sheriff joins us now.
The sheriff joins us now.
Thank you for joining us.
What is your biggest issue of
having district attorney?
It is not reconcilable with
the need the victims of crime
totally in opposition.
It is all to the benefit of
criminal offenders.
Eliminating use of a firearm in
commission of a crime
eliminating multiple victims. Take the death penalty off the
take the death penalty off the
table
and state after state, not just
because of the crime itself,
will not hold a predator
accountable for the actions
Ainsley. Your officers are
trained in a certain way and you
have to retrain them all and
tell them what the new laws say.
We will keep doing what we
are doing and we will prevent
and investigate crime and go to
the district attorney and the
district attorney will issue
these rejections. They are not
going to file the charter and
also people on this side
fighting with police.
He raised the stakes and made or
threatening all the time.
How long has he been in that
position? December of two thousand and twenty two and a
December of two thousand and twenty two and a
half three months out
Ainsley. Let me review the stats
in LOS Angeles
homicide, comparing twenty million two hundred and twenty two thousand and twenty one up.
Eighteen aggravated assault, two hundred and sixty five
shootings up two hundred and sixty seven.
If you are raising a family in
that area, that is pretty scary.
What do you expect in the future?
With this guy in office Gascon
the year twenty twenty was a pandemic.
We saw thirty six percent increase in homicide,
the first two months of twenty twenty one we
have seen one hundred and seventy percent increase homicide
and the trends are going in the wrong direction and mister
wrong direction, and Mister
Gascon is trying to pushes
further and a bizarre idea that
locking people up and holding
them accountable for violent
crime somehow increases
recidivism and he keeps citing
science and data. When I say
there is no data that shows bad
things, Sean to the West Coast, it was
Sean to the West Coast, it was
very powerful and they felt he
was more pro criminal than the
victims themselves.
This is a statement. Releleased T
us
the minority victims, what the
maximum punishment imposed. In
their case,
these views are not shared by
majority of survivors. They
dont find healing by putting
another person in a cage.
Additionally, studies show
accepted sentencing processes
leading to more victims of crime,
which our system of justice
cant continue to rely on
policies that create more
victims tomorrow, because the
minority of victims, the maximum
punishment imposed in their case
today.
In your experience in law
enforcement do most victims.
Families say let them out soon.
We dont want them to be behind
bars.
That is utter nonsense.
The person who bankrolled George
Gascons race for district
attorney at the same time,
unseating african, american,
female and George Soros. The
research about injustice, very slick very well done
very slick. Very well done.
It is not peer reviewed. The victims are quite the
the victims are quite the
opposite:
Ainsley four dollars million in outside
money to run his campaign.
Good luck with the recall!
I know you have to get five hundred and eighty thousand
signatures, one hundred and sixty days to do that.
That is up to the victims.
