This is the crap that makes california stink. After 30+ years, I moved my wife and kids out of SF Bay Area, and I was telling my wife exactly this morning, how surreal of a feeling it is to not think about crime in a new england state. When I would drive around the bay area, I would think about the most recent freeway shooting, or the increase in home invasions in the affluent east bay suburbs, etc. After living in the north east for 6 months, it's such a liberating feeling not watching you back all the time because of crack-pot DAs that allow criminals to loot & kill and not get prosecuted (Pamela Price). I couldn't care less for the op-ed above, and california needs to stop being so liberal, it's ridiculous.
