Hmm! this reporter had a front gate on his property.
Has he been pro illegals and bums in SF streets/parks in the past.
No I don't agree with the invasion of his home, but "bashing the front gate of his home with a sledgehammer", makes one wonder.
A lot of those houses, very close together, have iron gates as a first barrier over their front doors. I believe this is what he was talking about.
