A San Francisco store owner has slammed the Dem-led city's officials for failing to control its out-of-control crime wave, after a gang of thieves smashed into his tobacco shop and stole $100,000 in goods and cash.
Storeowner Zaid, an immigrant from Afghanistan, said lawmakers 'need to get a grip' on the city, feeling it has become 'worse than Afghanistan or Iraq'.
'At least in Afghanistan the Taliban will cut your hand off and people are afraid to commit such a crime,' he added to Fox News.
His remarks come as the West Coast metro continues to spiral into lawlessness, with homicides and robberies up 25 and 17 percent on last year respectively according to official crime statistics.
Shocking footage of the attack on Zaid's store saw a mob of thieves emerge from two vehicles on the street outside and begin smashing through his shop window.
After making their way inside, Zaid said it took the thugs just 20 minutes to 'ransack' his business, where they made off with around $80,000 in merchandise and $20,000 in cash in the Tuesday evening spree.
No arrests have yet been made following the incident, leading Zaid to hit out at soft-on-crime policies implemented by Democrat lawmakers.
'They know the police won't do anything,' he added, claiming the officers told him they are short-staffed when he reported the incident.
'We have a drugs issue, we have a homeless issue, and on top of this these idiots come in here and take whatever they want,' he said.
The Afghani immigrant has lived in the United States for over three decades after emigrating to the country in 1987, but he said San Francisco is worse than he has ever seen it.
'The city has gone downhill, especially the last 2 years since COVID, I’ve never seen it...

You can bet that the property tax collection unit and the code enforcement unit are FULLY staffed...
Maybe he could go back?
I mean if if it is better where he came from, why not?
I wonder if it’s bad enough to get them to vote Republican yet
He has been here over 30 years I do not think he will be going back. He is giving us a warning about how very bad it is here these days.
I believe that it is coming to this point. Hopefully enough will say they have had enough. As they say what do they have to loose?
If people realized the extent of STOLEN elections; local, state and federal, they'd be shocked.
For example, Chicago booted Lightfoot only to choose another ANTI-LAW-AND-ORDER Brandon Johnson? Uhhh, Hell and NO.
ON WHAT PLANET DOES A pRESIDENT WITH A 36% APPROVAL RATING SHAMELESSLY RUN FOR A SECOND TERM where apparently an order has gone out to other DemonRats NOT to run against him and they oblige? And YES he is going to WIN BY FRAUD AGAIN and Americans will just pretend they believe it.
San Fran feces.
Elections have consequences.
Stories “survived combat in the Middle East but were killed by an urban criminal not long after returning home in the US.”
March 27, 1991 (one example):
Army Specialist Anthony Riggs, whose murder on a Detroit street less than a week after he returned from the Gulf War provoked a national outcry over urban violence.
Something tells me the answer is no.
Yeah, as it turns out that was pretty much only one of two things I agree with Barack Obama on, the other one being don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to bleep things up.
And the consequences of 2020 and 2022 were disastrous for America!
And anyone and everyone who did deserves to burn forever!
One hundred year ago my mother’s immigrant parents were shopkeepers.
I don’t know what to say but that American systems have failed, allowing great evil to be done.
Who wants to bet this useful idiot votes straight democrat?
An immigrant once said something like:
“I was told the streets of America were paved with gold, but they were not paved at all, and I was expected to pave them.”
Probably correct
Good point.
It's a shame that if he revealed that he voted Republican, the Democrats felons in charge would use the laws to attack him.
