    San Francisco in particular, and California overall, have reduced breaking into cars, and looting from stores to mere misdemeanors. Plus, they have abolished bail, so there's no detainment, and really no consequence. That all adds up to a position where the state says that property crime doesn't matter anymore. From this point, society crumbles. It's actually reasonable in this circumstance to propose and demand a return to law and order. Citizens now know that the police will not protect them, so a rise in vigilantism is understandable, and necessary where politicians have truly abdicated that responsibility. The ill conceived social experiment done by the Left has failed, and everybody sees that now.... even mayor London Breed.
