This is absolute BS. It isn't "news reporting" it is injecting a narrative into the story to create the story.
I’m sure the SFO police paid no attention to this weirdo bc he looked perfectly normal for that city. I’m reminded of when they filmed the Star Trek movie with Spock and Kirk returning to 20th century San Francisco and both wearing bizarre Space Age getups. The producer figured that they could save on extras by just filming the reaction of San Franciscans when they passed by the strangely dressed duo. The film crew got absolutely no reaction from the passersby as the abnormal is fully normal in San Francisco.
