San Francisco Crime So Bad It’s Like Batman’s “Gotham City”

As the saying goes, “Coit the pig, pay the price.” San Francisco has been politically engaging in intimate relations with swine for decades. This is what happens. If they need a reason they can look in the mirror.

FNC: “San Francisco residents weary of car break-ins, looting and other crimes told Fox News that crime in the city ‘is a bad situation.’

Recently, the liberal Mayor of San Francisco announced a state of emergency in the Tenderloin neighborhood of the city to crack down on crime and drug use. ‘We are in a crisis and we need to respond accordingly,’ Mayor London Breed said at a press conference.”

Residents like are agreeing that crime has become much worse. Several spoke to local press. Last names were omitted per request. “I’ve just noticed that there’s a lot more, you know, like car break-ins and a lot of things,” a woman named Marilyn said.

Clint told media, “I’m as left as they come and I’ve been pushed more to the middle because of this kind of policy…The whole policy for years now has been like just hands-off, let them do whatever they want … It’s terrible. It’s brutal,” he said. He compared it to the city from “Batman”, saying, “It’s f——- Gotham right now.”

Another local, Gino, said of his business, “They broke in and stole a bunch of stuff,” he said. He added that his grocery store is “now it’s boarded up.” Marilyn, again, said she is frustrated “whether it’s Safeway or Walgreens, I see people stealing even though there’s a police officer at every door.”

“I think that the shoplifting is pretty bad, and maybe that has something to do with the difference between a felony shoplifting and also a misdemeanor,” Bill said. A woman named Charice said, she tries to “maneuver around the crime” and that she does not “really see it ending anytime soon…Unfortunately, that’s kind of just how we have to live. “It’s going to be a while, I think, before things turn around here,” she concluded.

This is all because of the Marxist Democrat city government’s defund the police policies. Says the head of the local police union, “Rampant retail theft and violent smash and grab robberies plaguing San Francisco have increased the demand from local and national retail businesses for protection from this epidemic. Unfortunately, there are simply not enough San Francisco police officers to keep all of these stores and shoppers safe,” Tony Montoya, president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, said in a statement.

“Mayor Breed’s announcement yesterday to deploy more police officers to address the unacceptable level of crime in portions of our city, namely the Tenderloin, is an acknowledgment that the push to defund the SFPD was a mistake,” he added. Marxist chickens coming home to roost.
