True or not, the only reason they're allowed to vote is because it benefits the Democrats. If it didn't benefit the democrats, they couldn't vote, and Democrats would be in lockstep saying how irresponsible and dangerous it would be to give felons the vote.
Same reason kamala harris is on video saying college aged students make terrible decisions while at other times saying even younger kids should get to vote.
100% agree, but Newsom is using these people for political advantage just to save his job, instead of actually improving their situation like fast expungement/sealing.
That's the reform that all States (and Feds) need to implement, because with a criminal record following you, that's the real lifetime punishment.
Don't disagree, but that needs to be in the state constitution - but it's not. He will have full powers until the recall election in the fall. And yes, he's going to burn it all down to appease auntie Nancy like a toddler throwing a tantrum on the way out.
Well not necessarily. There are still checks and balances even on a state level. Newsom is just the executive branch. The legislative and judicial branches still can override a decision by the Governor, as they have done so in the past.
Traitors of all persuasion (guvners included) should be shot.
Period.
Free Americans need to end this cuckoldry to the ruling class who should be working for free Americans.
Setting violent criminals back free onto the street in order to protect them from other violent criminals in jail? Who the fuck is paying the bills in this country?
He did it because felons who are not incarcerated can vote in CA, meaning he's letting these guys out so he can get their votes again because he knows he is so unpopular now that he would not be reelected without some help.
In case you didn't think the democrats weren't pro-crime, here you go. Fuck the citizens, muh precious convict murderers and rapists don't feel safe in prison.
We can make it a contest. Felon Lawn Jarts. Tie a small drogue chute to their feet to insure they come in head first. Take turns directing the pilot for aim then push. A couple thousand feet will be high enough and would be safer for the audience. Closest to the bullseye wins. Contestants bid for the prisoner they want. Proceeds go to the victims or charity.
Y'all have some real fucked up optics on this. We are all gonna be felons in the next decade, just wait until they retroactively prosecute hate speech on the internet or some insane shit.
Its easier to become a felon than you dumbasses think
You've not been paying attention, have you? He wasn't elected. California hasn't been a blue state for a long time. 2020 wasn't the first rigged election, it was the loudest.
If i was a dictator, id have an island where the violent prisoners would never leave, and simply fight for the rest of their short lives...not release them into the peaceful towns and neighborhoods..seriously wtf is wrong with california
Maduro did the same thing when he started the violent overthrow. Released violent criminals, armed them, and boom. He has his own army. Look up el colectivos
Page looked like it vanished, but here's their national prison director accusing him.
Humberto Prado, director of the Venezuelan Prison Observatory (Observatorio Venezolano de Prisiones – OVP), accused the Maduro government of releasing prison inmates to fill the colectivos’ ranks in their repression efforts..
Also, read these 2 articles about their history. They're violent communist gangs who were allowed to riot, attack, and destroy with impunity, while any opposition was cracked down on. Then Maduro purged the police. Now, colectivos are pretty much a govt sanctioned mafia/ security force.
"Of those who are set to be released, nearly 20,000 are serving life sentences. Another 10,000 inmates were convicted for serious nonviolent offenses who have served half of their initial sentence."
How does a governor have the power to release violent felons serving life sentences in these kind of numbers?
Does being elected governor mean you can bypass the courts and make your own law? Why couldn't Trump do anything without the courts stepping in to stop him if scumbag newsome can override the courts whenever he wants???
I sure hope that none of the 63,000 felons show up at his home or where his family go for school, shopping, etc, cause it would be a shame if something terrible happened to them at the hands of these 63,000 felons.
We don’t lock enough people up. Shit like this happened in Texas in the 80s and the 90s until Kenneth Mcduff, the serial killer and former death row inmate killed a bunch of people. After that we built more prisons.
Governors (or any politician) should be barred from making any decisions after a recall has been done.
He's going to cause havoc on his way out. Legislators need to step in and stop him from doing anything more stupid.
Don't forget that felons in California can vote if they're not incarcerated.
Wtf. The only reason I don't do felonious things is so that I can keep voting.
Well, go to California and you can do whatever and still get out
No no they dont release you for wrongthink
It's not a crime to knowingly spread AIDS though.
No shit. To many fans for me
Thats why theyre freeing up the prison space. 😶👈
The only reason I keep a featureless grip on my AR is so I can vote :))
Lmao this guy complies?
Gotta vote for Trump in 2024. So, yes i comply
Lucy going to hold the ball for Charlie Brown to kick fr this time?
Your vote didn't matter and you didn't use your AR. You're an internet tough guy, nothing else.
Nowhere does it say I am a "though guy". Owning an AR doesn't make a person a tough guy.
Tells me more abt u.
Reflecting ur incompetence onto other, are we? 😂😂🤣🤣
Username checks out
😂😂🤣🤣
Well then don’t you feel stupid fren? 😁
Daily reminder that George Floyd’s brother is named Phelonise Floyd
Whoa is this true?
Yes sir

