According to far right cable news channels he's solely to blame.
"Although recall proponents claim there are no consequences for criminals in L.A. County, records show that during Gascón’s first year in office, prosecutors filed felonies at a near identical rate to what they did during Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey’s two terms as the county’s top prosecutor"

The data that this article is using to defend this guy's policies isn't very useful. It completely ignores the elevated crime in the area of theft and burglary driven by his open announcement that these crimes will go unprosecuted. The resulting looting is a direct consequence.
And prosecutorial rates -- as used to defend this buffoon -- don't take into account the slaps on the wrist that violent criminals are getting. A drugged-up 17-year-old stole a car and ran over a mother and an 8-month-old. Only by sheer luck were they not both killed, along with anyone else. His punishment was 5-7 months in a juvenile probation camp.
A vile repeat-offending sub-human who assaulted a 10-year-old in a restaurant bathroom was given 2 years of probation with no requirement to register on the standard public lists.
And a killer who executed someone in cold blood and given 50 years in prison was set free under the guise of him being a "child" when it happened.
Yes....this idiot's policies are inviting more crime and making the area less safe.
And pretty much walks with no time.
There is a problem.

It's about quality of life as well.
Endemic retail theft, shitting on sidewalks, syringes in playgrounds, homeless everywhere, etc etc. All of this stuff doesn't even register with these Soros DAs.

The misunderstanding is the assumption that these DAs and those who support them want safe communities, but they just want to get there in a different way. They don't. If you despise most of the people you supposedly serve and if you despise the system in which you work, you do not want to serve their interests and you want to destroy that system. These DAs are gratified to see the criminal activities you mention because they believe these are perpetrated against the oppresors in out society by the victims, and these victims are victimized by the system that they believe they are destroying.
But clearly it’s all that guy’s fault.

Broken families lead to broken liives.
It doesn't take a village... it takes balanced parenting.
So I’ll take that bet.

He was referring to Soros sponsored DA's who won't enforce the laws and won't prosecute the criminals if they fit the demographic that they are looking for.

……and no, he is not ALL of the problem, but he is part of it which is really bad for a DA.
