It is my impression that the balance of justice is off-kilter in SF right now. Feels like career criminals can act with virtually no consequences, until someone gets killed. The "broken windows" theory is feeling truer and truer to me. (5/x)

Our streets are filled with broken glass and our sidewalks are covered with garbage. Store windows are boarded up and almost nobody is out now after dark. I want to live in a city where couples stroll at night, hand in hand, feeling safe and enjoying the stars... (7/x)

I believe we as a city can have that again. But we need to be tough on crime. When people steal, destroy property, drive inebriated, and sell drugs they should not be awarded the same freedoms as law-abiding citizens. They need to be either a) reformed or b) detained.

What happened last night wasn't just. It was the opposite. It was wrong, it was tragic, and it was avoidable. I am hopeful that we do a serious post-mortem on this case, and reevaluate our approach to repeat offenders. This should never happen again. (Fin)
