He was was supposed to usher in a utopian period of peace and safety by ending mass incarceration, the war on drugs, and the criminalization of poverty.<\/p>\n<p>But now, just over two years into his term, he appears poised to be ousted by recall, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/06\/01\/san-francisco-district-attorney-could-lose-his-job-in-blow-to-national-movement-00036015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico reported<\/a> on Wednesday. Voters in the largely Democratic city will head to the polls on June 7 to determine whether or not Boudin should be recalled as top prosecutor. <\/p>\n<p>The recall effort comes amid a backdrop of worsening crime and quality of life in the Bay Area, of which residents have taken notice, many holding Boudin to account. A groundswell of activists led by a group called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safersfwithoutboudin.com\/media\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">San Franciscans for Public Safety<\/a> sought action last year by gathering the over 50,000 signatures needed to put the recall on the ballot. Now it&#8217;s up to voters to decide.<\/p>\n<p>Should Boudin be ousted, it would serve as a major blow to the national criminal justice reform movement and a signal that Americans \u2014 even those in progressive cities \u2014 want crime to be punished and victims to be protected.<\/p>\n<p>Boudin, the son of violent radicals and the former employee of Venezuelan socialist dictator Hugo Chavez, was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/dems-celebrate-chesa-boudin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elected in 2019<\/a> as part of a national tide of progressive prosecutors running for office on promises to roll back decades of tough-on-crime policies, which they claimed disproportionately affected minority people.<\/p>\n<p>His candidacy was supported by several key national progressive figures, such as Vice President Kamala Harris and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and radical anti-Israel activist <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lsarsour\/status\/1193325939746377728\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Linda Sarsour,<\/a> who claimed that she cried tears of joy following his victory.<\/p>\n<p>Boudin entered office with a bang. Within his first two days on the job, he abruptly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/chesa_boudin_fires_prosecutors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fired seven tough-on-crime prosecutors<\/a>. Before that, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/san-frans-new-ultra-liberal-da-plans-to-ignore-prostitution-public-urination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vowed not to prosecute<\/a> cases involving quality-of-life crimes, such as public camping, prostitution, public urination, and blocking a sidewalk. It was all part of his new lenient approach to criminal justice.<\/p>\n<p>That approach has since soured with many residents, who have watched as the city has deteriorated as a result of rampant crime and homelessness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s clear that San Franciscans have had enough and want a new course for our city \u2014 one that doesn\u2019t include Boudin as district attorney,&#8221; said Mary Jung, chair of the recall campaign, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/san-francisco-da-chesa-boudin-recall-vote_n_6286c386e4b01a50ab55eee7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the Huffington Post<\/a>. She added that amid the rise in homicides and property crimes, residents &#8220;have had enough of Boudin\u2019s failed leadership.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Chesa Boudin\u2019s failure as District Attorney has made San Francisco a more dangerous place to live and work,&#8221; said venture capitalist Ron Conway in a December missive calling on people to fund the recall, Politico reported.<\/p>\n<p>One volunteer for the recall effort, Ron May, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktvu.com\/news\/san-francisco-da-chesa-boudin-and-opponents-hit-the-streets-ahead-of-recall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told KTVU-TV<\/a> that Boudin&#8217;s office putting repeat offenders out on the streets has led him to support the recall: &#8220;All the victims, all the cases. We&#8217;re protecting the criminals. We&#8217;re not protecting the victims.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Former prosecutor Brooke Jenkins, who resigned due to Boudin&#8217;s failed leadership, said she and other prosecutors &#8220;felt that he was personally intervening in a number of cases, including our own cases which involved very serious and violent offenders in order to garner them lenient sentence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jenkins added: &#8220;While Chesa is not responsible for everything that&#8217;s happening in this city, he has a job as the district attorney to set a tone to let criminals know there is accountability and consequences for their actions.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>According to the former prosecutor and many others involved in the recall campaign, he has done the exact opposite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco&#8217;s far-left socialist district attorney Chesa Boudin promised a &#8220;new vision&#8221; and &#8220;radical change&#8221; to the Bay Area&#8217;s criminal justice system.
