(this is just an oppinion) I think they should bring back public exicution eliminate manditory minimum sentences expidite death row wait time to 24hr at the most and advocate public arming and training eachother. if you live in a place where you feel you could be robbed, its your responsibility to get ready for it. Police don’t help anyone. They MIGHT catch the people who did it, probably not. if you can prove ( to a jury in court ) you feared for your life and honestly thought it was the only way out, kill those people. You kill a few, thats a few off the street, indefinitely.

Bold fuckers. I believe this happened to a friend of a friend, because of the way I heard about it last night. According to the police who assisted me when I was mugged (16th/capp 8pm on a wed. a while back), yes the DA’s treatment of this type of crime leaves a lot to be desired. Although they mentioned something about not having death penalty which isn’t exactly my idea of the best way to abate crime.

Hey Jimbeam -
I understand your point about “lumping” but it should be noted that Mission pimps associate with Mission drug dealers and sometimes are one in the same. In addition being allowed to work on the streets with little police interference enables them to observe the goings on of a particular neighborhood (i.e. who lives where, when are they home, which cars/bikes/motorcycles are left unattended for hours at a time) which enables them to spot easy targets for theft. Unfortunately, I’m speaking from experience as a 15 year Mission resident. Criminals also represent a kind of “community” in this tolerant city of ours.

ya, I heard yesterday 911 can route you all the way to Sacramento (would that be CHP dispatch?)

Regardless it was frustrating to be disconnected by 911, but then actually have a hard time getting the local dispatch to do something other than tell us to call 911 back. crazytown.

here’s my account of the event:

Dude, SF is an incredibly low crime city when compared to similarly-sized cities across the US.

Also, your lumping of prostitution and armed robbery into the same category of “street crime” doesn’t really explain the issue accurately.

SFPD IS tough on armed robbery.

It IS NOT tough on prostitution (or petty drug dealing or DUIs for that matter).

No one is saying that’s good, but it is certainly different.

Almost no one “likes street crime.” That’s a ridiculous statement. We all know you are pissed that you have to see prostitutes and petty drug dealers. You have every right to be, but armed robbery is something that is taken seriously by SFPD.
