Truly amazing to see SF libs with BLM signs in their windows to start frothing at the mouth demanding the summary execution of the poors

      Look on the Crimes, ye Lefties, and despair!

      Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

      Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

      The lone and level asphalt stretch far away.

      A few years ago I stayed with a relative in North Beach. They constantly monitored their exterior surveillance cameras. One night they were on the verge of shitting their pants in fear of a home invasion after seeing a poor person stand near the garage for a minute. Every black person on the street is a robber casing the place, every creak of the floorboards at night is a serial killer breaking in.

      When the revolution comes, just get a bunch of poor people to stand outside their houses for a few minutes. They'll die of a heart attack.

        im just guessing but do these relatives obsessively consume true crime shows/podcasts

          I don't think so. But they definitely consume lots of crime fiction.

          Also the A is back :xi-pog:

      At least r/bayarea turned on the automod stuff, but the brigaders still come in and vote/gild reactionaries like crazy.

      Also it's all Chesa's fault.

      My Houston NextDoor feed is just a steady stream of people freaking out over porch pirates.

      Like, holy fuck. If it's that big a deal, maybe stop ordering things delivery rather than posting constantly about someone staring into your yard.

      Same thing happened in r/Seattle after the shitlib brigade won the city elections: "People are tired of all the crime!" The crime: living in a tent

    Most of those "observations" are probably just people getting brainworms from having the media constantly bombard them with sensationalist crime reporting.

    Not SF related but somewhat relevant. Last time I visited Seattle I walked all over the city for two days and never ran into a single homeless person. Looking at twitter or Reddit you’d think you couldn’t walk a block without stumbling over half a dozen people strung out on heroin.

      there are homeless people literally EVERYWHERE in the Bay Area, especially in SF

      it's actually that bad

      crime has gone up but it's still pretty safe, it's just that the people that live here are spoiled babies who just want to grill and not look at the realities of capitalism

      Were you near downtown at all? Last time I visited there were plenty around. Definitely seems like fewer than SF or Portland in my experience, though.

        I’m used to walking a lot. The one day I went to Pike Place Market and then wandered over to Silver Platter’s record store before stopping at a Burger King where my friend picked me up.

          That area has a bit less of a concentration of homeless folks than others

    Oh great, the liberals are disingenuously co-opting the whole "listen to our lived experiences" thing. These people took the worst lessons from BLM.

      Satanic Panic 4.0

      We're doing the "LISTEN TO CHILDREN!" shit from the 80s and spinning it into another round of gestapo raids on minority communities.

    “Hmm, could the rise in low level shoplifting be caused by a lack of income? NO! It’s the magical shoplifting bill that is to blame”

    Also I guarantee the amount of shoplifting in rural California is higher like usual but since there’s no cops out there no one reports it.
