I left my fart in San Francisco ...

And the san francisco police are powerless to arrest him

And the san francisco police are powerless to arrest him

Reader Barometer Soup sends along this little slice of San Francisco life.

In November, San Francisco voters elected radical liberal Chesa Boudin as the city’s newest district attorney based on his promises not to prosecute so-called “quality of life crimes” like public urination, defecation, and camping on the sidewalk, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

“We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes,” he said. “Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted. Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted; we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness.”

Boudin was raised by criminals involved in the Weather Underground, a Communist revolutionary group best known for domestic terrorism in the 1970s, including the bombings of the Pentagon and police memorials, as well as arson attacks.

Boudin’s parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were sentenced to lengthy prison sentences for their roles in the robbery of an armored vehicle that left three police officers dead in 1981.

Chesa Boudin was raised in Chicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, both founders of the Weather Underground who have gone on to become influential in liberal politics.

Chesa Boudin previously worked in the San Francisco Public Defenders Office after graduating from Yale Law School in 2011. Before that, Boudin worked as a translator for Hugo Chavez during his tenure as the Socialist president of Venezuela.

San Franciscans voted for this, so no tears here.
