    >as much as I am a critic of SF’s policies around homelessness and drugs, it is not a dangerous city that someone will get murdered. If you read the article, you'll find that SF is…

    That is interesting speculation. In any case, the victim's name is now a matter of public record: https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/fatal-stabbing-bob...

    It's impolitic to mention, but black Americans commit most murders in the US despite their small share of the population. Black American women are more likely to commit murder than…

    Sad but true. This philosophy isn't exclusive to one race or demographic, either. Poor white kids fall into criminal subcultures just like anyone else when there seems to be no hop…
