Lee Heidhues – June 7, 2023
IT WAS ONE YEAR AGO TODAY WHEN ONE OF THE MOST DISGRACEFUL EVENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO HISTORY OCCURRED.
THE POLITICAL LYNCHING OF PROGRESSIVE DISTRICT ATTORNEY CHESA BOUDIN.
LED BY MAYOR LONDON BREED AND FUNDED WITH 9M IN MAGA MONEY.
THIS ACT OF TREACHERY HAS SENT SAN FRANCISCO INTO A DOOM LOOP OF INCREASING CRIME AND ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.
FORTUNATELY, CHESA BOUDIN @chesaboudin HAS LANDED ON HIS FEET.
HE HAS BEEN SELECTED AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE UC BERKELEY CRIMINAL LAW & JUSTICE CENTER @BerkeleyLawCLJC

I wrote the following the night before the June 7 vote. As the polls were closing at 8pm on election day I cycled out to Sutro Heights Park and took a walk around the grounds as the sun set on Chesa Boudin’s time as San Francisco District Attorney.

Ousted in a political Coup d’etat.

A moment of shame which San Francisco will never live down. It will rank up there with the assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk in November 1978. Sadly George Moscone’s widow, Gina passed away on election day.
