Our neighborhood is TRASHED

[RandySF]

My wife went out to to Union Square area and windows are smashed everywhere. The CVS store was cleaned out. That wasn't protest, it was straight up looting.

1. Took a walk around SOHO/NOHO/Union Square today and saw the area where the car fire was.

Not as much damage as the news made out but lots of banks and some high end stores with broken windows.

Lots of places were already boarded up due to COVID.

2. I"m so Sorry, RSF!

I can only imagine how this affects you and people in your neighborhood.

3. Some people here would claim it's good for something.

I am assuming they live far away from places sustaining serious damage.

5. Local News states there were roving looters in SF

No protesters there, just looters dressed all in black, drawing the outnumbered police from one location to another while they loaded their cars. TVs were left on the street when thy wouldn't fit their cars or the police arrived.

6. I believe those looters are not from the city and came from somewhere else.

A lot of MAGAs live in Contra Costa and easily could come into the city and cause mayhem.

7. Just wait about 20 minutes and someone will be along

to tell you that you shouldn’t be unhappy and should instead be happy because something something cause something didn’t happen in my neighbourhood something something.

8. Same with my daughter in Philadelphia

She lives in walking distance to City Hall. All the stores in her neighborhood were vandalized and looted. The lobby of her building was damaged. A residential building a few blocks from her was torched last night. She tells me the looting in her neighborhood is still going on.

She was scared to leave her apartment due to Covid. Now she has another reason to be terrified.
