California Is Nothing Short of a Progressive Disaster
Story by Jennifer Galardi • Sunday

 
Earlier last week, the California Assembly Public Safety Committee denied passage of SB-14, a bill which had unanimous consent from the Senate that would increase the level of penalty for sex trafficking to be included as a strike under California’s “Three Strike” law.

Just days later, after swift and striking protest and outrage online, the Assembly took up the measure again in an emergency hearing, and on Thursday, passed the bi-partisan bill.

What is SB-14?
Human trafficking of a minor for purposes of sex for profit under current law incurs a sentence of up to 12 years in prison. If the crime involved force, fear, fraud, deceit, coercion, violence, duress, menace, or threat of unlawful injury to the victim or to another person, the sentence is 15 years to life. If the person is convicted of inflicting great bodily harm on the victim while trafficking them, a judge can add up to 10 years to a prison sentence.

If the child trafficking bill passes the full Assembly and Newsom signs it, people convicted of the crime would face longer prison terms and potential life sentences. Governor Newsom expressed his concern at the initial blocking of the bill, making it likely to receive his approval.

Jennifer Galardi, whoever she is, was ~3 days out of date in her Sunday article about this bill. The California Assembly Public Safety Committee, after several days of loud public protest and pressure from Dems as well as Rs and conservatives, voted again and passed the bill on to the full Assembly. https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article277288758.html . This was pointed out 4 days ago in the previous TBR thread about this bill, https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,505256.msg2867129.html#msg2867129 .

Hey you can't let a simple thing like facts get in the way of a good California bashing, as if it were the only state with socialists forcing stupid decisions on their residents.
