Happened yesterday but made Austin News today.

21 year old Democrat District Clerk files petition to remove our woke DA Kelly Higgins because he won't prosecute crimes that the state passed Sept 1st.

Brave young man.
Hopefully as he matures, he'll realize his values might be more aligned with a different political party

Yep. The fact he is actually following the law is honerable.

I didnt know it was a democrat or republican choice to uphold our laws.

Moderate Dems fighting Far Left loons.

TBH, this feels like a strategic challenge to the law in what will be a friendly venue to challenge it.

Where have you been? There's a significant number of Democrat DA across this country that refuse to prosecute crimes below murder. Look at the deluge of articles about theft below $950 in California. It's become a feature for them. The best thing I've seen was a couple of years ago when a gang banger and record exec in LA said he was moving his family out of LA because it had become too violent. When the gang bangers think you aren't hard enough on crime that's a bad sign.
