Democrats, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, are pretending to be outraged about their old pal, Jeffrey Epstein, meanwhile Newsom’s parole board is freeing full on child rapists and molesters who make Epstein look like nothing.
Last month, in Gov. Newsom Frees the Worst Child Rapists in America, I wrote about a few horrifying cases.
Funston became notorious for luring children as young as four years old in Sacramento into his car with candy and dolls then raping them. A little girl had a knife held to her throat while he raped her so badly she bled. One 5-year-old girl was raped, beaten and left by the side of the road. He raped a little boy and kidnapped two sisters, 4 and 5, before he was finally stopped.
Funston was known as “the monster parents fear the most” and was sentenced to three life terms in prison in 1999. But in 2020, even as he was having surfers arrested and small business owners shut down, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 3234 into law which took the state’s already generous ‘elder parole law’ and redefined ‘elder’ as being any criminal over the age of fifty.
Now, Funston, who was convicted of 16 counts of kidnapping and child molestation, is being granted ‘elder parole’ under Newsom’s law to the horror of the children he once abused.
Newsom pretended that he had nothing to do with it even though it was his appointees to the parole board doing the dirty work with the law that he signed off on.
And more monsters are being freed.
Meet Gregory Vogelsang. He kidnapped/lured and molested 5 young kids, one as young as 3 years old. He was sentenced to 355 YEARS TO LIFE for sexually assaulting children. A jury convicted him of 23 counts of forcible lewd acts on young boys.
Now Newsom’s parole board wants to set him loose.
Democrats used to bewail how the Dukakis presidential campaign was brought down by Willie Horton. At this point a Willie Horton wouldn’t even register. Democrats have done everything possible to dismantle the criminal justice system, first eliminating the death penalty, then eliminating life sentences and then freeing the worst criminals.
I’m baffled how inept Republicans have been at making this a national story.
