Recently, freight trains that were parked were getting looted. Millions of dollars of goods were carted off or thrown on the ground. The railway company has been demanding that action be taken, and criminals actually be prosecuted. Gascon\u2019s answer to all this? He blamed the railroad for the problems. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n In December 2021, Adrian Guerrero, UP’s state director of public affairs in California, sent a letter to the district attorney pointing to rising retail theft crime in LA County over the past year as part of the reason train thefts were occurring more frequently and asking for assistance in addressing it on UP railroads. UP says it experienced a 160% increase in criminal rail theft in Los Angeles County over the past year. <\/b><\/p>\n Last week, UP urged\u00a0Gascon to “reconsider” Special Directive 20-07, which allows many misdemeanor cases to be declined or dismissed prior to arraignment unless “factors for considerations” exist.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n This is a major issue and affects the entire country. <\/b><\/p>\n Gascon is one of the Soros prosecutors. Their goal is dead opposite of what their job description is. They are putting criminals back out on the street, emboldening them to do even worse. By rights, there should be a police presence when these trains are parked, and when the looters come in, they should be swarmed and arrested. Sadly, thanks to George Gascon and others like him, the police see no point in risking themselves. As for Gascon? Here is his response.<\/p>\n Gascon, however, said UP filed fewer criminal cases to the district attorney’s office in 2021 than it did in 2020 or 2019. <\/b><\/p>\n “In 2019, 78 cases were presented for filing. In 2020, 56 cases were presented for filing. And in a sharp decline, in 2021, 47 such cases were presented for filing consideration, and over 55% were filed by my office,” Gascon said in his letter to UP. “The charges filed included both felony and misdemeanor offenses alleging burglary, theft and receiving stolen property.” <\/b><\/p>\n Gascon continues t make excuses of course.<\/p>\n Gascon added that out of 20 cases that were declined, 10 “were not filed due to the insufficiency of the evidence presented to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, which is our ethical standard to file a criminal case.” The other 10 were not filed because they “involved offenses such as allegations of unhoused individuals within 20 feet of the railroad tracks and simple possession of drugs for personal use \u2014 not allegations of burglary, theft or tampering.” <\/b><\/p>\n The Railroad does have it\u2019s own police force, but they are also operating under the same guidelines as the LAPD and LA Sheriff’s Department. To put it simply, they can\u2019t just shoot the looters. This fiasco has national implications. These are packages that have been shipped in to the port of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Currently, we\u2019re having major supply train issues, most of which can be laid at the feet of the politicians who continue to lock things down, using the China Virus as an excuse. I\u2019ve hear a rumor that both trucking companies and the railroads are threatening not to go into Kalifornistan until the political class of Moonbats fixes all the problems they caused.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
