The repeatedly bashed head of the city’s ex-fire commissioner is an example of why spray is no substitute for a gun.
Excellent point.

“I was just informed by my attorneys prosecuting m for having pepper spray for defense bringing charges against me.”

They should try using AI to proofread. People are certainly not doing it anymore. This just drives me nuts.

This is the problem: juries are made up of people too dumb to get out of jury duty.

The police in a large city would not come to a citizens aid unless there is a major crime involved.

The Police make it clear they do not work for the people, the #1 directive is Officer safety #2 is enforcing laws with the governments best interest as priority,

sadly I am not being sarcastic this is 100% true

I wonder what kind of pepper spray this poor guy used. There’s the watered-down junk you can buy at store check-out lines.

And then there’s the police-grade stuff, available on Amazon. Fox and Sabre are good brands.

As a side note, I went through a bit of pepper spray training decades ago when I worked security for a large university. One blast, and I wasn’t in the mood to swing a crowbar, or attack anyone. I couldn’t even see. I was done.

They weren’t smoking “crack cocaine” they were smoking methamphetamine. I’m not going to call the guy an idiot for that false assumption but it is kind of important to know what you are dealing with. Crack cocaine is very expensive and not that easy to get but meth is practically everywhere in California.

In many cases like that, they won’t respond, or respond slowly, I assume hoping the problem remedies itself because there isn’t anything they can do. Trust me, I’ve been there.

“I would call the police.”

I don’t think the San Francisco police are in much of a hurry to deal with vagrants, or drug users.

New DA to replace the old one and absolutely NOTHING changes.

They’d probably charge the homeowner for allowing vagrancy.

I have said this many times, and I will say it again. By the time the police arrive, they will be measuring you for a toe tag. The police cannot protect you in that kind of situation they arrive after it’s all over with.

“ I just got my jury summons yesterday...”

Haven’t been called in years. I’ll probably get called now that I’m married. The last person they want on a jury in Fulton County GA is a single straight white republican male.

It’s easy to get off jury duty. Just tell them you are a Rush Limbaugh listener, or now, tell them you listen to archived Rush shows daily.
