Let me get this straight. The convicted murderer was already on probation for a gun charge. Shot the victim 11 times in front of the victim’s kids. And will only serve a 13 year sentence!?!?!?!?!? How low will these sentences be after the CCR takes effect? Pure insanity. twitter.com/postlocal/stat…

DC is a traumatized city. It doesn’t matter that statistics suggest a small drop in violent crime so far this year. Perception is as important as reality when human life is at stake.

Everyone goes through trials & tribulations. There will always be roadblocks & haters who will try their hardest to hold you back.
Will you let them win? Or will you push through and come out victorious on the other side? Your mindset and determination makes all the difference.

Next time a pro crime apologist tells you we need “more resources” let them know the city spends $115 MILLION on violence prevention. Plenty of help for those who want it.
We just need to be real & accept some don’t want any help. No more excuses for ppl terrorizing our city.

Important thread… if you want to understand the political grifters who are perpetuating the fentanyl crisis to stay in power and/or profit from the “homeless-industrial complex”
Quote Tweet
San Francisco is experiencing a drug overdose crisis. The fentanyl crisis is caused by a city that does very little to stem the open air drug markets that proliferate in TL, SOMA and downtown.
The city must make a change, but SF hard left political machine fights for status quo

“Advocates” fought tooth & nail to remove ppl living in tents into actual housing. Their main concern was that they would no longer be able to provide “services”. “Advocates” run interference on common sense public safety approaches. If we continue to have violent crime…

How the con game works.
DC’s biggest grifters are the so called “advocates” who have jobs tied to the continued economic status of residents who are at the bottom. They run interference on any attempt to actually solve a problem. If the problem is solved, their funding stops.
