Some Dems have gotten off the pro-crime train, but California Dems are still all-in on freeing criminals and protecting the worst possible monsters.
The Senate Appropriations Committee also killed two Republican tough-on-crime proposals, showing the limits of Democrats’ recent shift slightly rightward on crime. Until Friday, it had been surprisingly smooth sailing this year for Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones’ bill to block sex offenders from being released from prison through the state’s elderly parole program, and Sen. Kelly Seyarto’s bill to increase penalties for selling or giving fentanyl to minors.
While some elderly criminals cease to be dangerous, sex offenders are less likely to be in that category. Especially those who prey on children.
And what exactly is the argument for going easy on those giving fentanyl to minors?
The bill’s author, Sen. Seyarto, noted that fentanyl was involved in 80% of drug-induced deaths among 14- to 23-year-olds.
The nationwide rise is massive.
Researchers looked at over 3,000 incidents of nonfatal fentanyl exposure in children up to 19 years old that were reported to poison centers, and found a 1,194.2% increase between 2015 and 2023, according to the study published in the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse.
But there are no criminals that these people won’t protect.
They’re protecting Democrat voters, pandering to their base.
Drugs are much too powerful these days. Even in the 1960s they could wipe out your mind. Try to buy only from known sources. Even the mechanism of Tylenol was discovered this week to be the opposite of the previous theory. Personally I never liked Tylenol anyway 🙂
When I got appendicitis I told them I didn’t want any fentanyl. Well, it was a busy day and I had to wait a long time for surgery. Eventually they just put in an IV without asking. It helped with the pain but mostly just made me tired. It’s a boring drug, I thought how the heck can anyone get addicted to that?
