San Francisco district attorney's parents were terrorists, not victims

San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin has tried to present his soft-on-crime policies as the result of his upbringing, with both of his parents being incarcerated. But Boudin’s parents were not victims of an unforgiving justice system. They were terrorists.

60 Minutes tried to portray Boudin as a sympathetic figure, saying that “few prosecutors have been directly touched by incarceration” as Boudin had. Boudin leans into the sympathy as well, talking about how his earliest memories are having to go through metal detectors “just to give them a hug.” Boudin’s parents, according to him, were simply unarmed getaway drivers.
