Kimberly Bankston-Lee, with the anti-smoking group Breathe California, agrees that coldcocking a cop isnt the best way to quit cold turkey.
I have to agree with this statement. If I can't whack the next skell I lock up in order to vent my cigarette cravings, then I sure as heck don't want him or her whacking me.

Can we coldcock an ANTZ? Preferably BEFORE they get near a microphone? Oh, wait, I've got vapes, don't need to get locked up to quit stinkys.
Maybe we should send her e-cigs care of CBS news? Along with some CASAA literature of course.
Doesn't California release criminals from jail early
simply because the jails are over crowded and
the state is broke and can't afford the cost?
That is Affirmative.
If she got 63 Days, she will do About 1/2 of that.

BTW - The CA is Broke, like Most States. But the Reason the do Early Release is Overcrowding. No One in California wants to have a New Prison/Jail built in their County.
So Criminals Roam the Streets.
You have to realize that due to lobbying by the prison guards union, we keep massive numbers of people in prison that would have been out in other states. Especially people of color. I have a nephew who has spent years in and out for 1 check fraud 15 years ago. Because they send him back for 4 months every time he fails a blood test for a certain other smoke, and at random other times. He once spent 9 months in (as a minor) for a robbery committed by a 35-year-old man, because it is a felony to get arrested when you are on probation, even if the witness shows up in court and says the cops must be nuts to arrest a skinny 16-year-old with long straight hair when he described a grizzled 35+-year-old with dreads. (You can cut dreads off but you cannot comb them out!) So they kept him in AFTER he was cleared on the grounds that he had violated probation by being arrested again.
So besides for my nephew who has done all that time for WWB (Walking While Black) I've had 2 other friends get false drug convictions, 1 because he was arrested for not being able to walk a straight line in public while on prescription pain pills for a recent accident where he cracked 4 vertebrae in his neck. He tried to plead not guilty in drug court, but they don't ALLOW that in CA anymore. You have to plead guilty and pay $4000 for a drug treatment program, and if you don't have the money then the conviction stays on your record.
There are scary gangs here, but there are also scary prosecutors -- I have also known 2 people who got tired of claiming they were not guilty after losing their jobs and spending months in and out of jail, so they pleaded nolo contendre and got records, then back to the probation scam, where you can be arrested for just existing.
I know this sounds like I have a lot of lowlife friends but actually I don't. I DO have friends who are people of color, and now that cops have been getting away with messing them up, they are now going after white folks with tatoos and piercings, anybody who cannot afford lawyers. The San Jose Mercury News exposed prosecutorial misconduct in my county that is STILL reverbrating -- they lie to judges in order to keep people in long-enough to give up and plead out. Two have been disciplined for it, one had disbarment hearings, I don't remember how that turned out.
Yes, we have criminals roaming the streets -- for two reasons. 1. Guess who the prison guards would rather keep in? The non-violent offenders. They make their job easier. So every time there is a forced release, "mistakes" are made and the violent ones get released while the non-violent ones STAY IN.
And 2. the police, prosecutors, and parole officers are manufacturing criminals. If they paid 5% as much attention to the white Phil Garrido as they pay to black teenagers (in towns where they do NOT have black gangs!) Jaycee Dugard would have been freed in less than a year.
We need to make a big switch in WHO we keep in, and make it illegal to test for "the other leaf" -- 75 % of the time my nephews served was for failing blood tests. And we need to cut down on the high-stakes prosecution of non-gang people so that our police and probation officers can pay attention to the actual bad guys -- who are running loose gunning down children while the cops chase down bicycle thieves to prosecute for Grand Theft.
