HORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE

I LOVE A VICTORY LIKE THIS:  FROM FOX:  A Los Angeles County jury awarded $1.5 million to a prosecutor as part of a retaliation lawsuit against District Attorney George Gascon, who faces similar complaints in a series of legal actions.   Shawn Randolph sued Gascon, claiming she was transferred from supervising the DA's juvenile division, and effectively demoted, for speaking out against his policies, which have come under heavy scrutiny from his own prosecutors and elected officials. Randolph previously raised concerns that Gascon's criminal justice reforms could be harmful or unethical.   She was eventually transferred to the parole division.  Her main objection stemmed from policies to reduce charges against underage offenders, even those accused of committing violent crimes, to limit strikes against children.  Gascon faces a dozen similar lawsuits from deputy district attorneys who say they were demoted for publicly raising concerns about his directives. "George Gascón said he didn’t need any experience being a prosecutor because the DA is only a manager," John Hatami said of his boss Monday. "Well George, you are a horrible DA and an even worse manager. You have cost the taxpayers millions of dollars with 17 total lawsuits against you."  "You called DDA’s ‘internal terrorists,’ ‘unfit,’ ‘delusional,’ and ‘hyper partisan,’" he added.   Of all the Soros-assisted district attorneys, Gascon is one of the worst.  Yet, the people of Los Angeles are dumb enough to keep him on, and have just elected hard leftist Karen Bass as mayor.  Some populations deserve what they get.
