Gunfire on Market Street once again crackled in the afternoon air Monday, injuring one man and forcing the temporary closure of a section of the street popular with tourists.
The victim, described as a black man in his late 20s, was shot near the intersection of Turk, Mason and Market streets just before 2 p.m. and made his way down Market Street to Fifth Street, where people came to his aid before paramedics arrived, according to San Francisco police spokesman Steve Mannina.
The victim was transported to San Francisco General Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Mannina said. No arrests have been made.
A city employee charged with washing the sidewalk after the shooting, who didn’t want to give his name, said blood streaked down the sidewalk for about 30 feet along the victim’s path.
The shooting comes after several similar daylight shootings in The City this year. A January car chase ended with an 11 a.m. crash, a burst of gunfire and a bleeding victim stumbling into a nearby business. In April, a man jumped out of one car around noon and fired into another near Eighth and Market streets. On May 11, during lunchtime, a man opened fire on a car at Fifth and Harrison streets. Later in May, Mission High School senior Jamar Lake was shot and killed at about 10 a.m. at Eddy and Laguna streets.

I call BS, there are no guns in San Francisco.

It looks like we have lost the war in San Francisco. It seems to me it's time to pull the Democrats out of that city and redeploy them to French Frigate Shoals.

Boy, SF’s laws are tough!
Standard side arm of the SFPD, using .40 S&W. Cop I know says it's such a great gun she is buying a second one for her backup pistol. She will carry both guns with full clips and two additional full clips (of 12). She can pop out 2 clips quickly with near perfect accuracy at 30 feet.
Hey Harry, Pull out the troops, NOW!!!
OK. Where’s Dirty Harry?
Or better yet, InspectorHarryCallahan
How can this be? Aren’t guns banned in SF?
“Lt. John Murphy said more deadly violence than usual has taken place in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods this year.”
The lefties are getting restless.

Off topic a bit but related to the headline:
If one gay man kills another gay man (who dumped him) because he now hates him, will the first gay man be charged with a hate crime?
If it’s such a great gun, why doesn’t she need a backup?
intersection of Turk, Mason
Well, anytime you mix Turks and Masons, you can have problems.
