I hear you there - I would much prefer legalization and taxation. But in the meantime, we could prevent them from congregating on the streets, leaving needles and mayhem in their wake. New York accomplished this in the 90s. This can be accomplished again - with proper policy.
Our own laws confiscating property where users gather and drug use and sales take place has uniquely created the outdoor open air drug markets we have in San Francisco, but our brutal violent police state certainly doesn't help, we would like drugs users off the street, let them.
No, what has created the open air markets, are that police have been told to stand down and not make arrests for brazenly breaking the law in broad daylight. Get users into treatment centers, dealers off the streets. Simple.
Criminalizing more people isn't going to prevent crime. Society has to improve the social conditions that produce poverty. That is the basis for most criminal behavior. There are legislative solutions for that, but as I said before, it's beyond the scope of what a DA can do.
And you made the key point there at the end. The DA should prosecute those that break the law. Circumstances dictate sentencing by the judge or jury. The SF DA has abdicated his responsibility and cares more for criminals than for victims. Get him out immediately.
Any process towards victim's restitution absolutely involves their word. The key point I made is that prison is still on the table, but it should be treated as a measure of last resort when measures to increase perpetrator accountability as exhausted
Especially when in this moment of pandemic our overcrowded mass incarceration system poses such a systematic epidemiological existential risk. Now especially prison must be our last resort!
So let crime thrive? Great plan. Our DA is not fit for the position.
Is it your opinion that Boudin is responsible for the increased crime this year? Do you have evidence to support that?
He contributes, by failing to prosecute - and his record and ideological stance and background point to this directly. Legislation also plays a part - prop 47 is terrible as I mentioned earlier. There is no deterrent to crime - criminals know this - and take advantage.
