      Let’s be clear. Language from white people about the need for husbands to protect their wives from crime is code language that has justified police brutality, mass incarceration, and the killing of Black people in this country for centuries.https://www.sfgate.com/bay-area-politics/article/Chesa-Boudin-San-Francisco-crime-KKK-tweet-aide-16296205.php …

      (1/x) BLM iSF did NOT support @GeorgeGascon @LADAOffice. They spent years protesting outside his home/his office. But BLM LA led by Melina supported old Georgie. AND now BLM in LA is tweeting in support of @chesaboudin @SFDAOffice and his SF posse - FFS stick to your own city.

      You don’t know what you’re talking about and at some pt, you lose all credibility. We are reaching that pt.

      BLM SF did not support Gascon because he was too conservative in SF - he wouldn’t prosecute police shootings, mainly. Source: I worked on then-SFDA Gascon’s re-election campaign as a consultant before he dropped and moved to LA. Check for Foglight Strategies in campaign records

      (1/x) He dropped out and moved to LA bc he was going to lose in SF. Everyone in SF knows this. He didn’t even have the courage to be honest w his staff about it and used his mom as a scapegoat for why he couldn’t work as much anymore.

      (2/x) You’re right that he wasn’t as far to the left in SF as he is now, but that’s not why he wasn’t going to be re-elected. He wasn’t going to be re-elected bc he had a ton of baggage and his policies weren’t working. People were over it.

      (3/x) that’s why 65% of San Franciscans voted for the more traditional DA candidates. It’s also why they laugh at his win in LA. It’s the height of irony to be charging sentencing enhancements in Sept 2019 and then go to LA in Oct 2019 and be against all enhancements

      (4/x) and no, Chesa’s win is not highlighting to SFers their privilege. It’s making everyone more conservative. If you lived in SF, you’d realize this. You guys were leading a movement and now you’re digging your own graves.

      (5) now what I’d like to know is who paid for you consulting services…my guess is that the money came from Real Justice PAC, but that’s just a hunch

      You made a few interesting points, but then you had to go ad hominem as well as assuming things. No, I think SK is a fraud and I’ve said so publicly — to substantial professional detriment.

          I didn’t personally attack you. Maybe you’re referring to “digging your own graves,” but that doesn’t fit the definition of ad hominem. I did make an assumption that I myself highlighted by saying it was a guess and then asking you if that were the case.

          It’s not totally wrong bc you worked at the appeal, which was funded by Real Justice PAC.
