California lurches even further to the left

Chesa Boudin wins San Francisco D.A. election
Chesa Boudin District Attorney 2019
"Chesa Boudin will serve as San Francisco's next district attorney, the SF Chronicle reported Saturday.
"Boudin, the most progressive candidate on the ballot, won a tight race against interim district attorney Suzy Loftus. Boudin held 85,950 votes as of Saturday afternoon, with about 1,200 ballots left to count, the Chronicle said. Loftus had 83,511 votes.
"The 39-year-old won the seat following four days of ballot counting in the city's first open election for district attorney in over a century following sitting District Attorney George Gascon's departure to run for district attorney in Los Angeles." . . .

Happy, America?  "This is what is shown for his parents when you do an internet search on this guy: 


Parents: David Gilbert (Father) · Kathy Boudin (Mother) · Bill Ayers (Father) · Bernardine Dohrn (Mother)
"Yes. Really.
"NOW, go look up each of the four named "parents."
"Wait, I'll help you out a bit:
" 'Boudin was born in New York City.[1] His parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were Weather Underground members.[2] When Boudin was 14 months old, his parents were arrested for their role as getaway car drivers in the Brink's robbery of 1981 in Rockland County, New York.[1][3] His mother was sentenced to 20 years to life[4] and his father to 75 years to life for the felony murders of two police officers and a security guard.[5]
After his parents were incarcerated, Boudin was raised in Chicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, like his parents, were members of the Weather Underground.[6]
"Kathy Boudin was released under parole supervision in 2003.[3][7] Boudin descends from a long left-wing lineage. His great-great-uncle, Louis B. Boudin,[8] was a Marxist theoretician and author of a two-volume history of the Supreme Court's influence on American government, and his grandfather Leonard Boudin was an attorney who represented controversial clients such as Fidel Castro and Paul Robeson.[9]
Boudin is also related to Michael Boudin,[8] a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and I.F. Stone, an independent journalist.[8][10]
"Boudin went to St Antony's College, Oxford on a 2003 Rhodes Scholarship.[2] At Oxford, he earned two master's degrees, one in Forced Migration and the other in Public Policy in Latin America. He received his J.D. degree from Yale Law School in 2011,[11] and began work for the San Francisco Public Defender's Office as a post-doctoral fellow in 2012.[3]" - From Wikipedia" . . .
