This is a case that galvanized me several years ago, the case of Troy McAllister, who was a repeat offender who killed two people on New Year's Eve.

I think it was like 2020, 2020.

And he was arrested four times in the year before that he ended up killing these two people.

And he had a very, very long criminal history.

He had committed armed robbery before, stolen many cars.

And he should have been in jail.

He should not have been released.

But he was basically released thanks to the zero bail policies of Chesa Boudin, who was then the district attorney who he got recalled.

There was a huge outcry.

I mean, even in San Francisco, for there to be a recall of a – I mean, you've got to be like seriously left-wing to basically alienate San Francisco.

And Chesa Boudin managed to be so far out there that he alienated even San Francisco.

And yet –

I don't know why Tory McAllister isn't sentenced already and in jail for 20 years plus, but his case is still pending through the courts, never ending.

And there's a left-wing judge who's considering just giving him diversion.

Basically means you just get released, maybe with an ankle bracelet or something.

That's insane.

So, I mean, that's what we're dealing with in San Francisco.

I mean, like crazy left-wing judges who want to release all the criminals.

And...

You know, and so I just wonder, like, is Daniel up against too many constraints?
