No doubt Gasconvict is not entirely captivated by current events. He barely survived a previous signature-drive which failed to get enough valid signatures. The second petition has succeeded. They now need only another 50-60 K signatures to offset the inevitable 10-20% that will be invalidated.

In what may well become the sigil event of Gasconvict's career, recently a violent convicted gang member (27K violent convicts were released early in L.A. County in the last 12 months) was recorded in a prison phone call admitting to astonishment that he was not going to go to prison thanks to Gascon!! He bragged about how he was released by the D.A.'s office order, then committed another violent crime - was arrested for that then released AGAIN the same day! The gang member says that he is going to tattoo Gascon's name on his face.

In the world of violent criminal gangs, George Gascon is a legend. 

Political pundits are largely in agreement that Gascon's political career is over (if the November recall election is administrated legitimately). He has managed to anger powerful people from all political factions including some of the wealthiest, most-powerful self-described liberals who previously voted and campaigned for him.  

Among that long list of names is Charlie Beck. The former L.A. police chief has publicly called Gascon his "good friend", but also vigorously supports his removal from office. 

Ouch.
