(Opinion)

California Senate Bill 94 has been making waves in the criminal justice landscape, particularly in redefining the parameters surrounding life without parole sentences. After reading this bill I find that Section 1172.5 holds a pivotal role in reshaping the fate of individuals serving life without parole for serious offenses. While in the process reshaping the safety and security of every law abiding person in the country
SB 94
SB 94 is drawing attention for its insane initiative to review cases of individuals sentenced to life without parole, with the goal of potentially allowing them a chance for parole. Focused on rehabilitation and offering second opportunities, this legislation could mark a new beginning for those incarcerated for serious offenses, but also introduce a new level of risk for law-abiding citizens. That means us! It will certainly bring about further anguish for the victims of these criminals to endure, as they would be required to attend parole hearings and relive their pain all over again. In my view, this bill seems to be solely aimed at re-victimizing those whose lives were already shattered by the criminals' actions. I believe that prioritizing the well-being and rights of the victims is paramount over the criminals who forfeited their right to humane treatment in my opinion through their heinous crimes. Life without parole sentences is not handed out lightly people, indicating the severity of the offenses committed. These individuals are not fit to be released and pose a threat to innocent people due to their criminal mindset. Releasing such sociopaths back into society would endanger our communities. This is not an opinion it is proven fact that far too many people seem to be ignoring.
Section 1172.5: Freeing Criminals
The crux of our discussion of SB 94 lies in Section 1172.5, which outlines the terms under which individuals with life without parole sentences can seek parole consideration. By outlining a structured process for considering these cases, the state is paving the way for a more nuanced approach to justice and rehabilitation.
Key Points of Section 1172.5:
Criteria for Eligibility: Individuals must meet specific criteria to be eligible for parole consideration, ensuring that only those deemed fit for reintegration are granted a chance at freedom.
Rehabilitation Focus: The section places a strong emphasis on the offender's rehabilitation efforts and their journey towards remorse and societal reintegration.
Victim Impact Consideration: While highlighting the importance of rehabilitation, the section also underscores the need to consider the impact on victims and their families, ensuring a balanced and holistic approach to justice.
I don't believe the last point is valid because if they were truly taking into account the impact on the victim, they wouldn't be engaging in such foolish behavior, right? Anyhow, here is a list of the criteria and factors they think a judge should consider when determining a sentence.
Now let's expand on this a bit.
I find it puzzling that individuals are being sentenced to LWOP for crimes that authorities claim they will not release prisoners for. This raises the question of who will actually be released. This scenario suggests a hidden agenda that we need to uncover before it impacts our White House, given that California's actions often influence our corrupt regime. Take a look at the mitigating circumstances they present. Almost every criminal worldwide can cite some, if not all, of these circumstances, which partly explains why they are criminals in the first place, doesn't it? And if they do cite these circumstances, how do they plan to prove them to ensure the claim is legitimate and not merely an attempt to gain clemency?
In my opinion, California SB 94 related to Section 1172.5 represents a critical turning point, akin to an event horizon on a steep downward slope. It appears to lack any logical basis presently, suggesting that the intention may be to introduce it later, implying deception by the current corrupt administration. On September 14, 2023, Assembly Member Ash Kalra moved this amendment to an inactive status due to insufficient votes for its advancement within the bill. On August 12, 2024, in the Assembly, Assembly Member Kalra submitted a notice of intent to reactivate the provision, reintegrating it into the text of California SB 94, which is currently under consideration in the assembly as of August 13, 2024.

Having reviewed the details of this bill and addressed a specific section, I find myself with more questions than answers. The purpose of reading through something is typically to bring clarity, but in this case, the document is not coherent. There is no evident practical or logical rationale for these actions, and as previously mentioned, it could lead to potential abuse by re-victimizing families and manipulation by releasing more dangerous criminals onto the streets under the guise of this bill.
A few points to consider.
In what way does this bill contribute to the well-being of society in general? It does not. Instead, it concentrates on broadening the rights and liberties of a tiny fraction of our population, potentially jeopardizing the safety of everyone. Remember; there are only 5000 and some change people who are serving a LWOP sentence in California. This particular group consists of hardened criminals who have committed severe offenses to warrant a LWOP sentence. Do you agree?
When hundreds or even thousands of criminals are released onto the streets with the freedom to do as they please without fear of returning to prison, the result is crime. Even if they do commit new offenses and are returned to prison, they are not deterred because they are familiar with the system and know how to navigate life within it due to their prior experiences. This is evidenced by California's high recidivism rate.
People are not coming out of Californias prisons rehabilitated, not with a recidivism rate this high. The United States actually has the highest recidivism rate in the world so I think it is a pretty good bet that a majority of the people released will offend again and possible with even worse criminal activity.
3. How can criminals reintegrate into society after 25 years in prison if they are institutionalized and lack social skills? Releasing them would most likely lead to increased anti-social behavior. Consider the impact on potential victims.
There is only one plausible explanation for all of this, which became clear to me not as an epiphany: but because of my understanding and knowledge of history. It's a familiar tactic - releasing criminals and the mentally ill from institutions to sow chaos among the population. Given the ideology of Marxism, which is literally founded on conflict to achieve its objectives, it makes perfect sense that this strategy would be advantageous for those in positions of authority who are also authoritarians. In the words of my generation... DUH!
I will close this mind dump out with this. I cannot help but notice the "irony" of the progressives today who are Marxists seeking to close down prisons when it was the Marxists themselves, (the same people) who created the biggest most horrific prison systems in the world. The Soviet Gulags and the Nazi's Concentration camps. So, in my mind at least meaning my common sense tells me that this is likely far more about WHO is locked up in those prisons than the prisons themselves. I mean we are talking about a 7.3-billion-dollar industry in 2023 alone. Do you really think these progressives/Marxists are going to turn their backs on that kind of cash flow? Not on your life! What they will do is use this bill to seize control of the private prison industry and that billions of dollars a year that goes with it. Those empty cells can then be filled with dissidents and other political prisoners. Why do you think Guantanamo Bay is still open and being expanded and updated when the progressives promised to shut it down? Below you will find a documentary of what prisons are like in socialist countries that are under total government control. Our prisons here are daycare centers by comparison.
Alright, I have rambled on a bit because this really pisses me off and I ramble when I get pissed off. Something to think about, until next time. ~Ghost
