Chesa Boudin, son of infamous Brink's truck robbers, elected San Francisco DA nypost.com/2019/11/11/che… via @nypost
The son of a couple who helped kill two cops and a guard in the infamous Brink’s armored-car robbery was just elected district attorney of San Francisco.
Chesa Boudin learned he won the hotly contested race Saturday — while flying back from visiting his convict dad in an upstate New York prison, the LA Times reported.
Boudin was 14 months old when his parents, David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin, members of the domestic-terror group Weather Underground, dropped him off at a baby-sitter’s Oct. 2, 1981, and helped pull off the heinous heist in Nanuet in Rockland County.
Nyack police Sgt. Edward O’Grady and Officer Waverly “Chipper” Brown, as well as Brink’s guard Peter Paige, were killed in the robbery and its aftermath nearly four decades ago.
The Underground committed the crime along with the Black Liberation Army in the hopes of scoring dough to continue to fund their joint anti-government campaign.
Chesa Boudin ended up being raised by Weather Underground leaders, and friends of @BarackObama, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in Chicago while his parents were shipped off to prison.
