CALIFORNIA ‘ZERO CASH BAIL’: 70% of offenders released on ‘zero bail’ have this in common

Tue, 01/03/2023 - 11:20

What do they have in common?  They committed more crimes before their trial.

From FoxNews:

A California district attorney has found that more than 70% of criminal suspects released on $0 bail between 2020 and 2021 in his county committed new crimes.

The California Judicial Council in April 2020 implemented the statewide Emergency Bail Schedule, or $0 bail, which supporters say makes the criminal justice system more fair for those who cannot afford to get released.

“When over 70% of the people released under mandated $0 bail policies go on to commit additional crime(s), including violent offenses such as robbery and murder, there is simply no rational public safety-related basis to continue such a practice post-pandemic, especially in light of the increasing violent crime rates across California,” Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig said in a Monday statement.

Folks, this isn’t rocket science. 

But it might as well be for supporters of zero cash bail here in Illinois.  Those politicians have compassion for violent criminals and contempt for law-abiding gun owners.

DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS – WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA: Volunteer opportunities this Saturday, Dec. 17 at Camp Butler in Springfield

Thu, 12/15/2022 - 23:01

This Saturday morning, starting at about 10:30a.m. or so, volunteers will get to work at the Camp Butler National Cemetery in Springfield to place about 25,000 wreaths on the headstones of graves there as part of Wreaths Across America.

Pastor Steve Holden is among the organizers of the event and he invited our GSL family (and other patriotic Americans) to join him Saturday to help recognize America’s veterans.

Not familiar with this awesome program?  We gotcha covered.  You might want to have a tissue or two handy.  It can become kind of dusty.

Go VOTE! RFN.

OFFICER DOWN: Going ‘fetal’ nearly leads to dead Chicago cop

Thu, 10/06/2022 - 23:34

Chicago Police have zero support from the mayor and city council.  The cops there are paralyzed with fear of using force to enforce the law.

Because of this, things like this happen.  A police officer was nearly run over.  By his own squad car.

Fair warning, video NOT safe for work.

Meanwhile, in Chicago… pic.twitter.com/zSXotN0P1T

GSL Decatur Meeting Wed. Eve Cancelled; Peoria on for Thursday evening

Tue, 01/05/2021 - 20:10

We regret that both our primary and secondary locations for the Decatur GSL meeting have both fallen unavailable.

Coz’s Pizza is very optimistic that they will be open for our February meeting – assuming Joe Biden doesn’t pull some national lockdown bravo sierra upon taking office.

In better news, our Peoria GSL meeting is set to take place Thursday evening.  It will take place in nearby Metamora.  If you need the address, call or (better yet) text John at 217 649-3702.

Next week’s meetings in Rantoul and Charleston are both all-green for taking place. 

We apologize for the short notice.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg DEAD.

Fri, 09/18/2020 - 19:07

Say hello to Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

In the meantime, break out the popcorn as America’s gun grabbers and leftists lose their pooh.

Fri, 01/27/2017 - 20:39

Clay Higgins retired from law enforcement in Lousiana last year to run for Congress.  Guess what?  He won.

He rose to fame nationally with a bunch of tough-talking, viral CrimeStoppers videos.  He talks about his life as a cop and the false narrative of Black Lives Matter.

GERMANY: Afghan “migrant” rapes, murders a top EU official’s daughter

Mon, 12/05/2016 - 10:00

Meet María Ladenburger, 19, a medical student daughter of a top EU official.  She spent her spare time volunteering at a "refugee center" in Germany.  That worked out well for her as she got raped and murdered by a 17-year-old Afghan.

Angela Merkel is the last of the globalist European leaders who along with Barack Obama have taken the world to a far more dangerous place.  How long will Merkel and her policy allowing for the invasion of Germany by illiterate, foreign military-age males continue?

 

 

BOOM BOOM: Watch a suicide truck bomber turn into a flying Jihadi

Thu, 11/17/2016 - 19:42

Even if you don't understand what the men in the video are saying, you can hear the tension in their voices.  It's all because of a weak-minded, social misfit suicide truck bomb has mashed his accelerator to the floor, barrelling down on their position.  He's intent on doing something besides delivering a truckload of Girl Scout cookies or sausage pizzas.  No, he's got a big old can of whoopass he's trying to deliver.

We will issue a spoiler alert right here:

Mr. Suicide Bomber gets to meet Jesus a little sooner than he had hoped.
