Well if the gangsters see no difference between 10 years and 40, bring back the death penalty, and see if that helps

LA has become a hotbed for follow home robberies. Gangs are committing them, but DA Gascon says penalizing them for being gang members is useless.

“Distinguished by their coordination and brutality, the attacks target people leaving upscale restaurants, hotels or posh clubs. The perpetrators often send “spotters” — individuals who look for well-dressed people with expensive jewelry, luxury cars or Rolex watches — to alert other gang members who entrap the victims.”

Gascon’s office sent a statement maintaining that they are “deeply concerned” about follow-home robberies and asserting that asking if their office’s policies could be contributing to the violent crime wave is “dishonest and preposterous.”

“No one is saying: I would commit a crime because I might get a 10 or 20-year sentence, but I won’t do it if I will get a 40-year sentence,” wrote a spokeswoman for Gascon’s office. “People are worried about getting caught, and we are working with our law enforcement partners to make sure that happens.”
