Drug dealing in SF’s Tenderloin more organized than it looks on the streets

Running a drug-dealing operation in San Francisco’s Tenderloin can be both murderous and mundane, with suspected ringleaders described as ordering hits on rivals or suspected informants, dealing with high rents and slogging through commuter traffic.

The suspects — mostly Honduran nationals — stand accused of participating in a complex Bay Area drug trafficking operation that allegedly sold cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine just blocks from City Hall and the Federal Building.

So illegal aliens can come into the sanctuary city of San Francisco and sell heroin on the streets. The city provides free needles to the users of these drugs. Now the liberal city dwellers wonder why dangerous whacked out drug addled homeless people are living on their sidewalks. Must be Trump's fault.

Real life Mike Stone and Steve Keller types would be disgusted.

Let’s face it. The drug trade generates massive profits that the cartels use to corrupt anybody who needs to be corrupted, especially politicians. It’s as old as Al Capone in Shitcagpo and before. “Homelessness” creates a giant market for drugs and a HUGE cash flow for everybody who profits, with much of the cash coming from crime and welfare payments. Thus, in SF and LA, it’s the mother’s milk of goodness for “homeless advocates,” “civil rights” leaders, corrupt “clergy” (where did the Rev. Wright’s opulent church come from?), and politicians. Any genuine attempt to enforce basic quality of life laws will upset their giant scam, so vagrancy, public defecation, urination, and medieval filth proliferate.

Heather MacDonald confirms the prominence of Honduran drug dealers:

Drug sellers are as shameless as drug users. Hondurans have dominated the drug trade in the Tenderloin and around Civic Center Plaza and Union Square since the 1990s. They congregate up to a dozen a corner, openly counting and recounting large wads of cash, completing transactions with no attempt at concealment. Most of the dealers are illegal aliens. One might think that city leaders would be only too happy to hand them off to federal immigration authorities, but the political imperative to safeguard illegal aliens against deportation takes precedence over public order. Local law enforcement greets any announced federal crackdown on criminal aliens with alarm.
