I thought I would start a topic where we could report on progress towards the "End of America." As an example here is a news story I saw last night about the DAs in my own county deciding on what they will prosecute or not. The list is quite interesting and I am seeing this going on in other counties and cities in California. Locally another city will be replacing cuts in sheriff patrols with citizen militias. Shades of those old apocalyptic movies, eh? What's happening in your area?
The story: Contra Costa County DA Robert Kochly warned the county's police chiefs in a memo that they would not prosecute certain cases, due to budget cuts. "I am faced with the reality of informing all of our law enforcement partners that we will definitely being doing less with less," according to the memo. Kochly told CBS 5 his office is nearly $6 million in the red, with property tax and state revenues drying up. Six deputy district attorneys will be gone by next week, and another 11 by year's end. Story and video with list of cuts here: http://cbs5.com/local/contra.costa.prosecutions.2.989932.html Excuse me while I go gun shopping.
