California Democrat introduces a bill that would require judges to factor race when it comes to sentencing
A Democrat bill argues that judges should consider the race of the individual, including the historical treatment of certain racial groups, prior to sentencing. Supporters for this bill argue that these individuals were disadvantaged and suggest that this contributed to the actions for which these individuals are now facing the judge. These politicians are trying to tie historical treatment to criminal acts. This bill appears to be a spin-off from recommendations provided by California’s Reparations Task Force.
From Fox News:
Assembly Member Reggie Jones-Sawyer, the Democratic chair of the California Assembly’s Public Safety Committee, quietly introduced Bill 852 in February. The Assembly went on to pass the little-known legislation in May, and the measure is currently being considered in the state Senate.
The bill would add a section to the Penal Code of California requiring courts, whenever they have the authority to determine a prison sentence, to “rectify” alleged racial bias in the criminal justice system by taking into account how historically persecuted minorities are affected differently than others.
“It is the intent of the Legislature to rectify the racial bias that has historically permeated our criminal justice system as documented by the California Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans,” the proposed new section to the Penal Code reads. “Whenever the court has discretion to determine the appropriate sentence according to relevant statutes and the sentencing rules of the Judicial Council, the court presiding over a criminal matter shall consider the disparate impact on historically disenfranchised and system-impacted populations.”
Fox News has the balance of the story here.

Hey, it’s not racist when Democrats do it!
The Democrats have been screwing black folks since they brought them over in chains.
They are the party of slavery, the Confederacy, The Klan, Segregation, Jim Crow, and they run public education.
The reason many individuals turn to crime is lack of options.
The lack of options is due to insufficient education.
The lack of an education is a result of failing public schools.
Which political party runs the public schools? The Teachers Union Party.
The Teachers Union Party RUNS the Democrats.
So, this bill introduced by Democrats to cover for their failed policies in a state run entirely by the Democratic Party.
Tell me more about this “white privilege” thing.
I wanna turn in my “White Privilege” card. Not doing me any good, and costs more then its worth.
Well?
😉😎
Well?
Well?
Remember Rachel Dolezal?
If she lives in California, can that bill be applied to her?
After all, there ARE Dudes out there that self identify as being a Woman…
Yes, the question is do people who identify as Black get the brown skin discount on their sentences.
Better yet, what if you are 1/4 black.
How does that factor in?
One-drop rule should apply here. Don’t want to miss anyone.
By that standard we’re all Cherokee, too. Win-win.
Mom’s Texas family calimed a blood relation to Quanah Parker, so I’m going with Comanche. Proof? Nothing but very old family photos that indicate a very high probability of native American DNA. Other than that, I got no more proof than Lizzie Warren does. Big difference is that I’ve never tried to use it for personal gain. Although, D’s Cantina could sure use an infusion of casino money.
Start with a roulette table and comped beers, I won’t tell if you don’t.
Not a bad idea. First expansion could be blackjack and poker.
“…disparate impact on historically disenfranchised and system-impacted populations…”
Oh, really?
Now do gun owners!
‘Shall not’ means shall not.
Well?
🤔
“In December 2021, Smollett was convicted of five felony counts of disorderly conduct; he was sentenced in March 2022 to 150 days in county jail. He has since been released on bond while his case is on appeal.”
Well?
See, two-tiered justice systems are beneficial because the plebs are too stupid to understand what justice looks like. If everyone where judges than why should a judge get a 6-figure salary for judgmentateing?
This circular logic brought to you by Statism! Only if the rulers admit to being wrong is a wrong actually committed!
😉😎
Still funny as hell!
It NEVER gets old….😂😆😅😂😆😅😂😆😅😂😆😅
Lawton, OK (the model for Rock Ridge) really is like:
I’m good with it, IF, 1) it only applies to misdemeanors, and 2) any subsequent crimes become an automatic felony with mandated minimum sentencing guidelines under a “one strike” policy because if you didn’t learn from your special first reduced sentence then Mr Lawman‘s got something special for you next time!
Reggie Jones Sawyer was born in 1957.
His family members were early pioneers in the civil rights movement.
His Uncle was Jefferson Thomas, who was part of the Little Rock Nine in Arkansas. In 1956, they were the first black students who attended classes at Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Surely he remembers MLK Jr speech in August 1963, correct?
Or are we missing something?
That’s “racist” now, comrade! An evil Republican said it!
😅😆🙄👏👏👏👍👍👌👌
Another one of Reggie Jones Sawyer’s ideas. He is one one of the California lawmakers who killed this bill:
“As Fentanyl Deaths Surge In California, Lawmakers Kill Bills That Would Punish Dealers”
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-03-29/fentanyl-deaths-california-legislature-bills-opioids-overdose-crisis-addiction
“As thousands of Californians die each year from drug overdoses fueled by fentanyl, a bitter fight has emerged in Sacramento over how lawmakers can hold dealers accountable without refilling state prisons and waging another “war on drugs.”
“On one side of the debate are Republicans and moderate Democrats calling for stronger criminal penalties for dealers who sell the deadly drug, which is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and contributed to nearly 6,000 overdose deaths in California in 2021.”
“On the other are left-leaning Democrats who’ve spent the last decade retooling the state’s penal code to favor treatment and rehabilitation over long prison sentences, and who are reluctant to embrace policies they fear could devastate Black and brown communities.”
“A Democratic lawmaker shelved several other bills to increase sentences for fentanyl dealers.”
“I was around during the crack cocaine epidemic, and this is really very similar to the hysteria around crack cocaine,” said Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer, a Los Angeles Democrat who chairs the Public Safety Committee. “And we rushed to come up with a solution, instead of looking at it from both a public health crisis and a public safety crisis and to bring them both together.”

