Boudin only took action when the thugs started hitting the high-end stores. Yes, he’s being recalled but it’s not related to the latest smash & grabs.

” Yes, he’s being recalled but it’s not related to the latest smash & grabs.”
It’s not “related” in the sense that the recall predated these latest incidents, but it’s hard to imagine that Boudin doesn’t know that he’s facing the voters in June and that’s not at least partially motivating him to temporarily put up some pretense of prosecuting crime.