Seriously. Literally the only reason.
So did he just “find” 63,000 votes for the recall by releasing these felons?
Yes, but he lost around 40,000 as the murder rate skyrockets.
You forget, Gavin does very well with the dead vote.
Oh hell, this plan has a multiplicative effect.
Yes, they are rather clever in their schemes.
Synergy!
Sounds like it to me. Hahahaha
This country is a laughing stock.
If they’ve done their time and completed parole or probation they should be allowed to vote. We don’t need to keep punishing people for a lifetime.
True or not, the only reason they're allowed to vote is because it benefits the Democrats. If it didn't benefit the democrats, they couldn't vote, and Democrats would be in lockstep saying how irresponsible and dangerous it would be to give felons the vote.
Same reason kamala harris is on video saying college aged students make terrible decisions while at other times saying even younger kids should get to vote.

That's the reform that all States (and Feds) need to implement, because with a criminal record following you, that's the real lifetime punishment.
Nonviolent felons I'd agree.
Don't hand it out to them, make them earn it by doing community service work of some sort.
In fact, the right to vote should be earned, not given, but slezebags in power will never allow that.
Don't disagree, but that needs to be in the state constitution - but it's not. He will have full powers until the recall election in the fall. And yes, he's going to burn it all down to appease auntie Nancy like a toddler throwing a tantrum on the way out.
Well not necessarily. There are still checks and balances even on a state level. Newsom is just the executive branch. The legislative and judicial branches still can override a decision by the Governor, as they have done so in the past.
But that's less likely if most of them are on the same team, which they are because it's California.
Checks and balances in a supermajority state?
The consensus opinion here on the ground is that the recall has already gotten him to lighten up on the Covid restrictions.
I think has more to do with the ongoing demoralization of society efforts than any spite.
Exactly this is purely a way to drum up crime numbers and then raise taxes or create a new government bureaucracy to deal with it.
Yup, I've had similar thoughts.
Step 1: Manufacture a crisis.
Step 2: Propose outlandish solution that entails more gov't power.
Step 3: Get the politicians and media to sell it to the public.
Step 4: Poll test and focus group test it. Gotta make sure not to trigger a revolution too soon.
Step 5: Profit.
And punish the peasants
"eliminate" him???
Surprise Lead Vaccine?
WELL SAID!
The legislature in California is just as corrupt and nuts as him. I love here i know
They're all mostly liberal so <shrug> its not too bad up here in the North but I'm sure it's going to get a whole lot worse like with AB 109
Traitors of all persuasion (guvners included) should be shot.
Period.
Free Americans need to end this cuckoldry to the ruling class who should be working for free Americans.
Setting violent criminals back free onto the street in order to protect them from other violent criminals in jail? Who the fuck is paying the bills in this country?
This tyranny has gone waaaaay too far.
Absolute peak clown world headline right there. Retarded as fuck of a decision
its a deliberate decision because he's gonna get voted out after california had enough votes to recall him.
just a democrat piece of shit.
You know, that's a very good point. This is like his one last dying breath as a middle finger to all of California
His entire term has been a giant middle finger.
Yes
then the media propaganda machine and big tech will circulate a "crime rates skyrocket after Newsom recall" narrative
and higher covid-19 numbers.
He did it because felons who are not incarcerated can vote in CA, meaning he's letting these guys out so he can get their votes again because he knows he is so unpopular now that he would not be reelected without some help.
I hate newsom
I am now dead sure that America will not reach peak clown world until the first tyrant is capped.
So, keep an open mind to the newest ridiculous extreme policy enacted by these elected idiots who do not fear the people.
In case you didn't think the democrats weren't pro-crime, here you go. Fuck the citizens, muh precious convict murderers and rapists don't feel safe in prison.
They're making safe spaces for their political enemies.
"See they aren't prisons; there are no criminals around. These conservatives are just in isolation camps until we can track down the terrorist leader"
The idea has promise, it's the execution that's the problem.
We can make it a contest. Felon Lawn Jarts. Tie a small drogue chute to their feet to insure they come in head first. Take turns directing the pilot for aim then push. A couple thousand feet will be high enough and would be safer for the audience. Closest to the bullseye wins. Contestants bid for the prisoner they want. Proceeds go to the victims or charity.
Y'all have some real fucked up optics on this. We are all gonna be felons in the next decade, just wait until they retroactively prosecute hate speech on the internet or some insane shit.
Its easier to become a felon than you dumbasses think
No such thing has hate speech, only speech that's hated.
LOL if you think they'll take us alive.
Make it 3000 miles and you've got a deal
The second option creates street-cleaning jobs. We can’t afford not to do it.
He's retaliating against the people of California over the recall. Snot nosed brat with the power of a state governor.
Fuck em. Maybe they’ll stop electing pieces of shit like him.
You've not been paying attention, have you? He wasn't elected. California hasn't been a blue state for a long time. 2020 wasn't the first rigged election, it was the loudest.
California is filled with liberal twats that vote blue regardless of the candidate. The souther half of that state dictates everything.
I hate my state.
I'm looking to leave.
This is why they’re winning though, bleeding too much red. People need to take that state back, don’t give up.
Theres also the most taxed state in the nation thing too, among a few others.
If i was a dictator, id have an island where the violent prisoners would never leave, and simply fight for the rest of their short lives...not release them into the peaceful towns and neighborhoods..seriously wtf is wrong with california
And make a reality TV show out of it. "Liberal Island". Charge to watch and make your money back real quick.
Um, our little Alcatraz and all of Australia. Alcatraz was too close to land. Australia was big enough to be self supporting.
What ever happened to three strikes?
Execution needs to make a big come back. Both for the extremely violent felons and for hundreds of traitors convicted of fraud.
You could call the island "Australia."
Snake Pliskin has entered the chat
Unless an innocent person gets sent to the island, like in No Escape
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Escape_(1994_film)
Someone put that guy on a shovel head and stick him through an F250 grille, and parade him around town
California is the prison??? Always has been.

