apparently, you did not read the article.

It passed in the Senate. After a bill passes the senate, Schoolhouse Rock tells us that it then goes to the lower chamber (called the “assembly“ in California).

In the lower chamber, it again goes through committee, before it again goes to the floor. For whatever reason, the bill was temporarily killed in committee in that second chamber. The bill is still subject to reconsideration.

To be clear, the trafficking in question is already a felony under California law. What this bill would have done is add trafficking (not a capital felony) to a list of capital felonies for purposes of the California recidivism law. (That is a somewhat simplified explanation.)

it is entirely possible that someone looked at this legislation and said “trafficking is really bad, but it’s not nearly as bad as murder.“

School House rock... yeah, I must have missed that episode.

For society, its worse

If you understood cause/effect, you wouldn't struggle with this

Spoken like a true groomer

It is not entirely unreasonable for a legislator to think that the State need not treat trafficking the same way that it treats murder.


Yep, this groomer is going to groom

I doubt that. The bill would have added the measure to the three strikes law. Thus the equivalence is not murder, but such things as residential burglary and weapon related offenses

If your analysis is correct then what someone was stating is that “no someone that sells a child for the THIRD time isn’t as bad as that person who happened to use a weapon in a fight but didn’t hurt someone”

Both crimes affect the victims for the rest of their lives.

Maybe but I think I’d rather child sex traffickers get capital punishment over most murderers.
