Black Robin Hood who eliminates the poor?

I wonder what ethnicity his victims were.

3 guys killed at a cemetery.

Sheriff Chad Bianco doesn't mince words, although CNN buried them at the bottom of the article:
"It's no secret that crimes with drugs are going up. Across the state, crimes involving drugs and gangs are going up and it's completely related to the horrible laws that are being passed and the horrible propositions that were voted in and now we're suffering the consequences for that," Bianco said.

As far as I know, it is.

I cannot find data to support the officer's assertion, other than a very small uptick in violent crime.

Can't help but think the illegal weed market, with a bad actors involved with it, took a big hit when it was legalized.

Right. Which probably has short term effects of violence as their market shrinks, or they try to shift to other markets/territory. But long term should be a win.

Well, not to discount your theories about weed, but cops in Cali have been pretty supportive of legalized weed. Weed there has been legal for years, so we're past short term violence.

So this is gang or hard drug violence.

Based upon the victims' names I'd say they're all Hispanic males. California leads the charge in allowing illegals safe passage, homes, freebies, and apparently committing crimes without consequence.

Thus, I'd say that's what he's referring to...

Point being, that guy probably wants illegals gone and figures there will then be less gang violence.

Dave Chapelle says the police sprinkle crack on people they shoot. Probably skews the numbers.

Wrong. They only sprinkle crack on black people. Since these guys were Mexican...
