"When did San Francisco turn into Bogota?"

No comparison at all.

In Bogota, private security guards would have opened up with submachine guns and taken out most of the thieves before they got back to their getaway cars.

Huge difference.

Just as long as we keep the perpetrators out of prison. Must save room for the true criminals: the unvaccinated.

As my liberal LA neighbor lectured me when I asked her to grab an Amazon box delivered to me while I was on vacation, I shouldn’t get upset when someone who needs my package more than me steals it.

SF turned into Bogota when they elected Communists to run the place.

Why I never shop at malls or department stores any more, and I write about fashion for a living. And reason #4,653 why we’re leaving California by 2023.

Decriminalizing crime is all part of the 0bama/Soros/Biden plan to tear down and destroy the U.S. Then they will rebuild it into their own personal version of Venezuela.

Because of non-Covid related news stories like this, I concealed carry everywhere now and recently started carrying extra magazines. It will eventually morph into mass armed robberies and assaults. Until people who commit these sort of crimes are held accountable, the crimes will get worse and worse. And the police are not holding them accountable either because their hands are tied by local edicts or they fear THEY will wind up being the only people charged with any crimes or maybe even they have tried so hard for so long and seen no progress so they gave up. Brandon’s ‘dark winter’ is getting darker…

It is super sad to read these stories of my beloved San Francisco. I was born in the City by the Bay in the 1960's and was raised just north over the Golden Gate bridge (1960's-1970's). It was a magical time in a magical place. It was filled with working class families. It was safe, and I grew up having a lot of freedom.

It is shameful what has happened to one of the most beautiful cities on the West coast. Makes me want to cry.

Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely! These folks keep voting for the same people and maintaining party lines and lotalty and this is the result of years and years of this type of voting. When you vote only for what you can get, eventually we all suffer and it backfires. Vote for whats best for America and not always whats best for you.

you make a joke of it, but we can't rule out that this law is at least in part motivated by the desire to impair the ability of brick and mortar retailers to compete with online retailers.

Speaking of non-covid news, it seems like places with no covid restrictions have no covid news, while place with restrictions have all kinds of covid problems. What's going on with that?

This what the people in Bay Area wanted. I hope they enjoy the outcome. Please do not move to red states to escape your self-created cesspool and vote just as you did back home.

Soft on crime thanks to the Soros DA trend sweeping America. I'll say for sure this is the fastest way to loose centrist Democrats and independent voters. Just like vax data, when things get real like you have a loved one drop dead from the vax or your city, shop or neighborhood experiences direct, personal crime, shit gets real in a hurry. Also the tizzy from leftist idiots over the Rittenhouse verdict just does not ring true to many average citizens. There has been (not enough) some fair coverage of the facts that my above referenced demographics understand people will not stand by and let their homes and businesses burn in the name of some false racial reckoning. Blacks demanding respect without putting in the work to earn it are wearing thin on many of us. After decades of trying to follow MLK into a colorblind society, we are now oppressors and racist. Enough. I'm calling BS. You want racist? Keep going like this and you will create millions. Pray. Plan. Prepare. Resist.

Well this is one of the many ways the leftists destroy the structure of a nation that is mostly based on Bible principles and used a capitalist model to be industrious and prosperous by the Lord's providence. To my American neighbours who seek to be God-fearing decent folks, resist resist resist resist the evil unto death.

On another note since Alex mentioned "Climate Change"(a profound all-encompassing green-is-the-new-red environmental fraud by the UN with their Agenda 21 OWO plan) ... i encourage folks to equip themselves with some more hard refuting scientific evidential knowledge that supposedly AGW is true which if they feel led, they can share;

Easy solution. Arrest the DA, the mayor and chief of police for malfeasance.

These wacko half baked cookie short of the jar polits in cali allowed this to happen by not holding mayhem makers accountable early on. poor cowardly babies afraid of blm...give me a break, grow a pair please. those same polits should be forced to clean up the mess and pay restitution to the stores out of their own pockets. defund the police, hows that working for you cali....you have reaped what you have sown. no empathy for you now.....

