Once again, the Hollywood elite’s support for an extreme left-wing “justice reform” cause has led to deadly results.
According to reports, the California Bail Project, which was financially supported by multimillionaire entertainers who hire their own personal security, is shutting down after a suspect it helped free allegedly shot a waiter a staggering 11 times, leaving him on life support.
The New York Post noted this week that the suspect, Rashawn Gaston-Anderson, who is black, is a serial offender and — if California wasn’t run by insane Democrats — likely would never have been eligible for bail in the first place because he would be doing time for years. The report said that Gaston-Anderson, a burglary suspect, was released on a $3,000 bond posted by the organization in December 2021.
“Six days later, Gaston-Anderson shot Chengyan Wang 11 times in the Chinatown section of Las Vegas,” The Post noted, citing a local report. “In a plea deal, the 24-year-old was convicted of attempted robbery and mayhem, both with deadly weapon enhancements, according to News 3 Las Vegas.”
The suspect was sentenced this month to seven to 18 years in prison for the attempted murder. But now, Wang, “who was struck by seven rounds in the attack at Shanghai Taste,” The Post reported, is suing the non-profit, which counts among its famous supporters actor Danny Glover, singer John Legend, and billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson.
“He’s got scars all over his body,” Wang’s lawyer Kory Kaplan said. “He can’t move his shoulder over a certain height. I don’t know how (the bullets) missed a vital artery.”
He added that his client is continuing to get medical treatment and that some injuries will plague him the rest of his life.
