San Francisco District Attorney Faces Recall Election



San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin cast his ballot on Monday for an election where he faces being recalled. Boudin was elected on a promise to fight inequality in the justice system with alternatives to prison, pushing against what he calls “mass incarceration.” But, polls show Boudin is at risk of losing his job in one of America’s most progressive cities, as San Francisco struggles with homelessness, hate crimes, and violence.

  1. Anyone victim of property crime should sue him.

  2. looks like November cant get here soon enough red wave is a coming this nut jobs gonna be out soon parents we're going to teach your kids what we want parents ahh nope businesses its not that big of a deal these people are just stealing to get by businesses saying ahh nope

  3. No more weather underground

  4. Gascon and Merrick Garland; will be next.

  5. Hahaha 🤣 good riddance you POS! This guy belongs in jail for failing to protect citizens.

  6. I can’t believe there was still close to 40% that wanted him to stay in as the D.A. Never realized there was so many LOSERS in San Francisco!! Either that or there’s a shitload of criminals, because if your a criminal you definitely want this guy in office!!! Criminals have more rights than the taxpayers and law abiding citizens!!!! Good for the 60% of the people that voted him out!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

  7. His name is chester boden 🤡

  8. Wow, are you telling me releasing criminals makes them commit more crime? Who knew? Progressives are idiots

  9. THIS TYPICAL, PRO CRIMINAL POLITICIAN IS FURTHER PROOF OF THE RED TSUNAMI MIDTERMS 2022 🇺🇸 😉

  10. MSFGA = Make San Francisco Great Again!

  11. The liberal full out of there the lenient a****

  12. He needed his house looted while he was making his speech.

  13. SF and LA are 2 major cities that control where Cali is going. If SF starting to realize what Democrats are doing, so will LA. It’s going to be a very long and slow process to make California great again.

  14. I CAN HEAR ALL THE LOVING PEOPLE SAY;
    "NO! THEY'RE EXPRESSING THEMSELVES! ISN'T IT WONDERFUL. EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE TO SEEK THEIR OWN DESTINY. IF THEY BREAK INTO YOUR CAR AND STEAL YOUR LUGGAGE OR BREAK A WINDOW FOR A PACK OF GUM, THEY'RE EXPRESSING THEMSELVES! IT'S A CRIME OF DESPERATION.
    THE HOMELESS SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO INTO ANY STORE AND TAKE WHATEVER THEY NEED AND SELL IT ON THE STREETS. IT'S A CRIME OF DESPERATION."
    WE CANNOT HAVE TENT CITY PRISONS OR BARRACKS STYLE PRISONS
    BECAUSE THE HOMELESS NEED TO BE EXPRESSING THEMSELVES.
    THESE PRISONS WOULD BE STAFFED WITH DRUG AND ALCOHOL COUNSELORS THAT CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL ILLNESS.
    THIS IS TRULY WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN ON A LARGE SCALE.
    IT'S GOING TO TAKE BARRACKS STYLE INSTITUTION.
    NOT THESE GRAND CEMENT EDIFICES TO TAX DOLLARS AT WORK. THAT'S CRAZY.
    .
    "I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF ANY STORE BECAUSE IT'S A CRIME OF DESPERATION.
    JUST CUZ I'M HOMELESS, MENTALLY ILL AND TREATING MY MENTAL ILLNESS WITH STREET DRUGS, YOU SHOULD NOT JUDGE ME.
    YOU'RE TAKING AWAY MY AGENCY TO HAVE THIS LIFESTYLE.
    THE GREAT INDUSTRIAL HOMELESS COMPLEX SHOULD BUILD ME A TINY HOME FOR $500,000 WITH TAXES FROM THE RICH.
    DON'T CALL ME HOMELESS!
    I'M THE UNHOUSED."
    .
    JUST LIKE THE MOVIE SOYLENT GREEN WE SHOULD HAVE SUICIDE CENTERS OF AMERICA. A PLACE WHERE ANYONE OVER 18 CAN GET AN OVERDOSE OF OPIATES AND DRIFT INTO THE GOOD NIGHT.
    THEY CAN WATCH SOME NICE MOVIES OF NATURE SCENES AS THEY DRIFT OFF.
    THEN WE CAN TURN THE BODIES INTO PROTEIN CHIPS AND FEED THE POOR. IT'S A WIN-WIN!
    HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE HOMELESS, IN PRISON OR PEOPLE IN GENERAL WOULD TAKE UP ON THIS?
    MAYBE WHEN THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD GOES DOWN BY 50% WILL ALL LOVE EACH OTHER A LITTLE MORE.
    RIGHT NOW IT'S REMINDING ME OF THAT EXPERIMENT WHERE THEY KEEP DROPPING RATS IN A CAGE.
    THERE BECOMES A CRITICAL MASS WHERE THEY ALL START FIGHTING.

  15. diversity is great right!?

  16. I am sure CB live in a gated community ,not in down town.

  17. 😀 Great news
    He was recalled
    Making San Francisco safe again
    Now let’s recall Alvin Bragg NY

  18. Politics is a bare knuckle sport and Boudin just isn't much of a fighter.

  19. So are so afraid of Trump.

  20. Any time you see a guy dressed like this you know he's a complete fraud.

  21. Goodbye Comrade! 👏👏👏

  22. Will THANK GOD HE'S GONE!!!!!

  23. NANANA NANANA HEYHEYHEY GOODBYE!!!
    🤣

  24. Still going to have a big hole to climb out of, and do you really think that there will be much of a change all that quick?.

  25. HE HAS BEEN RECALLED….THERE IS STILL GASCON IS NEXT

  26. The recall was successful. Peace out chump LOL

  27. His parents killed 3 people. E’nuff said.

  28. Police are stepping back from doing their jobs in retaliation for increased accountability in the wake of the George Floyd case. It's happening in all major cities. Police just aren't doing their jobs. Then they go and blame crime waves on mayors and district attorneys. It's actually quite simple….they just don't want to be held accountable for abusing of force…ie…street justice instead of court justice. And there's absolutely NOTHING that Democratic mayors and DA's can do about it because you can't publicly blame cops and say they're not doing their jobs. aren't doing their jobs. BIG win for the GOP, but in the end, they'll either encourage police abuse of force or they won't be able to lower the crime rate. They certainly won't run on a platform of raising taxes to hire more cops.

  29. The fact that this guy is still gaslighting the citizens ." The crime you've been a victim of didn't really happen, because crime is down." He's done.

  30. I hope the guy in the bike shop learned by this, what will it take for him to realize voting for joey b was also a bad idea, $10 buck gas food up 100% how about showing up for a recall 2 days later a dead Marine is brought in no joey b or pretty boy please do not vote democrap in 2024

  31. Chesa, Please seek mental health help

  32. Ha! I empathized with the bike shop guy until he admitted that he actually voted for Boudin. He got exactly what HE VOTED FOR!!! Just another bleeding heart with no brains or balls 🤭

  33. Chesa Boudin is terrorizing us by proxy.
    Treat him like the crime boss that he is!

  34. San Francisco is dangerous under the district attorney he failed to prosecute 4 times the guy wind-up stealing a car in a different city was on drugs and killed two women in San Francisco but he let the guy go four times I'm a Democrat and this is why he has to go it is unsafe in San Francisco under this district attorney
