Los Angeles County District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-gascon">George Gascón</a> joined local station KTLA 5 Saturday morning to defend his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/recall-this-piece-of-garbage-soft-on-crime-los-angeles-da-gascon-slammed-after-thug-on-probation-kills-two-cops">record</a> as he faces a potential recall.
Gascón was <a href="https://ktla.com/news/local-news/l-a-county-da-gascon-responds-to-soft-on-crime-criticism/">asked</a> by news anchors Lynette Romero and Mark Meester to respond to those criticizing him as a “soft-on-crime” DA as L.A. has seen an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/six-cities-pace-pass-violent-crime-2022">8.6% rise</a> in violent crime over the past year.
When pressed on if he believed L.A. county was safer because of what he had done, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-gascon">Gascón</a> responded, &#8220;Yeah, in some areas it is.&#8221;
“I think it’s important to start out by saying that I was a police officer for many years before I was the district attorney. I know how to keep communities safe,” Gascón added.
The DA went on to blame the COVID pandemic for the crime and homelessness problems facing L.A., and said crime rates were increasing in cities across the country, not just in L.A.
“We’re coming out of the pandemic that has had a tremendous impact not only on L.A. County, but throughout the nation,&#8221; Gascón commented. &#8220;The reality is that crime is up around the nation, in fact some of our neighboring counties per capita are having higher levels of violence than we are.”
Gascón continued to deflect criticisms of his handling of L.A. County, saying there is a “national problem,” and L.A. is starting to “come out of it.”
“There are a lot of things that are not working. I see them. I’m frustrated as much as the next person. It is a national problem. It’s not just an L.A. problem. But L.A. in many ways is actually beginning to come out of it,” he said.
The leftist DA has faced mounting criticism over his handling of multiple criminal cases. Earlier this month, two El Monte police officers in L.A. County were “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/murdered-by-a-coward-two-california-police-officers-killed-after-being-essentially-ambushed">essentially ambushed</a>” and killed by gang member Justin William Flores. Flores reportedly got a reduced prison time — thanks to a Gascón policy — after he pleaded no contest to a charge of possessing a weapon as a felon.
Sources within the DA’s office reportedly told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/mother-slain-california-police-officer-blames-la-county-da-george-gascon">Fox News</a> that if Flores would have been charged in February 2021, he would have likely landed in prison for three years.
In another incident, a teenager got a slap on the wrist of five to seven months in a juvenile camp after he was caught on video running over a woman and her two-month-old baby in a hit-and-run. The mother and her infant son somehow survived, but she blasted Gascón for his alleged soft-on-crime policies.
The campaign effort to recall Gascón has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/campaign-to-recall-radical-la-district-attorney-is-a-go-report">reached</a> a threshold of 567,000 signatures, enough to initiate a recall, but it wants an additional 100,000 to 150,000 signatures to ensure the recall qualifies, as the campaign expects the registrar to deem some invalid.
The deadline for signature submissions for the recall is July 6.

Recall

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, whose soft-on-crime policies have been blamed for putting residents at risk, is being harshly criticized after a notorious criminal murdered two police officers this week after he was given probation instead of a jail term in 2020 over an illegal gun charge.
Justin William Flores, on parole at the time of the shooting, made a plea deal whereby he received two years probation and 20 days in jail in 2020 because of Gascón’s policy of not prosecuting three-strike cases. Prior to Gascón’s policy, Flores could have been sent back to prison for a minimum of three years, as he had already served time in prison twice for felony burglary and car theft. Flores had been barred from carrying a gun since 2011.
“Court records also showed at least a dozen other prosecutions, many resolved with no contest pleas and probationary sentences, for charges such as driving with a suspended license, being under the influence of a controlled substance, or resisting arrest,” <a href="https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/el-monte-officers-murdered-alleged-killer-on-probation-for-illegal-gun/2917849/">NBC Los Angeles</a> reported. “Law enforcement sources told the I-Team they believed at least one of the two murdered officers would have recognized Flores on sight and by name.”
On Wednesday, Gascón&#8217;s office defended the decision of the softer sentence for Flores, stating, “The sentence he received in the firearm case was consistent with case resolutions for this type of offense given his criminal history and the nature of the offense. At the time the court sentenced him, Mr. Flores did not have a documented history of violence,” <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10922519/LA-DA-George-Gascon-condemned-revealed-duty-cops-murdered-man-probation.html">The Daily Mail</a> reported.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Gascon’s policies also suggest his office may pay for the funeral of the cop killer. When he took office, he issued a policy stating his office would pay the funeral expenses of people killed by police, “regardless of the state of the investigation or charging decision.” <a href="https://twitter.com/FoxNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FoxNews</a> <a href="https://t.co/ZLcXpI4ivX">pic.twitter.com/ZLcXpI4ivX</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“What separates Gascón from all the rest of the elected rogue prosecutors is the breadth, scope, and immediate impact of his pro-defendant, anti-victim policies, which are contained within nine sweeping ‘special directives’ to all Los Angeles deputy district attorneys, and were published one minute after he was sworn into office,” the Heritage Foundation wrote in February 2021.
The effects of these “special directives” were explained <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/meet-george-gascon-the-rogue-prosecutor-whose-policies-are-wreaking">here.</a>
The late Corporal Michael Paredes is survived by his wife, daughter, and son, while late Officer Joseph Santana is survived by his wife, daughter, and twin sons.
El Monte interim Police Chief Ben Lowry stated, “These two men were loved.  were good men. They paid the ultimate sacrifice, serving their community trying to help somebody. They were murdered by a coward and we are grieving, and that hurts.” Flores was later shot and killed during the confrontation.

