The crime problem is boiling over in the Bay Area again as the district attorneys responsible for Oakland and San Francisco continue to make decisions that range from questionable to straight-up pro-criminal.
Overall, crime has risen in Oakland, up 26% compared to last year. That includes violent crime up 11%, robberies up 14%, and motor vehicle theft up 33%. Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, a reform “prosecutor” funded by leftist megadonor George Soros, is in charge of Oakland’s criminal justice system. She has repeatedly gone soft on murderers and other career criminals.Price has shrugged off all criticism because district attorneys have “really no impact on crime.
Meanwhile, San Francisco’s attempt to backpedal from the soft-on-crime policies of former District Attorney Chesa Boudin isn’t going so well, either. Boudin’s replacement, Brooke Jenkins, is no doubt an improvement. She has ramped up prosecutions of drug dealers, though that has led to her office ramming its head against the wall of judges who are enraptured with the same soft-on-crime mindset that has consumed the city.
