California Democrat Rushes to Amend Bill That Would Limit Self-Defense

California Democrat Rick Zbur (D-Hollywood) is rushing to amend a bill that could have often have made homeowners' self-defense unlawful.

www.breitbart.com

The bill, AB 1333, “would eliminate certain circumstances under which homicide is justifiable, including, among others, in defense of a habitation or property. The bill would additionally clarify circumstances in which homicide is not justifiable, including, among others, when a person uses more force than necessary to defend against a danger,” according to the official summary of the legislation.

The bill would require homeowners to have “exhausted every reasonable means to escape such danger other than the use of force likely to cause death or great bodily injury” before acting in self-defense using deadly force.




A “Community Notes” comment on Zbur’s post added:

“Assemblymember Zbur introduced that bill when he explicitly intended to limit the right to defend their home.”

Moreover, Kyle Rittenhouse did not “provoke” the violence that led to the August 2020 encounter in which he shot three people and killed two during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin. After a lengthy trial, the jury acquitted Rittenhouse on all counts, agreeing unanimously that he had acted in self-defense.


Morons gonna moron.

even under their definition Rittenhouse would have been covered.

Rittenhouse didn't start the violence.
Rittenhouse ran away.
3 men chased him down, and got him on the ground, and hit him. seems like he had exhausted every peaceful means of escape, and was undergoing bodily harm from deadly weapons.
then Rittenhouse fired. 3 shots, 1 bullet each. hard to argue that was more force than necessary.

And one of the shots was to the arm.

I will never understand the left's obsession with demonizing Rittenhouse.

you never lose the right to self defense just because you traveled 20 miles or crossed a stateline. it was a completely asinine argument from the start.

$50K for DEI Trainings, $5 Mil for Graffiti Removal, and No Rail Line: How California's High-Speed Rail Project Has Burned Through Taxpayer Cash​

'This project belongs in the graveyard of boondoggles,' says former state senator who helped form California's High-Speed Rail Authority​

When the Trump administration announced it was investigating California's long-troubled high-speed rail project, the top official overseeing it pressed back. Though the project has more than tripled in price to $106 billion, the official said that "every dollar is accounted for."

While the money is indeed accounted for, that accounting does not paint a rosy picture for the Golden State. State audits over the past 15 years, which the Washington Free Beacon reviewed, have found a litany of wasteful and bizarre spending and financial commitments, ranging from $177,000 for PoliticoPro subscriptions to $5 million for graffiti removal. One company received more than $50,000 to head diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, while active environmental service contracts total $537 million.

The high-speed rail project launched in 2008. It promised to offer 220 mph trains between Los Angeles and San Francisco, with an estimated completion date of 2020 for $33 million. Construction didn't begin until 2015. Since then, no track has been laid, no stations have been built, and there's no estimate on when it will be finished. Even the shorter-term goal that Gov. Gavin Newsom (D.) announced in 2019—a 171-mile rail in the Central Valley—will likely miss its 2033 deadline, according to the project's inspector general.

Common Sense Prevailed: California Democrat Withdraws Anti-Self-Defense Bill AB 1333 After Public Backlash – Blames Misinformation

Common sense has prevailed after a Californian Democrat who sponsored a bill that essentially banned self-defense during a home invasion bent the knee and withdrew his proposal. The bill received a…

“Unfortunately, misleading information has fueled fear and confusion about the bill,” he said. “I have decided to withdraw AB 1333 from further consideration, once it is referred to [the] committee on Thursday and has been amended to clarify items that caused confusion.”

No confusion you're an idiot.

Some people have to learn the very hard way. That state is so far gone that nothing but a total reset will fix it.

I only care because I do not think taxpayers around the country should have to continue to bail out stupid decisions and wasteful spending of California lawmakers.

FEMA Fraud: 20 Times More Applicants than Homes in Los Angeles Fires

FEMA has received 270,000 applications from purported homeowners in the recent L.A. fires -- though only abut 13,000 homes were destroyed.

"LOS ANGELES, California — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has received 270,000 applications from purported homeowners in the recent L.A. fires — though only abut 13,000 homes were destroyed."

Sounds like the fraudsters forgot to call each other.

California Dems nervous about Republicans speaking out — and possibly losing control

California’s Democratic politicians like to say they’re leading the nation and the world with their bold, brave policies, but lately it looks like they’re trailing the parade.

nypost.com

"Other Assembly Republicans were removed from their committees after such “offenses” as opposing the bullet train, warning that the state’s mishandling of the insurance crisis will cause premiums to rise 200% or more, and attempting to ban the use of nondisclosure agreements in the legislative process. Yes, California lawmakers sign NDAs about legislation."


Wow

CA gained 76% fewer jobs in 2024 than estimated, grew just 0.3%

(The Center Square) — Updated federal data shows California gained 76% fewer jobs in 2024 than initially estimated, gaining only 60,000 jobs, instead of the earlier announced 250,000 jobs.

www.thecentersquare.com

“The corrected data show that the state added just 60,000 jobs between September 2023 and September 2024. The monthly jobs report, which the administration and the Legislature relied on to gauge the economy during that period, showed the labor market growing steadily, appearing to add more than 250,000 jobs over that period,” wrote the state-funded Legislative Analyst’s Office. “Actual job growth for the year was 0.3 percent, compared to the 1.5 percent growth initially reported via the preliminary survey.”

Just like a Bidung jobs report.