Last month, Gascón was slammed after a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">transgender</a> convicted child molester got a light sentence, then later was charged with murder.
<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/trans-child-molester-charged-with-murder-after-gascon-slap-on-wrist/">The Daily Wire</a> reported in mid-May:
<blockquote>Hannah Tubbs, who admitted to molesting a 10-year-old girl in a Palmdale, California, Denny&#8217;s restaurant restroom in 2014 when he was 17, pleaded guilty eight years later after DNA evidence led police to him. He began identifying as a woman and was sentenced to just two years in a juvenile facility despite being 26, in a case that sparked fury at Gascón.</blockquote>
Gascón refused to prosecute Tubbs in adult court; his policy stated at the time that minor offenders be tried in juvenile court, as Tubbs was 17 at the time of the assault.
Tubbs later pled not guilty to the unrelated, April 21, 2019, murder of Michael Clark.
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/transgender-ca-woman-molesting-sentenced">Fox News</a> obtained a recording of Tubbs, in jail, bragging to his father about getting off easy.

“You won’t have to register?” his father asked.
“I won’t have to do none of that,” Tubbs replied.
“So what are they going to do to you then?”
“Nothing,” Tubbs answered, laughing.

‘Recall This Piece Of Garbage’: Soft-On Crime Los Angeles DA Gascón Slammed After Thug On Probation Kills Two Cops

The campaign to recall Los Angeles County District Attorney <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/los-angeles-d-a-gascon-launches-campaign-to-stop-right-wing-recall-attempt-from-trump-mega-donors/">George Gascón</a> has reportedly gathered enough signatures that could make their plan a reality, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin announced on Wednesday.
The campaign has reached the threshold of 567,000 signatures, which is enough to initiate a recall, but it wants an additional 100,000 &#8211; 150,000 signatures to ensure the recall qualifies as the campaign expects the registrar to deem some invalid.
According to a tweet from Melugin, those working to have Gascón recalled stated that they had reached the required number of signatures — 567,000 — early Wednesday, racking up some 30,000+ in the last few days alone. Their plan, according to Melugin&#8217;s report, is to continue gathering signatures in case some of them cannot be properly verified.
&#8220;BREAKING: The campaign to recall LA DA @GeorgeGascon tells me they hit the necessary 567,000 signatures today, and have received 30,000+ signatures in the last few days alone. They need 566,857 *verified* by July 6th, and are aiming for 650k + by then for &#8216;padding,'&#8221; Melugin tweeted.
&#8220;The campaign tells me some of the signatures will inevitably be thrown out, which is why they want to build as much padding or &#8216;cushion&#8217; as possible before the deadline. They believe 650-700k would lock it in to qualify. &#8216;We are within striking distance of Gascon,&#8217; they tell me,&#8221; he added.

Gascón has been under fire recently as violent crime in Los Angeles has continued to rise while his soft-on-crime policies do little to &#8220;reform&#8221; criminal justice as he promised.
One woman, after a teenaged driver in a stolen vehicle <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/watch-hit-and-run-driver-who-ran-over-mom-and-baby-gets-5-7-months-in-juvie-camp/">nearly killed her</a> and her 8-month-old baby, addressed Gascón&#8217;s plan to send the perpetrator to &#8220;juvie camp&#8221; for a few months.
&#8220;George Gascón doesn’t value my life or the life of my child, or any other victim out there and would rather reward the monsters &#8230; by demonstrating to them that their actions have no consequences,” she said in a victim impact statement. &#8220;DA Gascón is telling him and every other thug in LA County that it doesn’t matter if you try to murder people. Why are Gascón’s policies prioritizing the livelihood of rotten monsters when my child, my baby, who is incapable of protecting himself, is left to fend for himself, and is essentially being told his life doesn’t matter?&#8221;
And the criminals certainly appear to have gotten the message. According to Melugin&#8217;s reporting a week earlier, as plans to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/radical-da-has-turned-the-streets-of-los-angeles-into-a-living-nightmare-campaign-to-recall-gascon-raises-more-than-6-million/">recall Gascón</a> began to gain momentum, audio surfaced of a gang member charged with murder asking his attorneys to &#8220;hurry up and make a deal&#8221; while Gascón still held the office.
The gang member feared that with Gascón out of the way, whoever took his place might &#8220;bring back that bulls*** life without parole and death penalty.&#8221;

Campaign To Recall Radical Los Angeles District Attorney Hits Key Milestone, Still Seeks More Signatures

