  1. I have been advocating Grandmas with Guns and the Mission A-Team for almost 2 years now!

    I have more faith in 80 year old grandmas than Mission Police that can’t even protect their own Castle against rioting Thugs.

    In the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army made nearby civilians live in circular hamlet camps at night if they did not want to get carpet bombed overnight.

    I think we should all take refuge in Kink.com’s Citadel on 15th st. at night for safety. That way I am safe and I can meet new girlfriends that will want to punish me 😉

  2. Good to have Supervisor Campos working on renaming SFO while we have violent muggings in the Mission every weekend.

    1. Campos is useless. I tried to meet with him to share concerns around Garfield park and he never responded.

    1. Whatever background these perpetrators come from, perhaps the police should force more corporal types of punishment for these scumbags. I used to live in Arizona, where the authorities never put up with any crap. Perhaps the city needs to get rid of these politically correct, image-conscious police, and hire someone like Sheriff Joe Arpaio who will show no mercy for these stupid assholes! (Then again, we are way too liberal here, so why would anything change?)

      1. Sheriff Arpaio? the guy who ignored 100’s – yes, 100’s — of sex crimes because he had nis officers focused on [1] getting publicity for him and [2] trying to arrest as many brown people as possible. He’s a narcissistic clown, not a serious law man.

        You want corporal punishment? Singapore-style beatings? What wee need are more police, NY-style, so the chances of getting caught go up.
