While I am happy to see this piece of ■■■■ given the boot in perhaps our most liberal city.
This country needs to do a much better job of ferreting out these scumbags before they ever get on the ballot.
Chesa Boudin says he wants to change things??? That would be just fine, BUT…
Your in the wrong ■■■■■■■ office.
Run for the California Legislature.
A District Attorney, regardless of State, has only one duty and that is to ENFORCE THE LAWS AS WRITTEN. Not enforce the laws as they would like them to be.
And there needs to be methods available to quickly punish and remove prosecutors who go rogue.
Whether the jurisdiction is conservative, liberal or in between, research your DA candidates carefully. Make sure they are running to do the job of enforcing the laws, not the rogue job of trying to rewrite the laws to their liking.
Stop these rogues early by voting them down in your party’s primary.
People are sick and tired of the pendulum swinging too far. This is how pendulums swing back. Good!
Point is that the are not tired of the liberal left they are telling the liberal left to reel it in. This reform movement is an epic failure not because of its intentions but because of execution. There are plenty more out there who need to be recalled.
San Francisco and many West Coast liberals are frustrated with the politics of the Far Left. Too idealistic, too unrealistic, too dogmatic as it relates to homelessness, policing and racial justice issues.
Its a good thing to see a shift back to more moderate and sensible liberal values that are far more pragmatic and realistic.
I’d love to see the same thing happen with the Far Right as it pertains to gun laws, abortion rights and flirting with fascism/Trumpism.
It’s purely performative seemingly with zero pragmatism or any real world logic applied.
Like the whole “defund the police” disaster. As I recall, reason given for that was “something something something social justice”. And it ends up with something like:
I don’t want to shift this to a gun laws thread as its focusing more on progressive overreach- but I would say that even 25 years ago a lot of conservatives were fine with sensible gun laws.
Interesting stats. In general I would think that a lot of crime would have gone down in SF as it became an Uber-wealthy enclave starting in the 80’s/90s. I would guess this is the same in NY and other big cities.
I didn’t see what you thought about those stats tho- what do you mean by perspective?
