The totalitarian Fascist like tactics of the DA Recall supporters is an afront to democracy and free speech.
This disruptive Fascist strategy reared its ugly face again when the District Attorney was in Chinatown announcing a lawsuit to stop frivolous lawsuits targeting small Asian business owners.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed even though she is no supporter of DA Chesa Boudin needs to be a Leader. Speak out and condemn this Fascist type activity.
This is only one strategy in the perverse playbook of the DA Recall cadres who hired mercenaries to qualify the Recall. Spending nearly $1,500,000 to paid mercenary signature gathers.
Possessing an unlimited bank account funded by the most rabid right wing conservative Political Action Committees the Fascist like campaign to unseat a Progressive DA will continue in all its vile incarnations until June 7.
Distributing the worst kind of Red baiting artwork targeting the District Attorney is just one vile tool in their playbook.
I witnessed this Fascist behavior on March 5 when these people engaged in a display of disruption and intolerance at a Rally in Alamo Square.
Rather than be chastened these people proudly Trumpet their vile activies.
Today’s disruption occurred in front of the Media. Hopefully outlets other than The Standard will expose these Fascist like actions for what they really are. An assault on Democracy.
Excerpted from The Standard 4.11.2022
San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin announced a lawsuit Monday against a Southern California law firm that allegedly abused the Americans with Disabilities Act to target small businesses for financial gain.
Monday’s press conference turned chaotic as several pro-recall protesters gathered outside of the shop and began shouting at Boudin. The recall campaign also issued a statement after the news conference.
Boudin—the progressive prosecutor who’s facing a recall in June—is teaming up with Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, who formerly served as DA in San Francisco, to sue Potter Handy, LLP, a San Diego-based law firm that has represented clients who filed numerous lawsuits against small businesses based on ADA laws. Many cases were based on fraudulent claims, Boudin said, and they are believed to have ended with business owners paying thousands of dollars in settlements.
“Small businesses are such a valuable part of our city and our community,” Boudin said in the news conference at Magical Ice Cream shop on Grant Avenue in Chinatown. “This is also one of the 250 small businesses that have been victimized by fraudulent lawsuits.”
The lawsuit is asking the firm to immediately stop filing similar ADA lawsuits and to return settlement money it has received to small businesses. Potter Handy didn’t respond to a request for comment.
