This is all not surprising in the “Do As I Say - Not As I Do” mentality of most Dems.

But beneath that was a more interesting story, of which I’ve copied and pasted here:

Fool’s luck: San Francisco sheriff’s deputies were carrying out a foreclosure eviction out on 47th Avenue the other afternoon when they found something that stopped them dead in their tracks.

Inside a box in the garage was what appeared to be a hand grenade.

The deputies called the cops, who called the bomb squad, who came out and confirmed that, indeed, it was a live, World War II, Russian-made hand grenade.

It was also decided that the grenade was too volatile to transport, so it was blown up by the bomb squad in a special box.

Inspector Jeff Levin said the house’s 60-year owner told him the grenade had been left in storage by his 40-year-old former son-in-law.

Levin tracked that man down to a Tenderloin hotel where he lives to ask how he got hold of the deadly explosive.

“A friend gave it to me back in 1993,” the clueless ex-son-in-law said. “I thought it was a paperweight.”

Then he added: “I’d tried a couple of times to pull out the pin, but I couldn’t get it to budge.”

Anyone living in the Tenderloin has serious issues.
