Washington State Democrats Push Bill Reducing Penalties for Drive-By Shootings

 Submitted by: Jackie Juntti

f another location had the same weather and Greenery that Western WA has I would move but in my many travels after leaving Washington in 2003 - returning in 2014 - I can't deal with the heat and humidity of the South.  I was shocked at just how far to the FAR LEFT this state had become in the 11 years I was out of state.  INSLEEZE makes Mike Lowry almost look conservative.  I still think it has a lot to do with the many Californians that began moving to Washington in the 1960's.  I want to shout out to Texans to LOOK OUT as they will turn TX into California East.

 

When you look at how the Seattle-King County area has been totally corrupted by the FAR FAR LEFT and then you look at the way Congress has become with the SQUAD - it makes me sick.  Since when can a person come to America under FALSE NAMES  - marry her brother to allow him to enter - and then get elected to serve in Congress?????  Talk about FRAUD!!!

 

On L.T's video this morning he has a segment about getting involved locally - as a Precinct Committeeman - school board  etc.  I had to really push to get an appointment to the Republic Party in Tacoma (Pierce County) in the mid 1990's - as there was no R PCO in my precinct and the head R folks at the county level knew how conservative I was and still am.  They stalled like crazy to keep from giving me the appointment.  After threatening to go to the News with their hold out they finally appointed me to fill the empty position.  I won the next election by a landslide.  If my physical situation was better than it is I would run for the PCO spot here. I will be turning 82 on Jan 2nd so the body is showing its age.

 

If you live in Washington State - PLEASE get involved at every local level available.  We need to stand strong against the demonic forces like INSLEEZE and his administration.  They are no better or different than a military force aiming their guns at you.  This bunch wants to reduce any penalties for the SHOOTERS.

 

Share this with all your friends who live in Washington State.

Washington State Democrats Push Bill Reducing Penalties for Drive-By Shootings

Washington state Reps. Tarra Simmons (D) and David Hackney (D) are pushing legislation to remove drive-by shootings from the list of crimes that elevate first degree to murder to a higher degree of murder carrying a mandatory life sentence.

 

FOX News reports that “drive-by shootings were added to the list of aggravating factors for murder charges in 1995.” At the time, drive-by shootings were one of a number of crimes that would elevate charges and Simmons and Hackney are now working to remove such shootings from the list.

 

The 1995 language that Simmons and Hackney want to specifically strike from the aggravating factors list says: “The murder was committed during the course of or as a result of a shooting where the discharge of the firearm… is either from a motor vehicle or from the immediate area of a motor vehicle that was used to transport the shooter or the firearm.”

 

Simmons says she believes the language surrounding drive-by shootings “was targeted at gangs that were predominantly young and Black.”

 

She added, “I believe in a society that believes in the power of redemption. Murder is murder no matter where the bullet comes from but locking young people up and throwing away the key is not the answer.”

Simmons points to Kimonti Carter as a example of why she wants to remove drive-by shootings from the aggravating factors list. Carter was convicted in a drive-by shooting that left two people dead in 1997. He received a 777-year sentence and Simmons said, “If he had been standing outside of the vehicle at the time, he would’ve faced 240-320 months in prison. Instead, he was sentenced to life in prison with no opportunity for parole because of this law.”

 

770 KTTH points out that Simmons and Hackney’s pushed to strike drive-by shootings from the aggravating factors list is posited as a pursuit of “racial equity in the criminal legal system.”

 

On July 22, 2021, KIRO 7 noted a surge of gun violence in Seattle and quoted Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diazwas saying, “We’ve seen more than a 100% increase in drive-by shootings this year alone.”
