SAN FRANCISCO, CA. (THECOUNT) — Chesa Boudin, the urine-and-feces-plagued city’s incoming district attorney, pledged during the campaign not to prosecute public urination and other quality-of-life crimes if he was elected. Boudin declared victory Saturday night after results showed him winning a plurality of votes in the DA race.
“We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes. Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted,” Boudin vowed in response to an American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire during the campaign.

Boudin’s parents were members of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist group. Boudin “was raised in Chicago by Weather Underground leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn” after his parents were sent to prison on murder charges while he was a toddler, NBC News noted.
Tuesday morning reports say Boudin’s parents conducted an armored truck robbery.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont Independent, cheered Boudin’s victory in the election. “Now is the moment to fundamentally transform our racist and broken criminal justice system by ending mass incarceration, the failed war on drugs and the criminalization of poverty,” the Vermont Sen. wrote on Twitter Saturday, congratulating Boudin on his “historic victory!”
Folks still rubbing the sleep from their eyes immediately took to Twitter to vent:
San Fran has become the dumping ground of the US.

*whispers* you're unqualified, the majority of SF doesn't want you, and nobody would care about you at all if it weren't for the nepotistic privileges of a famous mommy and daddy ☺️
Enjoy the moment!

much closer to home —the nine children left behind by the policemen and the guard who were murdered, in cold blood, with the help of Chesa Boudin’s parents. On this the Times and young Mr Boudin are silent. They say not a word.”

If we dispensed justice with any more compassion and understanding in San Francisco we’d be putting the six people we arrest each year up at the Four Seasons.

Boudin’s campaign did not respond to the Daily Caller‘s request for confirmation that he would follow through on his pledge not to prosecute public urination.
