SanFrancisco-cels sneed back and forth about Reagan, progressives, and whether to take drug-addicted vagrants to jail on a video of a drug-addicted vagrant throwing trash

Whole thread is but here's a few good comment chains.

This guy no longer believes in progressivism

I went to a show at a theater in the TL on Wednesday night, it was really great and the venue ws packed. Great to see everyone out having a good time.

And coming home I saw two (what looked like) dead or dying people/bodies.

One, on the sidewalk. Guy laying down in the middle of the sidewalk, with a needle and what looked like rigor mortis, stiffened.

Two, an accident might have been a fatality (car crash, on the way home to East Bay).

No TRUE progressive would let the city fester!

Oh for frick's sake stop blaming Reagan!! Cali has had a Democrat super majority for decades, so why haven't they reinstated these institutions?? We have a budget surplus, so money is not an issue.

Sneed-and-forth about what to do with the mentally ill (my favorite exchange here tbh)

I don’t care drug addicted or mentally ill, lock him up somewhere. Enough of this shit.

So full of compassion you are. You realize the reason this persists is because the services he needs don’t exist, they were removed in the 70s and 80s. Locking them up only makes it harder for them to get back on their feet, and is literally the opposite of solving the problem. But hey, I guess it sates your emotions, so that’s okay right? Stop being so darn reactionary.