Scorched earth tactics before the recall.
Exactly. Get that fucker out of there NOW.
Maduro did the same thing when he started the violent overthrow. Released violent criminals, armed them, and boom. He has his own army. Look up el colectivos
Got some sauce?
This is what I found

Is he out yet?
If you wanted to be safe, you shouldn't have committed a crime that would put you in prison...
This is the second round I heard of.
He did this at the beginning of the lockdowns too. LA also stopped arresting criminals for a while to help keep the prisons empty.
Lol what a dumb state
You do realize there are a hell of a lot of conservatives in California, right? They've had their state stolen from them.
Conservatives always lose.
yeah people say that but you never see it.
It's not dumb, it's intentional.
Newsom is about the only cunt in years I've seen talking and thought actually looked innately evil.
Dude stood in front of a burned up forest and laughed about it. Total psychopath.
Yeah, let's fuck society to make safer prisons...
Ammo mail order ban and required background checks and permits to buy is enough for me!
You would wait until one murders your child?
"Of those who are set to be released, nearly 20,000 are serving life sentences. Another 10,000 inmates were convicted for serious nonviolent offenses who have served half of their initial sentence."
How does a governor have the power to release violent felons serving life sentences in these kind of numbers?

Fucking moron.
What.
The.
Fuck.
WTF what a terrible timeline. LOL be strong patriots it'll all end one day, hopefully with grassy pastures rather than gulags.
ha...ha...ha....How's it goin' CALIPHONYA?....Have fun...yuk...yuk...yuk
Anything is better than having a tranny mayor. Can’t believe some people on here are supporting that shit
Or a tranny governor
Yeah that’s what I meant lol. Thanks for that.
"BUCKLE UP, BUCKAROOS!!!!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J4143zj3ps
Those folks should be his families security people. Let the real cops protect those who deserve it.
That makes him an accessory to all the crimes they commit.
Defunded police + more criminals. California is going to be a war zone!
This is why:
https://www.dillonprecision.com/
Good.
This POS wants to destroy Cali as payback. Should have thought of that before he sold his soul. Maybe the Devil has come to collect. He always does.
I like how California is simultaneously Idiocracy and Demolition Man.
Safer prisons, folks. So let's endanger the population instead.
Newsom needs to be hung for treason. We the people need to destroy the tyrannical government oh and here's something else
FUCK YOU FBI, FUCKING TRAITORS
If only Colorado did the same.
May fools?
Defund the police, release violent felons and flood the state with peasants from South America - sounds like a crazy movie plot, involving Joker.
There is a reason we call it clown world...
When you need to buy votes but have already given all of the money to illegal immigrants
Heaven forbid something bad happens to commifornia
California is closing three major prisons.
what the fuck is wrong with democrats
This isn't a satire headline? It is perfect satire.
63K votes for Newsom!
Why not release blm into Canada, Mexico, or the Pacific Ocean to create "safer shitholes"?
Guys.
The Bee is reporting the news because reality is becoming satire, wtfffffff lol
St Louis -with new Dem mayor, Soros funded DA, & BLM US Congresswoman rattling the cages in STL. This is the Dem platform - coming across country.
I sure hope that none of the 63,000 felons show up at his home or where his family go for school, shopping, etc, cause it would be a shame if something terrible happened to them at the hands of these 63,000 felons.
Better to have safer prisions than streets guys
They will do anything. Sad 😞
We don’t lock enough people up. Shit like this happened in Texas in the 80s and the 90s until Kenneth Mcduff, the serial killer and former death row inmate killed a bunch of people. After that we built more prisons.
