Not doing it to themselves.  Doing it to the public. If you can't see it, the process is intended to cause the public to whine for protection from the criminals being released.  Provides newsome et al with the excuse to increase their own power and lock CA up tighter. Question is, When are the good people in CA going to have enough of the BS and start shooting?  There are many there who are ready to do exactly that.  Newsome believes he's got it locked up tight, but if those Redneck types out there finally quit, he's got a problem he cannot deal with.  Those people will go through the cops and NG like they aren't even there. Time for martial law imposed by DJT and removal of the tyrant(s), as specified in the constitution.  BEFORE the shit hits the fan and the "hill people" come down.
