On Tuesday, progressive Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon moved to disband the Parole Division Bureau of Prosecution Support Operations, whose job it is to notify victims of crime when a parole hearing is scheduled for the perpetrator.
The George Soros-backed DA told members of the group that they will continue working through October, but that starting in November, there will not be “any forthcoming assignments.” As Los Angeles Magazine reports , Gascon said he felt it was “not appropriate” for prosecutors to inform victims and their families about their assailants’ parole hearings.
His office argued that the task is better handled by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).
“After consulting with victim experts, we do not believe this is a trauma-informed approach,” Gascon’s team told LA Mag. “Contacting victims and their next of kin can be very triggering, especially if they do not welcome the intrusion.”
“We consulted with the CDCR and they have advised and confirmed that it is their responsibility to contact victims who have registered for notifications and provide information and support to those victims.” LA County Deputy DA Ryan Erlich took to Twitter to share his displeasure.
Gascon “has done a bunch of terrible things since Dec. 2020,” he wrote. “But turning his back on the families of victims of violent crime is beyond callous.”
“If he had EVER tried a homicide, he would know that we have a moral duty to, at least, support those folks at parole hearings.”
The move comes just over a year after Gascon nixed a long-standing policy allowing prosecutors from the DA’s office to attend parole hearings to argue against the early release of offenders.Gascon’s tenure as DA has been polarizing, with many calling out his soft-on-crime approach. Earlier this month, a campaign seeking to recall Gascon reached over 700,000 signatures, enough to […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
