dollars 2 donuts Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Guy gets shot in the chest and then seeing him walk to the ambulance before getting on the gurney has got to be one of the most bad ass things I’ve seen in awhile and if he recovers quickly and plays soon he is going to become a legend. 1 1
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 1 Posted September 1 SF is the most beautiful, yet one of the most disgusting cities I’ve ever visited. About 7 years ago, my wife and I went there for a week for a work conference. One of the nights we walked to a restaurant for dinner. It was about 6-7 blocks from our hotel right in downtown. On the way back to the hotel we got confronted by a vagrant drug addict with a box cutter demanding money. We ran away and found a Target store and tried to hide inside. All the while the addict stood outside, face pressed against the glass window, literally drooling all over the window and screaming at us. We alerted some employees who said they were going to call the police. To our knowledge, no police ever even responded. We had to wait in there for about 45 minutes until we left the rear exit of the store and caught an Uber back to the hotel. All politics aside, I’ve been to most major cities in the US. SF was the one in which I felt most unsafe. Miami is a close 2nd, BTW. Just gross. 🤢 2 1

I can confirm that. Real estate prices in the cities are coming down though, as those who can afford to are moving. 2

Not sure how some people have gotten to the point of blaming law abiding citizens for the actions of garbage criminals , but here we are. Yeah a key aspect of society is to raise children into functioning members of said society when it doesn't do that then it did fail them. No one is absolving them of guilt, they still committed crimes and have to go through the process of punishment/reform to rejoin society. But this isn't a groundbreaking concept, taking young adults committing crimes and just saying well they're just bad is just lazy and accomplishes nothing. Edited September 1 by Warcodered 1

I think I'll skip going again so I can have those memories... 2 1

Once the government starts punishing criminality appropriately with harsh sentences then I’ll look for a solution to the lack of hugs at home. 1 2

Just gross. 🤢 Nothing says welcome to our fair city like an addict with a box cutter! 😂 As I noted earlier, we were advised by the wife’s local people to just stay away from SF. And I have to agree with you about Miami. We got lost one time heading to the Orange Bowl. We got off at the wrong exit and we saw things we had never seen before. It felt like we were in another world entirely. That is about as frightened as I have ever been. Even in a “nice area” like South Beach I could only order by pointing at the menu. I was the only person around who spoke English. That just feels odd. As they say, you know what the best thing about Miami is? It’s so close to the United States! . Edited September 1 by Augie 1 1

If he's "laughing his ass off" then he's finding humor in something that's not funny. Nice name calling btw. Very well. Would it be fair to say that not everyone finds it funny, but rather sad and unfortunate? 1

Radar Posted September 1 Posted September 1 2 hours ago, chris heff said: Buffalo homicide rate is 9.7% per 100,000 people, San Francisco is 6.3% per 100,000, according to USA Facts. US News and World Report, according to FBI statistics, ranks San Francisco 20th for most dangerous US Cities. I got mugged years ago, two guys, one had a knife to my throat. I made a business decision that my life was worth more than the money in my pocket and my watch. Any questions? Yeah, Buffalo and Rochester are just as dangerous as San Francisco by all accounts.

My wife and I went to South Beach for a vacation in 2018. We were in Little Havana walking around, and this guy came walking down the street carrying about 6 or 7 of those bungee cords with the metal S hooks on the ends. As he approached the intersection where we were standing amongst a large group of people he started swinging them around in the air. I quickly grabbed my wife’s hand and pulled her the opposite way down the street. When he got to the group of people he just started whipping random people with the cords. People were screaming and a few guys tried to subdue him. We took off. Was one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever witnessed. 1
