San Francisco would defy federal law with safe injection sites
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | May 22, 2018 | Heather Knight

Safe injection site seems to be an oxymoron. Can't get a bag when I go shopping in San Francisco but I can get a free needle and a place to shoot up. Wonder if they will re-open the opium dens in Chinatown soon?

Anywhere you have actively using junkies, the space isn’t safe.

If they really wanted to make it ‘safe’, they would provide the doctor, nurse and a clean supply of pure heroin..........................

San Francisco has been a butt injection site for decades. What has changed?

Someone will wind up poisoning the needles and these centers will wind up with hundreds of dead. They’ll figure out some way to blame Trump for it.

Only two locations?

Just tell the Junkies to go to Starbucks.

They all have safe private Injection Rooms that anyone can use.

The drug and homeless problem can be solved with a wall. These sites need to be isolated from society. Get the homeless (drug users) to agree by giving them food, shelter, and the drug of choice. Get the left to agree by putting a voting booth in the homeless shelter at election time. And get the rest of us to agree by fencing the site off and not permitting them to panhandle or sleep on the street.

BTW, a wall also solves the border and the school safety issues. When will we see it?

Great idea! StarSucks is in the "can't-say-no" mode now anyway.

Unsurprising. Male queers were never prosecuted well over a decade ago for infecting 100s of young boys with HIV in the gay Bay Area. Public health knew it, reported it, but never was a single homo prosecuted for statutory rape or knowingly spreading a death sentence to kids.

California likes to ignore a lot of laws.

They seem to be heading toward Anarchy with a high tax burden. That’s an unusual choice.

The Federal government needs to lower the boom on Moonbeam and his Liberal cabal in Sacramento. Liberals, thanks to voter fraud, illegals, felons, and the dead have turned the State of California into a Liberal sewer! People are leaving as fast as they can 24/7.

I believe FR Behind Liberal Lines posted about Ithaca, NY setting aside safe places for this same thing about a year ago....so SF is not the only site. Two really, really messed up cities!
