San Francisco prosecutor seeks father’s release in infamous 1981 Brink’s heist
KTLA ^ | Feb 19, 2021

David Gilbert went to prison a revolutionary, raising his fist and scorning authorities who prosecuted him for an infamous 1981 armored truck robbery in which a guard and two police officers were killed.

Four decades later, advocates for the 76-year-old inmate’s release include San Francisco’s chief prosecutor, the son left behind at 14 months old when both his parents were arrested.

“As long as I can remember, I’ve known that the most likely scenario is that my father is going to die in prison,” said Chesa Boudin, sworn in as district attorney last year.

Boudin ran a progressive campaign in which he said visiting his parents Kathy Boudin and Gilbert in prison showed him the criminal justice system was broken

This is why the death penalty needs to implemented swiftly and often.

S.F. District Attorney Chesa Boudin is right: The justice system is broken.

Both parents should have been executed.

“the criminal justice system was broken”

I agree, this guy should have been executed already, that would make it less broken.

No, he shouldn’t die in prison because he should have been executed. Since he wasn’t, let him rot there.

They should all die in prison. This DA should be disbarred and fired.

Justice was done in a court of law and should not be changed due to nepotism now.

Yes, and somehow a lot of millennials are fascinated with the Sixties and the boomers and (with apparent shallow understanding) want to emulate them (somehow the cynical Gen Xers seemed to escape their clutches-perhaps familiarity breeding contempt lol).

And I say that with no dog in this hunt-depending on which chart I read, I could be late boomer (born in 63), or something called Generation Jones, or early Gen X-all I know is that my iconic show was Brady Bunch not Leave It To Beaver, and group was Led Zeppelin not Beatles.

I think Gen Boomer divides into 45-55, and 55-65.

Very different experiences for each group.

What’s hilarious is that I’ve had a few really young people somehow identify me with the Glenn Miller generation lol-don’t think I look that old, I can only put it down to teevee conditioning people, until recently, to see older people as the Big Band generation-I put that down to boomer influence too.

I live Glenn Miller, have listened to his music most of my life-but Big Band was not the music of my generation lol.

A great example for the death penalty. Now even more so, so that cold-blooded killers cannot get paroled or pardoned by some Marxist DA or Governor.

In fact, I think his son, DA Chesa Boudin, should be executed on grounds of aiding and abetting a mass murderer in trying to get freed despite his horrible crimes.

Gilbert is as “unrepentant” as his fellow Weatherman buddy Bill Ayers (and Bernadine Dohrn). Except for some kind of reported police investigation mistakes in the killing of Officer O’Connell, both of them would have been serving life-plus sentences in the same jail as Gilbert. However, that case has been reopened for years and they might still go to jail for life.

It’s even crazier than that. The Democrat nominee was Suzy Loftus and she lost to Chesa Boudin from Raving Loony Party.

The voters there are insane.
