REPORT: California law supported by Dems leads to skyrocketing shoplifting, thefts, criminal activity across state
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by FOXNEWS.COM:
SAN FRANCISCO – In a lighted garage on one of San Francisco’s busiest streets, a young man in baggy trousers and messy brown hair pulled down his pants. He had been hiding two pairs of stolen jeans with the tags still on them. He handed them to another man waiting nearby, took some money, pulled up his pants and headed back into another store on Market Street — home to the city’s high-end designers and big-chain retail shops.
The incident wasn’t a one-off. These brazen acts of petty theft and shoplifting are a dangerous and all-too-common consequence of Proposition 47, a referendum passed five years ago that critics say effectively gives shoplifters and addicts the green light to commit crimes as long as the merchandise they steal or the drugs they take are less than $950 in value.
The article goes on to state the following:
Over in the City by the Bay’s famous Tenderloin district, Cassie, a 21-year-old mother of two and a former heroin junkie, told Fox News that when times were tough, she too has stolen from stores.
“If my babies need diapers or formula, who is going to get that for me? No one. I have to do it,” she said. “They ain’t out here arresting people for (shoplifting) and everyone knows it.”

It was heavily supported by the Democrat Party and the ACLU.
Twitter users are calling out Rep. Adam Schiff, telling him to focus on his own back yard instead of President Trump.
@RepAdamSchiff Take 10 seconds to forget about Pres Trump. Listen to you home state. “Proposition 47 is seen by critics as one of California’s biggest blunders. Supported by the state Democratic Party. https://t.co/tWnU485sZp
