California Republicans staged a rally on the steps of the State Capitol in Sacramento on Thursday to mobilize public opposition to radical “criminal justice reform” policies that, they say, have led to a crime wave throughout the state.

Public outrage against crime has often focused on left-wing prosecutors, who are often backed by billionaire Democrat donor George Soros. But left-wing laws have also played a part.

Many of those in attendance came to oppose SB 553, introduced by State Sen. Dave Cortese (D-Cupertino), which would prohibit employers from requiring employees to confront shoplifters. The bill has already passed the State Senate and is moving though the State Assembly.
