Shasta County cannot be safe if our justice system is stretched so thin that victims wait for answers while offenders cycle in and out with accountability delayed far too long.
That is exactly what is happening today. Our District Attorney’s Office is filled with professionals who work tirelessly for this community, but they are understaffed, overburdened, and fighting an uphill battle. Cases stack up because there simply aren’t enough prosecutors — and while those files sit waiting, the same offenders continue committing the same crimes, harming more families and more neighborhoods.
We’ve had enough.
This revolving door isn’t justice.
It isn’t accountability.
And it is absolutely not what victims deserve.
When someone becomes the victim of a crime — violence, abuse, theft, or exploitation — they deserve one thing: justice delivered swiftly, fairly, and fully.
