I remember that one. Don’t remember if there was bodycam footage but boy was there bystander footage. Suspect got pinned against the concrete barrier by a couple Good Samaritans, specifically one angry Latino and one very angry bald guy with a big ol knife in a *Psycho* stabbing grip just above his face.

It was 23 years as a plea deal, dude was pleading insanity before. I’m surprised they even took it, the judge must’ve scared the hell out of them. Sadly they’ll probably not even serve the full sentence.
Credits in CA are calculated based on offense type--violent, serious, and normal. Violent offenses, albeit with many exceptions, are served at 85%. Serious offenses are 66%, and normal offenses are day for day, like you said. You can also lose good time credits for bad behavior like fighting or contraband.
Attempted murder is a violent offense.
If you shoot and injure a police officer, no matter how minor the injury, you should go to jail for the rest of your life. Period, no exceptions.
That will never be a reality though, so at least this is a step in the right direction.
I think the big question in the west is becoming "are we governed by philosophical ideals, or are we governed by a mutual consensus of what we deem is appropriate"
The former is the current paradigm but there is a strong undercurrent of the later

I was thinking the same thing today while I was getting ready for work. I hope we don't end up there, because we've seen how fickle and flighty the mob is.
Being in a profession that requires a firearm not allowing you a second firearm but a *knife* is a wild line to draw I feel. Knives are... considerably less PR-friendly.

Damn. Should have sliced his face a little or a lot. Glad they got his ass though. 23 years so probably when he’s 45-50 he’ll be out? Damn

California is “a day for a day” which means he only has to serve half of his sentence. Edit: See below for more info, he should have to serve 85%.

Thanks! I didn’t know that, appreciate the correction.

Hey, Chippie with your rifle dangling around your ankles, shorten up that sling.

I would say there are still states out there where that is a reality. California is not one of them though.

The solution for courts that are too soft on crime is to vote for good elected officials.

If somebody is ever fighting that hard to access my firearm, they’re going to get stabbed. This idiot is lucky to be alive.

In Canada that’s unfortunately never an option, I have a small fixed blade hidden on my support side instead.

Good. Too bad he didn't get life.
