#2 I've been in a lot of different cities in this country but I never felt more threatened by strangers on the street than when I was in San Francisco.

#4 San Francisco argued that its measure was a legitimate response to violent crime.

That's why its worked so well in DC /sarcam off. The confusion of symptom over cause. Show over substance. If you go hard after the criminals, that sort of thing diminishes. Not that criminals by nature were ever concerned about obeying your laws in the first place.

Me too. Try North Philly. West Baltimore, or what's left of it. DC about anywhere. Youngstown. Sorry, SF doesn't hold a candle.

#6 Alexis Thompson, spokeswoman for City Attorney Dennis Herrera, said the ruling was disappointing, "particularly in light of the continuing plague of handgun violence here in San Francisco."

Plague? I wonder how many more people die of AIDs in SF compared to handguns. Yet we don't see liberals demanding that the government regulate personal action against high risk sexual behaviors.
