President Barack Obama has been repeatedly criticized for his soft stance on crime. And his tolerance for lawlessness has found a prophet in liberal California Gov. Jerry Brown.
Lonnie Franklin Jr., a California series killer dubbed the “Grim Sleeper,” was sentenced to death row Wednesday for the murders of nine women and one teenage girl.
But Obama crony Brown will practically guarantee that this savage serial killer never has to actually face the music.
Franklin, 63, was convicted in a string of killings from 1985 to 2007 in a Los Angeles neighborhood ravaged by the crack cocaine epidemic.
His gunshot and strangling victims were found dumped in seedy alleys, wrapped in carpets or hidden under discarded mattresses.
His final victim, Janecia Peters, was found by someone rooting through a dumpster who noticed her red fingernail.
Franklin was linked to 14 slayings, including four women he wasn’t charged with killing.
Some residents complained police didn’t thoroughly investigate the slayings because the victims were young, black and poor and many were drug users and prostitutes.
Now their 30-year quest for justice will face its worst enemy — California liberals like Brown.
If Franklin was facing justice in a conservative state like Texas, one could imagine they’d be preparing the noose today. But since California reinstated capital punishment in 1978, the state has executed only 13 of the 850 criminals juries have sentenced to death.
During his tenure as governor, Brown has failed to execute a single death row inmate. Not one. In fact, California hasn’t executed a condemned prisoner since January 2006, when Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor.
Following the last execution, “problems with lethal injection protocols brought the state’s execution machinery to a halt. It has never restarted. In the meantime, California’s death row, by far the largest in the country, has continued to grow, from 646 people in January 2006 to some 750 today. Last year, California officially ran out of space for its condemned prisoners, prompting [Brown] to request $3.2 million from lawmakers to expand its death row cells,” The Intercept reported in January.
As the “Grim Sleeper” was led out of the courtroom Wednesday, family members of the victims began clapping.
Don’t cheer too loudly yet. Lady Justice still has to get past the Democrats.

I saw a commentator on tv once state that only Caucasians commit mass murder. Yet in recent years I have read in the news about non-Whites committing serial murders. I guess labeling or profiling Caucasians is ok.
Of course it’s ok to label Caucasians…if you’re a liberal! Hypocrites!
How old is Jerry Brown? I’m in my mid 50’s and remember as a child that he was governor of California. A very long time ago. His father was Governor in the early 60’s too. Here we are i16 years into the 21st Century and California has the same governor as they did when Nixon was in the White House.
He’s 78 and senile and so are the clowns that voted him back in office!
They are getting what they voted for! California is going to hell thats why we got out!
I did too and I’m glad I don’t live here anymore.
I lived in CALIFORNACATION for 25+ years,,,,,, Covina. But here in AZ We have !!MOONBEAM’S!! here also.. Jeff Flake for one!!!
I lived in Southern CA 54 years and used to love it but moved to AZ in 2004 and have never looked back. The state went to hell.
William, you are right. Jeff Flake is a flake.
I knew Calif. was going to hell in 1990 and I moved the hell out of there in 1991 to beautiful Wash. State , now my quest is to get rid of all the freaky liberals in Wash….
AN I WANT OUT ALSO, WHAT A S$$T HOLE. IM HOPING FOR RENO TO BECOME A SEA PORT TOWN. AND LET SODOM AN GOMORAHH SLIP INTO THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE PACIFIC.
What should we expect from the Granola State; nuts, fruits, and flakes? 😉
So very true. The senile, illegals and the dead all voted for him. He didn’t even campaign the last election, knew he was going to win regardless.
He did a bad job in 1980 and now he is even worse. Immigration is at the worst I ha e ever seen. Crime up in every area. CA has accepted. Refugees and now terrors attacks. Businesses moving out of state because of taxes.. Water is big issue. Obama can give billions of dollars to terrors countries but nothing off our Military and citizens.
TRUMP IS RIGHT ON OBAMA AND HILLARY SETTING OUR COUNTRY UP BY TAKING REFUGEES THAT WERE NOT SCREENED. WHY WAS OBAMA VISITING THESE COUNTRIES THAT ARE OR HAVE DICTATOR. YES! Obama and Hillary are the reason we have ISIS IN THE USA. NO JOBS FOR ALL THESE REFUGEES SO IT’S A TAX BURDEN TO OUR WORMING CLASS.
Jerry Brown was governor once and ruined Ca.Republicans had to restore the Golden State but now the Democrat dumbed down voters elected him again to take down CA.Talk about being STUPID.The Democrat party knows that,Obama and Gruber said so and likewise Hillary said some years ago
add to the list, New York, Illinois etc everything the bastards touch turns to shit. But the real shit in in the skulls of the morons who vote them in, cases in point, Obama, Reed, Pelosi, Holder, Lynch, the list goes on and on.
REPENT BROTHER, THE END IS NEAR
The only way Harry Reid got into Nevada is he told all the Mexicans you they both for him or they lose their jobs he’s in with the clubs and there’s no way we could out boating we tried
Run that past me again?????????????
