California crime spike fuels movement to recall progressive district attorneys
Yes, it's only anecdotal, but my son-in-law is currently overseeing a construction job in California, and in broad daylight, some thieves broke into the onsite job box and began stealing tools.
My son-in-law went out to confront them, but several of the thugs brandish crowbars and shovels in a threatening manner, so he went back inside to call police.
When police arrived, the job box was completely empty, and the police told him they'd take a report, but "don't count on anything being done".
When they found out he was from Texas, they admitted "yeah, this would never happen there".
As soon as the police left, the thugs were back breaking into the foreman's pickup truck job box to steal tools from it.
MAYBE this is a step in the right direction....

Several California counties have recalled or are trying to recall their progressive district attorneys as community leaders say they are fed up with violent crime.
In Alameda County, home to the cities of Oakland and Berkley, the group Save Alameda For Everybody, known as SAFE, has received over 70,000 signatures to recall Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price in what is the county's first-ever recall effort, CBS News reported Monday.
SAFE says it needs 73,195 valid signatures from county voters for the recall effort to get on the ballot.
The effort comes after San Francisco voters successfully recalled now-former District Attorney Chesa Boudin last year in a 55% to 45% vote.
