Los Angeles out of money to test rapist DNA

without comments

This is absurd. Money in California as a whole is thrown away on the most wasteful projects, meanwhile the L.A. sheriff has put on hold the testing of rapists DNA. The one piece of evidence that can certainly link the perpetrator to the crime, rapists will have the luxury of committing their crimes without the worry of getting caught. That’s just brilliant Los Angeles. Relocate some of the wasteful spending and get these offenders off the streets.
