Wiesley said the suspect was holding a knife and yelling incoherently when Knorps walked by.

This describes what you walk past every 50 feet in the SoMa district of San Francisco.

Maybe it was Ward Churchill on a rampage...

[bubbacluck]

That is, unfortunately, funny.

[Disambiguator]

Funny, maybe, but tragic. I’m speaking from firsthand experience. SF is quite literally a loony bin.

I had the misfortune of having to visit the University of Wisconsin at Madison on business some years back. There were “things” walking and sitting around the campus and public buildings that were damn scary.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

Wonder how long it will take the liberals to start screaming for knife control on campus? That will solve everything.

[Disambiguator]

Think of the insane homeless as a metaphor for the end result of liberalism.

IIRC, the local news said that the perp’s address is a local psych facility. This guy also has a history of violent assault but he was found innocent because of his mental condition.

[Syncro]

Not quite as bad now that you have left...

SF is quite literally a loony bin.

That's why I don't visit there anymore. It is a beautiful city, Baghdad by the Bay, as columnist Art Hoppe used to say, but myself and my family's safety are higher in priority.

[RDTF]

escapee or an outpatient?

[Syncro]

Actually that was Herb Caen.

The nickname “Baghdad by the Bay” was coined in 1949 by writer Herb Caen about 1949.

It’s best not to take you family to the scrungy areas of SF, just like it’s not a good idea to take them to those areas in any town.

I never lived there, just passed through once in a while. I spent my sojourn in the Bay Area further down the Peninsula or in the East Bay.

[mollynme]

I'm guessing that it's some kind of half-way house. More info on the maniac here.

[bubbacluck]

You are right. Art Hoppe was humorous, Herb Caen was Mr. San Francisco. I think.

[visualops]

This guy also has a history of violent assault but he was found innocent because of his mental condition.

The way we handle certain things in this country defies description sometimes.

[RDTF]

Thanks for the link.
Apparently this thread is now about San Francisco.

[Syncro]

Oh OK I see.

Next time you are passing through, FR mail me and I’ll show you the other side of SF. Lots of good cultural and interesting places there. And views.

A beautiful city, but like all cities there are places to avoid.

What a way to start your first day of college.
