The frequent raids are surely part of the understanding that the police department or the city government has with the institution proprietors, an understanding that involves massive lubricity payments to certain city accounts. The arrestees are probably minimally charged or just turned loose after the vice-crackdown headlines fade.

Sanctuary cities essentially create a non-citizenry that can conduct illegal activities with impunity. Authorities are inclined to look the other way lest they get dragged into a civil rights case.

When naked men tried to patronize restaurants, placing towels on the seats, even SF had to draw the line.

Wonder why Muslim terrorists don’t target gay pride parades or the Folsom Street Fair. Wouldn’t a suicide vest be largely unnoticed among the other leather getups?
