  1.  @theJACK__  talking about crime and homelessness isn’t anti black. I live in SF and am concerned with these issues, there’s a small black population here, most homeless people I see are white. I’m not fans of Cenk and Ana but have seen or heard nothing that sounds like they’re racist

  2. In SF many of the homeless people if not most are mentally I’ll and addicted. Treatment is more important for many than housing or jobs. Denying the problems and calling people right wingers for bringing them up is ridiculous. In my neighborhood a young woman was admonished for complaining about a homeless person who tried to set her bldg on fire. People said she hated the unhoused and was wrong to call the cops as they might have killed the person. That attitude like yours helps no one.

  6.  @do_not_want_to  why would you assume he harasses homeless people? I’ve befriended several homeless people in my neighborhood, have a lot of compassion for them but also can acknowledge that SF is going to hell. People aren’t getting the help they need, people are having to deal with issues beyond inconvenience and when people mention the problem we get scolded as you did here “ you hate homeless people? “ I didn’t know you’re a Republican” it’s juvenile and helps no one. Kasparian brings it up and gets trashed by people who say no one says there’s no problem.

  7.  @do_not_want_to  you suggested that any interactions he has had if any with homeless people involved him harassing or verbally abusing them. The example he gave of a man with his pants down defecating on the sidewalk def sounds like someone who’s mentally ill or drunk or on drugs, probably not just unable to rent an appt. I gave the examples of being called a Republican etc because many progressives / liberals in SF deny the homelessness and crime problem and often accuse anyone who expresses concern of hating homeless people, kind of like you did with your accusations.

  8. In SF progressives ignore the problems and gaslight people who notice them. Those of us who express concern are called republicans and or Trump supporters.

  9. Progressives say it regularly in cities like SF. They say it’s FOX news propaganda

  10. You sound like Trump supporters who create their own version of reality, Trump won, Jan 6th was just a few people sight seeing. The crime, drug, mental illness and homeless problem is just a fact

  11. He also passed a law making it almost impossible to have someone committed
