We are now going to talk with Todd Spitzer, Orange County DA.

He and Nathan Hockman have put out a public demand asking Governor Newsom to have a special legislative session to make looting a felony punishable by state prison.

I didn't know that looting was not a felony punishable by state prison. Who knew?

Let's get Todd on here. Todd, this has got to be some kind of joke.

Yeah, well, let me just clarify.

Just it's a little bit of a nuance.

Right now, looting in California is a local jail time.

So you can't go to state prison.

It's still a felony, but it's what we call a wobbler,

which means a judge can reduce it to a misdemeanor. We want to take that

away, make it a state prison charge. We want to make it a strike in California. If you look at the

report, some of these people being arrested have strikes. Well, if you already have a strike,

if it's your third strike, the looting, you can go away for 25 to life.

That's a deterrent, John.

That's what we need, right?

Yes.

We need these criminals to think twice, but they still have the mindset under George Gascon and the Karen Bass State Legislature that nothing happens to you when you hurt good people.
