——The city, known for a political tradition of empathy for the downtrodden, is now divided over whether to respond with more muscular law enforcement or stick to its forgiving attitudes.——
You can’t fix stupid or libtard...
Forgive the criminals....you get more crime....
Is it really that hard?
Numerous years ago (about 15-20), SF decided to “solve” their homeless crisis by giving them an allotment of money every month.
It was obvious to anyone with a lick of sense that this would cause a HUGE influx of homeless to get over to SF for the free money. Sure enough, every homeless, drug addict, and grifter within a 300 mile radius made haste to get to SF for the free money. When the city became overwhelmed, they reversed course and stopped the policy. But they stayed.
So I guess that it is that hard for them to figure it out.
This empathy seems like self hate and suicide to me. Is he actually encouraging criminals to kill him because of the social divide?
