Two quick additions to my post #27.
1. If you decide to carry pepper spray (police grade), be sure to learn how to use it. There are many good videos on YouTube.
2. Don’t just spray. Spray and MOVE. There have been many unfortunate cases of folks deploying the spray, but not moving. And so they get tackled or otherwise assaulted by the enraged bad guy.
This is NOT sane. There is something very sinister happening in this country and it has nothing to do with compassion or social justice. I honestly believe they are creating a subversive insurgency that will revolt against the US. Factor in the illegals, LGBQT, racist blacks, ANTIFA, pro abortion, anti 2nd amendment, homeless, criminals, mentally ill, thus making a formidable revolutionary army.
Those people unfortunate enough to be stuck in San Francisco or other liberal hellholes should remember how ranchers deal with predatory, but protected species. Shoot, shovel, shut up.
“San Francisco is finally reaping what they have been sowing.”
In this case, that appears to be directly true.
Here’s a piece from 7 years ago about Carmignani as “don” of the city’s burgeoning legal cannabis trade.
https://www.sfweekly.com/archives/s-f-s-new-cannabis-don/article_31d2a0d0-6eec-555d-a791-5026847fee6f.html
The legalization of weed has played no small role in creating a city littered with stoned, stupid people.
Now, of course, the crazy street person had no right bashing his man with a metai pipe. But Carmignani made his bed, and is now sleeping in it.
“I would not want to try to deal with that situation by myself.”
That’s because you’re a wuss.
“I would call the police.”
In San Francisco? Okay, you’re a dumb wuss.

Can we call them brownshirts yet ?
Underneath, I checked "mental" as to which one.
In the "explain" blank, I simply wrote "Too intelligent."
Haven't been called in 21 years since registering.
In the first year that Boudin, a tool of multi-billionaire George Soros, whose objective is to fund the disruption of society, was San Francisco’s prosecutor, homicides (by more than one-fifth), burglaries (by 54%), car thefts (by 37%), and arson (by almost 40%) increased, though overall crime was down from the year before. In Boudin’s second year, homicides were up by nearly 17%, assault by 9%, human trafficking-sex act by 29%, and larceny 24%. The overall incidents of crime grew by 13.5%. During his last months, rape, robbery, assault, car theft and larceny rose over the same period of the previous year. All crime was up 7.7%.
Boudin was elected in November 2019 on the promise that he would not prosecute quality-of-life crimes, which is an announcement that’s as good as any that even more crime will be tolerated. Fed-up voters tossed him from office in a June recall election by a 55-45 margin.
Preston, a self-identified democratic socialist, opposes increased policing and more funds for law enforcement, which he calls “pointless and counterproductive.” - https://www.pacificresearch.org/the-new-san-francisco-district-attorney-heres-what-shes-up-against/
In a potential violation of state law, then-Assistant District Attorney Brooke Jenkins last year sent sensitive files from the DA’s office to a fellow district attorney’s personal email account — and subsequently used the materials in the political campaign to oust DA Chesa Boudin. - https://missionlocal.org/2022/11/brooke-jenkins-don-dubain-troy-mcallister-police-report-rap-sheet-recall-chesa-boudin/
San Francisco's new District Attorney Brooke Jenkins is facing some ethics questions after it was revealed she took a paid consultant job for a non-profit linked to the effort to recall her predecessor Chesa Boudin. As was first reported in the San Francisco Standard, a financial disclosure form showed Jenkins was paid at least $100,000 to work for the non-profit organization Neighbors for a Better San Francisco. - https://patch.com/california/san-francisco/san-francisco-da-brooke-jenkins-denies-100k-payment-was-boudin-recall
I’ve got no sympathy for anyone who has voted for what goes on there

