LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva slams woke DA George Gascon for rising crime ...

The Los Angeles's district attorney, George Gascon has been criticized for his liberal approach to crime.

He came to office with promises of sweeping criminal justice reforms that critics say put the interests of criminals before the safety of the community, 

There have been numerous instanced where his 'soft on crime' approach has led to terrible consequences for the victims of crime.  

Brianna Kupfer, 24, was murdered in January at a Los Angeles furniture store where she was working. 

Her alleged killer Shawn Laval Smith, 31, was tracked down in Pasadena a day after the Los Angeles Police Department named him as the top suspect in the random, unprovoked slaying. 

Smith - who reportedly has a rap sheet spanning two coasts - was out on bail when he allegedly stabbed Kupfer to death.

One week before the killing, Smith was arrested and charged with violent crimes in at least three states. 

At the time of Kupfer's murder, he was free on a $50,000 bond after allegedly firing a weapon toward an occupied vehicle in Charleston, South Carolina, in November 2019. 

Jonathan Hatami, a veteran Los Angeles County prosecutor who has been an outspoken critic of Gascon and even sued him for retaliation last year, hit out at his boss in the wake of Kupfer's killing,

He argued that his progressive policies are failing the community, and that he deserves to be voted out, along with other 'woke' DAs in cities with rising crime rates. 

'So now you have a large group of people who are out of custody, who are committing thefts, who are addicted to drugs… who are not being held accountable for their actions,' he said. 'And now they're preying on innocent individuals.' 

The city has also suffered a shocking wave of follow-home robberies and organized smash-and-grab attacks on retailers. 

Brianna Kupfer, 24, was stabbed to death in a random attack last Thursday while she was working alone in a luxury furniture store in Los Angeles. She had texted a friend to say someone in the shop was 'giving her a bad vibe'

In another incident highlighting Gascon's 'soft' policies, last month, transgender pedophile Hannah Tubbs was caught bragging about her light sentence in a juvenile facility.

Tubbs was sentenced to two years in jail for molesting a 10-year-old girl inside a restaurant bathroom.

After the top prosecutor became aware of troubling comments Tubbs made in jail - including that she wouldn't have to register as a sex offender and that 'nothing' would be done to punish her - Gascon said he's rethinking his approach.

'It's unfortunate that she gamed the system,' Gascon told the Los Angeles Times. 'If I had to do it all over again, she would be prosecuted in adult court.'

However, his critics say his apparent remorse is just a public stunt as recall efforts against him
