Sorry, but I voted to recall San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin

[RandySF]

I refuse to believe that criminal justice reform has to include freezing honest-to-God crime victims to the point of refusing to return their phone calls.

1. If you voted your principles, no need to be sorry

[dalton99a]

2. Boudin coddles violent criminals and has no use for victims.

Look at his record re. hate crimes against Asian people during the pandemic

[BannonsLiver]

3. He sounds like a nut job, so good call.

[gldstwmn]

4. I thought we weren't allowed to bash Democrats on this site?

[Demsrule86]

6. How is that bashing? And a Democrat will replace the person being recalled.

[gldstwmn]

18. "He sounds like a nut job."

On the day of the recall no less.

[USALiberal]

7. Then alert it!!!!

[Sympthsical]

10. Seen a Fetterman thread lately?

Some are more equal than others.

[gldstwmn]

16. I support Fetterman. And yeah, some of the comments about his health aren't fooling me.

But I don't see anyone calling him names. That's an attack. Chesa Boudin is a Democrat and he was elected by mostly Democrats in San Francisco. If people don't like him then let's discuss the issues instead of name calling. That's what the other side does.

11. Are we supposed to support canndidates who we feel are totally failing

or are we supposed to prop them up because even though they are horrible they have a D behind their name?

[gldstwmn]

15. How is "He sounds like a nut job" bringing anything to the conversation?

That's an attack.

[RandySF]

20. It's a non-partisan office in a deep blue city.

[gldstwmn]

21. I don't have a problem with your

original post. I do have a problem with the name calling and FWIW he is endorsed by the San Francisco Democratic Party in today's recall and is a Democrat.

[Demsrule86]

5. I agree with you. I don't live in San Fran but if I did...I would too...you will get a Democrat

for replacement and hopefully one who does a better job and answers the phone.

8. Good. Being a progressive should not

translate to being soft on crime. We do our party and society no favors when the rule of law becomes meaningless. If he doesn't care to prosecute crimes, then maybe it's time for a different field of work.

[Sympthsical]

9. All my friends in the city are voting to recall

And these are all very, very liberal Democrats.

It's fine as Mayor Breed appoints the replacement, I believe.

So many problems. Ideology can't get ahead of reality, and that was his problem.

[ripcord]

12. Many democrats feel the same way about Gascon

Between the Hannah Tubbs case, the 16 year old who got off very light for stealing a car and running down a mother with a baby in a stroller and the fact that his office refused to oppose the release of a Manson follower for the first time ever because he refuses to oppose any paroles have made a large number of people lose faith in him.

[gldstwmn]

17. At least you can articulate why you don't like him.

[ripcord]

19. For the reasons I listed above

You could look up the Hannah Tubbs case, a woman about to turn 18 admitted to sexually assaulting a 10 year old girl in a Denny's bathroom before she transitioned. Gascon had her charged as a juvenile so she would serve her time in a juvenile facility. She was 26 at the time and in a recorded jailhouse phone call to her father bragged about her light sentence and the fact that she wouldn't have to register as a sex offender since she was charged as a juvenile. Gason has a blanket policy of never charging a juvenile as an adult.

Recently he got a teenager who was on probation for spiking the drink of a girl at his high school 5 months at probation camp, a step down from juvenile detention, after he ran down a mother pushing a stroller while driving a stolen car under the influence then fleeing the scene. You should watch the video

Add to that the fact that he won't file any enhancements charges to crime, even firearms related, that he was the first Los Angeles D.A. to ever refuse to oppose the parole of a Manson follower, he is also adamant about not prosecuting low level property crimes like shoplifting and you have just some of the reasons myself and many other democrats have lost faith in him.

13. I would've too if I lived there. I signed to recall Gascon here in LA

and I intend to vote him out in November.

[beaglelover]

14. I'll def be voting to oust him in November. He's awful.
