When you repeal a law that banned loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution, well, what did you think was going to happen? Especially since California and so many Democratic Party run cities do not do anything about people wearing barely anything to nothing in public, performing adult acts in from of children, and just simple moral turpitude
Women wearing thongs in broad daylight on street corners, pimps following mothers taking their kids to school, and prostitutes twerking at traffic have become common scenes in California.
Local leaders claim human trafficking and prostitution are rampant in the Golden State after a new criminal justice reform that its author said aims to protect transgender women from being unfairly targeted by law enforcement.
“It’s absolutely out of control and dangerous — not just for the sex workers but for the community,” San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen told the San Francisco Chronicle this week.
A road in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District has become lined with prostitutes and pimps, prompting city officials to install barricades as residents sound off that not only do they feel less safe – especially at night – but that they are worried about the women working the streets.
I wonder how many people voted for the Democrats that voted to repeal the law, and are surprised and upset over getting what they voted for?
Pimps in Oakland have reportedly stationed prostitutes outside a Catholic grade school, where parents said they walk their kids to school past women wearing next to nothing – or even naked.
“It’s every day, during all periods of the day,” mother Rosa Vargas told ABC 7. Vargas claimed that pimps have even followed Vargas down the street on a couple of occasions. Some of the prostitutes look very young and are likely underage, according to residents and local leaders.
And there’s a huge concern over many of the women being trafficked, but, the cops have their hands tied thanks to the law
Police departments and Republican leaders in the state are pinning blame for the overt prostitution on a new law that went into effect on Jan. 1. Senate Bill 357 repealed a previous law that banned loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution.
“California Democrats’ policy of legalizing crime is creating more victims by the hour,” GOP Assembly leader James Gallagher said in a statement.
“Under Democratic rule, families and businesses are moving out, while human traffickers are moving in,” Gallagher added. “It was clear from the get-go that this law would encourage and enable human trafficking, but that was apparently an acceptable result for the lawmakers who backed it.”
Per that ABC7 article above, it was introduced by State Sen. Scott Wiener because he felt that the law about going after those who had the “intent to engage in prostitution” was disproportionately targeting transgender women. So, to protect a tiny, tiny segment of the population, SB357 has now increased visible prostitution, put them in front of schools and children, made communities unsafe, and increase human trafficking. He and interest groups supported the repeal of the intent law, never really truly considering the effects, because that’s what Democrats do
But Los Angeles police sources who spoke to Fox News Digital said the law is “definitely” handcuffing them from cracking down on prostitution. The police said that because of the reform they can only make arrests if a suspect admits to prostitution, which they said is a rarity.
Don’t expect the loony tunes Democrats who run the government in full to do a damned thing. There will just be more people leaving the cities, at least those who can afford to.
