It seems like it's hard to know: No, man, no. It's not hard to know. Pro-crime policies increase crime. That's what they do, and that's their entire purpose

It seems like it's hard to know: No, man, no. It's not hard to know. Pro-crime policies increase crime. That's what they do, and that's their entire purpose. Everyone here seems to think this guy was acting in good faith. No. He comes from a proud terrorist tradition [1], and he's playing his part. Almost every "right wing" news source points out that he is bankrolled by George Soros, and the left (Who could hardly stop repeating "Koch Brothers" whenever they could) needs to realize that there are powerful forces out their intentionally trying to harm society. [1] Literally.

Is he also a “secret Muslim trying to bring Sharia law to the US?” I think we should check his birth certificate.

  He is Jewish, and his terrorist parents were Weathermen (Weatherpersons?), not Al-Qaida or their ilk.

    So we are judging people by what his parents supposedly did?

      Not supposedly did, they were both convicted of felony murder and spent decades in prison (his father being only recently being released as one of Andrew Cuomo's last acts in office). He was raised by the leaders of the Weather Underground, who were smarter and left the actual murdering to underlings and so were never prosecuted. As for Boudin himself, he's the one who keeps bringing up his parents during his original campaign and all the puff pieces whenever he is interviewed. His stance is that his parents' imprisonment was the grave injustice, not that they were responsible for the murder of two policemen (including the first Black officer in Nyack, NY) and a security guard. It's worth noting his privileged mother got the best legal defense you can get (her lawyer father's partner) and was sentenced to far less than her husband, the latter got 75 to life and she 20 years to life. When she was released, she was promptly hired as an assistant professor by Columbia and got her own department to manage, clearly the difficulties felons face in finding employment did not apply to her.

That's a weird comment—the left recognizing that there are powerful forces out there intentionally trying to harm society is why they keep on about the Koch brothers.
