Ex-Cons in San Francisco May Soon Enjoy ‘Protected Class’ Status
Pajamas Media ^ | July 18, 2011 | Jack Dunphy

When I grow weary of being a lonely conservative in Los Angeles, when I get frustrated at living in one of the bluest of cities in the bluest of states, when I begin to despair of being represented by a liberal at every last level of local, state, and federal government . . .

I remind myself it could always be worse in San Francisco.

And indeed it is worse. San Francisco is a city of abundant beauty and charm, but it is governed by people so far out on the left fringe that they make their counterparts in Los Angeles look like pikers. For proof of this, I refer you to this story in the July 13 San Francisco Chronicle, in which it is reported that the city’s ex-convicts may soon enjoy “protected class” status, joining blacks, Latinos, homosexuals, the transgendered, pregnant women, and the disabled. Yes, you read that correctly: the city may soon adopt a law that will make it illegal to discriminate against criminals. The proposed law would bar landlords and business owners from inquiring about the criminal past of any prospective tenant or employee. As if to show they haven’t completely lost their minds, the law’s proponents say sex offenders and those convicted of “some violent crimes” would not be covered.

That’s it! I’m moving out of San Francisco. Wait a minute, I don’t live there.

Thank you, God.

So sex offenders wouldn’t be covered? They may want to rethink that. We’re talking about a huge voting bloc in SF.

Even by San Francisco standards, this one is a doozy!

The delicious irony of this is that nobody would be able to able to reject a person convicted of “hate crimes.”

Funny in a macabre way BUT true. As seniors in our mid 80’s
we live in Ft. Laud., but have to spend the summers in SF.
It does have the world’s best weather, compact city, close to so many beautiful sites. Just don’t read the Chron’s
editorials or watch the local news stations.

The businesses will beat this easily by just not hiring locally, but the landlords have it more difficult as their best market is local.

Looking at Pelosi’s perpetual goofy grin, I always figured they sold MDMA in vending machines in SF.

Can you confirm that?

When in SF, Pelosi is Debbie Wasserman East.
When in FTL, Debbie Wasserman is Pelosi West

You folks have my respect.

There is no way that I could put up with the people. I haven’t been there in decades, but I remember loving the hills, the old houses. the flowers and interesting buildings. I enjoyed the food of the area and the weather. I liked the wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, Trolly cars and the seabirds. I found the history of the city very interesting.

I suppose today, I would like a couple seniors in their 80’s, that continue to find enjoyment, in spite of all that garbage that has taken over.

I wish you wellness and smiles.....

Always liked SF and Oakland and did quite a bit of business there over the years. The best chow for this road warrior was right between the cities in Emeryville.
Trader Vic's is a legend.

We thank you rour nice comments. Yes, all you say is
true and that part hasn’t changed. As a ww2 vet, I
find that most share our politics. So, if in SF, look
for old timers. Most have their heads screwed on
tighter.

[Harry is getting a dressing-down for his most recent arrest]
District Attorney Rothko: You're lucky I'm not indicting you for assault with intent to commit murder.
Harry Callahan: What?
District Attorney Rothko: Where the hell does it say that you've got a right to kick down doors, torture suspects, deny medical attention and legal counsel? Where have you been? Does Escobedo ring a bell? Miranda? I mean, you must have heard of the Fourth Amendment. What I'm saying is that man had rights.
Harry Callahan: Well, I'm all broken up over that man's rights!