Fox News

A teenaged hit-and-run driver was sentenced to 5-7 months in &#8220;juvenile probation camp&#8221; after running over a woman and her eight-month-old son, who was in a stroller at the time.
The shocking video circulated on social media just after the crash, showing the car — which was reportedly stolen — accelerating and veering toward the woman with the stroller. The woman could be seen attempting to move out of the driver&#8217;s way, but a building obstructed her — and at the last minute, she turned in an effort to take the brunt of the impact herself and save her baby.
&#8220;A 16 y/o hit &amp; run driver in a stolen car who ran over a mom and child in Venice was sentenced on Friday to 5-7 months in juvie camp,&#8221; Fox News reporter Bill Melugin tweeted. &#8220;LA DA @georgegascon office tells me this was an &#8220;appropriate resolution,&#8221; but I&#8217;ve learned he has a prior criminal history.&#8221;

Melugin went on to note that several sources had confirmed the driver was on probation at the time of the crash — which clearly violated that. &#8220;He had been previously convicted of felony poisoning after he spiked a teen girl’s drink at Palmdale high school in 2019. She was hospitalized,&#8221; Melugin added.
&#8220;Despite the juvie’s criminal history, sources in the LA DA’s office tell me that in accordance with his policies, Gascon’s admin didn’t charge the juvie w/ assault w/ a deadly weapon or attempted murder for the hit &amp; run, which led to light juvie camp sentence,&#8221; Melugin continued.

Gascon&#8217;s office told Melugin that the Los Angeles Sheriff&#8217;s Department had signed off on the light sentence:
<blockquote>Fortunately, the baby was uninjured, and the mother received a laceration to her elbow. The Sheriff’s Department agreed with the felony charges that were filed. At arraignment, the minor admitted two felony counts of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury and one felony count of hit-and-run. The Probation Department recommended, and the court sentenced the minor to a youth camp for five to seven months, an appropriate resolution.</blockquote>
The LA County Sheriff disputed that claim, however, saying that his department had nothing to do with what he called &#8220;lightweight sentencing.&#8221; When confronted, Gascon&#8217;s office reportedly conceded that the Sheriff&#8217;s Department had not been involved and promised to correct their statement.

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">transgender</a> convicted child molester whose light sentence stoked anger at Los Angeles County District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-gascon">George Gascón</a> was charged Tuesday with murder.
Hannah Tubbs, who admitted to molesting a 10-year-old girl in a Palmdale, California, Denny&#8217;s restaurant restroom in 2014 when he was 17, pleaded guilty eight years later after DNA evidence led police to him. He began identifying as a woman and was sentenced to just two years in a juvenile facility despite being 26, in a case that sparked fury at Gascón.
On Tuesday, Tubbs pleaded not guilty to the unrelated, April 21, 2019, murder of Michael Clark, whose body was found months later in the Kern River. Kern County Superior Court Judge David Zulfa referred to the defendant by his birth name, James Edward Tubbs, and ordered him held on $1 million bond in a men&#8217;s jail in Kern County.

In the earlier case, Gascón refused to prosecute Tubbs in adult court as part of his directive that minor offenders be tried in juvenile court, even for serious crimes. He claimed that since Tubbs was two weeks shy of his 18th birthday when he molested the girl, he belonged in a juvenile facility even though he is now 26. Gascón also refused to require Tubbs to register as a sex offender.
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/transgender-ca-woman-molesting-sentenced">Fox News</a> later obtained a recording of a phone call Tubbs made from jail in which he boasted to hs father about getting off easy.
“Don’t worry about it,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/transgender-child-molester-hannah-tubbs-gloats-laughs-over-light-sentence-in-jailhouse-phone-call">Tubbs said</a>. “It’s a strike, but they’re gonna plead, I’m going to plead out to them and plead guilty.&#8221;
“You won’t have to register?” her father asked.
“I won’t have to do none of that,” Tubbs replied.
“So what are they going to do to you then?”
“Nothing,” Tubbs answered, then laughed.
</div>
Tubbs’ victim, who was 10 at the time of the attack, told Fox News that the handling of the case has been “insulting” and “unfair” to her.
“The things he did to me and made me do that day was beyond horrible for a ten-year-old girl to have to go through,” she told Fox. “I want him tried as an adult for the crimes he committed against me.”
“I’ve also heard that my attacker goes by she/them pronouns now,” she added. “I see it also unfair to try him as a woman as well, seeing how he clearly didn’t act like one on January 1st of 2014.”

Gascón, who is facing a recall attempt, was humiliated by the case and said he would re-evaluate his sentencing policies.
“While for most people several years of jail time is adequate, it may not be for Ms. Tubbs,” he said. “If we knew about her disregard for the harm she caused, we would have handled this case differently.”

