Soros funded California DA to police: "Determine offender's needs before charging them with looting"

Soros-funded Contra County District Attorney Diana Becton has issued guidance that police need to determine an offender's "need" before they charge them with looting.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA- The latest liberal lunacy among DA’s is brought to you courtesy of Contra Costa County (CA) District Attorney Diana Becton. She puts the “loon” in lunatic. When a couple recently painted over graffiti in a roadway otherwise known as a Black Lives Matter “mural,” she had the couple responsible charged with a hate crime. We are not kidding. Now, she wants police officers, while investigating looting cases, to determine if the looters “needed” the stolen merchandise prior to charging them. Seriously.

Where to even start with this one. We have reported numerous times on the crazy, left-wing, Soros-funded district attorneys who are polluting prosecutor’s offices across the country, from Rachael Rollins in Suffolk County (Boston), Massachusetts to Kim Foxx in Chicago and Chesa Boudin in San Francisco.

All were elected through no small part by the fact that billionaire anti-American socialist George Soros dumped copious amounts of cash into their campaigns. What has that brought? Chaos, anarchy, and criminals who are emboldened, no longer concerned about the consequences of their actions.

RedState obtained a document which identifies so-called “Looting Guidelines,” which were provided to the outlet by a confidential source, however, have been verified as authentic by someone who is familiar with the office’s policies.

The document asks:

Was this theft offense substantially motivated by the state of emergency, or simply a theft offense which occurred contemporaneous to the declared state of emergency?

Factors to consider in making this determination:

    1. Was the target business open or closed to the public during the state of emergency?
    2. What was the manner and means by which the suspect gained entry to the target business?What was the nature/quantity/value of the goods targeted?
    3. Was the theft committed for financial gain or personal need?
    4. Is there an articulable reason why another statute wouldn’t adequately address the particular incident?
According to California law, a looting charge serves to increase the severity of the underlying charge, such as burglary or theft if it occurs during a State of Emergency.

The Shouse California Law Group says:

“Under Penal Code 463 PD, California law defines “looting” as taking advantage of a state of emergency to commit burglary, grand theft or petty theft. Looting charges can be filed as a misdemeanor or a felony and is punishable by up to 3 years in jail.”

Despite the fact that no specific state of emergency was declared in individual counties after the Black Lives Matter riots started in May, the whole state has been in a de facto state of emergency since March 4, when California Gov. Gavin Newsom instituted a state of emergency relative to the COVID-19 pandemic.

So, looking at Becton’s “guidelines” for charging looting, police officers are now apparently expected to obtain financial records from looters in order to determine whether or not they had a financial need to steal the 10 pairs of Air Jordan’s from the Foot Locker they broke into. Maybe they couldn’t pay Verizon for their cell bill for the $1,000 iPhone they were using to record their hijinks with, and they need to flip the kicks for some cold hard cash.

Maybe, as New York’s favorite brain-dead politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, they needed to flip their stolen merchandise so they could go down to 7-11 and buy a loaf of bread. It’s all about “need” after all.

So next "Peaceful theft" is ok, but "theft by force" results in having your indictment "reviewed?"

And if a murder occurs in the execution of said theft, the thief is required to apologize and write on the blackboard a hundred times "I won't do it again?"

"Throw the book at them Danno. No, not the comic book."

This train left the station years ago. Why is this different than "not guilty by reason of insanity"?

Having different rules for different people always gets screwed up.

The hot woman in the toga, with the blindfold, you know,,,,,, Lady Justice, she doesn't give a crap about your need. Our system has a provision for that. "Tell it to the Judge" At least the cops said that in the old movies.

AAANNDDD, The governor and President can commute or pardon, as we have seen recently.

Anyone that took maney from a Soros funded institution should be investigated and removed from office.

The man has been an enemy of the United States and has been actively working against it.

In my 20 years in law enforcement and working loss prevention for a grocery store for a couple of years, I encountered exactly ONE person stealing actual food to feed themselves. Most food thieves stole steak, lobster and shrimp to trade to the crack dealer for drugs. Most of the arrests that I made at the big box stores were for electronics, DVD's, beauty care products Sudafed for making meth, and HUGE amounts of jeans, shoes, baby and winter clothes for resale. There were several (GTR) second hand clothing stores in town that were always well stocked with brand new clothes.

We need to get outta here, CA..

Can someone tell me somewhere else to live? Unfortunately I have a list of things where I would like to live.

Not too hot.
Not too cold (including snow and ice).
Not a lot of bugs, like mosquitoes and other biting bugs.
Not a lot of poisonous snakes.
Not a lot of wind which includes tornadoes and hurricanes.
Low humidity.
No weird neighbors.
No alligators.
No low lives living any where next to where we live.
Not a lot of liberals around us.
We went through the Loma Prieta Earthquake OK.

The only place I can think of is the State of Jefferson. Or maybe northern AZ.

There was a court case in Houston Texas over shoplifting where a woman demonstrated that the food she had stolen was to feed her children. The court basically ruled that hunger out weighed the law. When I managed a rather large trading post my policy was if someone came in my store looking for work to eat I always found them a couple of hours work for a prepared meal in our deli. Hungary people should be treated civilly.

Leela, Northern Nevada fits many of your desires except for weather. We are cold in winter and hot in summer. It is very dry though, so we don't get much snow and ice that sticks around. Northern Arizona is very similar as far as cold and ice in winter. If you want to get away from leftists, you may need to toughen up a little as far as weather. Lefties are drawn to easy places to live, comfortable weather, and low heating bills. My area, except for the major city, which we don't live near, is mostly 2 to 1 Republicans and the low crime rates reflect that. Everyone is armed and the criminals know it, so no armed robbery or home invasions. No tornadoes, no hurricanes, no really severe storms and though earthquakes happen occasionally, I haven't felt one here in 20 years.

Was in the LP business for a Dept Store for several years, many years ago. Hi value compact size items were big targets. At one time the Housewares dept sold these Tableware sets. I don't remember how many pieces but it was for either 4 or 8 place settings. Wow were they popular by the thieves. A flat sealed box 10x12x2 inches weighed about 3-4 lbs and sold for $99 this was in the mid-1980's.

One guy came in with one wearing an unseasonable bulky fatigue coat. He told us his "Aunt" had given him the set for a present. We gave him a mail-a-check refund, where he fills out a form with his name and mailing address so we can sent him his refund check. Gosh so many of those checks came back as undeliverable.

I had one LP guy working for me. He was in a grocery store (no relation to our company) and saw a guy shove a couple packages of steaks down the front of his pants.

He followed the guy out, alerted the clerks as he buzzed through checkout lane. He told me later, when I asked about him approaching him. Obviously he could ID himself as a LP employee of our Store chain ...so how did he approach him? He said: "easy, I just told him to stop and he wanted to see the "meat" in his pants!"

I just about died laughing, he and two other of my LP guys were picked up by the local PD, I believe all of them retired out about 7-10 years ago.


By the Way Dobbin, "Theft by Force" is Robbery.

Short jump to.....rape, because he had unmet needs.

Murder, because she needed the insurance money.
Embezzlement, because they have a gambling problem.....

See where they are going?
