San Francisco Thieves Lead to Fewer Stores in Minority Neighborhoods

The reason: In 2014, California passed Proposition 47 as a ballot initiative. Its effect was to render thefts of under $950 in property misdemeanors rather than felonies. Thieves, both of the lone wolf and pack varieties, have been emboldened, as the policy change makes it far less likely that they are stopped in the act, and far less painful to get caught later. Lt. Tracy McCray of the San Francisco Police Department told the Washington Examiner that criminals are often cited instead of arrested, and that it is common for charges to be dropped if the culprit doesn’t show on his or her appointed court date.

Thank you my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown for posting the Salem Radio News Daybreak Insider [that I also receive each weekday] extract focused on the unsurprising news that California passed Proposition 47 as a ballot initiative in 2014. Its effect was to render thefts of under $950 in property misdemeanors rather than felonies. In San Francisco thieves, both of the lone wolf and pack varieties, have been emboldened, as the policy change makes it far less likely that they are stopped in the act, and far less painful to get caught later. San Francisco now has fewer stores in minority neighborhoods.