Trans Child Molester Charged With Murder After Gascón Slap On Wrist

California Trans Man Convicted Of Molesting Child Charged In Murder

Transgender

Dave Chappelle&#8217;s lawyer recently told the press this past weekend that it is &#8220;insane&#8221; that the 23-year-old alleged assailant who attacked his client would likely only receive a slap on the wrist thanks to Los Angeles County&#8217;s prosecutor referring the case to the L.A. City Attorney&#8217;s Office. Chappelle, according to his attorney, wants the accused suspect to be charged with a felony.
On Thursday, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/soros-backed-prosecutor-seeks-slap-on-the-wrist-for-alleged-dave-chappelle-attacker">reported</a> that Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón would not be seeking felony charges for the man accused of attacking Chappelle last Tuesday night because, according to sources, the suspect did not assault Chappelle while using a deadly weapon, despite having one in his luggage. Chappelle&#8217;s attorney Gabriel Colwell slammed that decision in several press interviews after Gascon&#8217;s office announced the decision.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a travesty of justice that Gascón is refusing to prosecute this case as a felony,&#8221; Colwell <a href="https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/dave-chappelle-is-not-happy-hollywood-bowl-attack-gascon/2888881/">told</a> the New York Post. &#8220;The city attorney, who filed the case, is doing his job but DA Gascón should also do his job and charge this as a felony.&#8221;
On Monday, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/radical-da-has-turned-the-streets-of-los-angeles-into-a-living-nightmare-campaign-to-recall-gascon-raises-more-than-6-million">reported</a> that thousands of Los Angeles residents also feel that Gascón should do his job — or more to the point, that he shouldn&#8217;t be in the job in the first place. A group known as “Recall DA George Gascón” announced last week that it had collected over 400,000 signatures as of May 1 and has raised more than $6 million to advance the movement to oust Gascón from office.
The Daily Wire also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/radical-da-has-turned-the-streets-of-los-angeles-into-a-living-nightmare-campaign-to-recall-gascon-raises-more-than-6-million">noted</a> that in order to get the recall question on the ballot, the campaign must collect 566,857 signatures from registered voters in Los Angeles County. This amounts to approximately 10% of registered voters, as county officials logged 5,690,406 total registrations for September’s gubernatorial recall election.
During the 2020 election, groups backing Gascón’s candidacy <a class="c-link" href="https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-district-attorney-race-top-donors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-district-attorney-race-top-donors/" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">received</a> millions of dollars from billionaire George Soros. Since taking office, the progressive prosecutor has been repeatedly criticized for what critics say is a soft-on-crime approach advocated by leftist district attorneys across the country.
Last week, Fox News reported that since Gascón took office in 2020, “Los Angeles has seen a 34% increase in homicide, 15.5% increase in violent crimes, 6.7% increase in property crimes and 67% increase in shooting victims. Arrests have decreased by nearly 25% since 2020, according to <a href="https://lapdonlinestrgeacc.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/lapdonlinemedia/2022/05/cityprof.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">LAPD</a> statistics.”
Now, Chappelle&#8217;s attacker, Isaiah Lee, will be added to those statistics. Despite having a knife hidden inside a gun, Lee was not charged because sources say he did not actually wield the weapon in his attack on Chappelle.
That reasoning apparently isn&#8217;t sitting well with Chappelle.
&#8220;This is what Mr. Chappelle wants. Mr. Chappelle wants this case charged as a felony. &#8230; Ten thousand people saw Dave Chappelle assaulted on stage at the Hollywood Bowl last Tuesday night, and the assailant had a deadly weapon on him,&#8221; Colwell told Rolling Stone magazine. &#8220;The fact that this isn&#8217;t charged as a felony case by the DA is insane.&#8221;
A spokesperson for Recall Gascón emphasized to The Daily Wire that the county&#8217;s DA has created an atmosphere that enables and encourages crime every day.
“Perhaps worse than any one specific policy, Gascón has sent a loud and clear message to criminals that he will always have their backs, whether that means lowering sentences or declining to prosecute certain crimes altogether,” the spokesperson said.
“That mentality has turned the streets of Los Angeles into a living nightmare — criminals feel emboldened, residents feel unsafe, and victims feel completely betrayed,&#8221; the spokesperson added. &#8220;That is why you see convicted killers saying they are going to tattoo Gascón name on their forehead or toasting Gascón with homemade alcohol from inside a prison cell.”

