On a human level, yes, he is indeed a sad sort of character. The scion of leftist criminals, and raised as a red-diaper baby by another pair of leftist radicals. That background isn’t just an unusual backstory, it’s his raison d’être for dismantling the criminal justice system. Remarkably, he admits this! I saw his entire speech on local SF television a couple hours ago, and he literally railed against society for “caging” his parents. It seems that letting criminals off the hook is essentially therapy for his traumatic childhood. But fortunately for San Francisco and the country, his approach got smacked down last night. Chesa is going to have to figure out some other way of working out his mommy-and-daddy issues. The voters kicked him to the curb.

Whoa! He needs serious therapy. I hope Gascon is next kicked out.

The voters kicked him to the curb.

Now that he's at the curb, give him a shovel and a trash bag so he can clean up some of the filth that plagues this once beautiful city.

I remember the day in my 20s when the realization dawned that "reality" is something out there, not just a product of my personal preferences. Adulthood set in!
