> dems made small value crimes not felony

Are you seriously blaming the Democrats for the invention of misdemeanour crimes? Or for adjusting the threshold between misdemeanour and felony according to inflation?

Texas has misdemeanour theft to a far higher threshold than California… oops.

Stop watching Fox News.

texas has ccw, so citizens can protect themself if carjacked on gas station.

How is that relevant? GP was talking about the threshold for misdemeanor vs. felony crimes, and the fact that the threshold is higher in Texas than in California.

Criminals will do more crimes if they not stopped by measures. Measures can be punishment and police enforcement or citizens being able to self defend. In California dems are aggressively reducing both.

This is your conspiracy theory version of you got from conservative media. They're using perception of crime as a wedge issue, just like they used to do with abortion, or do currently with gay and trans bashing. They won't do anything different, and certainly nothing that works better. They just want you angry and afraid.

I don't watch conservative media, I just see more and more posts on r/bayarea about carjacking or blantant assaults and robbery, then I was thinking about buying gun and applying for ccw, and found about SB2 bill which prohibits ccw in most reasonable places.
