Although he never used a gun or intended for anyone to get hurt, my father\u2019s crime caused unspeakable harm and devastated the lives of many separate families. I will continue to keep those families in my heart,\u201d &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/news\/article\/Cuomo-gives-clemency-to-6-including-dad-of-San-16407020.php\">The San Francisco Chronicle<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>As&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9306371\/Son-Weather-Underground-militant-says-dad-vaccinated-prison-serving-life.html\">The Daily Mail<\/a> explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p><em>Boudin\u2019s father, David Gilbert, 76, was convicted of felony murder in connection with the infamous Brinks\u2019 heist in 1981, which left two police officers and a guard dead, while his&nbsp;mother, Kathy Boudin, was also convicted in the crime and paroled in 2003. Gilbert was sentenced to 75 years to life in prison for his role in the robbery which saw members of the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army steal $1.6 million from a Brink\u2019s armored truck at a suburban Rockland County mall in upstate New York. Sgt. Edward O\u2019Grady and Officer Waverly Brown from the Nyack Police Department and Brink\u2019s guard Peter Paige were all killed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The San Francisco Chronicle pointed out at his trial, Gilbert \u201cand two co-defendants cast themselves as freedom fighters and deemed their trial illegitimate. At one court session, Gilbert and co-defendant Judith Clark raised their fists and shouted \u2018Free the land!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bronson Stocking of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/bronsonstocking\/2019\/11\/10\/radical-son-of-cop-killing-terrorists-wins-san-fransisco-da-race-n2556228\">Townhall noted<\/a>, \u201cAfter his parents killed the cops, Boudin was sent to live with two other terrorists, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Dohrn&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/pictures\/women-on-fbis-most-wanted-list\/4\/\">declared<\/a> war on the United States and was on the FBI\u2019s Most Wanted list. Ayers&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverthenetworks.org\/individuals\/bill-ayers\/\">bombed<\/a> the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol building, and the New York City Police Department before he and Dohrn became fugitives and went into hiding. The pair eventually came out of hiding and settled in as university professors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York Republican Assemblymember Mike Lawler ripped Cuomo for granting Gilbert clemency: \u201cAndrew Cuomo\u2019s final act as governor is a disgusting betrayal to the people of Rockland County. This year will mark the 40th anniversary of the Brink\u2019s Robbery and rather than stand with the brave men and women in law enforcement, Andrew Cuomo has once again stabbed them in the back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bernard Goldberg, in his book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=9iLHTFOQLGwC&amp;pg=PA75&amp;lpg=PA75&amp;dq=sad+that+my+parents+have+to+suffer+what+they+have+to+suffer+on+a+daily+basis&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=zllexNHMqL&amp;sig=ACfU3U2AvUeY4SffPCTOPy8Eo9oHRi0J4Q&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi9296ItOLlAhUIPa0\">Arrogance: Rescuing America From The Media Elite<\/a>,\u201d quoted Chesa Boudin bemoaning his parents\u2019 incarceration, complaining to The New York Times, \u201cMy parents were dedicated to fighting U.S. imperialism around the world. I\u2019m dedicated to the same thing \u2026 I\u2019m sad that that my parents have to suffer what they have to suffer on a daily basis, that millions of other people have to suffer as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg wrote: \u201cWhile we hear much about Chesa Boudin\u2019s suffering and hardships, and about the suffering and hardships of the poor around the world, neither the Times nor our Ivy-League educated Rhodes scholar tells us anything about the suffering of other children much closer to home \u2014the nine children left behind by the policemen and the guard who were murdered, in cold blood, with the help of Chesa Boudin\u2019s parents. On this the Times and young Mr Boudin are silent. They say not a word.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boudin has called the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) racist, snapping, \u201cThere are lots of situations in San Francisco where ICE is making arrests. We know it\u2019s racist, we know it\u2019s targeting immigrants, and unfortunately right now no one in the DA\u2019s office has the resources or the mandate to investigate those interactions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In late February, Boudin celebrated online after his father got his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. He&nbsp;tweeted, \u201cAmazing news: My incarcerated father just got his first vaccine shot! I hope that once I get my vaccine, and the prison reopens for visitors, I will be able to see him again for the first time in over a year.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"12.172284644195\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Amazing news: <\/p>\n<p>My incarcerated father just got his first vaccine shot! <\/p>\n<p>I hope that once I get my vaccine, and the prison reopens for visitors, I will be able to see him again for the first time in over a year.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chesa Boudin \u535a\u5fb9\u601d (@chesaboudin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chesaboudin\/status\/1365396038568214530?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 26, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Inez Stepman of The Federalist commented on Boudin\u2019s celebratory tweet: \u201cThere are elderly people not in prison for participating in a robbery that lead to murder who can\u2019t get a vaccine slot in California.
