Smittcamp added, \u201cShe has continued now to take the money from her settlement that she received from the city of Fresno to buy a home where she lives in addition to spending thousands of dollars on guns that she has in turn given to her 14-year-old son.\u201d ABC 30 stated, \u201cProsecutors say she bought guns and gave them to that son to distribute to gang members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLopez faces 22 counts of gun trafficking charges including conspiracy to provide firearms to a minor for the benefit of a street gang, child endangerment and conspiracy to provide a firearm to a gang member, police said,\u201d the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/10\/10\/california-woman-christina-lopez-paid-4-9-million-after-sons-death-bought-guns-for-other-sons-gang\/\">New York Post<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez\u2019s attorney, Ralph Torres, protested that she had moved so her remaining children would not get into trouble, adding, \u201cWe have to see what they have and what type of concrete, physical evidence that we can look at so that would connect her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In October 2020, Smittcamp <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/fresno-da-thunders-to-ca-gov-newsom-the-blood-of-the-children-being-shot-by-out-of-control-gang-members-in-our-city-is-on-your-hands\/\">thundered a powerful message<\/a> to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom at a press conference dealing with the surge in violent crime caused by the release of criminals from prisons,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8dwPjgCSFY8\">stating<\/a>, \u201cStop using COVID-19 to promote your political agenda. The blood of the children being shot by out-of-control gang members in our city is on your hands, and on the hands of every person who does not make public safety a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The press conference was held the same day as San Quentin Officials were considering whether to appeal the state\u2019s decision to release over 1,100 inmates.<\/p>\n<p>Smittcamp stated, \u201cThe law enforcement agencies represented behind me are the ones fighting on the front lines to bring peace to our community. We are in some of the most violent times that we have ever seen \u2026 In the midst of this, our last two governors vowed to close state prisons. Governor Newsom announced that he will close the state prison facility on Tracy, California, on September 30, 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is this relevant to why we are here today?\u201d she asked rhetorically. \u201cIt is relevant because we are lacking bed space to house local criminals who are shooting up our cities and killing our children and each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis solution to COVID protection and prevention is letting them out of prison with no regard for their victims and the communities they will return to terrorize,\u201d Smittcamp charged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis spring, the state expedited the release of 3,500 inmates because of the coronavirus, and in July it freed 2,345 others early. Thousands more are eligible for release, including at least 6,500 deemed to be at high risk because of medical conditions that make them especially vulnerable to COVID-19,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2020-08-09\/covid-19-california-releases-violent-crime-murder-prisoners\">The Los Angeles Times<\/a>&nbsp;reported in August 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In late September 2020,&nbsp;Fresno City Council Member Luiz Chavez&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gvwire.com\/2020\/09\/24\/were-in-the-middle-of-a-crime-wave-says-fresno-council-member\/\">stated<\/a>&nbsp;that 600 criminals had been released back into the city since April, adding,&nbsp;\u201cWe\u2019re in the middle of a crime wave, and that is not a term that I use loosely because that\u2019s how it\u2019s being described here in our city. And we need to really step up and prioritize public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fresno Council Member&nbsp;Garry Bredefeld echoed,&nbsp;\u201cIn our community I believe we\u2019ve had 38 murders to date.&nbsp;We are far surpassing what occurred last year all across our city. I understand there\u2019s been an 80 percent increase in shootings since April, and a 70 percent increase in stabbings.&nbsp;I mean, there is gunfire all over the place and we need to make our citizens safe. We need to continue to give the police the resources to deal with this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smittcamp, controlling her fury, continued, \u201cThe last four or five women in this community, and the last four or five victims in this community have been killed or shot. Innocent women, innocent people caught in gunfire have been women of color. It is enough. Enough is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
