#5 Hochman is cut from different cloth than most of LA's politicians. He was only able to get elected because Gascon was such an obvious disaster that even LA voters couldn't handle it.

#8 For Grom, about the horse assaults, from the article:

Another suspect, 29-year-old Iran Castro, is accused of pulling the bridle of a sheriff’s mounted deputies’ horse and grabbing the reins of another horse at a June 14 protest after being released on her own recognizance for separate felony charges, according to authorities. Castro is charged with two felony counts of assault upon a peace officer, two felony counts of animal cruelty and one felony count of resisting arrest. If convicted, she faces the possibility of up to 10 years and four months in prison.

A second protester is also charged with allegedly assaulting an LASD horse in a separate incident, according to the press release. Authorities have accused 66-year-old Dana Whitson of pushing the animal "several times," before hitting the horse’s muzzle and pulling on its rein at a June 13 protest. Whitson faces the possibility of up to six years and four months in prison if convicted.

#10 So many things never occur to me, SteveS. I was surprised that the master of 100 immunology publications somehow missed the data he was looking for…

#11 I expect them to be charged, prosecuted and given probation. If they dismiss the charges, the Feds can charge them.

#12 I like the de-naturalize method.
Let the 17 y/o find his way in the world.
