Pro-criminal terrorist sympathizer Chesa Boudin lands a gig at Berkeley Law

What should the future of the legal system look like? For the University of California, Berkeley, it should follow the pro-criminal ideology of the son of domestic terrorists.
Berkeley Law’s new Criminal Law and Justice Center will be led by former San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. In accepting the position, Boudin said “a lifetime of visiting my biological parents in prison” has “made clear that our system fails to keep communities safe and fails to treat them equitably.” If you had forgotten, Boudin’s parents were Weather Underground terrorists who took part in a robbery that killed a security guard and two police officers.

Inspired by his terrorist parents being locked up, Boudin made it his mission to make sure criminals avoided prison time no matter how serious their crimes were, culminating in his election as San Francisco’s district attorney. Boudin’s office oversaw a drop in felony prosecutions and an increase in shootings, burglaries, and hate crimes. Voters in liberal San Francisco were so displeased that they recalled him from office by a wide margin.
Now Boudin will be leading Berkeley law students in his pro-criminal ways at a time when violence and property crime in the city of Berkeley itself is at its highest point in a decade. It isn’t the biggest surprise that a law school that abandoned due process at a university that abandoned free speech would create a “Criminal Law and Justice Center” that abandons justice, but it is disappointing nonetheless.
Boudin’s terrorist-inspired view of law and order belongs nowhere near any level of power or influence. It made him a terrible district attorney and makes him a terrible voice to have on a law school staff. Boudin and other “prosecutors” like him who think that criminals should not be held accountable for their crimes would happily put people’s lives in danger to keep criminals out of prison. Now he is going to spread that garbage to the next generation of law students.