Okay election fraud denier.
Every time I’ve been called I was hoping to get picked. We need judicious people on juries.
In an act of self defense, should have emptied his magazine into the perp, center of mass, then reloaded, then kicked him to make sure he was no longer a violent murderous threat.
Clearly, this country is under a multi-faceted attack by evil. This case is obviously insane.
This is a literal war of ideas, except they’re not debated - just implemented by one side with no safeguard for the obvious consequences. It is being allowed by Biden and the DOJ. What these DA’s across the country are doing is criminal. Where are the R’s?
They’re all responsible. The only one that seems to be on our side and willing to fight it all is Trump - yet even here, some don’t agree he should be our candidate. I really don’t trust DeSantis enough yet, he’ll get dragged into the swamp.
The more the establishment declares war on Trump the more support he has from me. Something has to give.
“Okay election fraud denier.”
Ummm...you think the majority in California and San Francisco vote for conservatives? Sarcasm that I missed? What?
I got picked some time ago. I was amazed about the lack of any analytical skills of the people selected. If the jury is one of peers, the defendant must be a complete moron. Two equal sides on guilt or innocence. The one voting guilty said: He looks guilty. The one voting innocent said, his girl friend said he did not do it and women do not lie.
dont be alarmed
stay calm
we are still in the destruction phase of
build back better
is that a jest?
why would want to get out of jury duty?
with these commie DAs i would welcome the chance to crosscheck them
you think the majority in California and San Francisco vote for conservatives ?

As a matter of fact I do.
Victims don’t vote to retain their abusers.
Two election cycles
with observed hand counted paper ballots with following full forensic audits
would prove my point.
Why would they cheat so hard in so many ways otherwise ?
It’s obvious.
And that is what so many people here do not understand.
After watching young men running out of the store with as many bottles of booze under their arms as they could carry... I asked a clerk what type of police response they get when called. She said that the police no longer respond to shoplifting calls unless some type of assault had taken place... If one of the employees tries to take matters into their own hands by thwarting a shoplifter they are not only fired by the store, but the police are also called and they will show up to arrest the employee. They will not respond to get a shoplifter, but they will respond to arrest an employee.
They have a different policy at the Dollar Store. The employees are apparently allowed to try and stop shoplifters. I witnessed the pandemonium of such a scene. A big black male bum punched a female employee in the face who challenged him as he was trying to leave the store with merchandise that he was stealing. Other female employees came to her aid and were thrown to the ground and one who wouldn't let go of his leg was drug into the parking lot and brutally kicked.
I called 911 and got in my car and started following the guy. As the 911 operator was telling me not to follow him, I came upon a police officer who was sitting in his car playing with his phone. The criminal had just walked right by him.
I knocked on the window of his police car and got his attention. He rolled down his window and glared at me. I pointed to the criminal and told him that he just robbed the dollar store and assaulted several employees. He said that if I didn't stop bothering him that he was going to arrest me. He also said that if I harassed the criminal he would arrest me.
I went back to the dollar store and all of the employees were still upset, but apparently none was seriously injured. They said that the black guy was “homeless” and that he routinely stole from them and that he was not allowed in the store. But he keeps coming back. They said that they had called the police as well, but that the police were not coming since no one wanted to be transported to the hospital. The lady who was punched had just gone home. I left my name and contact info in case something came of it. I never got a call.
I wrote letters expressing my dissatisfaction with the Auburn PD and the officer who threatened to arrest me. I made calls to city government and council people. I got nowhere. I was stonewalled at every turn. This did not occur in a "large city". This is what we live with on the West Coast. The police here are paid twice what they get paid in the Midwest or the Southeast but they are still not required to do their jobs.
This all happened years ago before the "pandemic". Things have actually gotten worse here since then. Before I retired I worked for a "large city" that is considered one of the worst on the West Coast". At that time most of the police that I worked with were still trying to do their jobs. There were just a few that I had conflicts with; it was almost always a problem with them not wanting to do their jobs.
My wife recently went to a reunion with the kids that used to live in her neighborhood. One of them was a retired cop who I had worked with. He unfortunately was one of the worthless ones. He was complaining about firefighters getting more sleep than they did and talking about how he always blew his siren when he went past the station to wake us up. Of course, they worked 8-hour shifts and we worked 24-hour shifts. I could tell stories all day... my job was an education.
