The absolute state of liberal-run San Francisco

[Jibartik]

This is why the snopes article is bullshit, IF YOU READ IT.

Prop 47, which California voters approved in 2014, reclassified some minor crimes as misdemeanors instead of felonies, with the intent of reducing what was at the time a severely overcrowded prison population. The aim was also to reduce the number of people serving long sentences and ending up with felony-conviction records for petty crimes.

Prop 47 increased the felony threshold for certain types of theft from $450 to $950 — meaning the simple theft of property valued below $950 is a misdemeanor. It also reduced simple drug possession (possession of drugs without the intent to sell) to a misdemeanor. The claim that Prop 47 is to blame for the incident depicted in the video is representative of misinformation that has been circulating about the law for years, said George Gascón, the former district attorney of San Francisco who is now running for the same position in Los Angeles County and who co-authored Prop 47.

Although the threshold for misdemeanor-versus-felony theft prior to Prop 47 was $450, it’s unclear whether the new law makes any potential difference in the San Francisco case.

IN the actual snopes article, it sys "it's unclear weather the new law makes any potential difference in the cited case.

YET THEY SAY FALSE that prop 47 had any affect on it.

THIS is why people dont listen to each other on the internet, because they site things that directly contradict what the thing they site claims.

What an absolute garbage website snopes has become (or maybe always was?)