But they’d to pay taxes if they could afford their own legal representation!
And yet, that “outraged mom” will still vote democrat.. ya can’t fix stupid..
How many times have I said on these posts that this shit can’t get any better. see you later Alligator.
How is this going to work with Black Against Black Crime?
What about Gang Crimes? Gangs Against Gangs?
What about those folks who have the last name Trump verses those who have the last name Biden?
What about those who are Biracial?
Or those who have Asian or Hispanic Background?
Or are White and have the last name of Newsome or Feinstein or Pelosi or Emhoff or Schiff or Swalwell or Schwarzenegger or Milk?
Or have Middle Eastern backgrounds? The Kardashians?
See where we are going with this?
*sarc*

So if Gavem Newscum is ass raped by a big 10 inch blackman is it considered rape.
Nope. Assault with a friendly weapon in Gavin’s case. You just described his dream date.
They didn’t call him “Any twosome Newsom” for nothin’…
Once again, with feeling:
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that!”
🤣
California… Failed. Shithole. State.
Run by complete morons.
Lars, you must be SO proud! As you have often said yourself.
Hey, let’s remember he said he lives in Oakland which is now a third world-style shithole!
What if a white person IDENTIFIES as a minority PoC?
Wait……IIRC, I’ve heard that “soon”, whities will actually BE a minority in the USSA. What then?
“…..disparate impact on historically disenfranchised and system-impacted populations.””
Will that then apply to us “whities”?
I’m OK with this… cause I identify as an angry, Lithuanian, non-binary polka-dotted person!!
Do you have an accordion? Let’r rip!
Wunnerful, wunnerful!
Long live the Shmenge brothers!
One nation, indivisible, except for vapid cretins who simply cannot or will not assimilate. MLK, Jr was a work of the devil and America has seen the content of their character.
Want to escape from the life you live? Try living the way the rest of us do, day-by-day, with alarm clocks, traffic, parking, whatever it takes to get there on time and be ready to do your job. Stay there all day, doing what you were hired to do and then go home to your family.
Feed every one, share the day, get to bed as early as you can, 9:30 pm works really well to get a good start on the next day, rested and ready for whatever the day brings.
^THIS!^
I guess I’d say that the appropriate sentence equals the crime, regardless what color, nationality ,sexual orientation, gender, etc. you are/claim!
