California’s Legal System Has its Priorities Wrong
According to the FBI, in 2008, almost 60,000 violent crimes went unsolved in California. That same year, over 61,000 Californians were arrested for misdemeanor cannabis possession.
What is wrong with these numbers?
According to the State of California, nothing.
If the police
If the police
The State of California is in the middle of a budget crisis. By following the advice of the Federal Reserve Board and other economists that Barack Hussein Obama trusts with the economy of the United States, the State of California is spending more than it collects in fees, taxes, permits, contributions, confiscations, ... Unlike the federal government, the State of California is unable to print more money. So the State of California needs some other way to balance the budget. So by ignoring violent crime in favor of non-violent drug crime, the State of California may be able to save a few million dollars. If you are a politician it is very easy to justify criminalizing a large portion of the population and endangering the rest of the population (by not investigating violent crime or letting prisoners go free early) in order to save a few million dollars (when you are billions short).
