And there was much rejoicing! The spawn of REAL domestic terrorists, groomed/raised in white privilege land by Barack 'no one is more Irish' Obamas' buddy Bill Ayers while the sperm donor was jailed gets the boot. Guess our old friend George Soros will spend double the money next round.
Who's next?
Replace him with Detective Harry Callahan.

I'm happy but I also know that the moron mayor will simply get another fool to replace Boudin. She's all about defunding the police and letting the criminals run rampant in that toilet city.

That would be London Breed, age 47.
I don't know this Nellie Bowles "from Adam" but she has a more nuanced opinion about San Francisco's current mayor; to wit:
quote | London Breed, the city’s first Black female mayor, wanted a liberal moderate for D.A., but Boudin ran to the left as a fierce progressive ideologue ...
Breed is a canny politician who knows which way the wind is blowing, and is open to changing course depending on the results.
Just a few years ago, [Breed] had proudly embraced the “defund the police” movement; no longer. This spring, after the city’s gay-pride parade banned police officers from marching in uniform, Breed announced that out of solidarity, she wouldn’t march either.
I took a stroll with her back in February. She had just given a press conference on anti-Asian hate crimes outside a senior center in Chinatown. As in places like New York, the city had seen a spike in the reporting of hate crimes against Asians. People were scared. Breed grew up in the city’s projects and knows residents who have had family members shot and killed recently. “I know a lot of people who supported Chesa because there was a strong push for criminal justice,” she told me. “I don’t think people believed that it meant that justice would not occur.” She added, “That’s not justice reform, if everyone who commits the crime is getting off for the crime.” Now she’ll have a chance to replace him.
As we talked, we walked through Chinatown, then up past the $7 million homes of Russian Hill and down into North Beach. The bay lay ahead; the cable-car drivers waved to the mayor; the city’s problems seemed far off. But Breed was angry, disappointed with the progressive faction and how it had let the city down. A few months earlier, Breed had announced a new approach to crime, starting with the Tenderloin, whose streets and sidewalks are full of fentanyl’s chaos. She declared it to be in a state of emergency and approved three months of funding for increased law enforcement there.
The order was mostly symbolic—the drug problem isn’t limited to a few bad blocks. Often a sweep of the homeless just means pushing the tents and dealers down the road. And anyone who lives in San Francisco knows the Tenderloin has been an emergency for years. But it allowed the mayor to trot out some new rhetoric: “What I’m proposing today and what I will be proposing in the future will make a lot of people uncomfortable, and I don’t care.” It was time, she said, to be “less tolerant of all the bullshit that has destroyed our city.” |

How was the weather, did it rain? You know I hate to see it rain on anyone's parade.

It's funny to see the comment that she is a "canny politician" yet "wanted a liberal moderate for a DA". That's not too canny in my opinion, especially giving a slap on the wrist for repeat offenders. In all due honesty, I'm not a political person. I just like to see someone do their job, resolve issues, and make the city happy. Right now, that poor city is so derelict that I don't know if anyone can bring it back to it's former glory.

Let's hope you are wrong. 'As California goes, so goes the Nation.' ...
I often wonder if we will be Better Off or Worse Off when G. Soros finally kicks the bucket. His $$ is being metered out to his causes now but his Will might just open the floodgates.
And a question for the Peanut Gallery: where is this ex-DA going to land? On 'his feet' I think is certainly guaranteed. Head Counsel at Google? Guesses anyone?

Unfortunately he'll probably work for Gavin Newsom and I guarantee he walked out with a VERY large gift ($$$$$) from London Breed but we'll hear about that in another 10 years.[This message has been edited by IMSA GT (edited 06-19-2022).]
