Chesa Boudin, the son of anti-war radicals sent to prison for murder when he was a toddler, has won San Francisco's tightly contested race for district attorney after campaigning to reform the criminal justice system.

Boudin entered the race as an underdog and captured voters' attention with his extraordinary life story: He was 14 months old when his parents, who were members of the far-left Weather Underground, dropped him off with a babysitter and took part in an armored car robbery in upstate New York that left two police officers and a security guard dead.

He said that as one of the dozens of people whose lives were shattered by the deadly robbery in 1981, he experienced first-hand the destructive effects of mass incarceration and it motivated him to reform the nation's broken criminal justice system. In this Nov. 21, 1981, file photo, Katherine Boudin is led from Rockland County Courthouse in New York.Loftus was appointed the interim district attorney by Mayor London Breed last month after George Gascon announced he was resigning and moving to Los Angeles to explore a run for DA there.

Why would anyone send a toddler to prison?

Im glad someone is thinking about real issues that can be fixed with practical solutions.

Just another Communist in the Insurrection war against the Republic of the United States and the President.

San Fran just marks 'D' on their ballots (or someone else marks it for them) and don't know anything about any of the candidates.

And promised to make sf worse by not enforcing laws.

Great! Another radicalized leftist in power..

Not good for America. A disaster for the sinking quickly San Francisco.

OkCommie

Had to read this a few times, at first i thought it said he had been in prison for murder since he was a toddler, some going.

Keep electing those winners, California.

Funded by George Soros? Media malpractice if omitted....

Good luck

Mural of activist Greta Thunberg going up in San FranciscoArgentine muralist Andres Iglesias said that he is donating his time to complete the work and hopes the mural helps people realize 'we have to take care of the world.' I always wanted to see San Francisco before it crumbled into the ocean. Now I don’t care the slightest. I’m a liberal and I find this to be as cult like as the people who use the MAGA hashtag in the or bios and hats. Ridiculous. And all that equipment and paint can’t be very good for the environment either. Birds are going to shit all over it. You do know that, right? Imagine living cross the street
