The love affair of the hippies which started in the early 60’s was short lived. They built a partnership with the Hell’s Angels in the mid 60’s that grouped together two different cultures that both were outside the law. One was drugs and the other was violence and drugs. But it fell apart in the next 10 to 20 years as the hippies couldn’t provide the adrenalin rush with their kick back lifestyle the Angels needed. So the lovers left to North Beach and south in LA to Venice and the violent people stayed. The Angels had been their since 1948 when the first club was created.

So this is not a real change from what’s been there for over 70 years. It just has been given the golden ticket with the created mistrust and lack of support as the only thing between people and the violence/drugs/rapes/kidnappings...law enforcement, has been made the villain.

When you take out the only thing between you and major problems by, at the least, misrepresenting police as the bad guys to be feared and not utilized, the real bad guys will float to the surface. And you got exactly what you advertised for.

Who did they vote for?

Tell me that. Maybe I’ll care.

Probably not, though.

Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Screw that, call in an air strike. Make it “danger close” so you get all of ‘em.

Wait a minute.

No cops. "Soros" DA. Commie Mayor. Free love. Legalized MJ. Streets for toilets. Drugs galore. No "rules". Everything "free" from any store. Homeless living in tents on every corner. LGBTQ mainstreamed.

Didn't they vote for that?

Viting blue obtains Blue America results, especially including violent crime, fecal matter in streets, and shoplifting. Enjoy it!

The Haight is highly gentrified, with multi- million dollar old Victorian houses. The limousine liberals are reaping their rewards of voting Demmaroid.

Just call the social workers. They know how to console, and can help them get to the right agency where they can get drugs, a hot meal, and some cash. Social Workers are fixing America, starting in San Francisco.