I’ll add a coupe to your list: Dianne (throw mama from the train) Feinstein, and (Malibu) Barby Boxer
If either of the bobsy twins had a brain, they’d hurt each other,
I remember he was dating Linda Ronstadt years ago when he was 41. Brown is 78 years of age and has served 4 different terms as Govenor. He was elected Govenor for one of his terms in 1974.
You are right and this one POS jerry brown is a disgrace. He is why our state is in such a terrible state of affairs…. I am afraid the democraps are going to control our country from here on out..they are all so crooked that it doesn’t matter who you vote for the vote gets transferred to the democraptic ticket!!!!
They wouldn’t run out of space if they’d execute some of the scumbags!
These clown like O’bozo and Brown et all should be forced to give up their security details (with guns) and live in the free world like the rest of us.
They are wimps, couldn’t handle it.
Chucky, you got that right.
John… well said… and they also need to be subject to all the stupid laws they pass..like ObozoCare. if so, that pos legislation wouldve been DOA ages ago… just more moochers looking to mooch off those whove built successful lives by making certain sane choices
F the brazen disgusting embracement of evil and those who promote it, like Obama, Brown and every mindless immoral democrat Anti God puke in this country
Do liberal democrats condone murder? Sure looks that way, punishment is very light for anyone with money that can contribute to their many evil principles.
As California goes… so goes the nation! (eventually)
Bring back the firing squads. It’s cheaper and always works and is faster and more humane. And with the 7 man teams it will create more jobs then those shovel ready ones we were promised but never saw. In the end you will get the same results. A criminal who broke the law and deserved to die.
Sadly, the real costs is the legal expenses due to the years and decades of court wrangling. We need to make trials and punishments upon conviction swift.
For those worried about miscarriage of justice, and there are some, make laws that punish any officer, detective, technician, prosecutor, or judge who plants, falsifies, intentionally looses, or withholds exculpatory evidence subject to the same penalty their victim got, up to and including execution. Also give victims or their families significant draconian compensation even in cases of simple mistakes. Make it costly for the state to commit acts of injustice.
I agree. Plain and simple. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Add “witness” to that list of those who should receive the same punishment as the criminal if they have done manipulated evidence, etc. Much as I dislike Islam, the Saudis have that law, and I don’t believe they have much problem with people withholding or planting evidence, or lying about anything related to a crime.
Making it costly for the state just financially damages the middle class TaxVictim even further than he/she has already been damaged; perhaps any guilty government employees should be held personally accountable.
Jerry Brown is a fiscal conservative who in his 8 years in office in the 1970’s left California with a reserve of $ 5 Billion, a feat that no Republican governor has ever accomplished. Unfortunately, Jerry Brown has his own demons and vanities, and his lies are huge. Obama and the Clinton Crime Family know he is a pedophile, and being the criminals they are, it’s all normalcy. This is about saving a black person from execution for Obama, and Jerry will comply. What are the lives of 19 people? I am personally opposed to the death penalty because Americans have shown that they are putting hundreds of innocent people into American jails. Over 400 innocent people have been released from Death Row in the past 10 years. That’s sobering that Americans could get it wrong so often. Also, once on Death Row, the appeals last years and cost US Taxpayers hundreds of millions. Better to have no death penalty and leave it at that. Our biggest mistake with prisons is locking up people for possession of cannabis. At one time, 70% of inmates were there for minor drug violations. There are way too many folks in prisons for minor drug crimes who are not dangerous or violent, so let’s reform that area of the law.
I am so sick of this governor! We don’t need more money to add beds to death row! Just need a rope. Enough with the b.s. death row should never have more than one bed! Sentence comes down, hang them immediately. F*** all that appeals b.s.!
What would be the best is to put Jerry Brown in his place and gas him.
O’Hemry (Moonbeam Brown) has prostate cancer. My question is how come it is taking him so long to die!!!!!!!
William-
What would be the best is to put Jerry Brown in his place and gas him.
If you mean to put him in a small prison cell, then have a steady procession of bean dinner Citizens walk by, turn around, and fart in his general direction, i couldn’t agree more.
Just think of all the public funds spent to house, feed, pride gyms and other recreationals, provide better Medical care than many others. and lawyer up these animals.
Give them the justice they deserve. While we are cleaning out, we need send back to their homelands all of those illegal aliens that we have in our prisons.
A woman robbed a bank last week because life was better in prison!
If his Death Sentence is commuted to Life (Mexico calls 25 years Life), parole him to Sacramento or even San Francisco. He will be in his “environment” where he can kill without fear of non-PC punishment..
So much for the president and liberals actually believing black lives matter.
Knowing that almost all of Caif. is going into the ocean fits what comes out of there. I wouldn’t want to live there for any reason. They have hit the garbage dump for the last 40yrs. and every year it has gotten even worse.
Governor Brown evidences the need to place term limits on those who serve the States and Federal Government in elected capacities. So many years in office appears to equip any politician to begin pushing their personal and Party agendas.
This has nothing to do with the Governor. The state and federal courts have invalidated the law. The state is constructing a new execution chamber. Because iof backlogs in the courts, a death penalty appeal in CA takes 10 years or more to reach the CA Supreme Court
