Ten prisoners, including four charged with murder, escaped from the New Orleans jail on Friday after the city elected as sheriff a progressive activist who had never worn a badge.
Orleans Parish became a trial run in a plan by left-wing billionaires to extend George Soros’ campaign of installing anti-police prosecutors even further, into electing anti-law-and-order sheriffs. Susan Hutson was elected in December 2021, with New Orleans Public Radio saying at the time that “a Susan Hutson win could give New Orleans — and the U.S. — its 1st progressive sheriff.”
Hutson had never served as a law enforcement officer, but rather worked as an “independent police monitor” who criticized police, New Orleans Public Radio said. The outlet stated she would “reform the criminal justice system with a left-wing ideology.” The primary role of the sheriff in Orleans Parish is to run the jail.
Hutson squeaked into office after the incumbent, another black Democrat, got 48% in the primary compared to her 35%, which led to a runoff since the incumbent did not get 50%. In the runoff, the dynamic flipped with the assistance of big-money out-of-state groups, including PAC for Justice, which wants to divert the jail budget to “social programs.”
During the initial election, Hutson “struggled to pull in money, only taking in $131,000 from donors, but during the runoff, PAC for Justice received a $200,000 donation from a national group named FWD.us, which has also donated funds to end non-unanimous jury trials,” New Orleans Public Radio said. FWD.us was co-founded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. PAC for Justice’s other donors, almost all out-of-state, also included groups that were, in turn, funded by Soros.
“Hutson said if elected, she would also support promoting women to deputies to diversify the workplace, helping to buck the national trend of the white male sheriff,” the outlet added.
Sean Kennedy of Virginians for Safe Communities, which opposes lenient prosecutors, told The Daily Wire that Hutson “was an anti-police activist lawyer who never wore a badge but won anyway with $160,000 from Soros PACs and another $200,000 from Mark Zuckerberg — neither of which (last time I checked) are from New Orleans.”
“George Soros and his allies have expanded their attempted takeover of the criminal justice system. On top of the $50 million Soros spent on prosecutors, he is now spending millions more to buy local sheriff races and install radical incompetents like he did in New Orleans, Phoenix, and on Cape Cod,” he added.
Hutson lashed out on Friday about how having four accused murderers on the loose would affect her own election.
“Why did it happen just right now, right in the middle, as we’re getting ready to start this sheriff’s race?” she said at a press conference on the escape, according to ABC News. “This is very suspicious. We know that they had help. We’re showing you they had help. This was coordinated. There’s much more than meets the eye.”
The remark suggested that she believes that rather than the escape happening due to her incompetence, it was orchestrated by jail guards who wanted to see her replaced as sheriff.
The Soros takeover of the legal system is one of the most remarkable political phenomena of the last decade. The billionaire financier, an expert in arbitrage, discovered that rather than influencing state legislators to change laws, it is cheaper and easier to elect prosecutors who will simply nullify laws they don’t like by refusing to prosecute them.
Mainstream Democrat and Republican prosecutors believe it is a violation of the separation of the branches of government to ignore laws. But Soros also discovered that by targeting cities where residents “vote blue no matter who,” it is possible to replace Democrat incumbents with leftists who don’t share those ethical concerns by injecting unheard-of amounts of cash into primary elections, which were historically cheap, low-turnout affairs.
Instead of donating to a candidate’s campaign, the Soros machine essentially runs it for the candidate, through “independent expenditures” such as ads and mailers that it designs, pays for, and runs on its own.
Putting national cash into local races for sheriff represents a significant advancement of the project, one that would place anti-police activists in charge of a region’s public safety.
Ten inmates left the jail through a hole behind a toilet at 1:01 a.m., while only one employee—a civilian rather than law enforcement—was assigned to watch their pod, and while that person left to get food, officials said. At 8:30 a.m., they were discovered missing.
“These folks that were able to get out did so because of defective locks on the cells,” Hutson said, while also saying, “We have the indication that these detainees received assistance in their escape from inside our department.”
