Reports: San Francisco City Helps Keep Americans on Drugs
2022-02-12
[Breitbart] San Francisco’s government is allowing Honduran drug dealers to prey on Americans, a homeless drug addict told Micheal Shellenberg, the author of a book about the city government’s support for drug addiction.

“I’ve talked to the cops here [saying] ‘I’m literally 10 feet away from the drug dealers talking [while] to you guys, why don’t you guys arrest them right now?”‘said James, a coherent addict from Texas. He continued:

And they’re like “Arrest them for what?” And I’m like, “Dude, what the f…?” [They respond] “San Francisco is a sanctuary city. [If] we arrest the Hondurans, we put them in jail [and] they’re out two days later.”

The video comes amid news that President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has sharply reduced the deportation of illegal migrants, and as the federal government is expanding subsidies for progressive groups which may provide “harm reduction” crack pipes and syringes to addicts instead of helping them break away from addiction.

Nellie Bowles, a former New York Times reporter, wrote about the city’s encouragement of drug addiction:

Over the past two years, more than 1,360 people have died from drug overdoses in San Francisco. That is more than double the number who have died from Covid.

[….]

The people in charge of homelessness and addiction want to bully people into giving up public streets and parks. They want to take your tax money and let your suffering neighbors die gentle, stoned deaths while they watch and call it justice.

Shellenberg is the author of San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities, which covers the government-backed drug distribution network on his website:

Right now, in the heart of downtown San Francisco, “the bullshit” the mayor spoke about is worsening by the day. The city is running a supervised drug consumption site in United Nations Plaza—just blocks away from city hall and the opera house—in flagrant violation of state and federal law. (Two weeks ago, my colleagues and I broke the story. The San Francisco Chronicle confirmed our reporting.) There, city-funded service providers supervise people smoking fentanyl and meth they buy from drug dealers across the street.

The police do nothing. Indeed, the mayor, through the Department of Emergency Management and the Department of Public Health, is running the site.

[…]

The city is carrying out a bizarre medical experiment whereby addicts are given everything they need to maintain their addiction—cash, hot meals, shelter—in exchange for . . . almost nothing. Voters have found themselves in the strange position of paying for fentanyl, meth and crack use on public property.

#1  Over the past two years, more than 1,360 people have died from drug overdoses in San Francisco. That is more than double the number who have died from Covid.

So the logical response to the former is to create an open-air city-backed shooting gallery-cum-tent city facing City Hall while forcing pointless masks and failed pseudo-vaccines to address the latter. Riiiight.

The city is carrying out a bizarre medical experiment

Funny that the gummint seems to be carrying out lots of bizarre medical experiments these days...

...whereby addicts are given everything they need to maintain their addiction—cash, hot meals, shelter—in exchange for . . . almost nothing. Voters have found themselves in the strange position of paying for fentanyl, meth and crack use on public property.

Makes perfect sense. Addicts and Degenerates = God's Children. Citizens = The Class Enemy
