Key California Assembly committee blocks bill to make child trafficking a 'serious felony'

SB14 Blocked

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers in the Assembly Public Safety Committee on Tuesday blocked a measure that would have classified human trafficking of a minor as a serious felony under state law, an effort that attempted to keep repeat offenders behind bars and make them ineligible to be released from prison early. The measure was halfway through the state's legislative process, having cleared the State Senate unanimously with broad, bipartisan support. None of the six Democrats on the Assembly Public Safety Committee were willing to cast a vote on the measure Tuesday. Republican Assemblymen Juan Alanis and Tom Lackey were the bill's only yes votes.

I have been searching for more on this to explain or help me understand why someone would vote against this. All I have found (including in this article) is "we already have enough laws on the books" but no in-depth explanation.

Opponents of the measure, including the Ella Baker Center, have said the state already has laws in place to keep traffickers in prison for a significant amount of time. The Assembly Public Safety Committee Chairman, Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer, D-Los Angeles, said in Tuesday's hearing more prison time would not address the root of the problem.

The article goes on to say this committee seemingly have a record of rejecting important legislation:

The Assembly Public Safety Committee and its leader, Jones-Sawyer, received criticism this year after refusing to hear fentanyl-related public safety bills. The committee has also rejected other measures that would increase penalties for domestic violence offenders, rapists of developmentally disabled children and other sexually violent crimes.

Why isn't this a topic more people are passionate about?!? Is child and human trafficking only considered a "far right conspiracy" now?
Why aren't people protecting children?
Why don't we know who Epstein and Maxwell's clients are?!?

Sorry, my bad for accidentally posting OP from my temp account for when ATS was on the fritz...

Also trying to understand how this committee can kill a bill? Does anyone understand CA politics in this regard? I haven't found anything so far but also am slammed at work....

It sure as hell doesn't stop them from passing insane gun laws, over and over again...

IMHO child trafficking should be a capital felony. They should stipulate that if you are convicted of child trafficking and after all appeals are done, the mode of execution should be a bullet to the back of the head.

These "soft on crime" types of policies are endangering vulnerable populations & emboldening violent criminals.

And now California legislators want to endanger the most vulnerable population, children. To what end?

These people are deranged and sick, thank God I don't live in California, nor will I want to ever visit again it's bad enough what my own state taxes & federal taxes are going towards.

What lunatics are voting for and re-electing these people? Who supports this crap?

If we drop away all the curtains and just look .

No Politics , No Party loyalties just objective Facts .

The southern Border is wide open and this is the new golden age of sex trafficking in America , Rich people get very bored because they have nothing but time and Money.

Human Flesh is their entertainment , Particularly young human Flesh.

Not the back of the head...their reproductive organs should be shot off. Then they are put in prison for the rest of their life, AND, they should have to work all day to pay for room and board. No working? No laundry, showers or decent food...grool will suffice.

Oh, and, general population.

He's right about that; prison time can't reform someone with this sick mindset. There's only one treatment that's known to be effective.

It's called 'Vote by Mail' and relies on Dominion voting machines to do the rest.

Making child trafficking a serious felony, because apparently some felonies aren't very serious?

Make it a felony punishable by public execution, the most effective deterent

Self reporting California AGAIN

Main import; kids, main export; Sex in fused propagandist drivel

I guess the ones that voted to block it want a quick "get out of jail card" for later. Keep an eye on them, computers are probably loaded with kiddy-porn and they probably have offshore investments in child trafficking ops.

But they are debating a bill that would require race to be considered in mandatory judicial sentences.

CA has had elections rigged for a while now, and it's getting worse.

Kamala defeated another liberal minority woman to take Barbara Boxers seat. The was NO GOP or third parties on the ballot and you can't do a write in.

So can we say that democrats are in favor of child sex trafficking now?

Because I'll just bookmark this thread for future reference.

Get caught trafficking children. Die. Enough said. Every time. No excuses. Dead.

librals never cease to amaze me at the level of their retardati0n.

the internati0nalists are destr0ying not just our Republik, but the world before our eyes.

i wonder if people will take up a rebellli0n to stop them.

would be glorious, for the sake of the children.

and for your childrens children, who will live as a dyst0pian slavve if not.

It defies logic, just like everything else. It's their motto - "DEFY LOGIC", It's written in green lipstick on their bathroom mirrors to remind them every morning. Every single politician & govt employees in the US, has one job and that is to DEFY LOGIC.

Until we can't take it anymore.

Absolutely! Everything that's been done so far to enable child sex slavery has been enacted by them, either purposefully or by inaction. Many people like to believe they aren't at fault because they didn't actually push the button or vote "yes". But by doing nothing, they have allowed the button pushers carte blanc and all are now paying the price as will the children.

Besides, one is either for or against. There really is no middle ground here.

I can't believe anyone could reference Gavin Newsome as a candidate for president. LOOK AT HIS STATE AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

You think the rest of the nation is widely acceptive of this crap, as in "so goes California, so goes the nation" ???!!

Well, I guess some would seeing how so many people seem to be off on their own mental adventures, self-medicating with self-delusion and blaming their problems on 18th century issues.

There isn't a chance in fiddly-dee Newsome would win without some incredible gymnastics. Seeing how this is clown world, that is expected however.

They elected a pedophile. It's becoming more clear who/what Democrats are. They are pedophile sympathizers. Call it exactly what it is.
