A breakfast to tout the importance of passing an earthquake-safety bond measure on the June ballot wound up sending shock waves through San Francisco's Arab American community after Police Chief George Gascón made controversial remarks about terrorism.

Gascón reportedly said the Hall of Justice at 850 Bryant St. is susceptible not just to an earthquake, but also to members of the city's Middle Eastern community parking a van in front of it and blowing it up.

sNort. I copy that.

Islam is fundamentally incompatible with the ideals of freedom & individual liberty.

We should stop pretending that it is. Past time to start calling a spade a spade.

I am sure an amish buggy parked out front, with explosives, would have the same result. He just needs to clarify his statement.

However, it’s oaky doaky if the Secretary of Homeland Security says right wingers are likely to blow up government buildings.

Muslims have their feelings hurt much too easily. Part of living in a free country is the likelihood that one will be offended by the speech of another. Muslims really need to buck it up and stop whining.

No sympathy for Gascón, the hypocrite.

George Gascón, as police chief of Mesa, AZ, is the weasel that went to Washington to testify against Sheriff Arpaio before Rep. John Conyers committee! Gascón got run out of Arizona for being anti-Arpaio.

Yes I am aware of those and thought since he was in the city (SFO) flowers would be just the right touch.