Last week, a political campaign in California celebrated an impactful milestone, as the “Recall DA George Gascón” group announced it had collected over 400,000 signatures as of May 1, raising more than $6 million.
In order to get the recall question on the ballot, the campaign must collect 566,857 signatures from registered voters in Los Angeles County. This amounts to approximately 10% of registered voters, as county officials logged 5,690,406 total registrations for September’s gubernatorial recall election.
“Perhaps worse than any one specific policy, Gascón has sent a loud and clear message to criminals that he will always have their backs, whether that means lowering sentences or declining to prosecute certain crimes altogether,” a spokesperson with the Recall DA George Gascón campaign told The Daily Wire. 
“That mentality has turned the streets of Los Angeles into a living nightmare — criminals feel emboldened, residents feel unsafe, and victims feel completely betrayed. That is why you see convicted killers saying they are going to tattoo Gascón name on their forehead or toasting Gascón with homemade alcohol from inside a prison cell.”
In an earlier press release, the campaign said that it was “starting to see light at the end of the tunnel,” and that “there is a legitimate pathway to qualifying the recall by the July 6th deadline if we do not let up.”
“In addition to paid and volunteer signature gathering, the recall is preparing to mail out petitions with pre-paid return envelopes to targeted Los Angeles County voters,” the campaign added. “This is the make-or-break phase of the recall, and if we can pull off this monumental task, Gascón will be voted out in a landslide.”
According to <a href="https://www.lamag.com/citythinkblog/gascon-recall-is-being-funded-by-hollywood-power-players/">Los Angeles Magazine</a>, the effort to recall the controversial District Attorney is surprisingly bipartisan, with “help from some deep-pocketed Democratic donors and Hollywood grandees,” with some “big-name Democrats” entering “the fray in the early days of 2022.” The outlet described numerous early contributors to the campaign, including notable Democrats with links to the Clinton and Biden administrations.
Calls to recall Gascón follow a concerning rise in lawlessness in Los Angeles, with dozens of cities in America&#8217;s most populous county issuing votes of “no confidence” in the District Attorney. These include San Gabriel, Santa Clarita, Beverly Hills, Pico Rivera, Whitter, La Mirada, Covina, Rosemead, Azusa, Santa Fe Springs, Diamond Bar, Redondo Beach, Arcadia, Manhattan Beach, Temple City, Palos Verdes Estates and Lancaster.
The Association of Deputy District Attorneys (ADDA), the “collective bargaining group for more than 800 deputy district attorneys in the county,” <a href="https://www.foxla.com/news/south-gate-city-council-issues-vote-of-no-confidence-in-da-george-gascon">voted</a> in support of the recall effort, with 98% of Gascón&#8217;s own line prosecutors voting in favor. Approximately 83% of association members took part in the vote.
&#8220;This vote is by those who are intimately familiar with how Mr. Gascón&#8217;s policies actually play out on a day-to-day basis,&#8221; ADDA President Michele Hanisee said in a statement announcing the vote. &#8220;We believe the vote of our members will resonate with the voters of Los Angeles as they decide whether to recall Gascón from office and restore public safety as the priority of the District Attorney&#8217;s Office.&#8221;
On the campaign’s <a href="https://www.recalldageorgegascon.com/why-recall-da-george-gascon/">website</a>, a summary of George Gascón&#8217;s directives include the elimination of cash bail, the redefinition of 13 crimes as misdemeanors (such as trespassing, driving without a license and resisting arrest), and treating repeat violent offenders as first-time offenders.

Joe Rogan slammed the Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón who has refused to file felony charges against the suspect who attacked comedian Dave Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl during his show.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-on-roe-leak-theres-a-big-difference-between-a-little-clump-of-cells-and-a-fetus-with-an-eyeball-and-a-beating-heart">podcast host</a> shared a headline on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CdMcKt5MLK-/">Instagram</a> Thursday with his millions of followers from the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/dave-chappelle-hollywood-bowl-attack-da-declines-charges-1235140575/">Hollywood Reporter</a> that read, &#8220;L.A. District Attorney Declines Felony Charges for Suspect in Dave Chappelle Hollywood Bowl Attack.&#8221; Rogan said that when &#8220;you see a that a person&#8221; &#8220;obviously&#8221; committed a &#8220;clear crime&#8221; and doesn&#8217;t get charged, it&#8217;s the kind of thing that &#8220;makes people lose faith in law enforcement.&#8221;
&#8220;When you see that a person commits a clear crime, and does it to one of the most loved performers alive, and does it in a very high profile public setting, and it gets captured on video, and you don&#8217;t charge that person for what they obviously did, it’s the kind of thing that makes people lose faith in law enforcement,&#8221; the podcast host captioned his post.
&#8220;That&#8217;s never good,&#8221; he added.
The screenshot he shared included a quote from a spokesperson with the district attorney&#8217;s office that read, &#8220;Prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred, the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct.&#8221;
Rogans&#8217;s post also included a repost of a comment from Saagar Enjeti, the co-host of “The Realignment” podcast and “Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar,&#8221; who asked, &#8220;What does somebody need to do to actually get charged with a crime in LA?&#8221;
The alleged attacker has been identified as Isaiah Lee, 23, of Los Angeles, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/man-who-allegedly-attacked-dave-chappelle-onstage-identified">reported</a> by The Daily Wire.
Lee was reportedly armed with a knife attached to a fake gun, LAPD spokesperson Lizeth Lomeli stated, reported the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/04/dave-chappelle-attacker-isaiah-lee-23-booked-for-felony-assault/?utm_medium=SocialFlow&amp;utm_campaign=SocialFlow&amp;utm_source=NYPTwitter">New York Post,</a> which added, &#8220;Lee was booked just after 3:30 a.m. Wednesday and held on $30,000 bail, records show.&#8221;

On Thursday, the host commented on the attack of fellow comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netflix-issues-statement-following-dave-chappelle-attack">Chappelle</a> and told his audience of &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYvNi_ewd8U">The Joe Rogan Experience</a>&#8221; podcast that he talked to the superstar comedian after the attack.

