Smash-and-grab robberies are happening in broad daylight at stores throughout California and no one seems to be doing anything to stop them. Two weeks back, a Nordstrom store in the west San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles was attacked by a flash mob of 30 to 50 masked thieves. (Snip) Voters had an opportunity in November 2020 to approve an initiative that would have reformed Propositions 47 and 57 by reclassifying specific crimes to allow tougher penalties. This was Proposition 20. The initiative would have helped undo so much of its predecessors’ damage, but it went down in defeat, 62% to 38%.
