When George Gascón became San Francisco's police chief, it was a revelation. He held news conferences without checking with higher-ups, and called back reporters promptly to offer unvarnished opinions. Compared with the usual bunker mentality at SFPD, it was a whole new world.
I once asked someone in City Hall if Gascón would be asked to tone it down.
"They'll let him go until he puts his foot in it," they said.
This week he did.
At a breakfast meeting Wednesday to discuss the earthquake-safety bond measure, Gascón veered off onto the topic of terrorism. He said that San Francisco has a large number of immigrants from Yemen and Afghanistan, and added that those are two countries where international terrorism often emanates.
Others told The Chronicle they heard him say the Hall of Justice is susceptible to members of the city's Middle Eastern community parking a van in front of it and blowing it up.
Dumb, dumb and dumb.
The last thing you want to do in San Francisco is imply that the diversity of the city is somehow dangerous or unfortunate.

Now, watch it happen and have him turn out to be right.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving city!
I can’t understand why he’d accept the job in ‘Frisco to begin with.
He used to butt heads with Sheriff Joe in Mesa, AZ.
it`s called Post-Chrismas Day Yemini Underwear Bomber
Precautionary Measures-
or haven`t we learned anything after 10 years?
This is funny because when old Georgy boy was in Mesa illegals could do no wrong. Does Senor Gascon has a little racist problem maybe?AWB
They could be doing us a favor.
This is why I tell my fellow conservatives that there are but two things worth a damn in that city: 1) the SF Giants, and 2) Pier 23, which is one bar in the City you don’t have to worry about dropping anything. Take that and AT&T Park, make it part of a floating island somewhere in the Bay, and the tectonic plates can have their way with the rest.
This presumably serious article reads exactly like one of John Semmens’s great FR satires. John do you think it’s even possible to satirize this? Maybe it was written tongue-in-cheek but I suspect not.
If the SOB had a serious bone in his body, he'd be all over the queer DA to issue an arrest warrant for Bill Ayers. He placed a bomb in the SFPD copshack that killed an officer and wounded others.
Tough Guy? No. More like Affirmative Action Anus.
Didn’t an Afgani drive into town from Fremont and shoot Jews on the street in the last year or two?
Yeah, but it’s fun to watch.
“They could be doing us a favor.”
Partially, perhaps. But, then again, they might manage to attack lots of urban Big Sh*tties.
How about the view from the top of the Mark?
Just because nasty things have happened several times already elsewhere and, almost daily worldwide, doesn't mean it can happen again.
Further, diversity is always rainbows and cotton candy, even if the darlings never have the desire to integrate, so at the very worse they are harmless and won't ever kill, maim or harm anyone.
Dumber!
Dumber!
and
Dumber!