&#8220;So, this f***ing Dave Chappelle thing is crazy,&#8221; Rogan told his guest Tony Hinchcliffe. “Last night, I guess it was, someone attacked him at the Hollywood Bowl. He&#8217;s fine. I checked in with him today. He was laughing about it. He&#8217;s in good spirits.&#8221;
Rogan and his guest then watched video that surfaced on social media of a person appearing to run on stage and trying to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chappelle-assailant-had-knife-hidden-in-fake-gun-jamie-foxx-rushed-onto-stage-to-aid">tackle Chappelle</a>, as the host called the suspect &#8220;crazy.&#8221;
&#8220;Clearly there&#8217;s something wrong with him,&#8221; the podcast host shared. &#8220;Look at, he just runs away. Oh my god, that guy’s never tackled anybody in his life.&#8221;
Rogan then reiterated his concern that this kind of thing was going to happen after Will Smith <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/will-smith-struck-chris-rock-in-the-face-at-oscars-after-he-cracked-a-joke-about-jada-pinkett-smiths-hair-loss">slapped Chris Rock</a> at the 94th Academy Awards when the comedian cracked a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith&#8217;s shaved head amid her hair loss battle.
&#8220;After the Chris Rock thing, that was one of the things I was worried about,&#8221; the host explained. “Are people thinking they are going to start smacking comedians now if they don&#8217;t like what they are saying? And what I&#8217;m thinking and what I&#8217;m worried about people thinking that&#8217;s justified.&#8221;

‘Makes People Lose Faith In Law Enforcement’: Rogan Slams LA DA Not Filing Felony Charges Against Suspect In Dave Chappelle Attack

Joe Rogan Slams LA DA Not Filing Felony Charges Against Dave Chappelle Attacker

Law Enforcement

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón will not be seeking felony charges for the man accused of attacking comedian Dave Chappelle on Tuesday night because, according to sources, the suspect did not assault Chappelle while using a deadly weapon.
On Tuesday evening, Isaiah Lee, 23, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dave-chappelle-assaulted-onstage-at-hollywood-bowl?%3Futm_source=twitter">after tackling</a> Chappelle during a show in Los Angeles. Sources <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/dave-chappelle-attacker-wont-be-charged-assault-deadly-weapon-da-office-says">told</a> The Los Angeles Times that Lee had a knife hidden inside a replica gun that night, but authorities say that the weapon was in a bag and was not brandished toward the comedian during the attack. As a result, Gascón has handed the case over to the city of L.A.
&#8220;The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has referred the case to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office for misdemeanor filing consideration,&#8221; Greg Risling, spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney&#8217;s Office, told Fox News.
Not everybody in the DA&#8217;s office agreed with the decision. Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/dave-chappelle-attacker-wont-be-charged-assault-deadly-weapon-da-office-says">told</a> Fox News, &#8220;Anyone who arms themselves with a deadly weapon, in this case a knife, and violently attacks an innocent person, famous or not, should be charged accordingly.”
&#8220;With only a misdemeanor charge, the person could be released soon, with only a slap on the wrist,&#8221; Hatami added. &#8220;That fails to provide justice to the victim, accountability for this person’s actions, and safety to the general public. These concepts, however, like public safety and justice, that most of us value, are concepts George Gascón can care less about.&#8221;
Groups backing Gascón&#8217;s candidacy <a class="c-link" tabindex="-1" href="https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-district-attorney-race-top-donors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-district-attorney-race-top-donors/" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">received</a> millions of dollars from progressive billionaire George Soros during the 2020 race. The reform-minded prosecutor has been repeatedly criticized for what critics say is a soft-on-crime approach advocated by leftist district attorneys across the country. There is currently a petition to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/george-gascon-recall-california-la-sheriff-villanueva">recall</a> Gascón, which has received more than 400,000 signatures. It needs 566,857 signatures by July 6, 2022, in order for the recall question to be listed on the ballot this November.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/george-gascon-recall-california-la-sheriff-villanueva">told</a> Fox News on Thursday that he expects the recall to happen.
&#8220;It looks like it&#8217;s gonna happen,&#8221; Villanueva said. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s a historical moment for this experiment with ultra-progressive DAs who don&#8217;t do their job. I think the country has had enough with it. They just want to see basic law and order reinstituted everywhere.&#8221;
Fox also noted that since Gascón took office in 2020, &#8220;Los Angeles has seen a 34% increase in homicide, 15.5% increase in violent crimes, 6.7% increase in property crimes and 67% increase in shooting victims. Arrests have decreased by nearly 25% since 2020, according to <a href="https://lapdonlinestrgeacc.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/lapdonlinemedia/2022/05/cityprof.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">LAPD</a> statistics.&#8221;
For his part, Chappelle was physically unharmed during the attack. Still, the comedian called the incident &#8220;unfortunate and unsettling&#8221; in a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/04/entertainment/dave-chappelle-hollywood-bowl-audience-video/index.html">statement given</a> to CNN.

