Under the direction of Mayor Kevin Johnson, we find that the violence in Sacramento, California, was generated by an increasingly disturbed social atmosphere, in which typically not one, but a series of incidents occurred over a period of weeks, or months, maybe even years, prior to the outbreak of disorder. Over the past two week, in Sacramento, California, there have been 20 animals (deer, sheep, lambs, chickens, cats and more) decapitated and no one has any leads. Also, the beating death and murder of Josiah Humphreys, age 28, is very disturbing. It was to years ago today, the community of Sacramento lost a brother and a son. On Saint Patrick’s Day, 17 March 2013, Josiah Humphreys, a handsome and charismatic young man, was beaten to death, in Midtown Sacramento, California, at 17^th and O street, by three unidentified men. People who knew Josiah Humphreys describe him as the nicest man they ever met. All police know is there were some homophobic slurs directed at Josiah, he had words with some men and was later found beaten to death on the concrete. Every day is more frustrating for the Humphreys family because their son is gone, dead, cold, and they hear of others being persecuted in the same way and no justice in those cases. There is a $15,000.00 reward for information leading directly to an arrest. 

 These earlier or prior incidents were linked in the minds of many in the community to the preexisting reservoir of underlying grievances. With each such incident of violence, frustration and tensions are growing. In this sense the entire chain, the grievances, the series of prior tension heightening incidents, and the final incident, was the precipitant of disorder, and leaves many citizens wondering is Kevin Johnson actually doing anything for the city of Sacramento, as he has produced no results. All Kevin Johnson did was tear down an existing structure and help generate $800 Billion in debt, which the taxpayers are partially liable for, to build a basketball arena, with no parking. In the process, historical brick buildings have also been tore down, and the city plans to gut a lot of other historical properties. Many are also worried because the freeway system and streets in downtown already face grind locks during rush hour, and with as many as 20,000 other people being on the road, to see these games, and looking for parking will create more trouble and make the city unsafe because emergency responders will not be able to reach people in need.

 As a result of all the corruption, violence, and lack of organization, in Sacramento, California many businesses, colleges, and sports teams are steering clear of the problem child of California, which is known as Sacramento. Campbell’s Soups closed their doors. Most recently, Drexel University said that Sacramento does not meet the needs of its students and that they will be shutting down, and now the Major League Soccer team decided that it wants nothing to do with Sacramento and will go to Minneapolis instead. So the method of ignoring problems and thinking that no one knows what is going on in your city is actually costing you a lot of money and casting a negative light on Sacramento, California. It is a pretty city, but families are wondering, if I send my kid to Sacramento, will he be abused and tortured until he is found dead on the ground and people pretend not to know what happened? If I let my dog outside, will I later find his head in a box on my front porch?  Or is someone going to vandalize my daughter’s BMW and accuse her of a crime?

 The significance of the disorders in Sacramento, California cannot be minimized and Kevin Johnson (mayor) is not doing anything to help. He just created more debt for the city and overlooks all of the social issues. Perhaps we need to impeach Mayor Kevin Johnson so we can get Sacramento, California back on the right path? Because the local government often is unresponsive to these conditions; Federal programs are not reaching a significantly large proportion of those in need; and the resulting reservoir of pervasive and deep grievance and frustration in the ghetto. And despite some notable public and private efforts, little basic change is taking place in the conditions underlying the disorder. In some cases, the results are increasing distrust between blacks and whites, diminished interracial communication, and growth of the City of Sacramento. Therefore, it may be time to impeach Mayor Kevin Johnson of Sacramento, he cannot hear us, see us or help us, and all he can do is play basketball. Business is about producing results for the people.
