Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon isn’t very popular among his underlings. As it turns out, even a blue city like L.A. isn’t too fond of the “woke” approach to addressing crime. But does this signal an end to Gascon’s career, or will this amount to a whole lot of nothing?

The Washington Examiner reports that a majority of the city’s prosecutors want Gascon to lose his job:

The vast majority of members of the association representing Los Angeles prosecutors voted to have their boss, District Attorney George Gascon, recalled from the job he has held for two years.

The Association of Deputy District Attorneys, comprising more than 800 deputy district attorneys in the county, said Tuesday that 98% of its members back recalling Gascon in a vote. The association said 88.3% of the trial attorneys participated in the vote.

Currently, a signature-gathering campaign for a recall election is underway. More than 31 cities in Los Angeles County support the effort to oust the district attorney.

“This vote is by those who are intimately familiar with how Mr. Gascon’s policies actually play out on a day-to-day basis,” said Michele Hanisee, president of the organization. “We believe the vote of our members will resonate with the voters of Los Angeles as they decide whether to recall Gascon from office and restore public safety as the priority of the district attorney’s office.”

The group held the vote after Gascon brushed off a meeting with his attorneys two weeks ago. Instead, he chose to make an appearance with public defenders at a town hall.

From The Washington Examiner:

Shortly after taking office, he posted a list of mandates that reversed decades of tough-on-crime charging and sentencing enhancements that had been overwhelmingly passed by California voters over the years.

One of the most glaring issues people have raised with Gascon’s methods is his stance on prosecuting teenagers as adults. Prosecutors lashed out at him when he kept a 17-year-old child molester in juvenile court to shield him from a harsh sentence. The defendant received a two-year sentence and was not required to register as a sex offender.

The defendant is now a 26-year-old trans woman named Hannah Tubbs. During a phone call, she bragged about getting away with the crime. Fox News reported that on a recorded phone call, she can be heard saying: “I’m going to plead out to it, plead guilty. They’re going to stick me on probation, and it’s going to be dropped — it’s going to be done. I won’t have to register, won’t have to do nothing.”

Gascon has also received criticism for his stances on other critical issues. The Examiner noted:

Gascon has refused additional charges for guns, belonging in a gang, and participating in multiple felonies, which are “strikes” that could lead to life sentences. He reversed a decades-old tradition of sending prosecutors to parole hearings to advocate keeping prisoners behind bars.

It is not yet known whether Gascon will survive the attempt to remove him from his position. His comrade, woke San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin managed to retain his job after a failed recall effort. However, residents of the city have mounted another challenge, and after what happened with the three school board members in the same city, it would not be shocking if Boudin’s days are numbered. The same holds true with Gascon.

If California voters give both Gascon and Boudin their walking papers it will be yet another signal that America rejects progressive policies – especially those related to crime. But the fact that Gascon’s prosecutors wish to fire their boss is telling. Turns out prioritizing dangerous criminals over the people they victimize isn’t quite as popular as they thought.
