After reading these comments, I want state, with absolutely no equivocation whatsoever, “Who?”

It takes a special sort of soul to read anything at all about the San Francisco vigilance committees and think that there might be something to emulate there.

Fuck you, lady. If you can't be bothered to learn to defend yourself why the fuck should I do it for you?

The correct answer to the "half naked man with a blanket" version of 20-30 feral hogs is why are you outdoors in an urban area after midnight without mace?

I'm sure the MRAs will be all over this one, complaining that she wants men to risk their disposable lives for her.

Aaaaaaaany day now.

Did she tweet all this from the comfort of her gated community?

“ It's 12:30am and your dog woke you up because it needs to go to the bathroom. You walk outside and sleepily shuffle down the street in your slippers. Suddenly you spot a man, half naked with a comforter draped over him, stumbling out of the park toward you. What do you do?”

Now hear me out Michelle, how bout you take your dog out when it’s still light out and then again in the morning. Don’t blame the unhorsed for your poor planning of dog care. That’s all the patience I have to teach you shit you should already know.

I am angry and I am sad and I am heartsick for this country and I wish I had the option of leaving here with my children and never coming back. 😪

In SF? She's not that rich.

Seriously, we have like, 1 in the city.

She probably has a condo downtown or some shit. And yeah, wandering the streets of a major American city after midnight you are going to see people who need help.

On more than one occasion I've had to my irritation been forced to listen to some schmuck who acts like people on heroin or painkillers become ravening monsters, like we're seconds away from a zombie apocalypse and at any moment while innocently walking down the street they'll be beaten to death and their corpses defiled and peed on by roving packs of wild-eyed drug addicts who are impervious, presumably, to anything but silver bullets with tiny crosses on them.

Imagine this scenario: It's 12:30am and your dog woke you up because it needs to go to the bathroom. You walk outside and sleepily shuffle down the street in your slippers. Suddenly you spot a man, half naked with a comforter draped over him, stumbling out of the park toward you. What do you do?

Say hi to Harry and keep walking.

Frankly, the worst part of this scenario is WALKING ON THE STREET WITH YOUR HOUSE SLIPPERS, WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ARE YOU?!

People definitely don't turn to drugs because they're miserable and want to alleviate that... and society does nothing to actually try to alleviate that pain... and expects you to basically pay to save your own life... there's definitely no systemic problems here caused by exploitation and dispossession... driven by rich tech founders and the vulture capitalists that rule San Fran not actually contributing to society...

Okay seriously guys, how much of this SF crime stuff is hype. My family and I plan on visiting SF in June. We are staying near the airport and taking the train in to the Embarcadero station and walking the walking tour to Fisherman’s wharf to go to Alcatraz.