I live in San Francisco. It’s a shit show. Even if these people get caught which is rare if they steal less than $900 all they get us a ticket. And they can do that over and over again on the same day as long as they keep stealing less than $900. Moreover the few that are caught are not prosecuted our DA believes these are not crimes that deserve jail. It’s cliché to say elections have Consequences but they do. But it’s not like he didn’t campaign on exactly what they’re delivering here so the voters bear some responsibility. But when you can only vote for someone who’s left and left of left there’s not much choice

Designed by Amazon. There will be no brick and mortar stores anymore. Just stay inside and order everything on line.

I hope more and more stores simply close shop. Then, maybe the cities will realize this can’t be tolerated. Recall what happened after the Watts riots. Most stores left and never came back.

How much longer are these "reparations" gonna be allowed? Especially after the scumbag who just ran over a crapload of children in his car in what is very likely one the worst hate crimes in US history.

I live in the Bay Area and we laugh at the liberals and communists that demand defunding the police and decriminalizing crime. It’s like an alcoholic: you have to reach the bottom before you are forced to change your life or die. The problem is, where is the bottom? Walnut Creek is an upscale area and shopping location, but they have been terrorized by BLM. Hayward Mall is a dump. SF is completely in decline and we can’t figure out why people from around the world would even want to waste their money going there, unless they want to watch a Social Justice experiment on fire.

We live in Southern California & it’s bad around here too. Two different people we know had their cars stolen this week. The police told one of them that some thieves will steal 5-7 cars/week- even steal one to get home from being released from jail. Only thing our Governor cares about is that everyone gets their covid shot.

Seems to be happening in several places. In Europe they blame the now open borders. Criminals from Romania etc. come in minibuses, harvest what they can and then flee over the highways at night back to where they came from with a nice loot. Same as happened in the middle ages, but now motorized.

Alex, WHAT’S the deal with NovaVax? Why isn’t anyone talking about why an apparently safe and effective (>90% with only mild side effects) vaccine hasn’t been approved for emergency use in the US? No friends of NIH on the Board? Months ago The Atlantic published an article about its promise. It’ll evidently be available everywhere but the US shortly.

This is about closing small businesses. In NYC people are being robbed at restaurants, stealing at retail stores and we don’t see them coming since they are conveniently wearing masks. Why isn’t the local Costco and Whole Foods being looted?

Where's the headline blaming the anti-vaxxers, Alex?

I think the politicians who run these places have been bought out, by people who have an interest in the matter, seeing their competition wiped out, so that if you want anything, you have to order it from Amazon or Instacart or an online retailer like that. It *will* destroy all small business. And since it's a Democrat-run city - as most of the places which allow this kind of thing are - the elections will be fake and rigged, since Democrats hate *democracy*. The only way these crooked pols are going to go out is feet first, like in any other kleptocracy - Bolivia comes to mind...

Maybe these idiot voters in this state will at least start thinking about their voting a bit more critically. A good start would have been kicking Newsome to the curb this year when they had the chance.

Newsom spoke about Kyle Rittenhouse: "You can break the law, carry around weapons built for a military, shoot and kill people and get away with it. That's the message we've just sent to armed vigilantes across the nation". No words about the mass looting and crime in CA. It seems crowbars aren't weapons, breaking windows, looting, robbing and stopping law enforcement from notifying authorities about illegals who committed crimes being let out of jail isn't against the law.

This was in answer to the shop lifting charges against blacks that got them criminal records, others saw them get away with it and joined in. As a part of our racial population blacks make up 13%, 50% of them have criminal records of various ranges. Lower felonies see anywhere for the beginner juvenile start out with several, which gets sealed at 18. Onto adult bigger felonies, 10-50 or more. The Penal Farm in Memphis, TN has a recidivism rate of 90%. This is a 11 month 29 day facility, they serve 90 days, if that, DUI'S serve their time on the weekends. It is not unusual for the same person to tie up 2-4 courts while out on bail having committed more crimes. Bail is granted in each case, why? NO room at the Jail 201 Popular, which houses the more violent offenders.

