scum begets scum
Many years after I graduated from a conservative private school, I learned that one of the mother of one my girl classmates had been the mama-san of a whorehouse.
What did mom want her daughter to be?
A lawyer.
She became a District Attorney.
...Mr. Boudin, on the other hand, is racking up endorsements from grass-roots liberal groups in the city, and has emerged as a darling among national activists, who see h
He has attracted support from prominent criminal justice system critics like Shaun King, who founded the influential Real Justice PAC and has over a million followers on Twitter, and Larry Krasner, the lawyer who made a career with civil rights suits against the police and then became the top prosecutor in Philadelphia.
...Mr. Boudin was just 14 months old when his parents committed the robbery in New York that sent them to prison. He was raised in Chicago by Bill Ayers, the founder of the Weather Underground, and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, a lawyer, who was also an operative in the group.
...Growing up in that household, he was immersed in the world of leftist politics and groomed to be an overachiever: Yale. Rhodes Scholar. Yale Law School. I lived in parallel worlds, he once wrote. My family taught me radical politics from the beginning, but I also learned to prove myself in elite institutions.
....He has disavowed, but sought to understand, his parents embrace of violence in pursuit of social change. There was a tremendous amount of political energy and activity during that time, he said, and they were caught up in it. And I think they were led astray and they ended up participating in some things which I know they regret.
Some people did some things.

Someone could write a country & western song about this, or could be hip-hop.
(Who was in the get-away van?)
The unlawful and disorder platform...
[ncluding Gov. Gavin Newsom, Mayor London Breed, Senator Dianne Feinstein and Senator Kamala Harris]
Oh well, that makes me feel better already......
Isn’t there a country & western song along those lines? :)
Mr. Boudin now works as a public defender, representing poor clients in criminal cases. His platform includes reducing mass incarceration, diverting mentally ill and drug addicted offenders away from prison, being tougher on police misconduct and closing jails.
