California Legalized Theft. Everyone’s Packages Were Stolen.

Porch piracy is what happens when stealing isn’t against the law.

Sat Jul 10, 2021 Daniel Greenfield

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

California legalized theft with Proposition 47. Since then pharmacies and small businesses have been forced to shut down by a wave of shoplifters with nothing to fear from the law.

But it’s not just stores that are reeling from the crime wave unleashed by criminal justice reform.

Proposition 47 was passed in 2014. LAPD crime data shows that package thefts shot up from 500 to 700 between 2014 to 2015. By 2016, they rose to 1,000, and 1,200 in 2017.

In Sawtelle, home to Little Tokyo and a historic Japanese neighborhood, package theft went from practically zero to a record high in only a few years after Democrats legalized stealing.

Legalizing theft didn’t just hit stores, but led to an epidemic of ‘porch piracy’.

This is stupidly false! Has FrontPageMag gone full clickbait?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

They are not the only one thinking that way.

Opinion: It’s Time for Californians to Recognize that Prop. 47 Criminal Justice Reform Failed https://timesofsandiego.com/opinion/2021/06/16/its-time-for-californians-to-recognize-that-prop-47-criminal-justice-reform-failed/

...This proposition, approved by voters in 2014, makes it almost impossible to incarcerate shoplifters and thieves. Proposition 47 it is a failed experiment in criminal justice reform that needs to be changed so we can put a stop to property crime....

...Proposition 47 largely decriminalized theft and drug crimes by reducing those crimes and a number of other “non-violent” felonies to misdemeanors...

Sigh ... Prop 47, which I voted against, raised the threshold for a theft to be a felony to $950. A shoplifter stealing a $2.98 bottle of ibuprofen can still be arrested, can still be prosecuted, and can still be found guilty and sentenced for a misdemeanor. Unfortunately, there are at least a couple of major counties whose DA will not prosecute shoplifting, and cities whose police consequently do put effort into capturing and detaining shoplifters.

As stupid as Prop 47 was, California did not legalize theft. At all. And as much as I'd like to see Prop 47 effectively repealed, that would do nothing for the problem of prosecutors who will not enforce laws.