Like the medical system the criminal system needs serious reform. YOUR children go to school with the juvenile offenders, including Rapist. They, the teacher are totally unaware of this fact. Only the Principal knows, comes under the Privacy Act. These new no gender bathrooms, are a breeding ground for such males, put on a skirt claim you are tranny, and you are free to rape. 1 boy raped a 15 yr old girl, come to find out he'd been transferred from another school in Loudon, GA to her school and had rape charges pending in the first school. The father confronted the progressive school board in a open meeting seeking to have him removed from the school, justice for his traumatized daughter. That was when he was drug off by the police and charged with being a 'DOMESTIC TERRORIST' and the FBI brought in by the school board. The 1st rape then got revealed, it made a lot of news papers, parents started demanding schoolboards be held accountable for their Progressive decisions. WOKE, CRT, was being taught to 1st graders up sitting naked fondling each other, along with the no gender bathrooms. Then our Progressive president took up the 'DOMESTIC TERRORIST' CAUSE, AS IT THREATENED THE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA.

Parents are FED UP WITH THIS, THEY WANT THEIR CHILDREN SAFE, AND LEARNING THE BASICS, NOT TRANNY, LESBIAN, OR ANY OTHER OF THE CLAIMED 200 GENDERS. PUNISHED FOR MISGENDERING A STUDENT. ALL OF THIS IS BS. RACISM IS TAUGHT, NOT INHERIENT. What is Racist about 2 red fish and 2 blue fish in a repetitive child's book that helps them learn to read.

WE had very few COVID cases in children when they were Home Schooled or did Virtual Learning, teachers didn't like that it was to hard for the under educated teacher to learn to use Zoom; plus, no child in a brick and mortar school meant less State and Federal $$, so lobbied their UNION for your children to get the COVID VACCINE, WHILE THEY WERE REFUSING IT. A child must physically attend until noon for the school to get those $$. Now they are talking COVID VACCINES for INFANTS, they go to daycare after all. DAYCARE FOR ALL ALA OBAMACARE IS BEING PURPOSED. MEANS MORE MIDDLE CLASS TAXATION. Higher grocery prices is additional taxation, as is higher gas, utilities. We were for the first time in decades NO LONGER BEGGING OPEC FOR MORE OIL under President Trump. More people of all races were working, not on welfare, getting raises. We had a closed boarder, less illicit drugs coming into the USA. OD'S were down, gas was cheap as we were no longer begging OPEC FOR OIL, now with a open boarder that number has reached 100,000 and is still climbing. If your college kid OD'S, BLAME BIDEN! FOR LETTING IN THE ILLICIT DRUGS. HE TOLD THE BORDER PATROL TO STAND DOWN. Trump made rookie mistakes mostly on advice of those who hated him for beating Progressive Romney, or Cruz who wasn't as charismatic. Know the person you vote for! 40+ yrs of do nothing, no real town halls. no questions answered, a Press cheer leading salivating over him to be elected. Says he's happy to celebrate his 58th BD, when he will be 78.

Cursive was removed from learning as no longer needed, wrong, many of us have old documents written in cursive in old languages, that are not translated, paychecks and legal documents MUST BE SIGNED IN CURSSIVE. Common Core math better known as COMMIE CORE confused children, as my husband is a Math Major, who taught Jr College, his answer was some idiot wanted a PhD after their name so changed the way math is taught. Thus the the Algebra like COMMIE CORE was born, he had to explain it to our highly confused grandson, who went from the old 50's math to the COMMIE CORE math. 2+2 will always = 4, not 3 or 5. EITHER BE A PATRIOT OR A SLAVE. WE ARE NOT AUSTRILIA OR CHINA. WE ARE THE ONLY REPUBLIC IN THE WORLD. DR. FRANKLIN SAID WE GAVE YOU A REPUBLIC IF YOU CAN KEEP IT! YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE IT.
