This is sad news, but 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. SF has one of the lowest homicide rates of big cities. For some perspective, Oakland has half the population of SF and almost 3x the murder rate https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/pictures/murder-map-deadliest-u-s-cities/ https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/pictures/murder-map-deadliest-u-...

    If your first reaction to someone being literally stabbed to death is to write a comment about such a thing being literally impossible as political cover for your 'side'...you might be the problem

  A random act of violence can happen anywhere. Objectively, SF is not a dangerous city when it comes to violent crimes. In 2000s, SF was indeed a violent city with triple digit murders.

      Get out of here with your logical arguments! You’re ruining the fun for all the people that don’t think crime is a big deal.

      Yes, and California is much larger and more complex politically than some European countries. What is your point

      And Europe has 10x the rate of Asian cities. What’s your point ? Every country has their own nuances and a city within a country is not devoid of context

That Oakland is a really, really, really dangerous city does not preclude the reality of San Francisco's increasing lawlessness.