A convicted murderer has sworn to get the name of the Los Angeles County district attorney tattooed on his face after the prosecutor dramatically eased the murderer&#8217;s charges.
&#8220;I’m going to get that n*****’s name on my face. That’s a champ right there. F***in’ Gascón,&#8221; gang member Luis Angel Hernandez said of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón in a jailhouse phone call, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/convicted-murderer-gascons-name-tattoo-audio">according to audio obtained by Fox News</a>.
Gascón barred prosecutors from applying &#8220;enhancements&#8221; that increase sentences based on the crime in almost all cases shortly after he took office, <a href="https://da.lacounty.gov/media/news/district-attorney-gascon-outlines-accomplishments-from-first-year-in-office">claiming</a> he has saved the district &#8220;millions of dollars in prison-related costs.&#8221;
Hernandez had faced enhancements not only for being a gang member, but also for the &#8220;special circumstance&#8221; in which he committed murder during an armed robbery and for using a firearm in commission of a crime, according to Fox. He had faced life in prison without the possibility of parole.
But because of Gascón&#8217;s policy, his enhancements were dropped, the publication reported.
&#8220;This s*** looking real good,&#8221; the convicted murderer said in the phone call obtained by Fox, praising Gascón&#8217;s policies. &#8220;Now we got a new DA in LA … so they’re going to drop a gang of, um, like my gun enhancement, my gang enhancement. My gang enhancement is 10 years, fool, for being a gang member. And then the gun in the commission of a crime.&#8221;
&#8220;That’s the n***** right there, bro,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;He’s making historic changes for all of us, fool. I’m just grateful, fool. Like, I got good news off that s***.&#8221;
&#8220;They’re like, ‘You’re coming home, blood.’ They already told me, my lawyer told me, ‘You’re coming home,’&#8221; he said.
During an armed robbery in 2018, Fox reported, Hernandez, a member of the OTF gang, shot and killed a delivery person who worked for a marijuana delivery service.
He pleaded guilty to both murder and personal use of a firearm, according to Fox.
&#8220;A robbery can be a purse snatch with no injury, or it can be a gun in your face,&#8221; L.A. deputy district attorney Michele Hanisee told Fox. &#8220;Sentencing enhancements make sure that the perpetrator of the first and the perpetrator of the second are treated differently.&#8221;
In a Wednesday statement to The Daily Wire, Alex Bastian, special advisor to District Attorney George Gascón,  expressed sympathy for the victim&#8217;s family &#8220;as they have experienced such hardship and trauma.&#8221;
&#8220;Luis Angel Hernandez was sentenced to 35 years to life for the murder he committed in 2018,&#8221; Bastian said. &#8220;He pled guilty to one count of first-degree murder and a firearm enhancement last year as part of a negotiated disposition.&#8221;
&#8220;The defendant committed this crime at the age of 21, and will be in custody for decades to come,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Contrary to what some have said, he has not been resentenced. If his conduct continues in the current fashion, it is very unlikely he would be released by the parole board upon completing his sentence.&#8221;
This is not the first time that a criminal has been recorded praising Los Angeles&#8217;s chief prosecutor and his lax policies.
Fox <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/transgender-ca-woman-molesting-sentenced">published audio in February</a> of a biologically male, pedophilic convicted sex offender (who identifies as a transgender woman) gloating while discussing the light punishment handed down for molesting a little girl in a woman&#8217;s bathroom.
&#8220;I’m gonna plead out to it, plead guilty,&#8221; the pedophile, who goes by the name Hannah Tubbs, says in one recording. &#8220;They’re gonna stick me on probation, and it’s gonna be dropped, it’s gonna be done, I won’t have to register, won’t have to do nothing.&#8221;
&#8220;You won’t have to register?&#8221; asked the criminal&#8217;s father, according to Fox, to which the pedophile replied, &#8220;I won’t have to do none of that.&#8221;
&#8220;So what are they going to do to you then,&#8221; the father asked.
&#8220;Nothing,&#8221; the pedophile replied with a laugh.

Murderer Gang Member Swears To Get L.A. District Attorney’s Name Tattooed On Face In Thanks For Dramatically Reduced Charges

