You must have missed the part of my post were I used the term "click bait", because you just described it to a tee.

It has been an issue, sure. Has it not been an issue discussed almost incessantly in the past three years or so? That being the case, and the fact that the DA in this instance is both an elected official and in one of the most liberal parts of the country, I find it far less likely for this to be one of those instances. I could be wrong, but logic certainly doesn't incline me to believe so.
