This is a 100 percent real story from the San Francisco Chronicle. San Francisco elected a district attorney, Chesa Boudin, who never met a criminal he wanted to incarcerate, and it’s showing. The Chronicle believes that residents and city leaders face a tough choice: should they tolerate burglaries as part of city living and just focus on barricading their houses? Should repeat offenders be put in jail so they can’t commit more crimes?
Residents and city leaders are searching for answers: should they tolerate burglaries as a part of city living, and focus on barricading homes?
Should repeat offenders get rehabilitation services, or be incarcerated so they can’t commit more crimes? https://t.co/F0kaALqjU1 pic.twitter.com/QMqOjXJFMl

It's a toughie

Tolerating bullies taking your stuff is a sustainable option? Wow.

The absolute audacity of this city's leadership does not cease to amaze

The idea of “tolerating burglaries” is ridiculous!

Elect more democrats and send them more tax dollars. That should solve it.

I know this is hard for people of certain coastal metropolitan areas to comprehend, but there is a clear answer to this that most of the country still knows and we used to all know.
The answer is no. It's not something to just live with (plus barricading) in urban areas.

“should they tolerate burglaries as a part of city living”…. Only in California

We will bunker down in our homes and wait for the Chronicle to arrive so we know what to do next.
— Sfvic (@sanfranvic1) November 6, 2021
Yes, they should tolerate it.
We need a few cities (and possibly countries) in the developed world to take the hit as a lesson for everyone else.

It’s pretty wild that this question is even being posed
— Chris (@superbonesaw) November 6, 2021
When we've gotten to the point where people are seriously asking whether we should tolerate burglaries then maybe it's time to pack it in.

It’s official; there are no adults left in San Francisco.

Is this a parody article?

Probably my favorite thing about San Francisco is that I don’t live there.

Is this a serious question? Should they tolerate burglaries?
— Amash is Bae (@LBitter) November 6, 2021
I found this so laughable I had to screenshot it for memory. I’m in shock that just tolerating home invasions is being considered by some as a legitimate policy choice.

The fact this is even a question that requires any prolonged thought shows how much people have lost their minds.

This is actually a tweet/article by a real newspaper 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

To paraphrase, you are only allowed to be safe in your person and possessions if you are wealthy enough to live in a fortified house in a gated community. This is San Francisco's idea of social justice. And for the root cause people, they're stealing laptops and purses, not food.
— Antisocial Butterfly (@antisoc_bfly) November 6, 2021
Yes tolerate it like theft. Wonderful.

Good lord how far have you guys fallen? We are a nation of laws. Enforce them. Protect the people who abide by the laws, then worry about the criminals. We all make choices.

A few rounds of 9mm in anyone breaking into your home would quickly solve the problem. Too bad it's California, they get what they voted for.

You guys are so close! Don’t give up hope! I know you can figure this one out if you just think hard enough!
I believe in you!

Punish thought criminals and political dissidents, but allow violent criminals to run amok. The far-left lives in a morally inverted alternate reality.
Btw, this is the anarchy in "anarcho-tyranny"
— Respectable Businessman (@MirrorImmersed) November 5, 2021
In most nice parts of the world the police are allowed to do their jobs. San Francisco is not a nice place.

How is this even a real tweet?
