Rape Is Not That Bad After All!

Let's follow up on this. It's a very important change in the law that will have serious repercussions.

But that wasn't your original claim. Your original claim was that this proposition reclassifies rape, domestic violence, and numerous other terrible crimes as non-violent.

It turns out that this was factually incorrect; it doesn't reclassify any crimes. I provided the full text of the proposition and invited you to show where this reclassification appears and you were unable to do so. We can all read the proposition for ourselves and we can all see that your claim was a lie.

Here is that original claim:

The good (goofy) people of California have spoken; we want rape.
Some violent felonies that are now reclassified as nonviolent include rape of an unconscious person or use of a date rape drug, domestic violence, exploding a destructive device with intent to cause injury and assault with a deadly weapon.

You also claimed (or at least very strongly implied) that this reclassification of rape as non-violent was hidden inside the text of the proposition which was disguised using a misleading title and if only people had read the actual proposition they wouldn't have voted for it. Yet I did read it, I invited you to do so as well, and invited everyone here to see for themselves. Reading it proves that your claim was completely made up and the proposition does not reclassify rape or any other crime. I allowed for the possibility that maybe you didn't read it yourself and were simply deceived by others. But you swore after being challenged that you did, in fact, read it. This forces me to the conclude that you knew it doesn't reclassify any crimes but decided to spread that lie here anyway (which is a bit ironic given your nick is truthatallcost).

Here you are making that claim:

So why didn't voters bother to learn about what they were voting for? I did.

California Propositions commonly use BS names and BS descriptions by those trying to pass BS Propositions. If Californians were too busy playing Xbox to read the Voter Handbook that every Californian received via mail then they should have left the propositions empty on their ballots and just voted for Hillary and Weeeeed.

Here is the full text of that proposition minus the boiler plate language and the sections dealing with minors for those new to this topic:
SEC. 32. (a) The following provisions are hereby enacted to enhance public safety, improve rehabilitation, and avoid the release of prisoners by federal court order, notwithstanding anything in this article or any other provision of law:
(1) Parole consideration: Any person convicted of a non-violent felony offense and sentenced to state prison shall be eligible for parole consideration after completing the full term for his or her primary offense.
(A) For purposes ofthis section only, the full term for the primary offense means the longest term of imprisonment imposed by the court for any offense, excluding the imposition of an enhancement, consecutive sentence, or alternative sentence.
(2) Credit Earning: The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall have authority to award credits earned for good behavior and approved rehabilitative or educational achievements.
(b) The Department ofCorrections and Rehabilitation shall adopt regulations in furtherance of these provisions, and the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall certify that these regulations protect and enhance public safety


As everyone can see there is no reclassification of any crimes in this proposition.


Would you like to take your original claim back or will you continue insisting that this bill reclassifies numerous crimes despite the fact we can all see that this is not true?
