Women Want Safety Shut Down Democrats in California!

We need to stop sidelining the needs of white women, especially when safety is a top concern for Californians across all party lines. Feeling safe and secure means we should be free to walk the streets of Los Angeles without the fear of being mugged, assaulted, spat on, or—worse yet—having urine or feces thrown at us, whether because of the color of our skin or simply because we appear vulnerable or like easy prey. In this image, 92% of the white women are front and center because they don’t feel safe and are demanding more action to combat crime in Los Angeles, or as some call it, "Gotham LA." A day of reckoning is upon us, and we must seize this moment to address the root issues in our city. We need to start saying no to certain things and stop making it easy for people to continue down a destructive path. The solution isn’t to tolerate some level of crime just to save taxpayer money. People in California subscribe to Netflix, YouTube Premium, iTunes, and Spotify; I’m confident we’d be willing to spend an extra $20 a month in taxes to support a tougher stance on crime. It's time to take real action. Why It Won Despite Opposition Prop 36 won by a large margin, with around 67% voter approval, despite vocal opposition from many progressive groups and even some district attorneys. The measure’s popularity can be attributed to heightened public frustration over visible increases in retail theft and drug-related crimes, which many voters blamed on lenient policies from recent reforms. High-profile incidents of shoplifting and the ongoing fentanyl crisis galvanized a broad swath of the electorate, including both conservative and moderate voters, who favored tougher approaches to crime​. This result reflects a significant shift in public sentiment towards more stringent law enforcement, influenced by rising fears about crime and homelessness, even in traditionally liberal areas like the Bay Area and Los Angeles​ Cons of Prop 36 Backtracking on Reform: Critics argued it undermined the progress of criminal justice reform aimed at reducing incarceration rates. Opponents saw it as a return to the failed policies of the "war on drugs," which historically led to overcrowded prisons without effectively reducing crime. Increased Costs: Implementing harsher sentences was projected to increase state and local criminal justice costs significantly, diverting funds from community-based treatment and prevention programs. Disproportionate Impact: There was concern that the law would disproportionately affect marginalized communities, exacerbating racial and economic inequalities in the justice system Proposition 36 in the 2024 California election focused on increasing penalties for certain drug and theft crimes, partly reversing aspects of past reforms like Prop 47 (2014), which had reduced many nonviolent offenses to misdemeanors. Here’s a look at its pros, cons, and why it passed with such strong support. Pros of Prop 36 Tougher Penalties: The measure aimed to address rising crime, particularly retail thefts (e.g., smash-and-grab robberies) and drug offenses involving fentanyl. By reclassifying certain offenses as felonies, it intended to deter repeat offenders. Targeting Fentanyl Dealers: Prop 36 included stricter penalties for those dealing fentanyl, a response to the ongoing opioid crisis, which has led to increasing overdoses and public concern. Judicial Flexibility: It provided judges with the option to order treatment programs instead of solely imposing prison sentences, particularly for individuals with substance abuse issues, balancing punitive measures with rehabilitation truth is my man sick and tired of having her things stolen my neighbor across the street wakes up at 4:00 a.m. comes home about 6:00 p.m. cleaning his truck out washing it for the next day only to wake up at 4:00 a.m. again to do it all over while sleeping with one eye open for his tools not to get stolen you ever have to worry about your tools getting stolen work equipment that weighs hundreds of pounds that lives in your car but you have to all it up into your apartment because it's been stolen before and you're left without work for weeks or days look at this picture everyone talks about women's rights look at what these women want they want safety they're demanding a safe neighborhood and this is bad somehow what's wrong with this I mean let's let's analyze this picture let's look 11 women that I can count and I think that's a man so overwhelmingly women were telling you yes on 36 but you don't we don't care about women anymore more right let's not keep them safe or anything while they're walking down the street let's not have them feel safe our kids don't https://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/propositions/36/index.htm https://www.latimes.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/story/2024-10-18/prop-36-campaign-just-showed-its-true-republican-colors Supporters of Proposition 36 rally in Venice on Sept. 30.
