> Trump just pardoned the violent attackers of Jan6
He let violent criminals out of jail. Unsurprisingly, they’re going on to commit crime. It’s wild how similarly the far left and right act when they’re given power; in an alternate universe, Chesa Boudin is pardoning them because abolish prisons or whatever.
Crime is too macro for an individual DA to have an effect. Chesa wasn't responsible for any increase or decrease, during his time nor after. Same for Trump's J6ers. They're not going to move the needle. Instead, mine is a micro argument: there are specific, preventable crimes one can trace to each of their actions. And those actions are remarkably similar in practical effect once you wipe away the dressing.
Spare us your bothsidism: Trump released political terrorists with a clear idea to give them a chance to do it again. Chesa Boudin pardoned criminals with the clear idea to give them a chance to start a new life.
