Shortly after George Gascón turned my bicycle accident into the Crime of the Century™, he was run out of San Francisco by BLM activists and Colin Kaepernick for not prosecuting any police murders, including that of Mario Woods, who was executed by what Gascón proudly referred to as “a firing squad.”
Now Gascón is being run out of Los Angeles by victims’ rights activists for being too soft on crime.
My feelings on this are complicated, at best.
San Francisco once had a corrupt, law-enforcement-simping, pro-crime-porn DA (George Gascón) who BLM ran out of town over the Mario Woods murder-by-police (same reason Colin Kaepernick took a knee). Chesa Boudin, a former public defender and *actual genuine criminal justice reformer* replaced Gascón, who pissed off nearly everyone in SF by not being reform-minded enough, and is now currently pissing off nearly everyone in LA by being TOO reform-minded. Now both are facing recall and Chesa is probably going to tell us why that’s a bad idea. I half agree with him! Boy, this is complicated.
