Doesn’t San Francisco ban guns? How are all these people being shot?

My favorite detail reported in this story: "... bullets and other evidence was found in front of the Pottery Barn where Saturday night's shooting happened..."

Not exactly the OK Corral.

From Wiki: Bayview-Hunters Point is also home to 2 of the most notorious gangs in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Westmob (located on West Point and Middle Point Roads) and Big Block (located on Harbor Road) gangs.

Not a smart decision to go down there for a "vigil."

The first question answered the second one. It’s amazing that they can’t seem to figure that out, isn’t it?

If you read the comments in the Chronicle, you will see that the gays have been complaining about the large numbers of heterosexual gang members coming to their fair.

Shooting up vigils for shooting victims seems to be a new trend. Maybe they should stop holding vigils and start holding trials.

Why don’t people complain when innocent people are killed in San Francisco by illegals?

Can’t seem to work up much sympathy. Sorry.

I can. I don’t care if they’re gay, straight, or whatever; unless they did something to provoke the shooting (and I’ve seen no indication that they have), no one deserves to be shot.

You obviously did not see Phil McCrackin’s atrocious handbag. It clashed horribly with his top.

You HAVE got to preface your comments with “Spew Alert”.

Does anyone know how to get iced tea out of a keyboard? LOL

It’s not that. They made their bed in regards to ‘icky” guns & how they needed to be banned. Because of that, residents cannot protect themselves.
BECAUSE of that, it’s hard to gin up any sympathy.
Sorry, they voted on it, they get to live with the results.
Yes. Elections DO have consequences.

This was not a gay thing. This was a case of Black gang members from Bayview - Hunters’ Point going to cause trouble in the Castro because they knew there was a street party going on, much like started to happen at the Castro Halloween parties, which have been stopped. So they found trouble with other gang members from Bayview Hunters’ point. The shooting at the vigil was just a case of the dispute going back to the ‘hood it came from.
