Sf Chronicle today: “Mayor London Breed said Wednesday that recall of District Attorney Chesa Boudin does not signal an end to progressive approaches to law enforcement in San Francisco.”
From Wiki...
Boudin was born in New York City to Jewish parents. His parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were Weather Underground members. When Boudin was 14 months old, both were arrested and convicted of murder for their role as getaway car drivers in the 1981 Brink’s robbery in Rockland County, New York. His mother was sentenced to 20 years to life and his father to 75 years to life for the felony murders of two police officers and a security guard.
After his parents were incarcerated, Boudin was raised in Hyde Park, Chicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, like his parents, had been members of the Weather Underground.[
What are the details of the changeover? Is Boudin given two weeks’ notice, or is he out right now? Or not until the Mayor names a replacement? And then the DA position will be on the November ballot?
From the article - “In the run-up to the recall election — which Boudin lost bigly, 60% to 40% — “.
That’s not a landslide as the author calls it earlier in the article; that’s the result of who showed up to vote.
