Chicago City Wire

Cook County District Attorney Kim Foxx is offering condolences to a fellow George Soros-backed district attorney in the death of his convicted cop-killer mother.

"My heart goes out to @chesaboudin and his family as they mourn the loss of Kathy Boudin," Foxx posted on Twitter. "During her lifetime, she worked to offer services and support to those managing the criminal justice system, all while championing restorative justice practices."

Chicago Contrarian flagged Foxx’s comment.

“This tweet should make your stomach turn. Kathy Boudin coaxed two POs who responded to the robbery of an armored car to lower their weapons," Chicago Contrarian posted on Twitter. "Boudin's accomplices then killed both officers. @KimFoxx paid tribute to a member of the Weather Underground."

Kathy Boudin was a member of the Weather Underground, a radical leftist group most active in a string of domestic terrorist incidents in the 1960s and '70s.

Boudin was part of a plot to bomb a military base that backfired when the bombs she and her fellow communism-inspired terrorists exploded in their Greenwich Village townhome. She fled the wreckage of that explosion and was on the FBI’s most wanted list.

In 1981, she was part of an armed robbery in which three uniformed officers lost their lives.

Brinks security guard Peter Paige was killed during the robbery. Gunmen also opened fire on police when Boudin was later stopped while serving as a getaway driver. Two policemen — Sgt. Edward J. O’Grady and Officer Waverly L. Brown — were killed in part due to Boudin’s actions.

She was later convicted of murder and robbery and was sentenced to 20 years to life in 1984. She served 22 years before being released in 2003.

Boudin’s husband, David Gilbert — father to San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin — was also arrested and convicted for the three murders.

Upon Boudin's release, O’Grady’s widow told the New York Times she did not see "a shred of guilt, shame or remorse felt by inmate Boudin."

Boudoin’s son, Chesa, is now the San Francisco district attorney. He was raised in Hyde Park by former Weather Underground members and now prominent Democrats, University of Illinois at Chicago education professor Bill Ayers and Northwestern University law professor Bernardine Dohrn, Hyde Park Herald reports.

Leftist billionaire George Soros provided $2 million to Foxx’s campaign in 2020. Despite the hefty campaign help, Foxx denied "coordinating with anyone related to Soros," Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Chesa Boudin is a former public defender who once served as a translator for the deceased Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. Boudin also received support from Soros.

Boudin is known for a soft-on-crime approach that incorporates cashless bail, an issue that many say has caused the air of criminality in Chicago and Cook County.

Fifty-nine attorneys have resigned from his office since he took over.

Foxx is just one high profile Democrat in Illinois Soros has supported. He also provided funds for Illinois Congresswoman Marie Newman’s 2020 campaign, Prairie State Wire reported.

Chesa Boudin’s approach to crime in San Francisco had led to increasingly worse crime rates. Now wealthy San Francisco residents are banding together to support their opponents, as reported by Jacobin.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, 65% of the city’s residents said they avoid downtown due to the out-of-control crime rates, and 70% of voters have said they would vote to recall Chesa based on their perception of his office’s work.

Similarly, crime under Foxx’s regime has become a more typical occurrence for individuals in and around Chicago. Over the last few years, crime rates have risen drastically, with murder rates reaching record highs not seen since 1994.

Auto thefts climbed by 45%, thefts grew by 61% and burglaries jumped by 33% in 2022 alone, Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Chicago had eight homicides on a single day in early April. Many people blame the crime problems on Foxx and Cook County's failure to incarcerate offenders.