A biological male who now claims to identify as a woman was sentenced this week to two years in a juvenile detention center, where he&#8217;ll <a href="https://twitter.com/peterjhasson/status/1486885949481136129">reportedly</a> be housed with females, for molesting a 10-year-old girl in a women&#8217;s bathroom.
Hannah Tubbs, formerly James Tubbs, pleaded guilty to molesting the girl in a women&#8217;s bathroom eight years ago, when Tubbs was two weeks from turning 18, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/transgender-ca-woman-molesting-sentenced">reported</a> Thursday. It was only after Tubbs was taken into custody that he began identifying as a woman, prosecutors said.
Notably, Tubbs wasn&#8217;t connected to the case until 2019.
Tubbs will &#8220;be housed with females in juvenile detention facility for molesting female child,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/peterjhasson/status/1486885949481136129">reported</a> senior editor for Fox News Digital Peter Hasson. &#8220;Tubbs began identifying as female after being taken into custody. DA refused to try as adult.&#8221;
&#8220;In L.A. County, juvenile facilities can house both females and males, but in separate areas. Tubbs will be housed with the females,&#8221; a Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/transgender-ca-woman-molesting-sentenced">report</a> elaborated.
Tubbs went into a female restroom at a Denny&#8217;s restaurant in 2014, grabbed a 10-year-old girl by the throat, locked her in a stall, and molested her until another person walked into the bathroom, reports say.
Far-left District Attorney George Gascón decided to try Tubbs as a minor, and Tubbs was sentenced to the maximum available sentence of two years.
&#8220;Tubbs is 26 years old,&#8221; said Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami. &#8220;Unlike George Gascon’s false narrative, she is not a ‘kid.'&#8221;
&#8220;There was evidence presented at the juvenile proceedings which showed that Tubbs sexually assaulted two young girls in different incidents in the past,&#8221; Hatami said. &#8220;The child victims will suffer lifelong trauma. Tubbs also has prior violent convictions and conduct as an adult.&#8221;
&#8220;Because of George Gascon&#8217;s blanket policy against transferring any juvenile to adult court, even if the 17-year-old rapes or murders an innocent child, James Tubbs will not have to register as a sex offender, will not spend any time in county jail or state prison, will be 26 and housed with juveniles for a very short period of time, and will be released with no probation or parole monitoring,&#8221; he blasted. &#8220;The victims will get no justice. The public will get no safety.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s an injustice against all of us, especially the young victims,&#8221; Hatami added.
Judge Mario Barrera blasted Gascón, too, but ultimately said his hands were &#8220;tied&#8221; and could not direct Tubbs to be housed in county jail.
&#8220;I want to be clear,&#8221; Barrera said. &#8220;The filing of a transfer motion is entirely within the discretion of the district attorney.&#8221;
According to Fox News, Tubbs was only linked to the case of the assault on the 10-year-old in 2019, when Tubbs&#8217; DNA was entered into a database for another arrest. Charges were filed against Tubbs in 2020.
&#8220;Tubbs has previously been arrested for battery, drug possession and probation violations in Idaho and Washington,&#8221; the report noted.
He was also accused of sexually assaulting a minor in Kern County, California, though he was never prosecuted.

Biological Man, 26, Who Molested Girl To Be Housed With Females In Juvenile Detention After Identifying As Woman

The chief of staff of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of public intoxication following an incident with officers from the Azusa Police Department.
Azusa is located about 20 miles east of downtown L.A. and is one of the dozens of cities in L.A. County that <a href="https://www.foxla.com/news/city-of-azusa-issues-vote-of-no-confidence-in-la-county-da-george-gascon">issued</a> a vote of no-confidence in D.A. Gascón, the target of a renewed attempt to recall the progressive prosecutor from office.
KFI News broke the story on Tuesday morning.
The Los Angeles Times <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-12-21/l-a-d-a-george-gascons-chief-of-staff-arrested-for-public-intoxication">reported</a>, “Joseph Iniguez, 36, was arrested shortly before midnight during a traffic stop on Dec. 11, according to L.A. County jail records.” According to the Times, “Iniguez said the arrest was unjust, claiming officers detained him as punishment for filming the encounter” during an exclusive interview on Tuesday morning.
Iniguez said he was returning home from a wedding with his fiancé and claimed the couple “stopped at a drive-through restaurant in Asuza (sic) when they were approached by police,” the Times reported.
However, sources within the Azusa Police Department reportedly told KFI’s Steve Gregory that law enforcement came into contact with Iniguez and his companion during “a traffic stop.”
Gregory <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/john-and-ken-on-demand-20635765/episode/john-ken-show-hour-4-90766042/">reported</a> that police were questioning the driver, Iniguez’s partner, when Iniguez exited the vehicle and started recording the interaction with his cell phone.
“Sources closer to the case have characterized Iniguez’s behavior as belligerent, and at one point, saying ‘You really effed up,’” Gregory said. “Not only is he the chief of staff of the D.A.’s office, but he also heads up the Justice Integrity Unit, which oversees police conduct.”
Gregory reported that Iniguez was released from jail a few hours after he was arrested and had “sobered up,” citing undisclosed sources.
Since the Azusa Police Department does not have a body-camera program in place, the only video of the altercation that exists is believed to have been captured by Iniguez’s cell phone.
“I wanted to record to preserve whatever was going to happen between that officer and my fiancé, because he was not DUI,” Iniguez told the Times.
Iniguez has not yet released the video to any media outlets to back up his claims.
Still, KFI reported that Iniguez filed a personnel complaint against all of the officers involved with his arrest.
“This happens to people all of the time, all across the county … it’s been a traumatic experience knowing that an officer on a whim can place those cuffs on you,” said Iniguez, per the Times.
It remains to be seen which law enforcement agency will be responsible for investigating the incident, as the case presents concerns about a potential conflict of interest.
Iniguez, a former deputy district attorney in L.A. County, was a candidate to become D.A. but withdrew from the race in 2019 to serve as co-chair of Gascón’s campaign.
The L.A. Times reported:
<blockquote>After Gascón’s victory, Iniguez was elevated to serve as the office’s interim chief deputy prosecutor, effectively making him the second-in-command of the largest prosecutor’s office in the U.S. It was a decision that drew the ire of some longtime deputy district attorneys. Gascón recently called on his former chief deputy in San Francisco, Sharon Woo, to take over that post, and Iniguez moved into the chief of staff role.</blockquote>
