Anyone shocked by this has clearly never been to San Francisco. I once saw a bunch of idiots chain themselves to a three foot tall landscaping tree in protest over the city's plan to move the tree. (They were putting in a playground.)
San Fran was the bunch who legalized prostitution and THEN banned sex with dead people. A mortuary employee was found asleep naked on top of a body prompting the law.
well my friend look at the whole of the United States and look at what an embarrassment it is. Corrupt, controlled by business and all 3 legislative branched are controlled by Conservatives. those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Present-day San Fran is what happens when liberalism goes unchecked.
