Vigilantism is the the final outcome of Leftist policy. Police only exist to protect criminals. After that, citizens fill the void.

We need walled communities, with security forces.

It's the usual solution, after all, to armed invasions of plunderers.

I prefer the streetlights and rope communication prevention method.

Bring back the vigilance committees. They were able to deal with the Sydney Ducks in short order.

Two men with long criminal histories got caught for stealing bikes. What should S.F. do about them?​

Residents and city leaders are searching for answers: Should they tolerate a high level of burglaries as a downside of city living, and focus on barricading their homes? Should people who are repeatedly accused of stealing be targeted with rehabilitation services, or incarcerated so they can’t commit more crimes?

Supervisor Rafael Mandelman is frustrated. He’s a longtime supporter of criminal justice reform whose policy views evolved as he grappled with property crime in his district — a persistent problem that makes residents feel vulnerable in their own homes.

“It raises tricky questions about incarceration,” Mandelman said. “Because so far we’ve been unable to release (Tiller and Howerton) without them committing more crimes. And the question for reformers is, ‘What do we do with someone like that?’”

The Castro and surrounding neighborhoods are hot spots for burglary, in part because many of the homes have garages or basements where residents stow bicycles — an enticement for thieves, because they are valuable and fairly easy to swipe.

Several factors are fueling the trend, from neighborhood architecture, to the e-bike craze, to the increased popularity of bicycles during the pandemic, because gyms were closed and people were driving less often. Thefts of e-bikes and bicycles took off at a time when auto burglaries became less appealing, owing to the dearth of tourist rental cars with luggage in their trunks.

So it's a very high priced old neighborhood.

Garages are detached.

Criminals are breaking into detached garages and stealing mostly bicycles.

What to do?

Police say to strengthen the garages and add security stuff like alarms and cameras.

It took me a moment ---------- "a la lanternes!!" as the French said about the high price of bread.

The National Convention kept begging the mob not to hang the bakers, as being a counter-productive response.

Execute everyone who breaks either of two laws:

1. Don't hurt people.
2. Don't take their stuff.

Societies that really worked did that for centuries, such as Rome and England.

I prefer guns and backhoes.

No they need to turn on their leaders that let shit get this out of control.

Sure, but nobody is insisting on good government. No one has power to insist. The Mexicans rule, and their real country is worse than California, even, a failed state. California will soon be a failed state.

You know, this happens a lot in history. Government collapses --- you do realize that is what is going on all over California, from the wildfires to the rampant crimes and the homelessness? That's called "collapse of government"! Did you all think it was, like, just a momentary blip? Civil government has already collapsed. This is what that looks like, and it will get worse.

People either have to move away or put in walled communities with guards on the walls. Which doesn't work either in the long run. Sometimes it takes centuries to restore civilization. Britannia collapsed completely and instantly after the Romans left in 410. NO towns. NO cities. At all. It was like our prepper post-apoc novels --- it does and has happened. No money anymore, no trade, massive depopulation. Enclosures of ditches and dirt walls around every hut or three huts. Then came the Anglo-Saxons raiding, then came the Vikings raiding, because the country was wholly undefended.

Finally King Alfred developed a network of fortifications in the late 800s and fixed the situation by drafting a whole lot of male subjects to serve as a standing army. They did NOT, NOT have the California squeamishness about executing malefactors who were raiding and robbing! But note it took some 500 years before there was anything but the most basic survival living in single huts standing alone. This is what the prepper novels describe after civilization collapses, and I think they are right because it's happened many times before. Civilization is delicate and easily destroyed. We are letting ours be destroyed.

Killing out the bad guys is in fact the only solution, but we've become way too weak to recognize that. And confused, with the "criminals are really the victims" confusion.

Progressive culture produces illiterate criminals.
The Taxpayers provide Democrat Voters with free housing, free food, free medical care, free education and free public transportation.
There no reason for the low class trash Democrats to be robbing and stealing.
