My heart is bursting. On the eve of my first child's birth, my dad - who's been in prison nearly my entire life - was granted clemency. He never intended harm, yet his crime devastated many families. My heart breaks for the families that can never get their loved ones back.

That last sentence seems so misplaced and disingenuous

Give the guy a break. He's spent a lifetime thinking about this crime. To suggest he's not both happy that his father is out, but mindful of those who were killed, is entirely unfair. I can't imagine even trying to craft a statement that captures all of that.

his parents were domestic terrorists that killed policemen. (not just your "run of the mill" criminal) He was let out last minute by a disgraced Mayor. Now Chesa is celebrating it - what about the family of the fallen police officers? Bet their heart is not bursting!

Certainly fair to ask, "What about the families of the officers and the guard?" But that raises a broader question: what is the appropriate punishment for certain crimes, and for this particular crime? Is 40 years enough? In any case, I think Chesa is the wrong target here.

Say that it's fair to hold that view of his parents, and that their debt can never be paid. Fine. Should Chesa not be happy his Dad is out? Or just be silent? And do you apply your standard across the board? To those terrorists who beat and maimed 100+ cops on Jan. 6?
