‘NO TOLERANCE FOR LAWBREAKERS’ — THE LIE OF SAN FRANCISCO AND NYC:
On Tuesday morning, the 43-year old founder of Cash App lay dying on a residential street in San Francisco. Bob Lee had been stabbed repeatedly.
Passersby ignored his pleas for help and drove on.
Police called arrived too late.
So the father of two bled out on the streets of Nancy Pelosi’s former district and was dead by the time police arrived.
Lee had recently left SF to move back to Miami because he felt that San Francisco was “deteriorating.”
When I heard about this I immediately wondered what the local District Attorney had to say.
Brooke Jenkins turned out to have a faster response time than the emergency services, jumping onto social media and other platforms to extend “sympathies” to the family of Mr. Lee and writing, “We do not tolerate these horrific acts of violence in San Francisco.”
It immediately put me in mind of the pronouncements of another DA and other officials a day earlier here in New York.
Because on Monday, ahead of the arraignment of Donald Trump, Mayor Adams and Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell had made their own public pronouncements to the people of New York.
Like DA Bragg, they talked as though Donald Trump and his supporters were the major threat to the life of New Yorkers. They told us to take the subway but otherwise try to go about our daily business while the media and political circus was in town.
But the standout comment was from Sewell who warned Trump supporters, “Violence and destruction are not part of legitimate lawful expression, and it will never be tolerated in our city.”
While Chicago may still be “MAGA Country,” for everyone else: People U-Hauling out of NY, California — heading to Texas, Florida: study.
