San Fran DA Chesa Boudin Stands Up For Shoplifters And Drug Dealers Tyler Durden's Photo

But the shoplifters have got a defender, too -- in San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. So do the drug dealers. The only problems that Chesa sees are the victims.

Which tells us a lot about the state of moral bankruptcy of the wokester movement, and what the New Yorker dismisses as the "backlash."

According to the Daily Mail, citing an interview in the New Yorker, after a viral video surfaced in June of a thief stuffing oodles of goods from a Walgreens into a trash bag and then riding his bike through the store unencumbered on the way out:

'When I watch that video, I think about five questions that people are not asking that I think they should,' Boudin told The New Yorker

'Is he drug addicted, mentally ill, desperate? Is he part of a major retail fencing operation? 

'What's driving this behavior and is it in any way representative, because it was presented as something symptomatic?' 

The question that doesn't occur to him is whether the thefts are illegal. Or whether continuous unpunished crime is seriously disruptive to any society of lawful order.

In fact, according to the New Yorker, Boudin embraces the logic of looters from Black Lives Matter from over the summer:

Boudin said, "If Walgreens has insurance for certain goods or they expect a certain amount of loss, if they would rather not risk lawsuits or escalation to violence—then maybe that's something we should know about."
