Via Red State comes news that, in Gavin Newsom’s world, ticketing jaywalkers is, wait for it….wait…..wait, RAAAAACIST!
As reported by Breitbart, California’s new, AB 2147, known as the “Freedom to Walk Act” — you can’t make this stuff up — takes into consideration the “cultural differences” between Californians who are deferential to laws governing pedestrian traffic and tend to obey “don’t walk” signals, and urban dwellers who are notoriously defiant when it comes to crossing against traffic signals.
The bill’s sponsor, Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco), celebrated the governor’s action in a statement on Friday:
It should not be a criminal offense to safely cross the street. When expensive tickets and unnecessary confrontations with police impact only certain communities, it’s time to reconsider how we use our law enforcement resources and whether our jaywalking laws really do protect pedestrians. Plus, we should be encouraging people to get out of their cars and walk for health and environmental reasons.
Racial Obsession Syndrome is a terrible malady people. Wonder if using too many hair care products contributes to it?
