SF supervisor says lack of tourists has criminals now targeting residents

It’s good to know that tourists in San Francisco were sacrificial fodder for criminals.

One of the things about the state of Florida is that they (we, I’m still a Florida boy at heart) protect the tourists.  They are our bread and butter.  You do not prey on the tourists.  The fastest way to find yourself the target of a statewide manhunt and a one way trip to daily ass-fuckings in a state prison shower is to get caught targeting tourists.

San Francisco… not so much.

A San Francisco neighborhood is shaken after a close call with a would-be theft was captured on surveillance cameras appearing to case vehicles outside a home in Bernal Heights.

“You can basically see him in the video with the flashlight, you know, going in, looking at the different inside cars and trying to kind of open the door and break into them,” said Ben Couillard.

Couillard said after three years of relative calm, the area where he lives near Peralta and Powhattan has been hit with a lot of crime lately including grand theft auto and garage burglaries.

In November, he said an armed burglar robbed his house while he and his wife were home.

“I have a baby on the way, like where this happens when we’re at home with our child. It’s pretty unsettling,” Couillard said.

Again, one of the many reasons Florida is better than California, if some scumbag breaks into a Florida home, there is a decent statistical probability that he will be carried out zipped into a big rubber bag.

San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen, District Attorney Chesa Boudin, and the captain of the police department overseeing the area, held a virtual town hall with residents of the community Wednesday night to address their concerns.

They attribute what they say is an increase in crime to “economic desperation” and “tourism has gone down so substantially in San Francisco that criminal rings that targeted tourists in areas that tourists frequent no longer have tourists there,” said Supervisor Ronen.

Oh, I guess it’s okay then.  This is the same place that allows criminals to shoplift up to $950 in merchandise, so if they are needy they can break into people’s homes too.

Boudin is the piece-of-shit DA who refuses to prosecute quality of life crimes in San Francisco.  He also eliminated cash bail putting criminals back on the street right away.

Couillard would like to see proactive measures such as an increase in patrols by San Francisco police officers and that he wasn’t overly encouraged by the town hall meeting because it lacked concrete plans of action to reduce crime in the neighborhood.

“I think we want to love our neighborhood. We love our neighbors. We don’t want to let these sort of lowlifes scare us away.”

Not going to happen.  Boudin hates cops and is on the side of the criminals, not the taxpayers.

The data on the topic shows that it’s stuff like this that is what is causing people to flee San Francisco and California in general.

The thing is, my well of sympathy is dry.  I would put even money on betting that Couillard voted for Boudin.

Honestly, he can stay there and reap the whirlwind that he sewed and his house and car can be broken in daily, and he should be forced to stay there and endure the criminal run hellhole that he helped create.  All the residents of California should.
