Ben Petersen, a spokesperson for the NRCC, is raising alarm over Los Angeles County’s new “zero bail” system, attributing it to “extreme Democrats.” This policy, which allows the immediate release of arrested individuals, is being likened to legalizing crime. Petersen cites a study from Orange County where nearly 40% of inmates released on zero bail reoffended, almost tripling the normal recidivism rates.
Mike Levin’s silence on this issue is viewed by Petersen as an implicit endorsement of the policy. Petersen warns of an impending crime surge in Southern California due to this “insane ‘zero bail’ system,” calling it the “Democrats’ Purge.” The core of Petersen’s message: the zero bail policy poses a direct threat to public safety and requires immediate reevaluation.
This is Democrats’ Purge
Crime is now legal in Los Angeles County thanks to extreme Democrats.
LA County just moved to a dangerous “zero bail” catch-and-release system. Police officers arrest dangerous criminals; extreme Democrats recklessly let them loose.
Meanwhile, Orange County’s DA’s research showed inmates released early or on zero bail committed new crimes at nearly triple normal recidivism rates — nearly 40 percent for zero bail inmates.
“This is the Democrats’ Purge. Crime in Southern California will explode under Democrats’ insane ‘zero bail’ system yet Mike Levin has stayed silent, signaling his tacit support for total lawlessness.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
