This article is worth a re-read as it's been updated a few times now. Some key missing parts about why this man was roaming the streets have been filled in. Unfortunately, I believe this one lands on the DA's office. A few thoughts below.

Michelle Tandler 🔦 @michelletandlerThis is incredibly sad and disturbing. Two women were killed last night by this man. He was released last month after a burglary arrest.

In November McAlister was arrested for auto burglary, possessing burglary tools and violating the terms of parole. On Dec. 20, he was arrested on suspicion of car theft and possessing stolen property, methamphetamine, burglary tools and drug paraphernalia. (3/x)

The article states that "McAlister has been arrested in San Francisco on other occasions since being paroled, officials said, but details of those cases were not immediately available". 5+ felonies in two months after release from prison. The DA's office did not press charges.

A friend in government told me it's rare for parole officers to do much if no charges are filed... This man was a known violent criminal. He committed five felonies in Nov and Dec... He was set free and killed two women.

My heart goes out to the team at the DA's office. They must be devastated. I believe the DA's people are inherently good, and trying to make the world a better and more just place. This case serves as a powerful case study. I hope we make changes because of it.

I think it's worth noting that thousands of Americans get DUIs every year -- and are handed back their licenses. Many people kill and walk free (eg that Stanford MBA a few years back.) This case is complicated, and I'm disturbed by the pitchfork mentality towards Boudin.

This is an opportunity to re-evaluate policy, procedures, and our collective values around criminal justice. I hope we have a productive debate in the coming days. I personally have a lot to learn and better understand. (Fin)

there will be no productive debate - the issue with @chesaboudin is that he refuses to face these problems head-on as we would expect from an elected official. he feels no sense of responsibility to constituents or quite literally, their lives
