The San Francisco Experience on Chesa Boudin


I found  Jim Herlihy's podcast on Chesa Boudin very interesting, but I have a couple of questions.


He doesn't pronounce his last name the way it looks in French, right?  He pronounces it BouDEEN.  

I'm glad Jim Herlihy clarified that he doesn't really think that "the sins of the fathers are visited on the children,." a quote he uses.

I heard a podcast with Chesa Boudin--either Heather Knight or Joe Garofoli was doing the interviewing. The interviewer said that some police officers were telling people that there was no need to file a report because Chesa Boudin wouldn't prosecute,  and he said that he prosecuted 80% of the cases that were brought to him, if I remember correctly.  I think the DA's office was one of Jim's sources.  I wonder whether he found that statistic.

Fascinating that there's now an app to navigate piles of feces!

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
